omg i'm freaking out! i don't know if it's because i got myself scared or what, but here's the problem, i'm scared if i left a tampon in! and that means, i'd have two in right now!!! is there signs to know for sure? because, if there is two in me, it's only been in since yesterday... but still i'm really scared. and i'm trying to think if i took it out yesterday, but i just can't seem to remember!!! and today, when i put one in, it kinda hurt, so i'm wondering... what if i forgot to take one out yesterday? and i used one last night (after the one i might've left in) i know for a fact that i took that one out but nothing felt weird when i was wearing it... PLEASE HELP

Take out the one you last put in, and instead wear a pad, if you did leave one in before that, then it should start sliding out a bit if it's absorbed way too much. You should be able to push it out a bit.
If you in fact have two tampons in, or at least have one in there that you can't get out, I suggest telling your mom.

There's nowhere for a tampon to get lost in your body. So, take a deep breath and have a check to see if you can feel anything. If you do, simply pull it out.
If you can't feel anything and you're still convinced one might be inside you, you may have to take a trip to A+E and let them see to it. Forget thinking it's embarrassing - your health is more important, because if a tampon is left in for a long period of time, you're more likely to contract TSS and left untreated, can be fatal. Not trying to scare you, but it really is important to be 100% safe and sure you aren't leaving tampons inside you. Good luck. [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]
