Itching and irritation are most commonly a result of a yeast infection.

You naturally have yeast within the vagina, but an acidic pH allows healthy bacteria to thrive which produce hydrogen peroxide that keep yeast under control - during menstruation the menstrual flow changes vaginal pH which in turn can change bacteria and allow yeast growth. If you use products like commercial pads these prevent air-flow making the area more favorable to yeast growth.

I am on a light to regular period but i accidentally used a Super the heaviest tampon going for 7 and a half hours is this okay and will i get toxic shock syndrome?

You should be fine but I wouldn't make a habit of it. It seems to be the more often you do it, the greater your chances. "In general, use the lightest-absorbency tampon you can and change it often -- at least every four to eight hours. Or use pads. Actually, switching between tampons and pads is a good idea. And at night, pads are the way to go. Toxic shock syndrome, although rare (1 out of every 100,000 women), is a serious disease. The symptoms of TSS are a sudden high fever, vomiting, diarrhea, fainting, a rash that looks like sunburn, dizziness and muscle aches. If you experience any of these symptoms, take out your tampon and call your doctor immediately." http:/www.kotex.com/na/Search.aspx?search=toxic+shock
