A week? I freak out if I realize I overslept in one.
Right?
That's why I Don't use it!!! And it's uncomfortable
That is why I use pads instead of tampons 🙂
Dude for real or if I take a piss I am like I am going to get a UTI time to change lol no one likes a wet string sticking to your leg haha
Stopped using tampons years ago! 😂
This is exactly why we shouldn't be embarrassed to speak to our daughters.
Ok
Period
Pun not exactly intended😂
if you need to talk to someone about it, you're just a door of stupidity
@@cortneypayton6473
Or is it........
@@cortneypayton6473 I love this 😂
Um if a girl doesn’t know you have to take your tampon out after a short period of time that girl is an idiot. There are literally directions ON THE BOX AND THE TAMPON.
I can say from working in the ob-gyn field, this is the worse smell I have ever experienced. A woman thought her hubby was having an affair and she had an STD. NOPE it was 2 tampons she had left in there over 1 month. When they were removed and put in a red bag, the room was sprayed with disinfectant and left closed for hours. No STD.
😮😮🤢🤢🤮🤮
Holy shit
How didn't she get a bloodinfection?
@@lakka1148 exactly! How tf was she still alive?!!!
oh my god
😱😱😨😨🤢🤢😵😵 how...how do you not notice!!!! Not just 1 but 2!!!!
Tip for all of the nurses, CNAs, doctors etc that can't get past certain odors: Peppermint oil on the inside of your mask works wonders. Just a small drop.
Or chew a Mintie. Same premise but more yummy
I use vicks😂
Clove oil is another
Toothpaste between 2 masks
Vicks Vicks Vicks Vicks......
I had an ER shift (normally worked in the psych ward), a woman came in...the smell she emitted was indescribable... long story short, she had a tampon stuck for 6 MONTHS! She had completely forgotten and was at the ER for a stomachache. How she didnt notice the smell and how someone didnt mention the smell to her, is beyond me. I wasnt her nurse but couldnt imagine how bad the stench had been once clothing etc had been removed....the coworker who had her as a patient, politely excused herself after the discovery and proceeded to vomit in the bathroom for about 20 mins.
oh ow, I can't believe she didn't have TSS
That is bonkers!!
Yeah coworker is never getting that picture out of her head. Rip
A senile olderly woman?
@Nela Elderly people do not use tampons. Menopause eliminates the need.
The you don't say had so much emotion ranging from "I'm not paid enough for this to and you sure it's not stuck in your brain"🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@muffinhead2032 Also a film reference. Layers upon layers, buddy.
Sometimes, I feel like one big DadJoke stuck in a woman's body. I wonder if I could transition into a DadJoke? Get myself some nice hemmed, stonewashed Jorts, grow a 90s Dad 'stache, get a feathered mullet, roll around in one of those colourful beanies with the propeller on top, and a t-shirt that says "PULL MY FINGER"?
I mean, basically transition into a man, but a very specific caricature of one.
Then again .... I don't even really have to get surgery or take T to do that, do I? Not when there are so many people who really have gender dismorphia, and suffer with it horribly, in long-as-fuck waitlists for surgery. That's not fun for anyone.
My titties are small enough to ace down, I could give myself a bitchin' haircut, then save my leftover hair to fashion into thick, luxurious moustaches, enough for at least a decade. The outfit can be easily thrifted. I could truly live this DadJoke dream if I really wanted to .....
A whole new world just opened up in front of my eyes.
@@imaginepithynamehere4257 👁👄👁
Yup… I remember those days lol . I was always baffled that their husbands or boyfriends would still have sex with them in that condition instead of trying to help them take it out. Spoke volumes about what kind of men they have in their lives
So True !😢😢😢
Adducing they even told them or it’s was low enough for them to feel. A lot of men belong to the little 🍆 club.
That or they're BOTH very uneducated and think it's fine.
How would you even have sex if it's literally in their??
@@andeehiggs3170short pole or deep hole
When I was on OB/Gyn rotations I saw a teenager who came with about 8 tampons stuck. Her super conservative parents never taught her about tampon hygiene so she thought she could leave them in and just keep adding more every period🤷🏻♀️. I’m shocked she didn’t get an infection. Education and conversation about period hygiene is important!!
How was it removed? :( Did it needed an operation???
@@nilanjasa007 most likely, no. But depending on how deep they were, maybe.
How do you even get 8 in there
Why weren't they taught proper tampon hygiene in health class at school?
@@lucifiaofthefreecouncil1312 Probably because Jesus and stuff.
I once got a tampon stuck…I was in junior high, I freaked out, called my sister, she then called my dad (my mother had died a couple years before this and I lived with him) he then called an on call nurse, I was in the bathroom, he was on the other side of the door, with the help of the nurse, my father relaying the information to me, I was able to get it out. I was humiliated but relieved…but now when I look back, I’m so thankful that 1) I knew immediately when I couldn’t remove it, that I was in trouble, and didn’t wait out of the embarrassment I felt. 2) that my father was such an amazing and loving person. It HAD to be just as uncomfortable for him. After it was all done, he just hugged me and told me everything was okay ❤️
What a great dad❤️
Love your story , love your Dad!
