Well, it is my understanding that you should change more often when experiencing heavier flow, so this will certainly vary from woman to woman - which is why the answer below of 1-2 hours is not really correct. I've been told for many years that the maximum time is 8 hours, as a good guideline, but if you are having heavy flow, change it more often. You can probably "feel" when you need to change it out. Try different levels of absorbency, as well. Hope this helps!

Well, you're only supposed to wear tampons for about 1 or 2 hours. This to make sure you don't get the deadly Toxic shock syndrome. This happens when bacteria from your period blood gets on the tampon. If the bacteria is left there too long, it may go into your bloodstream, and that bacteria, if left untreated, could kill you.
You need to weAR A tampon. Or if your not sure if a tampon will protect you fully, wear a panty liner.

I wouldn't recommend a tampon because of the risk of infection. However, using a menstrual cup should be fine!
Yes, you can wear a tampon to the water park as long as your flow is heavy enough for a tampon. You can also wear options such as menstrual cups and softcups, these can be worn even with light flow and for up to 12 hours so a much better option. If you do wear tampons be sure to time it so you can insert a fresh tampon just before going in the water, and you may need to insert a fresh tampon when you get out.
