Have you ever forgotten to remove a tampon?

Question

Answer

No I've never left one in, I always change or remove the next time I go toilet. If it's a really heavy flow il keep one in overnight, I know they say you shouldn't do that but I feel more protected

Answer

Set a reminder in your phone!

Answer

I forgot once, ONCE! And I got so bloody sick I vowed never again. So now, if I don't remember exactly when I put the last one in I change it. If it's a heavy flow, I change every three hours instead of my regular four. One period it was every two hours and at that point I just switched back to pads because that's not healthy either. TSS: happens more than people think. And I'm over caustious, so even going a few hours over is dangerous.

Answer

Yes I'm ADHD and I forgot but luckily I caught it when I got home from work.  It's very dangerous to leave them in if you are a very busy person and tend to forget you may want to use sanitary napkins. .

Answer

I've never forgotten to remove a tampon however since I'm in the medical field I have seen many women that have left/forgotten tampons.

Answer

It happened to me once. I had lost the string and forgotten about it. Almost a week later I discovered it after I had a rash all over my body and couldn't figure out why. It was the beginnings of TSS.

This is why I wouldn't want to use a tampon!! Lol

Answer

I knew a girl in college who partied way too much. She had drunk sex with a friend (who was on ecstasy) and didn't remove the tampon. 
She felt sick the whole week but she thought it had been the party and a combo of the drugs shed been doing. Obviously she didn't want to go to the doctor because she had been on a lot of things. Turns out when she had sex he had shoved the tampon deep in. She was fine but her chance of TSS was huge. She was lucky
It happens more than you'd think!

Answer

Answer

I've heard some horror stories...like my girlfriend who went out one night and came home late and fell right asleep and forgot about her tampon until about days later when se started smelling something!! She went to the gyno and they took it out for her because she couldn't find the string!