What a great dad!
Good for you I’m so glad you have such a great sister and dad that you were comfortable enough to call her and she could talk to your dad and he could figure out how to get you the help you needed all in a timely fashion!! More families should be so loving ❤️
I’m so happy all went well, and your dad sounds great!
I heard from a nurse that when it's been in there for awhile it kind of....develops its own little ecosystem and when it comes out it's unrecognizable. I can't un-know that and now neither can you.
😭😭😭😭 I didn’t need to know that Justine!!!
I picture it looking like the science project in the fridge with the fuzzies on it
@@PHEONIXFLAMES555 LMAO neither did I! I had this conversation a decade ago and it still haunts me 😂
The word “unrecognizable” here is haunting
Thanks soooo much for this.....little gem of info🤢
😭😂😂 the “ huh” after they said a week is something every medical professional has done.
It's short for "hell, us humans"
I've never used a tampon before. This just confirms that I'm doing fine with pads and don't need to change systems.
Tampons don’t normally get stuck. Most things can’t get stuck. You can easily reach in yourself and pull it out.
Pads are fine but keeping a tampon in for a week will cause toxic shock syndrome and you will die if not treated or caught right away.
Nah. This isn't about the tampon. It's about user error from the lowest common denominator. If you don't have the IQ of a rock, you'd be fine.
Tampons don’t usually get stuck. There’s a string. I find them very convenient and comfortable once you get used to them.
Just make sure to learn and nab the absorbency you need. :)
@@WanderingQuill I'm fine with my externalized system.
Don't forget about the toxic shock syndrome. It can happen to people who had a tampon in for too long. You can literally die if you are suffering a toxic shock syndrome and don't see a doctor. Always make sure to change the tampon in time.
That’s exactly why I won’t use them. Given that you’re not supposed to feel them (that’s how you know they’re in the right place, and all), it’s terrifying to think about
i had to stop using them as they were painful and not being gross got stuck was horrible there less messy compact yet not always the best option
@@annegreenwood3624 i tried the cups for the first time and HUGE BLOODY MISTAKE taking them out outside of the shower for the first time since i didnt know how to - also panicking thinking it's stuck lol
Gonna try again, was much more comfortable
@@caljones While this is true in reality you literally need to leave it in for days to get toxic shock and there's the string that's hanging out when you pee so it's kindq difficult to forget tho it does happen.
Your actually more likely to get toxic shock syndrome TSS from your cat box. So don't let that be a reason not to use them.
@@annegreenwood3624 I would say if it hurt you were either using the wrong size, yes there are sizes which no one ever mentions I didn't know at first either, or it wasn't going in far enough. When you insert a tampon and your really dry that can happen. My first time using them that happened and I dealt with it all day because I didn't realize. But after I learned more it never happened again. If you ever want to try again get "regular" or try OB. They are like little bullets so it's easy to make sure they are in far enough. In reality it's the area right around the opening that has nerve endings the rest of the vagina is much less sensitive except for the g spot obviously lol, so if it hurt you didn't get past that area and tampons should be just past that. Anyway you do whatever is best. The discs I hear are great and they empty when you pee! And period panties. But I figured maybe I could share some info. Take care of yourself.
Ladies, as you can see from the comments, this happens in real life. It's nothing to be embarrassed about, we'd much rather be removing a tampon, a condom, anything that gets stuck as soon as you can possibly be seen. The key is to not ever wait this long. If you can't get it out, call your doctor, or go into a clinic where it can be safely removed. Not doing this can lead to infection(s) & significantly increases the risk if developing, (TSS) Toxic Shock Syndrome. Again, please do not be embarrassed when it comes to your health.
Based
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
@@kx7500 verry based indeed
I don't understand how anything can possibly get stuck. You just reach up there and pull it out and bear down a little bit to help those muscles relax. You can even use lube if you're a little dry. Things can't get lost. Your cervix makes that impossible. Are people really so uncomfortable with their own bodies that they would rather go have a stranger pull something out of them rather than use their own fingers to do it? I don't get it lol
@@bunny_0288 Look up "vaginismus". It's a real thing, and can cause serious problems because of entrapment of foreign objects like tampons and condoms. It can also cause painful or even impossible intercourse. It can be treated with a combination of physical therapy and psychotherapy, but most people are either too embarrassed to seek care or don't even realize it's abnormal. It's why I'm glad steveioe posts these videos.
I have seen a case of toxic shock syndrome in the ER. She thankfully arrived before deathly Ill. The MD took one look at her peeling palms and immediately was able to diagnose her
Peeling palms?!?!?!?😱
PEELING PALMS????
Tss is serious, gross shit. Peeling palms ick
yes, everyone replying: peeling. palms.
it is gross.
I'm sorry but what in the actual heck 😢😮. !!! I've not, i- ????
Things like these are why I'm so terrified of tampons. Pads forever!!
