Tampons!

I don't mean to be graphic...but has anyone ever forgot a tampon was in and put another one in. I don't remember if I took out the first one before I put the second one in (I was in a rush). There was a slight discomfort but that happens to me sometimes. I took the one tampon I know was in out and it is the end of my period so there is only a slight amount of blood. Would blood still be coming out if there was one stuck in there? Should I try and put my finger up there to see if I can feel it? Would having sex maybe be a good way for me to tell if there is one up there or would that just push it up without me noticing? Any help would be great!!! Thanks in advance...

PLEASE...do whatever you need to do to find out if there is still one in there and get it out! I did that once, and got Toxic Shock Syndrome from the one that was pushed way up into my vagina.

Do whatever you've got to do, but don't risk your health!

Well, OF COURSE you check inside yourself, and as the other poster said, if there's one there, you could get Toxic Shock Syndrome, which COULD be fatal! Why in the world would you even hesitate about checking it?

Have sex with the possibility of a funky tampon in your vagina? That would definitely NOT make sense!

Check and make sure it's GONE!

You feel inside and see if it's there, why haven't you felt around already?

NOT TO BE MEAN, BUT DONT U READ THE BOX, TAMPONS CANT GET STUCK IN YOU. JUST REACH UP THERE IF YOU DONT BELIEVE ME, YOU AINT FINDIN ONE, AND IF YOU DO, YOU CAN SUE TAMPAX FOR LYING ON THEIR INSTRUCTION SHEET.

no dont try and have sex that is a big no-no
fi there was a tampon in there when you stuck the second one in you wouldnt have even got it in because there would of been something blocking it so im thinking that you did take it out but because like you said you were in a rush you forgot that it was out
if it was still in there though you would end up with TSS (toxic shock syndrome) which is very harmful and can in some cases kill you
