Tampon size isn't an issue because the vagina is flexible and designed to allow far bigger things than tampons to pass through, the issue is absorbency. Tampons absorb vaginal moisture causing dryness and in turn splitting and ulceration in the vaginal walls, this makes tampon use potentially uncomfortable and gives toxins responsible for TSS direct access to the bloodstream - higher absorbency means higher risk of pain and TSS. If the tampon leaks within 1-2 hours a higher absorbency is okay, but if a tampon isn't soaked in blood after 4-6 hours use lower absorbency.

Do you still need a pad or tampon after you period?
No, tampons and pads (also other menstrual products) are only needed on your period.Once your period is over you no longer use tampons or pads, in fact as your period comes to an end you need to stop using tampons because tampons cannot be used with light flow or spotting. It is a good idea to carry tampons and pads with you ready for when your next period starts, if you're young menstrual cycles can be irregular so your periods can start suddenly without warning.
Can you get tss after your period is over?
Yes, it is possible to contract TSS after menstruation. Assuming that you have removed any tampons that you were using and have not used tampons when not menstruating, TSS can still occur because it can take some time for the TSST-1 toxins responsible for TSS to have a noticable effect on the body. Tampons allow bacterial growth while preventing vaginal cleaning and effecting vaginal pH, so this can cause bacterial imbalance - if the vagina cannot right itself harmful bacterial growth may continue even after a tampon is removed. Tampons also can leave fibres embedded in the vaginal walls and in the cervical opening, there have been multiple cases with a well-known tampon brand where fibres have collected within the opening of the cervix over several months and has on occasion resulted in TSS.

Can continuous use of tampons cause vaginitis?
There's no such thing as a safe tampon - there are always health risks due to effect on the vagina, they're self-tested and self-regulated so there are health concerns with commercial brands too.Tampons dry-out vaginal tissues causing splitting and ulceration which can contribute to vaginitis, they allow bacterial growth while preventing vaginal cleaning so increase risks of vaginal infections, and commercial tampons may contain hundreds of chemicals that could cause irritation.If using tampons over safer options like pads or cups it's important to only use them during your period, change regularly, do not use with light flow or overnight, also alternate with pads to allow your vagina a chance to heal and clean itself after tampon use. Ideally use organic cotton tampons.