I'm 33 years old and started wearing tampons when I was 14. I have NEVER had a tampon get lost or stuck, and I've used thousands of them. Getting lost is impossible because you have a cervix. Your vagina is only so big lol. Even if the string were to break or something, you can literally put some lube on your fingers and reach inside grab it and pull it out. The trick is to relax or even bear down a little bit to help those muscles to relax. I use menstrual cups now and they are amazing, but you definitely have to be really comfortable with your body. But I think that's a good thing. Don't be scared. Tampons are infinitely better than pads in my opinion, although I think menstrual cups are far better than tampons. I swear people are just uneducated about their own bodies and how they work.
@@bunny_0288 I'm sure tampons have a lot of conveniences over regular pads. I just don't feel comfortable with the idea of having something inside of me for hours or the idea of having to reach for something inside of my vagina if it gets a little stuck. Plus, if I'm not a very heavy flow kind of person, I feel that tampons won't be as comfortable to apply. But, to each their own, as long as you know how to use tampons and wear them safely, that's all that matters. I'm thinking of buying period undies in the future, for a more sustainable option.
@@IshbelSoprano I have a super heavy period during two days and then it's super light for the other 3. I've actually graduated to menstrual cups because I bleed straight through tampons so I was having to wear panty liners with tampons. Menstrual cups are amazing. No leaking at all, but definitely very hands on, so not for you lol My sister is like you and has super light periods and she loves period underwear! You should definitely try them. I've thought about getting some for my light days.
@@bunny_0288 obviously it’s possible or there wouldn’t be so many people that have it happen
@@annataymond9529 I'm not saying it's impossible that someone went to the ER, I'm saying it's impossible that it was really necessary. I don't see how you couldn't figure out how to get it out on your own. Maybe they were tensing too much? A vagina is only 4 inches deep. You can reach your cervix which is the back of the vagina with your fingers. All you have to do is reach up there with two clean and lubed up fingers and grab the end of the tampon if you can't find the string,. You relax your muscles and can even bear down a little and then pull it out. You can squat on the bathroom floor to make it easier. It's impossible to disappear into your body. It's still in your vagina. It's a closed area, and you can literally feel your entire vagina with your fingers lol. I just can't see how anyone couldn't figure out how to get it out themselves. I've used thousands of tampons and a menstrual cup. I've had some tampon strings break or couldn't find them. You just go up there and grab it and pull it out. Lube, not panicking, and relaxing down there is all you need. Worst comes to worse, I'd sterilize and lube up some of those skinny plastic salad tongs and use those to pull it out hahaha. I'd rather die than go to the ER for something like that lol
I love the “Ok” at the end. The sign of a true Emergency/Triage Nurse that’s seen WAY too much shit.
When I was younger than couldn’t get one out for 5 minutes and broke down in tears cause I would have to go to the hospital. I got it out on my own. I couldn’t imagine leaving one in for that long 😬
Same!
I always thought that they were supposed to be left in for much longer than 5 Min.
@@jonduggan7433 You leave it in for a couple hours but it should take a few seconds to take it out
I've had the string break on me more than once, and had to go to urgent care to have it removed, which is mortifying, despite them being medical professionals. I finally bought myself a pair of medical forceps, and it saved me the last time a string broke.
@@jonduggan7433 I think she was trying to get it out for 5 minutes, she'd probably had it in for a few hours.
Having worked in a emergency room myself. I can safely say that every skit this guy does really happened at one time or another during his career.
She is so lucky that she didn’t have toxic shock as I have and it’s awful.
I have a terrible fear of getting toxic shock, I’m so sorry that happened to you!
Yeah no, that’s why I do pads, not tampons.
@@sloane.2747 I only wear tampons when I have to (like if I go swimming). I had to wear my first one at a camp where a water activity was required, and I had to ask my roommates (I barely knew them) what to do. Very embarrassing, but it went fine😅

This is exactly why I have open communication with my daughters about literally everything. I never want this to be them. It’s our job as their parents to educate our children about their bodies and some people really dropped the ball 🤦♀️
For real. My parents wouldnt educate me on anything. I know stuff like periods and sex may be hard to talk about with your kid butperiods are a part of womanhood and sex is gonna happen more than likely id rather have parents teach me about how to prevent stds and birth and know theyd help me if i was pregnant than to never know anything.
Me personally i figured out in my intro to early childhood class (took it bc it was common sense stuff lol) that apparently condoms arent even meant to prevent pregnancy and usually fail at that. They wonder why so many highschoolers get pregnant and id say they only used condoms or at least had a lack of information on how not to get pregnant. Anything else i know is stuff i looked up online or got from the “flo” app
@@flameepidemic4839 I’m so glad you mentioned the condoms subject because that was one of the things I explained to her. The only way to 100% not get pregnant is to not have sex. Safe sex is both a condom and being on birth control but even then, things happen. I have a couple friends who have “birth control babies”.
