Tampons, Can you get sick? Options

[vietbabiiix3]

Well, I've never used a tampon before, but I heard from a friend that she read about a girl who used a tampon and forgot to take it out. She felt sick and she was sent to the ER. When she was there the doctor asked her if she was on her period. And she suddenly remembered she had the tampon in there still. When she took it out, she felt much better.

I heard there's a syndrome or something that goes along with using tampons. Any experience?

Tampons are uncomfortable to use. Well for me anyway. I mean, having something stuck in there for so long...eww. As far as getting sick by using it: sometimes it is not always that you forget to take it out. You might have to alternate between tampons and pads. Using just tampons even if you change it can make you feel a little woozy. If using tampons, its best just to use for important occasions, like parties, weddings, etc. Other than that, pads are safer. Just remember to change pads too, because blood itself is toxic.

It was probably just uncomfortable because you didnt put it in the right way the chances of getting TSS or getting sick at all is a very very low chance. YOU MUST BE A COMPLETE IDIOT IF YOU FORGET TO TAKE OUT A TAMPON. How can when you change it make you feel woosy? If tampons were that toxic like you make them seem I dont think they would be selling them.

well i guess tampons are good to use if your swimming or whatnot, but from what i understand, your period will stop while you are in water, like in the shower or whatnot, so thats not a BIG worry, unless your irregular and you do still have it while in water.

Usually your period will stop when your in the water but, it also might not.

I say stick with tampons, its alot better then sitting in a blood bath
