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

[MedicinalGin]

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 🤢

I've done this before. Never bothered to go to the doctor's, though. I mean, if you're not unwell in yourself, there's no need.

This thread is hilarious and making me grateful for a hysterectomy years ago so I can no longer lose anything up there.

Generally I take my advice about foof cleaning from those medical type gynae people rather than some random on the internet that thinks we're all disgusting hussies because we're not cleaning inside, although I think maybe we should all get our pressure washers out to give them a really good clean.

And who the hell cleans the outside of their foof for two minutes? I think that might be masturbation you're getting confused with there love

Love this thread

I could not leave mine to its own devices in all good, decent consciousness.

Clean the outer bits of your vulva but don't faff with your fanny. It won't thank you for it and you may even end up smelling...................indecently stinky for upsetting all the bacteria!

I tie something to the tampon string so it can’t get lost. A bow, Pom-Pom or small animal.

I think you’ll be okay OP. I’d probably only get medical help of o got a temperature.

I once took out a tampon and then there was another string so I pulled and took out a second (well soaked but not stinky) tampon too. No idea what happened - whether I put in one and then forgot and put in another (HOW?!) or whether I got a faulty pack with two stuck together or... I don't know. But there were definitely two and now I'm neurotic.

I wash inside with the shower. Dont feel clean otherwise. Cleans out pwriod blood which smells. I also hate the dirty sticky feeling around oblvulation. Just like it clean and dry.
Water is natural and fine imo. Just rinsing outside isn't clean at all imo

I can't get one in comfortably, let alone 2!
I have lost my contact lense though, after sleeping in them when drunk, I had to go to specsavers for them to fish it out.

@tallulahbetty, I prefer Febreeze.

Only read your original post but i did this once and as soon as it was out all was fine. I didn't have any infections afterwards.

I can't believe I'm asking this, but how far inside?

I’ve always been taught that my foof is self-cleaning, just like my halogen oven.

Giggling in the staff room at this thread - sorry OP

You lost a contact lense in your vagina?

MNisforlosers well there was no way I could reach it so he had to!

Just rinsing outside isn't clean at all imo

The advice of medical professionals doesn't tally with your opinion, though. But I guess you know better.

PMSL at Wire brush and Dettol.
Glad to meet another fan

How long is it? Ive got images of him up to the elbow and struggling to reach

itsnowthewaitinggame oh! I was imagining him holding your hand and helping you breathe through the contractions

Well i know myself better. Id just hate to smell of anything, even the so called natural smell.

Loving some of the responses on here.

Seriously OP , I think just keep an eye on whether you get a temperature or feel.ill.and Seek medical advice if you do.

It happened to me once and I have no idea how I didn't notice. I shower every day and it had been in there at least a week. Gross

Happened to me years ago and I was so ashamed. I knew something was wrong because of the smell and ugh. I had a feel around with my fingers and could feel something. Mine didn't birth, I had to get it out myself. Even more deep shame; my mother had to help me.

I shudder even now thinking about it and it was about a million years ago.

I was fine. No infection. Didn't see the doctor, but like others I would have gone if it continued to feel bad and stinky.

To anyone who thinks it's disgusting. You're not wrong, but you're also a rather unpleasant person.

But there's always going to be a smell. I believe 'cassolette' is the word the silver tongued French use. Just like a nice clean cock will still have that unmistakable musky cock smell. Not sure if the French have a separate word for this also!

Well you could... you'd probably just not have any reason to.

If you were suffering from toxic shock OP you'd prob know by now.
