practicing abstinence
|
|

|
|
|
changing tampons often

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Change tampons regularly (at least every four hours). Avoid using super-absorbent tampons. Only unwrap the tampon if you are going to use it immediately.
Detailed explanation-2: -Toxic shock syndrome is still mostly a disease of menstruating women who use tampons. But it has also been linked to the use of menstrual sponges, diaphragms, and cervical caps. A woman who has recently given birth also has a higher chance of getting toxic shock.
Detailed explanation-3: -To err on the side of caution, remove a tampon after 4 to 6 hours, but no longer than 8 hours. After 8 hours, your risk of developing TSS-along with other infections or irritations-increases.
