How many times do you change a tampon a day?

Answer 1

It depends on her flow and what absorbency she is using.

I have hyper-menorrhagia - I would leak through an ultra absorbency tampon, overnight pad, and my clothing within 15 minutes on a heavy day. For most women withmenorrhagia tampons aren't enough to deal with heavy flow, menstrual cups are a better option as they hold more flow, don't leak like tampons, and unlike tampons cups can be worn overnight with no need to alternate with pads.

Answer 2

How often a woman changes her tampons depends on how heavy her flow is. Menorrhagia is defined by anything over 80ml of flow loss, but it could range from 80ml in one woman to 800ml in another woman so in some women they may not be able to use tampons at all as their flow is so heavy. Generally if you're changing an ultra absorbency tampon every hour that's menorrhagia.

Answer 3

Tampons need to be changed every 4-6 hours, or sooner if your tampon leaks before then. Remember that you also need to alternate with pads, at least overnight. How often you change your tampons depends on absorbency used, your flow, and whether you alternate with pads more often.
