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.
Use a tampon with the right absorbency for your flow. It's best to use tampons with a lower absorbency than you need. Start with a regular tampon. If you find that you have to change it more often than every four hours, then you should switch to a tampon with higher absorbency.
