How to avoid toxic shock syndrome

Wearing the same tampon for an extended amount of time could lead to a rare, but sometimes deadly disease called toxic shock syndrome (TSS).
#Always follow the instructions in the package on inserting and using the product.
#Use the lowest absorbency tampons that will work for you.
#Change your tampon every four to eight hours; never leave one in longer than that.
#Consider switching between tampons and pads.
#Only use tampons when you have your period, never between cycles.
