Period talk: Questions and advice
in Women's Health ·
Ladies, I’ve had a bit of a clumsy moment.
I was removing the tampon I put in this morning before heading to work when I noticed an extra string left behind. 😲 It turns out that while I was changing my pad last night before bed, I completely missed the fact that I still had the one from earlier in the evening inside me; I essentially had a tampon in for over 12 hours without realizing it. 😲 I honestly have no idea how I could have been so oblivious. My heart nearly skipped a beat when it finally clicked. Nothing seemed unusual at the time, especially since my flow is usually quite light overnight, leaving my pads almost entirely clean.
Should I be concerned or start panicking?
