Lie down on your bed and bear down,like you are trying to move your bowels.You should be able to find the tampon inside you now.If you cannot-go to the emergency room(seriously!)and they will retrieve it.Do not let it stay in there-you will get a nasty infection!Good luck to you.Patty

Yeah, if you cant get it out, you gotta go to the er!

If you leave it in there you cant get an infection, or even tss which can be fatal!
