Can sleeping with a plug / dildo in towards the end of your period cause Toxic Shock Syndrome?

(Flagging this post as 'NSFW' since it deals with direct explicit body talk)

Hello! This may be a weirdly specific question, but I sometimes like to leave dildos / plugs in while I sleep as a bit of comfy lazy fun and remove them in the morning. Would doing this on the tail-end of a period (as in no longer actively bleeding, but just the last day or two of symptoms / remaining cycle with maybe residual blood remaining inside at most) pose any risk for Toxic Shock Syndrome or something similar?

I know it a. it's probably not a good idea to do it while actively bleeding, b. TSS can caused by anything (not just periods) and c. that it's mainly just via very absorbent surfaces (tampons, sponges, etc.) that do cause problems when it's period related, but I just wonder if silicone dildos / plugs would still pose a risk for whatever reason?

At most I was just thinking this may be a way to relieve the 'insanely horny during end of period' situation, but if there's any risk than I'll just manage the 2 days or so and deal with it after, lol.
