Whenever people post about an issue with their womanly-bits, someone always asks if it's possible they've forgotten a tampon up there, but how on earth is that even possible?

I know you aren't supposed to feel them, which is why I don't use them anymore. But still, if I did, I couldn't forget its there.

Good for you. Other people can get distracted for a split second and think they’ve taken it out when they haven’t. Maybe one day you’ll forget to do something.

Up the side of the cervix - maybe at a heavy part of the flow your forget you have a tampon in so put in another and force the [full] one already there horizontally around the cervix.

So you acknowledge that you're not supposed to feel it, but still cannot comprehend that because you can't feel it that means women can on occasion forget it's there.

I mean, how on earth do you get two up there, without noticing the first one.

I used to think the same, how the hell could anyone forget they had a tampon in?! I'd put a tampon in and forgot about it, so when that tampon reached it's capacity I put another one in before bed! When I removed it in the morning, the first tampon came out along side it! I must say it smelt really awful 🤢 haven't made that mistake again. I have a friend who had a tampon in there for 3 weeks!!! She thought she had an STI due to the smell, went to the drs and they found it. She is also not usually the forgetful, disorganised type. It happens more often than you'd think!

Gosh reading this now… happened to me last week, and i am not forgetful. I simply forgot, the string was not there, it must have been 24h top but i am genuinely disgusted and was quite shaken about it.
