How to Tell If Tampon Still In
Posted: 08-02-07 14:22pm

not sure but i think i have left a tampon in 3 days ago, the string was really short and i think its gone up inside i couldnt remember the next day if i did put one in or not as i was abit drunk!, couldnt find the string the next day so i presumed i didnt, but i have a bit of tummy ache and it just feels odd to me down there inside, without being to graphic i cannot find anything, is there any way else left to check, i dont want to go drs and waste there time if there is nothing there!

Well, you should be able to reach in and feel it. Can you feel all the way to your cervix? (that is the end and it pokes into your vagina a little) if you can, then there is no way there is a tampon in there.... they can't go past your cervix.

If you can't feel that far, can you peek with a mirror? If you try these and still think it might be up there, go to a doc. But I never lost one... I can always reach in and feel them.

Good luck

Oy. That sucks.

Crouch down, like spread your legs and crouch down to the floor. Poke around in there, you should be able to feel it if it's there.

Yep, crouch down, on the bathroom floor, and push! Yes, you can push... and while pushing, feel inside for your cervix.

Yeah, if you think it's in there you should go to a doc because it can be dangerous-- for tss and infections...
