Why Did your tampon get stuck around a tube like structure?

The tube like structure you're probably talking about is your cervix. The cervix is the end of your uterus that protrudes into your vagina. It has the texture of your nose. If you leave a tampon in for weeks, the moisture and heat of your body may cause it to move to the top of the vagina, and it's not unusual for it to curve around the cervix. Next time, remember to remove your tampon at the end of your period.
