With every tampon you are at more risk for that Toximia (sp?).
But more importantly, you arent allowing your lining to shed. You need
to release clotts and by wearing tampons all the time, you arent
allowing those clotts to release. Clott buildup can block your tubes
and cause other problems.
Lastly, an egg cant attach to a dead lining. By not shedding, its
building up and pregnancy will be harder to occur then if you allowed
the shedding.
