How do you remove an impacted tampon?

Answer 1

You have to first clean your hands thoroughly. Then it is easiest if you squat while inserting your forefinger into your vagina. Feel around for the tampon and when it is located, insert your thumb to retrieve. Be patient it may take a few minutes. If you can not retrieve or feel it, go to your doctor and they can easily do it with a speculum.

Answer 2

To get a tampon out, there is this string that when you push it up into the vagina, when you're all done using it you pull the string and it comes out.
When you push it in make sure the string on the is still outside the virgina and you just put on that to get it out. If you've already put it in and you can't pull on the string, you can actually push them out ...like you can push a baby out. It can be quite difficult though so if you can't get it out then you should go to a doctor or speak to your parents -- which ever you feel more comfortable doing!
Pull to the right and it will come right out

Answer 3

You simply wrap-up the tampon and throw it in the bin.

Most people just wrap-up the tampon in toilet paper, or if the woman uses pads with tampons they can wrap-up the tampon within the pad and then within the pad wrapper, then they just go in the bin. This is why there are sanitary disposal bins in public bathroom stalls. You can also get little scented plastic bags in the sanitary product isle that are useful in case you go to a friends house and find there is no bin, these allow you to carry the wrapped-up tampon until you can find a bin.

Never flush tampons, some companies claim tampons are flushable to make them seem more convenient but they can expand in water and don't break-down so can cause blockages - this can cause problems with your pluming, or issues like blocked pipes and flooding further up the system. Tampons can also bypass sewage treatment so make their way into waterways like oceans.

Answer 4

If the tampon is at the top of your vagina, the easiest way to remove it is to squat down, bear down, and try to insert two fingers to grab it between them like scissors. If you aren't able to do so, see your health care provider or your local family planning agency. They have heard this complaint before, and will be able to help in a matter of minutes.

Answer 5

I'm not sure of any reason why you would want to dissolve a tampon. Generally speaking tampons will not dissolve, if they did they'd not be fit for purpose. To dissolve a tampon you'd likely have to use some sort of acid to break it down, however what you would use I'm not sure.

Answer 6

A tampon cannot really be lost, after all it can go no further than the vaginal canal. If the tampon is stuck within the vagina then squat and using clean fingers retrieve the tampon, make sure to relax and be patient as getting frustrated will make things more difficult. If you cannot retrieve it by yourself then you would have to go to the Doctor Who would remove this for you.

Answer 7

Most tampons have a string attached, when it's time to remove the tampon you simply pull on the string gently but firmly to remove the tampon. Tampons without strings require you to insert clean fingers vaginally to grab the tampon itself and pull it out of the vagina. You need to ensure you're relaxed when removing a tampon otherwise vaginal walls will tighten around the tampon, making it hard to remove.
