I forgot about an inserted tampon. I'm too old to be this much of an idiot. : TwoXChromosomes

I had one for a month. I didn't know it was a tampon bit I knew it was something. I went to my ob and she pulled it out and said that it happens a lot more than people would think. No big deal in her eyes, I was horrified.

This was how I, at 18 years old - two weeks after losing my virginity, found out the same at my first gyn appointment. I was so worried it was a consequence of s*x.

The doctor said nothing during the exam, either. As the stink of me filled the room, she calls out "forceps!" and reached in to yank out (what felt like) my soul. It was so painful. You aren't alone! There are dozens of us :D

Same thing happened to me in high school! I was so mortified when the nurse looked like she was about to vomit once it was removed. I'll never forget that smell! But the doctor did say it was more common than I thought.

I did that once - I forgot about it and was inserting new ones on top. It was a week past my period before I realized it was there.

Been there. I had to go to the walk-in centre to have 2 nurses remove it 😂

I don't think that we should be giving women equal rights
