How long should you wear a tampon?
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!
Answer
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.

Why do girls now begin to menstruate earlier than they used to?
Well, puberty is when the body begins to mature. One aspect of a girl's body being mature (and this is similar in a male's body, too) is that of being able to reproduce. This, for a girl, is when she menstruates. During and after puberty, a girl is able to reproduce and will have her period. Before puberty, a girl has an un-mature body that cannot yet reproduce, and thus she does not menstruate.
