Warning about Tampon Loss!

I just wanted to post a most embarrassing event ...I was using "ob" brand tampons....and after my period experienced a foul odor/discharge. Well, I just returned from my doctor where I found out that not one but TWO were stuck inside of me! As it turns out, ob tampons are so small, they can turn and the cord will get lost. I guess whie I was switching between tampons and pads during my period, when the cord couldn't be seen, I thought I pulled the tampons out. Needless to say, I think I even grossed out my doctor.

Just a warning to be careful! I usually am myself, that is why this is so odd.

Thanks for sharing that! There have been several women here who have experienced this same situation!

I'm glad it turned out okay for you.