I’m glad you took it upon yourself to get educated but don’t stop learning! Our bodies are amazing creations, the more you know the better 👍🏻
What's so unfortunate, so many kids grow up not being properly educated about anything sex and hygiene related...most times bc the parents are either uneducated themselves or are too embarrassed to speak about intimate things like that. So many times, friends are the ones teaching those kids what their parents hadn't or couldn't bring themselves to. This is the other reason among so many, that it's important you teach your kids the correct info, not just to keep your children safe (which is #1) but it could be keeping your children's friends safe as well. Any parent wouldn't want to see any kid in a situation that could hurt them physically or emotionally/mentally so I know they wouldn't want to see their children's friends in any as well. Growing up is tough, even harder when you don't have the "normal" care/support system many kids do have.
@@samanthamorris1365 you are so right! My daughter has had to help a few of her friends because they had started at school and had no clue what to do, use, or how to use it. I always make sure she has extra supplies as well just in case.
My parents never told me anything my mom only told me about period i learned EVERYTHING from the internet!
my mom works in a drs office and they had a young teenage girl come in who lost one up there for a month and was experiencing an odor. my mom said they couldn’t get the smell out of the office for the entire rest of thr day.
😂 i shouldnt be laughing but that is so disgusting then imagine ur barbie pic saying it
That lady is SO lucky she didn’t get TSS from that
I actually knew someone who got it back in college, and it was terrifying. He obviously got the infection some other way, but it still made me more careful about the products I use!
Agreed! My husband's great aunt died from TSS. I dont how what caused it for her but when products give warnings, they aren't kidding!
@@mkuti-childress3625 Was he ok?
I had an ex girlfriend that worked in a doctor's office and she came home from work one day and told me a very similar story. Except the lady said hers was stuck for about a month and she was having really bad stomach cramps. My ex was in the exam room with the doctor when it was pulled out. She said it was the worst smell ever. They placed it in a ☣️ bag. She ran to the medical waste dumpster outside to get rid of it as fast as she could.
Yikes, how she didn't get toxic shock syndrome is beyond me. Eww.
I'm gonna guess Sara Conner?
I had this happen. I actually forgot I had one in. My husband, "something feels different but I like it".
Once I realized what happened, I went to the walk-in clinic and it hurt a lot when they pulled it out. I got pregnant the next month.
Turns out, I had a tilted uterus. The tampon had gone through my cervix just enough that when it was removed, it put my uterus into the proper position.
Yes, I know, TMI.

But yes.
💡 Quick tip: Leave the clean tampon wrapper on the back of the sink or somewhere else where you will see it as a reminder to remove the tampon later if you are prone to forgetting. You'll lose it stuffing it in your purse, so try to find somewhere you will notice it. Wrap the applicator in toilet paper if needed before tossing it in the trash, but keeping the wrapper can be a helpful reminder. If you use a product without a wrapper, leave yourself a reminder on your phone or a sticky note or something. At the end of your period, always check that you've removed the last tampon. During your bath or shower is a good time to do this, too. Seriously, this video is comedy, but you don't want this to happen to you. Most women freak out if they oversleep an hour or two; this video would be terrifying IRL. Be responsible and take better care of yourself. 🙏 💖
But how can someone forget something stuck on them!!!????
Isn’t it that it has a thread that comes out just hanging? Sorry, I have not used tampon before.
Tape to forehead. Boss will remind if all else fails
Who is so stupid that they don't remember putting a tampon in? They do leak when the are full
This comment is coming from someone who clearly knows nothing about having a period. Yiikes
As a woman, this leaves me shocked, saddened and annoyed.
with who you are anoyed with
It’s very true, and more women need to be aware of proper tampon hygiene.
@@rizzwan-42069 Because it's common sense to *anyone* that a stuck tampon is a reason to immediately go to the hospital not leave it for a week, and it leave a person especially a woman disappointed at the fact that another woman would be this dumb, since its been taught to woman how dangerous that is.
@@vivi9375 sad thing is that this is not explained to all girls and women (boys too should know things like this, even if they don't use tampons they have relatives, friends, girlfriends... they can make the difference in helping someone)
Toxic shocked, one might say
When I was in grad school, working as a hall director in a huge freshman dorm, I saw one of my residents come out the front door supported by two other girls. The told me she had the flu, but I didn’t think so. She looked a lot worse than that. I asked her friends when they got back from taking her to the ER, what had happened. She’d used one of those birth control sponges they sold otc back in the 80s, and it tore. She could not get all of it out. She left it there for several days, and was just a few hours, if that long, from sepsis. She pulled through, but pot girl. They quit selling those sponges, probably because of incidents like that. I’m sure it’s happened with tampons, too. The question I have is why our young women are not vetted educated about their bodies, even all these decades later?
I live in Texas, so that’s more of a rhetorical question.
Texas really likes to keep their women in check, doesn't it?
Toxic shock syndrome. Tampons can cause it too.
@@pinstripesuitandheels Oh, hell, yes. There are a lot of evangelicals in this state, and they’re afraid that if kids are taught about their bodies, and about reproductive responsibility, they’ll learn how to have sex. Or it will make them want to have sex.
