How Do I Confirm If A Tampon Is Already Lodged Inside?
i may have put a tampon in after already having a tampon in, my period seems to have stopped but it never stops as soon as it did.... how long would it take for me to get sick (TSS) if there was a tampon lodged in me and i couldnt feel it to take it out ? Ive never had this happen before and im not even really sure if there is one in there but how would i know ?

Hello,
You can try to reach the tampon with your fingers. You can't have a tampon for longer than 6 hours because it may get infected or even may cause toxic shock.
If you can't reach it go to a doctor to remove it.
Hope I have answered the question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
