If you've left a tampon in longer than the recommended 4-6 hours then it increases risks of TSS and vaginal infections - the longer they're left the higher the risks.
If susceptible to TSS on this occasion you'd likely see TSS symptoms earlier rather than later because although TSS risks are higher the longer you leave tampons, the bacterial toxins responsible for TSS take immediate effect. Symptoms of TSS can vary greatly including vomiting, bowel problems, muscle pains, rash on hands or feet, red mucosa, but all TSS cases involve fever and low blood pressure.
Vaginal infection is most common, you'd notice bad odour such as a fishy smell and excessive discharge, maybe also irritation. If you do notice these symptoms then you check to see if there is a tampon still left in your vagina, and then see your doctor for antibiotics to clear the infection.

∙ 9y agoThe main symptoms would be that you're no longer bleeding or see a change in flow, and you may experience a bad odour - tampons prevent vaginal cleaning, impact on vaginal pH, and encourage bacterial growth. You may also experience unusual discharge or cramping. If you think that you may have left a tampon in then check to be sure.

∙ 10y agoIf you left a tampon in too long you would start to notice a bad odour (typically fishy or like ammonia) due to increased bacterial growth within the tampon, you may also notice unusual discharge such as watery grey or green in colour, or irritation. If left for a very long time you may experience cramping and pain in your lower abdomen.
Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) is always a risk with tampon use, higher if leaving a tampon in too long - so you may notice symptoms such as fever, low blood pressure, red eyes or genitals, sore muscles, vomiting, headache, etc.

What would happen if a tampon were to be pushed into far and was forgotten?
A tampon cannot go any further than your vaginal canal, the cervix at the top of the vaginal canal stops the tampon from going any deeper. If you forget a tampon then remove it as soon as possible and do not use tampons for the rest of that cycle. Watch for symptoms of vaginal infections like bacterial vaginosis, such as bad smelling or excessive discharge, and see your doctor if you see these.
What does an infection from a tampon feel like?
A vaginal infection as a result of tampon use is no different from any other vaginal infection, most commonly tampons cause bacterial vaginosis which symptoms include a fishy odour and excessive watery discharge.

I haven't had any TSS symptoms but realized I had a tampon inside me for eleven days. Should I be worried?
Yes. Unless you are on a period you shouldn't be using a tampon and if you are you need to change it several times a day. The bacteria is what causes the TSS and it can kill you. I hope you have stopped doing this.
Should i get checked out i don't know how long my tampon was in?
Whether you need to get checked out depends on how long you left a tampon for.If you only left a tampon a few hours longer than you were supposed to (you should change every 4-6 hours) then you're likely okay so just pop on a pad for the rest of your cycle and watch for symptoms of bacterial infections such as excessive bad smelling discharge. If you left a tampon in over a couple of days then you should consider getting checked out as chances are you will develop a vaginal infection. TSS is a risk but you'd likely have seen symptoms after a few hours.

What happens if a tampon stays inside of you for a week?
Tampons should be changed every 4-6 hours to stay hygienic - tampon companies say up to 8 hours but this is too long and would mean you were using too high an absorbency. The longer you leave tampons the longer bacteria are allowed to multiply within the vagina, and they do so exponentially. The longer tampons are left the worse it is for hygiene, also the higher the risks of vaginal infections and TSS, plus of course if leaving too long you increase chances of the tampon leaking.

Although if your partner was also intoxicated then he may of not felt it, but it would of stopped the penis from going a mere 3 inches in your vaginal opening. And also it can not be still in there if it was in the first place, It wouldn't of went far at all during intercourse, therefor if it was still in your vaginal opening you would be able to see it and/or feel it.
