I am 19 years old and I just recently started using tampons -yeah i'm slow-; It doesn't hurt me or anything but I was googling information about them and I saw there are loads of people who are paranoid because they can't remember if they took it off and they think they have it inside them.
Has this ever happened to you?
Thanks

I accidentally forgot one was in and put another one in when I was like 13, I noticed immediately (the first tampon hit my cervix, which is a pretty obvious sign, so it ended up fine. It's only happened that one time.
If you do have times where you're not sure if you put a tampon in, it's easy to check. Usually, the little string on the end of the tampon will hang out. If the tampon got repositioned or put in incorrectly so that it doesn't, though, you can still get it out. The human vagina is only about 3 inches long when unaroused and lengthens to about 4 inches when aroused. If you think you've put a tampon in but there's no string, put your fingers in your vagina and feel for it (I know, it's kind of gross, but fingers are totally washable). If you can touch your cervix and don't find anything, there's no tampon in there.
its not physically possible to lose one inside you, there's nowhere for it to go.
Well, it takes a while to get used to using them but you'll get the hang of it. And if you don't feel like using them, it's fine. They're not for everyone and some women go all through their lives (until meno-pause anyway) without using tampons.
haha well i used to be like that, hey im 19 and since last year i wasnt using them because when i was 13 i actually tried and it hurt and i chickened out and thought i just couldnt put it in, but then last year i tried again and to be honest it wasnt super easy but now i realise its way easier and cleaner and i just love it! and love being able to swim too. i hated that...
Yeah; for me, I had a hard time finding my vagina and just getting it in, but after a while it, became easier and easier, and now it's no big deal for me.
You know I find it funny you put "I am a man option" On this. Good thinking on that OP. LOL so no men would mess up your poll. I wish we could thumb up posts. I want to give you a big +.
Lost, no. Forgot til the next day cus I was drunk, yes. It was a long time ago, ok?!
I accidentally left one in for a day, thinking I had removed it the night before.
Well you certainly can't lose anything up there, as everyone else has said.
But I did read a story on reddit a few weeks ago about a girl who had forgotten she had a tampon in, and she ended up going to the doctor and they found it way stuck up there. O.o
I forgot i had one in me and grabbed a tampon and shoved one up there i had two in me for like a good hour and when i went pee i pulled it out and saw a second string hanging and out popped another. At that point i realised why i was in so much pain... I was really tired and in a rush don't judge me
My cousin stuck a tampon up her babies ass but we don't know what happened to it..
I forgot to take one out once, years ago when I was suffering post natal depression & lack of sleep because of a sickly baby. I went to the doctor with a very smelly discharge after about a week, and the doctor found it - I was so embarrassed I cried & cried.
It's true a tampon can't get "lost" beyond the cervix but you can lose things into the body via the anus - ask any emergency department nurse or doctor.
Honestly, its happened to me...
I was drunk (lets just say really drunk) n I forgot I had 1 in already so I proceeded to put another one in. I took the new one out later that night and had sex. Lets just say my man is above average... so it must have got lodged in my vag lmao. I dont really remember feeling pain, or discomfort.
About 3 or days later I could smell a foul odor and began to think about my previous actions......
5 days later at work I was going to the bathroom when I could hardly get past the horrible smell. I had a strange feeling in my V & decided to put my finger up there to see if I could feel anything. At first, no, but after a few seconds I quickly felt what had been stuck in my cooter for nearly a week!! It was horrible... and painful. I used 2 fingers to grab it and I soon learned the week old tampon was the worst smelling thing to discover. Lmao
Im not kidding bout any of this.
I was so so so lucky to not die from TSS. (Toxic shock syndrome) and my best friend didnt even believe me when I told her this story, but she realized that's why I must've been exhausted, feeling like shit, and not feeling like myself. I hope nobody ever has to go through any of this! It was crazy... but it should teach ya a lesson to ya gals out there. Anything is possible. This is a 100% real story. And I could have died.
Yall can judge me n say how could I not know I had a tampon stuck in me? But in all honesty its not something ya think youll ever do, so thats probably more of the reason why I didnt think about it sooner. And im sure when I had sex it conformed to the shape of my V... I just wanted to share this story to let ya know this is possible!
If you understood a female's anatomy, you would know that's impossible for a tampon to get lost inside of you. Unless, for whatever reason, your cervix is gaping wide open.
I find tampons annoying. Sometimes when you don't put them in far enough you can feel them pretty well. I'm a pad person. Plus I have a friens who went a coma from the toxic syndrom thing. xP However, losing a tampon up there is not unheard of, but it sounds silly to me. You sounds like you're all freaked out about the losing tampon thing, so I doubt you'll forget
Why not just use a pad? It sounds less dangerous. I heard of women going to hospital for this kind of thing.
Why is that? You are still bleeding? I think that is disgusting already.
Yeah thanks I know it's so disgusting haha. But you will be seeing the blood every time you go to the bathroom, and you won't be seeing it if you use a tampon. Don't you think that's better?
Nope. I've heard a lot of people say that they're worried about this, but I'm more worried about it falling out... o.0
