This is crazy weird and i'm embarased to even write it but...i took out a tampon recently and two came out!! I don't remember putting one in and not taking it out - so now i'm wondering how long that tampon was in - and if i need to go to the doctor. could i have an issue if that tampon was in for a long time? ↓

please go to the doctor. there are definitely problems associated with having a tampon in for long periods of time and some of the results are not pretty. ↑

the major issue that i know of is toxic shock syndrome. it happens when a tampon has been in much too long and it can be serious - go to the doc to get it checked out ↑

right babygoodwin. toxic shock is a staph infection which can kill you. there is also a strep infection that can be caused by them so it isnt anything to fool with ↑
