I accidentally had 2 tampons in: Will I be okay?

As long as you can get them both out you should be fine. My mother used to wear two tampons in a pad at the same time because of the heavy bleeding.

I would go to the doc or ER just so they can make sure everything came out, sometimes fibers can get stuck still.

I have done this before, not for as long but yeah a few hours doubled up. Keep eye open for tss as the others have already said. Take a nice long shower to relax and unwind and let yourself bleed naturally in the shower before replacing the tampon

Honestly, Iā€™ve done this before also and was fine. I was a lot younger and when I went to take one out, I realized I had 2 in there.

Itā€™s happened to more women than youā€™d think. As long as you got both out and feel okay, I wouldnā€™t worry about it.

Been there :joy:. Youā€™ll be fine as long as both are out.

Iā€™ve accidentally done this before also, years ago. Hubby and I laughed about it together. As long as you got them both out and arenā€™t feeling off at all, youā€™re okay.

You could risk yourself of having toxic shock syndrome, one of my friends died from having that in middle school :disappointed:

Ok so Iā€™ma be the weird one here.
Am I doing something wrong? I can NOT wear tampons they hurt so freaking bad.
I have tried every brand and every size and they still hurt so bad I canā€™t wear themā€¦
Anyone ever have this problem and know how to fix it?

You could always call a nurse. I would imagine they will ask you some questions.

Call dr not social media

How do you forget itā€™s in there? It has a string on it and you would feel it while trying to put another one in. Iā€™d say someoneā€™s looking for attention. šŸ¤·

Did this when I was drunk, accidentally put another one in when had one in already. Realized a couple hours later. But you should be fine.

Eww :sweat_smile: I use a cup. Much easier and more sanitary

First off I do not know how you can accidentally put 2 tampons in :joy:ā€¦(this actually happened to a friend of mine as well, but she had to get hers professionally removed)ā€¦ iā€™m pretty sure if you have no symptoms of toxic shock syndrom and BOTH tampons are out your most likely fine.

I think weā€™ve all done this at some point in our lives. It happens . Youā€™ll be fine :wink:

Iā€™ve done it. Was drunk woke up next day with 2. :flushed::fist_right: weird feeling. Lol you should be fine. If you start getting sick get seen asap.

I still donā€™t quite understand how you forget to take one out before putting another one in. I imagine that causes a shit ton of discomfort. Keep an eye out for fever or anything though you should be fine if you got them both out.

So glad someone finally asked this question :laughing: seriously, I have been so busy, mind wise, that after I had put one in I could not remember if I took the first one out :laughing:šŸ¤·. Always told myself after, well if something is going to kill me, itā€™ll be two tampons :laughing::laughing:

Legitimate question though. How does that happen? If I had two tampons in, Iā€™d know right away. Plus, wouldnā€™t you have felt the first string when you put the second one in? :open_mouth:

Itā€™s happened to me too

I did this before but my period was so heavy that they both only stayed in 3 hours tops. The first was in for 2 hours and the 2nd was in an hour.

I had this happen. String on first came off when inserted so I thought I had already taken it out when I put second in. Just shoved the first farther up. If you got both out you will be fine.

It is so comforting to hear that other women have done this, I thought I was the only one that had done that.

No, no you wonā€™t be okā€¦you literally forgot about two chunks of cotton inside your pussyā€¦how big is that thing to ā€œnot knowā€ whatā€™s in there? Sad. Please hand over your vagina, youā€™re not responsible.

All else fails, goto a doctor or a sexual health unit. With how long the first tampon was in would be the concerning bit

This has always been my fear lol like when I go out drinking i now only wear pads so when I go to pass out I never forget that one is in there

I have done it you will be ok. If yoy get to worried called the nurse line for doctor.

If you still believe that girls are made of sugar and spice and everything nice, just read this thread. :joy: Girl are gross. Grosser than guys sometimes. :joy::nauseated_face:

Did unget both out? Lol. Oh man haha. You will be ok.
I forgot I had one in onceā€¦it was in there from like 9pm, until almost 4pm the next day. I felt like a dumb ass. It happens. I completely forgot about it.
Lol :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

As long as youā€™re feeling ok then I would think youā€™ll be alright. But absolutely seek medical attention immediately if you feel any little bit off or sick. I worked in a nursing home for a while and one of the residents there was an elderly woman who had to have an entire hysterectomy and almost died from infection from that exact thing. She had forgotten she had a tampon in and put in another one. It caused the first one to get pushed really far back to where she couldnā€™t see or feel it. She developed an infection and went to the hospital. They diagnosed her with a simple bladder infection and sent her home. Like a week later she started urinating blood and was experiencing horrible pain. She called an ambulance for herself and she ended up needing emergency surgery once they realized what the problem was. Horrible story :pensive:

As long as you got both out - you should be okay. Watch for any symptoms though because TSS happens more often than people think.

I got drunk as shit one time and did thatā€¦
Didnt realize until the morning when I went to change it and pulled two out :joy: and Iā€™m still good

Honestly I think youā€™re going to be OK. TSS is not as big of a concern due to the different manufacturing method of tampons at this point. However do you be wary of any fever or chills you might experience
