The chance of you developing TSS is very rare. The main reason one would develop TSS is if she doesn't change the tampon often enough. Even if your periods are very light, you must change the tampons regularly! Try to to wear it for more than 4 hours just because you feel like you are "wasting" them....this is where the TSS comes into play. It is quite okay to leave one in overnight (8 hours or so), but other than that, be sure to change often. If you follow this, you should have no problems and not worry about TSS. Hope this helps.
