This is sort of a Personal question... I have started wearing tampons instead of pads about 4 periods ago because I'm in sports. So yesterday when I went to "change" I didn't feel the string. I tried looking for it myself but I don't feel anything. I don't really know what to do know. The blood isn't comeing out lyk it did all the other times,and I can't ask my mom for much help since I know she didn't want me wearing tampons to begin with.what do you suggest I do?

Here is how to remove a "stuck/lost" tampon - How to Remove a Stuck Tampon | eHow.com

It can be very dangerous and you can develop toxic shock if time goes on. If all else fails you need to see a Physician. Toxic Shock Syndrome

Again - this can be dangerous.

You may very well have to tell your mother. Why doesn't she want you to use tampons?

My mother thinks it "devirginies" you... thank you for answering my question:)

I have to smile - your mother and my grandmother. Thanks for putting a smile on my face.

Good luck - come back if you have any other problems. You'll be a welcome addition to the "usual" cast of characters!

Supper sorry to botheer but I have another question. How long could it be OK for a tampon do stay in? What if I can't go to my doctor until Monday?. should I go to like the emergany room or something? Or will I be OK until Monday?

Should blood still come out if you have a tampon stuck inside?

It's possible to "leak" through a tampon if it's saturated. How long has it been "stuck?"

You can't feel it?

A tampon shouldn't be inserted for more than 8 hours. Go to the ER. This cannot wait until Monday.