They teach abstinence in our school district, or they did. I thought it was disgustingly irresponsible to deny kids necessary information about protecting themselves and their partners, if/when they do have sex. Because if the young woman gets pregnant, however young, the state of Texas is proud to force her to have the child. I hate this state.
Maybe if parents taught their kids this information instead of relying on the government to raise their kids, the kids would have the information they need in a way that the parents can control.
I sure as heck didn't rely on the school system to educate my kids in the human body and sex education, took that responsibility and started young so they understood and wouldn't be ashamed. My boys don't sleep around because they treat women with respect and they know the consequences of doing so.
@@bethmoore7722 I had my first sex ed in school when I was ten. It was taught by a female doctor. Then we had sex ed again at age fourteen. I've only ever had sex with one partner. My parents were taught masturbation was a sin, though. Luckily, my country is no longer a Catholic country.
I had a friend in high school who "lost" her tampon in side. She had to go to the ER to get it removed. It embarrassed her so bad she never used a tampon again.
Was she ok?
@M-J Facts it’s not impossible. Just because it never happened to you doesn’t mean it won’t happen to the billions of other women in the world.
@M-J Facts Most of the time it happens because the personn put another tampon in forgetting they still are one. So the old tampon is pushing inside by the new, it is impossible to remove because the string go completely inside too. And then '' welcome to the ER how can I help you? ''
Well, its not endless tube, its around 8 cm long (but can be stretched if something is inserted), so even hidden or missing string is zero problem. Only when girls are teached that its inappropriate to touch their own body, thats when problem starts… This should be common knowledge
@M-J Facts If the string gets up in there you sure can have trouble getting it out.
I can't be the only one making horrified faces throughout this short

It’s starting to smell cause her body is trying to push it out or deteriorate it and soak it up but that’s exactly how you get toxic shock syndrome and die.

I used to use pads but standing up was the reason I switched to tampons 😅 Got dirty pants a lot like that - heavy flow
Lol rather use tampons bc pads stink. Ever been to a female restroom and smelled something gross? Yeah that's from PADS and if you wear them for hours straight . The smell is noticable. I can always smell when a lady is on her period if she uses pads. Been using tampons for over ten years, no problems. Something to think about hahaha
This is why I'm scared to use them 😀 I'll just keep the pads
Cups are pretty good. Period underwear are where it's at though.
dont be scared bestie
Just don't forget? You gotta pee everyday multiple times. Just change it everytime you pee.
@@aellalee4767 period cups may be good except for the fact that they stretch you out 😬
@@jasminecook9991 vaginas have elasticity, and considering the muscles in there, they contract back to "normal" the way your arm doesn't stretch and then stay stuck extended.
My brother was a medic in the military years ago and staitioned over seas. He told me this story of a female soldier that came into the clinic complaining of a smell that wouldn't go away even after showers. She was propped on the table and the Dr asked when was the last time she had sex, she said 2 weeks ago and they pulled out a condom. He said the smell filled the room and it was so bad he almost threw up. So not only that, but she got tested and had 3 STD's.
Goddamn
Oh shitt💀
Crazy?????
Nasty wtf
How do you start having sex with a condom on and then finish without one and not realize you are missing it??
I can confirm.the smell that can close a room for hours! I worked in A&E, forgotten tampons were common, occasionally we would have someone very sick come in, the reason, was a forgotten tampon, toxic shock syndrome.
If you are forgetful, leave yourself a note, or the tampon wrapper on the lid of the toilet to remind you to get it out. It's very dangerous.
This is why Gynae education is so important for both women AND men. Our plumbing is a bit more complicated than males, and even if she was clueless maybe he could've helped in this situation. I know this is a skit, but I also know this has actually happened way more times than it ever should.
Yes, it should literally never happen because of something like a tampon. Women need to be responsible for their own vaginal health. Common sense should tell you it's GOING to breed bacteria if you leave anything up in there too long. Let alone a blood soaked piece of cotton. These women should quit acting like the world needs to take care of them... Google is a thing. Before that? Their momma's/ Grand Mama's/ Aunt's. The literature that comes with EVERY box of tampons 🤣
I'm afraid this only happens in coutries that don't have proper reproductive health education, and that includes sex ed. In 2022, with tv shows that are horribly violent and scandalous to say the least and commercials on busstops with women in underwear, proper sex ed is somehow still something considered shocking and tabu to some folks.

@@hellofriends1516 okay, maybe my answear was a bit generalised, you're right. But proper education has been proven to lower the risk of teen pregnancy among other things. 😊 And I think the rate of these things happening is also lower, 'cause people know about tss and sti:s.

"It hurt after me and my boyfriend had sex"
Yup. That's why it's stuck 😓
This happens way more often than you would think. I'm currently in my maternity rotation in nursing school and my professor is a OB nurse practitioner and told us in lecture yesterday when we went over Toxic Shock Syndrome this exact same story happened multiple times but in her cases the patients completely forgot there was a tampon in them .
I think it is fairly common, but most women don’t run to the doctor or ER about it. I once thought I’d already taken one out, but pushed it further up with a second one without knowing. I don’t know how the person in the video went a week, though. I had light cramps and a strange odor developing after two days. When I figured out what it was, I was able to pull it right out.
