What is toxic shock syndrome?

Caused by having a tampon in for more than 8 hours, or having the menstrual blood from you pad touching the vagina to long. IT COULD BE DEADLY, however VERY RARE. And squatting on the toilet would work and slide it in at a 45 degree angle

it is a bacterial infection, from bacteria that is already present in your own body and over half of all new cases have nothing to do with tampons and come about in hospital settings where packing has been used such as burn victims when bacteria grows on the packing and invades the blood stream. Jin Henson the creator of muppets died of toxic shock which had nothing to do with tampons.what happens is you would die if you do not seek immediate medical help and sometimes even then

How you insert a tampon is to follow the instructions on the box

If you're asking questions like this, you're clearly not ready to be using tampons. You don't know the risks and such if you leave it in too long or forget. Hell, you don't even know how to put one in. Just google whatever it is you're looking for smh
