One of my teaches told our class that if you leave a tam pon in over night you'll have to get it surgically removed. is this true?

No: A tampon can be worn for 8 hours overnight and removed normally. Do not use a tampon for more than 8 hours during the day or night. Longer usage can cause toxic shock syndrome.

No: you can leave a tampon in 8 hours, If longer you run risk of infection, You can pull it out yourself even if over 8 hours.