Must be loosy goosey down there
@@r4a2g0 a tampon applicator is about the width of a dime. It must suck having a dick so small that you think a tampon would make a vagina “loosy goosey.” 😳🤣
How do you forget it?!?
@@heidiort2438 relentless toddlers, a long day of work, and a glass of wine, if I remember correctly. But, I didn’t forget mine. I thought I removed it and used a second one. Idk how people “forget” them. That’s like forgetting you’re on your period, which seems impossible. My only point was that a normal person would notice the symptoms quickly and simply remove it. I’m a little shocked that people go to the ER or their gyno after a week like i DoN’t KnOw WhAt’S wRoNg WiTh Me.
I could almost always feel them no way I could forget to remove one, especially not 2 that wouldn't even fit. That's also one reason why I stopped using them a few years ago.
If you can feel ur tampon, you haven’t put it up far enough
That’s why I use pads😗

This actually happened to me when I was working in the ER. The smell was horrific and she was in pain.
I hope they realise they can literally get a "down-there" infection/disease for keeping it in for more than recommended time. Those diseases can kill you :D
(I'm pretty sure it's like 4-6 hours right? Okay, it's 7-8)
actually i think 4 is safe because i have heard in 7-8 hours thats when it starts creating a toxic substance that can be life threatening
Probably why it smelled.

My friends mom is a nurse and she said this guy brought her girlfriend in because she smelt so bad. Apparently she thought tampons dissolved and had about 7-9 in there true story.
7-9? How?! I'm acutely aware of when there is just one in there!

You did good 👍
Worked at a doctor’s office for 5 years you’d be surprised to see how often this actually happens! It’s a thing!
I have no idea why, but your videos make me feel all safe and comfortable 😅
Glad I use pads. I can't even imagine using tampons
I don’t use tampons. Just pads.
*New fear unlocked*
Oh, good lawrd! I worked in OBGYN and this happens more often than you can imagine. The exam room needs to be closed out for at least 4hrs. Tampons aren't the only thing that gets stuck.
I will pray 🙏 for you nurse man. The things you go through 😅
After reading the comments i think i'm gonna stick to pads for the rest of my life 😄✌️
Had a girlfriend tell me this ab 40 yrs ago. She went to the GYN and cried to me that he yelled at her and she didn't understand why. She'd left it in there for a month. Needless to say it was beyond gross. She damn near lost her entire reproductive system over it, required major antibiotics.
They had tampons 40 years ago?

@@princesshoy3510 oh- she was dead... right.

My first one got stuck. I was in the bathroom in a home where there were 7 people so I couldn't just stay in the bathroom pulling and hoping! I grabbed the Vaseline and ran to the basement to hide. It took me two hours, a lot of tears, but I quoted that "FREE AT LAST" speech like it was written for such an occasion! Also I switched to pads!
Sadly it’s true. A friend of mine had the same problem. She went to the doctors office after her boyfriend told her that the smell is weird 🤭

This is why i use pads yall💀💀💀💀😭😭😭
& this is exactly why I don’t touch tampons. The fact that something is inside of me for a certain amount of time is uncomfortable. I’m 22 years old & I’ve used pads all of my life. & I will continue to do so 😊
You realize that it's incredibly rare to get a tampon stuck in your vagina, right?
Me too! I probably won’t ever try one
Same, also it's so much easier that pads go along with panties when you wanna have fun times. safe and comfy
Tried it once...
Never again!
I was the same way but I got tired of constantly leaking blood on everything (probably constant error on my part), so tampons it is now
I audibly gasped when she said "a week" 😱 girl that's how TSS happens! I hope the poor girl this (probably) actually happened to is OK!
How he keeps a totally straight face and his voice perfectly level .... I love it!
He heard that so many times
I have had this one too! But the patient said it had been 2 weeks and it stank so bad I threw up in the patients room! Ewww!
Just to help normalize things, I've accidentally left a tampon in, and it was also a week, however as soon as I started to smell it I was investigating my parts and found the string and realized what was happening and pulled it out. Yes, it was a bad smell but it cleared up fairly quick. Just make sure you shower and clean the bathroom up and it'll be fine as soon as its aired out a bit.. same with your body.
Ladies, be good to yourselves!
No shaming here...but what made you forget about your tampon for a week?
Investigating and finding the string. So , again no judgement. But during your bath/showers you didn't feel the string before the smell?
Exactly it happens no-one should be looked at like that
Genuin question? And no shaming! But how the f!ck do you forget it there for a whole week?!
No shaming here but don't you notice that string when you shower or hell go to the bathroom number one or two especially?
I love his facial expressions and you know he's heard every single one of these situations
After I had my first baby two years ago at the age of 19... I stopped bleeding after 10 days ish and my period started literally the next week and so I went back to using a normal tampon. That darn thing got itself worked up into my cervix and I just thought I must of taken out and didn't think twice. A few months go by and I started getting horrible labor like pains and I went to the er to find out it was the tampon.....I'm 22 now and pregnant with my second baby..... so I am fine but I will never use tampons again.
