    I think they were asking why doesn’t everyone just use the heaviest flow ones all the time, just to be on the safe side — like are they less comfortable than the lighter flow ones for example?

      Removing a tampon that isn’t sufficiently soaked is pretty uncomfortable because it irritates the vagina. You also should change the tampon every few hours to avoid toxic shock symptom. If the tampon is too big, it won’t be soaked enough and very uncomfortable to remove.
