Her foster mom wasn’t completely wrong; if you leave a tampon in for too long, there is a risk of septic shock and there are people who have died from that, though the numbers are very small. But Flora is also right since it’s just a matter of remembering to change it out when you need to.
I was gonna say! Toxic Shock Syndrome is not an old wives’ tale! Definitely not as prevalent as they made it seem during sex ed class back in school but still real. In the US they’re even classified as class II medical devices which means there are “moderate to high risks”. And they don’t even require companies to inform consumers of the presence of chemicals except in a few states who have taken the lead. I switched to a menstrual cup a while back and haven’t looked back (great for the wallet too!)

That, and not sleeping with it inside one’s body for more than 8 hours, hence why Flora said it’s until bedtime.