Yuck
Holy crap, good to know that could happen. Ouch 😥
OMG a few months 😭😭😭 glad you’re okay
I'm sorry they didn't tell you to wait 6-8 weeks after birth to use tampons. My OB said "complete pelvic rest" to me so many times that the phrase burned into my brain.
im glad i wear adult diapers for mine, no fear of over sleeping or getting stuck.
Fear of forgetting it is valid, but you cant lose or get something stuck on there unless you dont do anything about it
Exactly!!!
@danicamichaels9615 oh no, i wear adult diapers because i have muscular dystrophy and as a result of my disease alot of my muscles have atrafied including my bladder muscles unfortunately there is no cure
@danicamichaels9615 its both good news and not, its hard to find a public bathroom that has single person bathrooms without stalls so it makes life hard and you have to think of, and look up what the bathrooms are like wherever you go.
But i do thank you for your concern on thinking it was a heavy-duty period there honestly needs to be more kind hearted people like you and your message honestly took me aback that someone would care like that as im not use to it.
@danicamichaels9615
if i have to change my diaper i feel like the whole world will see me change it in a open bathroom plus ide have to toss it and ugh so many times ive been caught with it.
The face expression tells it all 🤣 the acting is on point for every short vids i watch of yours👌😁 i just crack to the ups lmao 😂😭😂😭
This happened to me when I was experiencing memory loss after a traumatic incident. It was a small one and I didn't know it was there for at least a few weeks. I thought I had some kind of infection. I was crying trying to figure out what was wrong with me. Meanwhile my ex didn't care and simply kept trying to sleep with me. Luckily I didn't get toxic shock syndrome. I was mortified the entire time.
Here's a tip if this happens to you: It is important to try to use a small mirror or reach as far as you can. Once you notice it is there DO NOT have sex. It can push it further inside.
How are you doin now?
Heartless of your ex not to care about you despite the fact you are suffering from an illness. Good reason he is your ex.
My bf did the opposite: "You just had surgery 3 months ago. I don't care the doctor said it's safe. I'm waiting another 3 months because I don't want to hurt you. I want to enjoy your body long term so I'd rather not break it. If I can wait, you can wait."
@@ZebraLuv
That's a keeper
Reminds me of my ex, 4/5 weeks after I had a vaginal delivery with stitches thought that was long enough. So clueless and selfish!.
A week though… Toxic shock syndrome for sure
Not for sure. Not every person who leaves a tampon in way too long gets toxic shock. If you've ever been on a woman's health forum, you'd have read a great many personal stories of people forgetting tampons at the end of a period for days and not getting it.
I'm not saying it's safe to leave a tampon in longer than the maximum 8 hours directed, and nobody should. I'm just saying it's not a 100% absolute that doing so will cause toxic shock, something I wish teenage me had known when I accidentally left one in for 12 hours and thought I was going to die.
@@laras678 12 hours is nothing to a week though .. 😦
@@laras678 yeah but like two days vs a week is very different + the person in the video did the deed with it in, potentiallypushing it further in and probably causing some trouble there too
There's been ladies on the months time mark. I remember hearing of one who even more in.
@@Miipmiip Sorry, I was making two separate points.
1: People have worn them for a week and longer and _not_ gotten toxic shock. If you visit any forum about periods and "women's health" where the subject is discussed, you'll read many personal stories of women who have worn a tampon for a week or longer and not gotten toxic shock.
2: I wish I'd known when I was younger that toxic shock didn't _automatically_ set in the minute you went over 8 hours.
Point 2 doesn't negate point 1.
And that's why: _pads_
I can relate to it. It happened to me. Thank goodness for menopause.
at this point in menopause I'd rather be having periods again. menopause is the worst stage of life so far😆. don't get old, there's no future in it.
The "you don't say " got me in stitches🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
So once my husband and me in the heat of the moment went at it when I had a tampon in. I instantly knew and made him stop and we both tried to retrieve it. We couldn’t so I went to ER. I was so embarrassed and mortified but scared. The doctor laughed at me and told me I was lying Bc there was no tampon. I swore there was one but he said I must had taken it out and was discharged. A day later I was able to get ahold of it. I’m glad it turned out ok but man I could have gotten very sick. I still wish I knew why he couldn’t find it but I did.
Metal Speculum covered it I bet. Gotta love the new clear ones.
Because he was a male and an idiot
Well, that doctor was very dismissive. You know your body well...thank god you didnt suffer from TSS
He laughed?!! What a horrible doctor. 😞
Next time ask for a female doctor 🙁 it’s not all of them, but many male doctors have dismissed female patients, for idiotic reasons. Many women have suffered from terrible conditions that could’ve been treated early, but unfortunately for them, they had male doctors.
This is why I’ll forever use pads
I was lucky, in junior high, before I had started having a cycle, one of the girls was sick for 2 weeks out of school, when she came back she told us she had gotten toxic shock syndrome from leaving in her tampon too long and she had almost died. After I learned what a tampon was, LOL, I never forgot her story & was super careful about changing them out every 4-6 hours. It really is something parents need to talk about with their girls.
