You may not have any symptoms of a 'lost' tampon, at least not for some time.
You may notice symptoms of a vaginal infection - bad smelling discharge like fish or ammonia, unusual colour to your discharge, unusual texture to your discharge such as being watery, pain during sex, or irritation around your genitals. You may see symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease such as bad pain in your abdomen. You may also see symptoms of Toxic shock syndrome, symptoms vary a lot from person to person but you'll certainly see high fever and low blood pressure.
If you suspect a tampon is still inside you then check, and remove it.

∙ 14y agoThere is a chance that it could be sideways up against the wall of your vagina and you aren't feeling high enough. The tampon can't actually go anywhere past your vagina because your cervix won't allow it to pass through. If you really think that you left one up there, I would seek medical attention. All they will do is put a speculum in your vagina and look to see if they find anything. If you decide to wait it out, some symptoms that it may be up there is a very strong odor. If you develop a fever, nausea/vomiting, or a rash, seek medical treatment IMMEDIATELY because you may have toxic shock syndrome, which occurs sometimes if a tampon is left in too long. This can be fatal, so it may be best to go and check anyways. The doctors are happy that you come in rather than wait and it turn into something worse.

∙ 11y agoIt's very unlikely that this will happen as the string is braided into the tampons themselves, but if this did happen then all you would do is remove the tampon by pulling on the tampon itself - the string isn'tnecessary, some tampons (soft tampons and sponge tampons) don't have strings to begin with, it's just that strings make removal a little easier.

∙ 9y agoIf you have a lost tampon, you may have odor, and you may feel the tampon with your fingers. Squat down, bear down, and insert a finger in your vagina. Feel around the cervix -- the part at the top of your vagina that feels like a nose. If you don't feel a tampon, you're fine. If you're still nervous, see your health care provider or your local family planning office; they'll be happy to help, and they have experience in caring for women with this concern.

∙ 7y agoA tampon cannot become lost in the vagina, it's just not biologically possible.
The vaginal canal is only a few inches long and at the top is the cervix, the tampon cannot go any further than the vaginal canal. If you think you may have left a tampon inside your vagina then all you do is insert clean fingers and feel around inside the vaginal canal for the tampon.

Is there a trick to not lose a tampon?
There is no trick to avoiding losing a tampon in your vagina. The string hangs outside the vagina. All you have to do is remember to remove the last one of your period.
How do you keep tampon string from pee?
You move the tampon string out of the way of your urethra, or you can use tampons without strings to avoid the problem all together.
When you insert a tampon does it go past the muscle and right in with the string hanging out or sights on the muscle with the end of the tampon visible?
The tampon goes all the way into the vaginal canal - if that's what you mean by the muscle, as the vaginal canal is essentially a muscular tube. The whole tampon goes into the vagina and quite deep, it wouldn't even be near the vaginal opening once it is inserted so certainly wouldn't hang out. All that hangs out is the tampon string for easy removal, that is if you use a tampon with a string.
Can you lose a tampax in you?
Going swimming won't cause the tampon to get lost in your body. The vagina is a dead end, and the tampon has nowhere to go.
What happens when you pee with a tampon in?
You would urinate as normal.Tampons go into the vaginal canal, whereas you urinate out of your urethra - thus tampons have no effect on your urinating. If you're using tampons with a string it's best to move the tampon string out of the way so it doesn't get wet as this can be uncomfortable and wondering around with a wet tampon string can make your genitals more warm/moist so more favourable to bacteria.
If sprem gets on your tampon string can you become pregnant?
No, you cannot get pregnant from sperm on a tampon string. Sperm needs to go inside your vagina, on the string there is no medium through which the sperm can swim up into the vagina. You can be at risk of STI's/STD's though.

How do you change a tampon?
You simply pull the tampon string gently but firmly - or insert clean fingers vaginally to grab the tampon itself in order to remove. Once removed you wrap-up the used tampon and throw in the waste bin, or if you'reusing reusable tampons clean out in the sink. You can then insert a fresh tampon or reinsert the reusable tampon - although it's best to alternate with pads after tampon use.
How do you remove a tampone?
If you're using a tampon with a string then you just relax and pull firmly but gently on the string. If you're using tampons without a string then you insert clean fingers into your vagina and grab the tampon, then pull out. As long as you're relaxed and using tampons correctly there should be no discomfort.
Why does a tampon have a string?
Some tampons have strings in order to make it easier to remove the tampon. Not all tampons have strings, to remove you would insert clean fingers into the vagina to grab the tampon and pull out.
What happens if you tie a string around your finger and leave it?
Eventually, you will lose circulation to your finger and it will change color.
Is it bad when your tampon string gets bloody but your tampon is only a little bloody?
Your tampon should be completely saturated with blood after 4-6 hours - if the tampon is dry when removing then you need to use a lower absorbency or switch to pads. If the string is getting blood on it some may be from blood lingering in the vaginal canal before tampon insertion, but it may also be that blood is simply bypassing the tampon. Try different TYPES (not just brands) of tampon, you may also want to consider menstrual cups which don't leak.
