    Default Lost Tampon

    Become a member to remove this ad.
    So I'm on my period, right and last night I walked into the bathroom to go change my tampon. When I went to take the old one out I couldn't find the string. I wasn't really worried at first, I was using one of those obs and I figured when I put it in, I was just in such a hurry that I forgot to pull the string down. Well I went in manually to find it, but still nothing. Hmmm...well thats weird, I thought. I tried again and still nothing. So I decided to ask my boyfriend to check. He was like, "This is weird". He said my v-zone looked totally different then any other time considering the circumstances. All I could do was laugh at him and the situation and told him to just go for it. He was very hesitant so he put a condom on his finger to 'protect' his hand from a bloody mess. Poor guy, the things I put him through sometimes. Anyways he made his way in and did his little search but still nothing. Ooops...maybe I didn't even put one in. All that worry for nothing. Of course the weird thing was I didn't thing my period was getting that light because it had been about 2-3 hours and no blood. It was only the 3 day so I was still trying to replay my last trip to the bathroom in my head to remember if I had remembered to put one in or not. Either way I'm fine, my boyfriend is a little creeped out but he'll be fine. My friend had a similar situation a few years back and she was told to take a hot bath and if there is one there it should come right out. So thats what I'm about to do right now, just for one more check. If any of you ladies have funny stories about this kinda stuff feel free to share.

    ewww...sorry but I Couldn't blame him...yuck I find it so gross when women think talking openly about their period to a man (besides a doctor) is OK. I'm sorry hun your story just took the cake

    Uh...why? If a man is willing to get intimate with me, he's sure going to hear about my period. It's natural, it's happens to OVER half of the entire world, and yet somehow, it's too icky to talk to your lover about? lol Weird, never heard that one before. At least not from someone under the age of 60.

    OP, don't feel bad. It happened to my sister. She did the bath thing, and it didn't come out right away, but the water expanded it and she could feel it and knew how far in it was. And my BF puts in my nuvaring, so you guys can't be that weird...unless me and my BF are, too. haha

    Nope, my fiance hears about my period (or if somethings wrong), but I don't gab on about it like he's another girl!! I just think it's very un-lady like to force a man into touching your bloody vagina sorry, I must be 60 years old...*shrug*

    From a guys' perspective, there's nothing gross about it. I have been married for 22 years and I know all sorts of things about my wife's body. I have inserted tampons, seen the best and worst of her and understand as a mature male that I might have to take care of her someday. What would I do if she was disabled and I had put a tampon in her vagina (or thought I did) and I couldn't find it later? Go looking for it.

    In my opinion, cheers to the ladies here who keep their s/o's informed as to what's going on with their bodies. Knowledge is power. It's good to know as much as you can about your s/o's body.

    Cheers ladies!

    Call me old fashioned...sorry but that's just me. But I WAS NOT saying Brent DOES NOT hear about whats going on with my body! He buys my pads for me and we even tried sex on my period...he liked it, I did not...it hurt!

    I don't get it with people today, they bash me and call me this "ewwww" type girl!! I am not! Heck, I can stand alot more things than my fiance can!! I just wouldn't FORCE him to stick his finger in there if he didn't want to...which he said he was fine with, but the OPs poor BF DIDN'T want to so I see it sick to force him!!

    But laughing and joking about it like you would with your girlfriends, just is too far in my books, I mean it's not a crime or anything but not EVERY guy wants to....sorry it's my belief and I have a right to believe what I Want!

    I dont think that there is a problem with your man helping you out in that department. Or atleast there shouldn't be. If it can save you a pricy doctor bill I say go for it. I have a similar situation with looking for my IUD strings. Your supposed to check for them often, if I cant find them my boyfriend is more than willing to help me look.

    Haha one time I totally forgot I was wearing a tampon.
    And no I am not blonde! Just kiddin'. But not really - seriously I'm brunette.
    ANYYWAY yeah well I used to use those o.b. tampons and I could feel it when it was full like I really had to wear a pantyliner cuz when it was full it would be a'comin. But I got sick of getting my finger all messy so I switched to Tampax Pearl with their fancy applicators - very nice. Just a little too nice because like I said I forgot I was even wearing one! After like 4 hours it prolly was. So I tried to put another in. Heh. [The string was hiding so that didn't remind me.] And I get it in a little but then it won't budge .. I'm like well this is odd. So I try to push it in further and then it dawns on me - um there's still one in there hun. xP
    After feeling and glad I didn't have to freak out by not being able to find the string [luckily it was within reach] I got it outta there.

    I probably shouldn't be sharing this, it's my sister's personal information and an embarrasing story but not really something that would damage her reputation and anyway I'm using an anonymous name on here....

    One night when my sister and I were 18 (we're fraternal twins), she came home really late, our parents were already in bed, and i think so was I, or else I was getting ready for bed, and she came and knocked on my door and got me...we went to her room and she said she had just lost her virginity, and nervously she said that she can't get her tampon out...

    well I guess she had gone swimming with her first (and probably most major even since then-he's broken her heart several times, but that's another story) love at a pool party and was having her period so of course was wearing a tampon. And I guess after they got out of the pool, at some point they were alone, and she must have gotten so caught up in the moment and completely forgot that she had a tampon up there.

    So basically the "act of love" pushed the tampon up further in there and when she remembered later and tried to get it out, she couldn't find the string. We had to go to the ER. I didn't drive (and still don't) so sadly she had to drive herself late late at night (she didn't want to tell our mom) but I went for emotional support even though she didn't even ask me to help her fill out the paper work or anything.

    I went with her into the room with her and the doctor went in there and got it out pretty easy. I asked him about chances of pregnancy cause she was too scared or didn't think of it she was so nervous, and he said, "eh, she was on her period, it's very unlikely, don't worry about it"...which i don't know if that was completely true, but we just took it and didn't worry about it. Or I don't know maybe my sister said they used a condom, I don't remember, or she told me she didn't think the guy had any diseases. Anyway, by the end of the night, our minds were fairly (but not completely) reassured that everything was going to be fine.

    I felt so helpless that I wasn't able to drive or help with paper work or anything, I was such a loser (and still am) and the only thing I was good for was emotional support, but I do happen to be quite good at that, and I think she is still grateful to me for that night, even though we're sisters so it's a given that we do stuff like that for eachother.

    So kinda sucky for your first experience in the "act of love" and then later he broke her heart mercilessly but that's the story. I'll probably never tell it again cause it's too personal and not my story to tell and my sister and I have great trust between us...and even on the net, even though I'm anonymous on other boards, this is probably the only chance I'll ever take with it. I think if I do it again I'll be pushing my luck, so feel honored.
