[sweetbean]

Oh my go i can't believe how stupid i have been i put a used Tampax applicator in my bathroom bin this morning as i was in a rush and meant to empty the bin out as soon as i got back in but............. i bloody well forgot and i have just found my 12mth old DD sucking it i am now having a hysterical fit thinking that she is going to be poisoned or something terrible will happen. Can anyone tell me if there is real need for concern as i can't speak to my GP until 6.00pm

Thanks for any advise. And yes i know i am an absolutle idiot for leaving it in the bin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Babies/children have been known to eat all sorts of things and be ok...can't be worse than mud, surely (risk of toxoplasmosis in soil), or faeces?

why the bloody hell would anyone want to tast their menstrual blood voluntarily? what earthly benefit could that have? and i'm a lentil knitting hippy but lines must be drawn somewhere.

but anyway.
DD will be fine. It may be gross but won't hurt her one iota.

dont phone gp or nhs direct.gross but hardly fatal.hell some babies eat faeces and survive

they usually come out of vagina covered in blood and anyways...so a wee suck on tampon wont kill
