The chance on TSS is extremely low. You get TSS if you leave it in for more than 8 hours or use the wrong size of tampon (you're using a Super when you should be using a Light). Other than that tampons are relatively safe. It is recommended you switch off between pads and tampons to lower your chances even further.
What I recommend is use a tampon for 6-8 hours, then switch to a pad. Just try it, read the instructions. Trust me, it is a lot easier.
Afraid of using tampons because of all the TSS stories.HELP!
