I’ve just birthed a fossilised tampon...what do I do?!

Hello.
I’m so embarrassed about this. Have had loads of weird discharge for the past few days and was getting really worried- suddenly this happened. I feel quite well and everything but could I now have an infection or something? It must have been in there for two weeks.

Do I just presume I will now be fine or should I seek official advice (seriously hoping I don’t have to).

Excuse me while I now go and 🤢

@TheWiseWomansFear

How did maggots get in there, how did a fly get up her fanny?

@SpidersDarkedOnMyWashing

Just during my normal shower, insert a finger and remove any discharge

I do that with the plughole.

That's what I was thinking!

So I'm laughing away and DH wants to know what is so funny. So I told him. Poor thing is now so traumatised he's had to go to bed!

I've a few forgotten tampons - most I managed to howk out myself, but one I had to get the nurse at GP surgery to retrieve for me. She gave me antibiotics and a row for not getting antibiotics for the other times.

Once, trying to take out a tampon, I pulled and only the string came out! After that, I always gave the string a test tug before insertion!

ShebaFelix · 19/11/2018 23:01

I’ve done the exact opposite! I put a tampon in in a hurry, went to work, thought I was having quite a heavy period as I was leaking through, went to change it but couldn’t find the string. Was freaking out as I just couldn’t find it or get it out. Phoned the GP. They reluctantly booked a late appointment with the nurse. Nurse rummaged round and eventually said she couldn’t find it and was I sure I’d put one in. Yes I was sure. Anyway after much embarrassment and stress and upset (!) I went home. Looked in the bin and there was the applicator along with the tampon still in it!!

Chardeemacdennis1 · 19/11/2018 23:02

I can't believe all these fanny washers don't realise that their vages are stinky and slimey because they keep shoving water and soap up there.

This happened to meShock . I was fine once I'd got over the shock.

onthenaughtystepagain · 19/11/2018 23:17

I did this once, I went to the doctor because I had an awful smel, not realising from where it emanatedl. He smiled, told me to get up on the couch and removed it, the worst part was that it was during our military days and the doctor was an acquaintance of ours. I sat across from him at a Mess Dinner a few days later.

TAMS71 · 19/11/2018 23:27

@donquixotedelamancha that made me laugh out loud!

OP - maybe consider the marina coil then you probably won't need to bother with tampons ever again! T'was always something I used to dread would happen!

I would hazard a guess that a homeless person may not have the best personal hygiene. Flies will lay eggs on anything moist and smelly. Once the eggs hatch, maggots crawl. They won't just have been hunting out the fossilised tampon, just generally munching their way through the detritus.

I admit to not washing the inside if my vagina AKA my vagina BUT if I know she will be heading out for the night I do give her a breath mint to chew on, the hot ones are especially good for getting the party started.

@AChefIsTrappedInMyCellar I have to admit that made me laugh hysterically! Grin

Happened to me years ago, didn't seek medical advice or help all was well.

Mamaryllis · 20/11/2018 01:14

Oh bejeezus naughtystep - I once had to get the military doc to feel up my legs 🦵 I think he had to check for dvt or something. He lived across the hall from me and that was embarrassing enough. I would have had to request a posting if there had been a tampon incident Shock

halfwitpicker · 20/11/2018 02:17

And worst, I was writhing around telling him how big his dick felt. Oh the shame.

I honestly cannot imagine what the smell must have been like. Holy macaroni Shock

melonscoffer · 20/11/2018 02:25

For those of you agog at the men putting the shower hose up their rectum.
Penis shaped shower heads are really popular for the very purpose of having a good time whilst cleaning up there.
Perhaps an answer for the vagina cleaning idiots folks.
