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.

Caused by Staphylococcus aureus what condition became prominent in the 1970s when tampon-using women were getting it?

The condition prominent in the 1970's in tampon using women was Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS).Certain tampon brands started using super-absorbent materials that were not safety tested, these materials caused vaginal tears which resulted in vaginal hemorrhaging and higher risk of TSS as it gave bacterial toxins from bacteria like Staphylococcus Aureus direct access to the bloodstream. Tampon companies not only continued to sell these tampons but also heavily promoted these new tampons to get more women using them. At the time nothing was known about TSS or tampon risks so women were also using these tampons for far longer than they should have, thus allowing larger numbers of bacteria to multiply which also increased the risk of them contracting TSS.

Is it dangerous to take out tampon with hymn?

I assume that you mean hymen, if so then no it's not dangerous to remove a tampon with a hymen. The vast majority of women have a hymen, if the hymen covers more of the vaginal opening then you simply need to push the hymen out of the way so you can easily remove the tampon. For the most part the hymen shouldn't be an issue when using tampons.
