Tampons should be changed every 4-6 hours - some tampon companies  say 8 hours to make their products seem more convenient, but that's  too long to wear a tampon and if you â¦can go that long without  leaking you're using too high an absorbency.
1 Use the tampon with the lowest absorbency you need, e.g. don't use a bigger or more absorbent tampon for a small blood flow. 2  Change your tampon at least every four to eight hours. 3  Avoid using tampons overnight when sleeping.
