What are the first signs of a tampon being stuck inside you? for some reason i can't remeber taking my last tampon out tonight. A few hours ago i had a pain in my lower abdomen. I'm a little weird about putting my own fingers up there! i have a pad on now and havent seen any blood in a little while, any advice?? Shocked

Signs of a tampon left inside

its not good to leave a tampon inside for any length of time because of the risk of toxic shock syndrome.
if you feel unabe to feel for it yourself, do you have partner, or some one else you trust to look for you. if not its a visit to the doctors to be ok

if you can stick a foreign body up your vagina whats so bad about your own fingers?

you shouldnt have to go to deep inside to be able to tell either...the string will be right there to pull on...
