Cycle of research and development. Research and development (R&D or R+D), also known in Europe as research and technical (or technological) development (RTD), is a general term for activities in connection with corporate or governmental innovation.

Can I leave a tampon in overnight? Like all tampons in Australia, our U by Kotex tampons can be used for up to 8 hours, but not any longer. So, while it IS possible to wear a tampon overnight, we know that everyone has different absorbency needs, as well as different sleep patterns (letâs face it, we all like a sleep in sometimes!).
If you use tampons during your periods, aim for wearing a tampon that is saturated and needs changing every 3 to 5 hours. 1  Make sure you change them at least every 4 to 8 hours to help prevent a rare but potentially fatal disease called toxic shock syndrome (TSS).