I started using a menstrual cup over a year ago, and I’m never going back to tampons OR pads. For me, tampons hurt cause they’re so dry and it would really hurt to take it out. After using the cup for two months (two periods) it wasn’t uncomfortable at all. I really recommend it. There are so many benefits like saving money, no waste and you can use it for up to 12 hours.
Same!! Took me about 5 months to really get it down (I absolutely hated the experience at first but don’t give up!!! SERIOUSLY!!! There’s a big learning curve since you only can practice a few times each month but it’s totally worth it!!) Combine it with period underwear and you’re good to go, plus you save so much money!
I have 2 but I can’t figure out how to put them in. I’ve tried and I just couldn’t get it in
Too bad, it is not suitable for every one.. i get heavy flow on first and second day, so i have to remove my cup in 3 hours 🙃
And after used it for 4 months, i got really bad stomachache in lower right abdomen..
I already can't bring myself to stay calm while touching the surface of that cavity of mine with the tip of my washed fingers for some unknown reason, so forget about putting something made out of cotton or plastic, even if maliable, inside of it. Hard no thank you from me. Pads aren't as horrible as they are said to be if you choose the right size, don't move around too much, change them every 3 hours or so and clean yourself with a wiper. Keeping the endometer inside for such long time periods however, doesn't sound super hygenic to me and I can see it overflooding very easily if you've got a heavy flow.
I use cups too. I have to change them a lot for the first few days but I still prefer them to tampons.
Man this is so relatable…. In the patient’s perspective 😅
I’m sorry, what?
what.
I hope you mean you just got it stuck and didn’t actually wait a week to go to the er
Wishes only the best for your coochie health 😔🙏
Uhh no it's not🧍♀️
This is exactly my friend when she tells me that she got her tampon stuck for 2 weeks and only notice because of the smell.... 😱
Nasty!!!
That bow 🎀😂
If only young women had better sex Ed and more self esteem 🤦♀️
I’m sure she just forgot… I don’t think self esteem is relevant to forgetting a tampon
@@aroundthemiddle2112 No, but it is relevant to asking for help in a timely manner.
I’m not sure what self esteem has to do with this particular issue,
@@annataymond9529 The person above you literally just explained it
@@annataymond9529 A girl who is confident and knows who she is doesn't let a man have sex with her when she knows there's an object stuck inside of her body and needs help. Girls with proper sex education, when they realize they have a tampon stuck inside of them, get help. That tampon was in there for days and days and she didn't know what to do. That's what I mean.
This is why I don't use tampons 🤭😷🥶
I’m old enough to remember when toxic shock was a thing. All of a sudden these girls were coming down with deadly infections. Sometimes pads are good enough.
It's conversation like these that make me grateful we're still wearing masks but in reality the eyes say it all 😅
I used to use menstrual rings (discs) until it got stuck on my cervix. I went right to the ER and even the doctor, assisted by a nurse, almost couldn't get it off. He was afraid he was going to have to have it surgically removed, but then he got it on the last try. I'm lucky there was no damage to my lady parts (I had my gyno check a few days later). Ladies: Please don't EVER use those things. As it turns out, they were pulled off the market for a while. I don't know why they were allowed to be sold again.
Interesting, I use them and have never had an issue. I actually did forget a diva cup once but it came out just fine. There really isn’t anywhere for bacteria to develop on the silicone like there is for pads and tampons.
WHAT
Your facial expressions are on point!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
“Welcome to the ER” said no one ever
You should make some “I quit.” merch
Maybe she was embarrassed? I went with a friend to ER, she had it stuck for a day, she tried everything at home and couldn’t get out. Long story short the nurses were so judgmental and saying that if she just waited a bit more it would’ve probably just come out on it’s own … 😅😅 some nurses/doctors are really not that nice and make people feel like they are always exaggerating.
This is one of the reasons I switched to mentrual cups. Comfortable, inexpensive ($29 every 2 years), you can leave it in all day, pull it out, dump the contents into the toilet, rinse, dry, reinsert and leave it in all night. No bacteria, no chemicals.
Yuck! Just...YUCK! 🤢😒
Nah thanks m I rather use pads
Menstrual cups are the best!!
The cups actually also measure the fluid, so when you are asked by a doctor, how much do you bleed on average you can give them a fairly accurate estimate per a month. Great knowledge to have when trying to diagnose certain things like endometriosis which can affect more than just the female reproductive system.
We are conditioned to be grossed out by bodily fluids, but as long as you are sanitary about it there is no difference in that than there is a urine sample or fecal sample, which that last one is far more disgusting in my personal opinion.
@@amethyst5538 Yes. Fecal samples are nasty as, well, shit to collect.
dude...i actually have this weird irrational nagging feeling that one has been stuck inside me for years and ive had no symptoms or problems at all and its not true at all but its like the "i forgot something feeling" but a very specific forgot.
