Many tampon brands have an X in the name: Tampax, Playtex, Kotex, and Maxim. One reason is that females usually have two x chromosomes, thus the 'x' is to represent females. It is also likely that because of the popularity of Tampax brand the 'x' has become associated with tampons, thus other brands use this by creating brands that sound like tampon brands, by using an 'x' in the name.
Women have two x chromosones.
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.
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.
A pelvic exam can tell if there's a tampon in. As for imagery studies, an X-ray of the pelvis should show that as well. Advanced imaging studies will detect a tampon including CTs and MRIs.

The color of tampon packets normally relates to absorbency. Different tampon brands will have their tampons in different colors to show absorbency rating so women know which is which in order to prevent them using too high or too low an absorbency for their flow.
No, a tampon cannot get into your uterus as the opening to the cervix (the bottom of the uterus) is too narrow for a tampon to get into. Your vaginal canal is essentially a dead-end as far as tampons are concerned, they can go no further than the vaginal canal. If you insert [clean] fingers vaginally you can feel for yourself that your vaginal canal is only so long ans there's nowhere for a tampon to go.
X Brands passed away in 2000. He lived in Northridge CA. He was a relative of my family.
