No, you cannot lose your tampon inside your vagina.
Your vagina is only a few inches long, and a tampon can go no further than your vaginal canal because the cervix stops it from going any further than that. If you have a tampon in your vagina then it's not going to get lost, you know exactly where it is and can remove it. Someone forgetting a tampon does not mean it is possible to lose a tampon in the vagina.

∙ 10y agoA tampon cannot get 'lost' inside you - your vaginal canal is only so long, and a tampon cannot go past your cervix, thus there is no where for it to get 'lost'.
It is possible for a tampon to get stuck, particularly if the user is not use to tampon use so may tense-up making removal more difficult - relaxing and taking a warm bath can help a person remove the tampon. It is also possible for a person to forget they're wearing a tampon, if this happens it can result in bad odour, vaginal infection or Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) resulting in the user checking for the tampon or going to the Doctor Who would then discover the forgotten tampon.

∙ 12y agono, don't worry, it isimpossible to do so. i dunno from who you heard it, but it is nonsense. don't let yourself be scared by this rubbish!
*******************************************************************
This is not rubbish at all!!! i know from first hand that you CAN lose your tampon inside of you. It happens a lot more than you would think and it is nothing to be ashamed of. really. just Google lost tampon and you would not believe how many people it has happened to.
I too did not think it was possible til it happened to me. You would think i has no where to go but it will go wherever its crammed. I had a really irregular period so one day i wouldn't use a tampon and the next i would use 5. I went to a football game last Sunday morning and put one it. I tailgated, got drunk and went the whole day not noticing i never took it out. that night my boyfriend and i had sex. it hurt and it was really dry but i just didn't think anything of it.
the next morning, no period. the next day i had a lot of itching. i thought i was getting a yeast infection. i showered and cleaned up extra well and had some spotting the next day. Then i started to get this awful, foul odor. had no idea why my period looked like babies runny poop. and it smelled the same. finally i decided that something was not right at all. so i washed my hands really well, layed a towel on my bed, i layed down and inserted my index finger into my vagina.
with circular motions i felt around each crevice and in the back upper right side i felt a spongy thing. I hooked my finger under it and pulled it out. it was a tampon. it was sideways and up really high, it was awful!!!! it had been there for 7 days!! I had sex with it in there and continued using other tampons.
if this happens to you. don't panic. just make sure you look at it to make sure you get it all out, then put it in a ziplock back and throw it away. if you don't it will smell up the whole room very quickly.
and never be ashamed. i panicked and called my mom and my best friend. they were there to calm me down and tell me that i was going to be ok. you should also go to the doctor. you may develop toxic shock syndrome. which can be fatal. if you develop a rash that looks like a sunburn, get a sudden fever, have a headache or start to vomit and have diarrhea GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM. you can die from this bacterial infection.
i was lucky my mom works at a hospital and had medication for me to take. a 5 day antibacterial gel inserted like yeast infection medication.
this just happened to me yesterday. i will be more careful in the future. again whoever this person was before me that said this was rubbish must be very uninformed and needs to do some research before saying that something is impossible and making young girls afraid to ask questions and feel like they are different when something is wrong.
i hope this is helpful!!!! never be ashamed to ask questions. odds are there a 500 other people just like you!!!

∙ 14y agoYou certainly can. Many times, women can retain a tampon in their vagina. If you are worried that this has occurred, you should go to the doctor right away- the tampon can gather bacteria, and if left in too long can cause serious infections. Sometimes you will need the doctor to get the tampon out.
Sometimes, a tampon can also come out while you are going to the bathroom (#2). Sometimes this goes unnoticed, and if you feel comfortable doing it, you can search yourself to see if you can feel a retained tampon, or if it came out unnoticed.

∙ 9y agoNo, tampons cannot get lost in your vagina.
Your vaginal canal is only a few inches long so not that much longer than the tampon itself, when menstruating your cervix sits lower in the vaginal canal so it's actually shorter on your period too. At the top of your vaginal canal is your cervix, this is the bottom of your uterus and the opening of the cervix is not long enough to allow a tampon through, thus a tampon can go no further than this.
If you do ever struggle to feel the tampon when it comes to removal then all you have to do is wash your hands and insert fingers vaginally to feel around, if you struggle to feel all around your vagina you can squat and push down to force the tampon further down in the vaginal canal.

∙ 8y agoNo, it's not possible for you to lose a tampon inside your body.
Your vaginal canal is only around 3-4 inches in length and at the top of the vaginal canal is the cervix, which prevents the tampon from going any further into your vagina. Tampons can go deep into the vagina but they cannot go any further and they are easily removed from the vagina after use.

Would a transvaginal ultrasound see a lost tampon?
A transvaginal ultrasound would not see a lost tampon. Tampons can't get lost in the pelvis. A speculum exam would tell you whether there was a tampon in your vagina.
What if the doctor did not find the lost tampon inside of you?
If the emergency room doctor did an effective speculum exam, then the doctor w2ould not be able to miss a tampon in your vagina. There is nowhere else a tampon can go; the vagina is a dead end. But removal of a lost tampon is not a reason for an emergency room visit. Next time, see your regular health care provider or your local family planning agency. They are better able to provide this kind of care. Routine GYN care is not what emergency rooms are for, and not their specialty.

If i used my last tampond but i don't remember removing it can the string get lost?
The string can curl back into the vagina, but that doesn't matter as the string isn't needed - the string makes removal easier, but you can always remove the tampon with your fingers instead. If you can't remember removing the tampon then search the vagina to make sure it's still not in there.
Can you get pregnant if you have a lost tampon?
To be pregnant you need to have the sperm of a man in you. If you have lost a tampon inside of your vagina, you should get in a warm bath and, while in there, gently stick your fingers into your vagina and pull out the tampon to avoid Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) To answer your question, no.
Can you pee with a tampon in or do you have to take it out to pee?
.the tampon fits into the vagina, and the urine comes out of the bladder into the urinary tract, so do not worry, you can urinate without having to remove the tampon.
