Toxic Shock Syndrome is always a tiny risk when using tampons, though this risk increases if you leave the tampon in for longer than you're supposed to. The general consensus is that around 8 hours is the longest you should leave a tampon in for. Toxic Shock Syndrome can come from leaving your tampon in a lot longer than this. Some ways to protect yourself would be: - Make sure you are keeping track of how long you have your tampon in, i.e. make sure it isn't TOO long. - If your period is light enough, think about using more pads rather than tampons. - Consider switching away from tampons altogether, whether to pads or even to menstrual cups, which are made of silicone and do not expose you to TSS.

Women under 29 are at the greatest risk of TSS because they don't yet have the antibodies to fight staphylococcus aureus bacteria.

My daughter died of TSS and she was using regular absorbency in a 'name brand' which contained viscose rayon, the primary influence of TSS these days.
