I have been on my period about 24 hours now and i have to change my super tampon at least 1 time in an hour. Is this normal?

If this is normal for you, then yes. Your period is heavy but for some women this is normal, it's not so heavy as to put you at risk and if your flow is normally heavy it's nothing to be concerned about. If you see flow increase more than this or start to feel weak then see a doctor.

How long should you sleep when you have your period?
same as normal, just dont wear a tampon. if you do, wake up every 2 hours to change it. Or you will get a serious infection.
What if you are going white water rafting and started your period this morning what do you do when you have to spend 15 hours on a boat with no option to change a tampon?
There is no way that you would be expected to sit on a boat for 15 hours without any access to a toilet - it just wouldn't happen, if you have access to a toilet then you can change your tampon and pads. If you are ever in a situation where you can't change a tampon every 4-6 hours then you shouldn't use a tampon, you can leave menstrual cups or softcups in for up to 12 hours so could potentially go a little longer without risk.
Your period lasted 30 hours this is not normal can i get some answers?
A period lasting 30 hours can be normal as a period can be as short as one day.
What do i do if I'm terrified of getting my period?
relax! you don't have to worry. getting your period is normal. You just feel normal, except for wearing a pad. Just remember to change it every few hours.
How do you know when to change that?
By that you mean a tampon? I'm only 14 but when I use a tampon either something in my head tells me it needs to change or I feel something bubbling out. For you wait until 4-5 hours or until its leaking.
When a women has just changed and has to urinate right after that should she change her tampon again?
No, not neccessary. The tampon should be inside, beyond the urethra and not be affected, only the string and that should be OK for the next few hours.
How long do period pads last?
During the day, change your pad every three to four hours to prevent odor, stains on your clothes, and possible vaginal infections. Source: http://www.plannedparenthood.org/teen-talk/watch/period-how-use-pad-tampon-cup-26793.htm
When should you know to take your tampon out?
Tampons need to be changed every 4-6 hours.If your tampon leaks then you remove the tampon before this time, and if the tampon leaks within 1-2 hours you may want to use the next absorbency up. Remember you change absorbency as flow changes, if the tampon isn't saturated in blood after 4-6 hours you need to use lower absorbency or if already using lowest absorbency you need to switch to pads as your flow is too light for tampons.Many women use pads or pantiliners as back-up, especially when first using tampons.
What does it mean when your period just stops for a few hours and then goes on a few hours later?
Normal
What could be wrong if you spotted for 3 days and then it stopped but suddenly you had a period that was so heavy that a tampon didn't last more than an hour?
Hi Heavy bleeding like this needs to be investigated by your doctor. Bleeding that is so heavy that it requires you to change your pad or tampon every 1-2 hours, is too heavy and definitely needs to be told to your doctor.
Can you wear a thong when you have your period?
Of course! you have two main options. the first is to wear a tampon. this is the most effective. The second is to wear a thong pantyliner. these work on low flow days but not very well on heavy days. Of couse you can. Just be sure to wear a tampon when wearing a thong during your period. You don't feel a thing when you have it in you, but be sure to change it every 5-8 hours. Yes, but you can't put on a pad, you'd have to wear a tube.
