the chances of developing TSS is very rare. if you just follow instructions on the box of tampons, you should not worry about TSS.

hi everyone! i have a friend who is sexually active. she's been having sex even if she has her period. to avoid mess, she's been using tampons while having sex and to avoid pregnancy as well. is she at risk for TSS?

i knew someone who's doing this too. she's been using sponges or soft tampons. i wonder how it prevents pregnancy.

toxic shock syndrome is a very rare illness, but it can be fatal. so i adviced not to use it while having sex at the same time. very dangerous.
