Left tampon in for wayy too long?

Question

its been in for some 21 hours now...mind that its probably my last day of my period so thats probably why i forgot.

im not light headed and i dont have a fever or anything...how long will it take for me to find out if i have tss or not? do symptoms occur quickly?

Answer 1

my advice: take it out now. even if you're not feeling sick, these products should not be left inside for over 12-18 hours.

Answer 2

You're probably fine, TSS is really rare.  If you were to get sharp cramping and abdominal pain - way beyond anything you'd expect with your period, and you were to spike a high fever, THEN you need to get to an ER.  Otherwise, no worries.

Just change 'em more often, OK?  Don't take chances.  

And a note to the girl who left one in for 2 weeks.  Why??

Answer 3

TSS is extremely rare and if you're typing this right now without feeling anything, you're fine.

Answer 4

LOL youd know if you had tss!!

chill out hun, take it out. Go take a shower and have a nap.

Next time be more careful... dont want to even think about the smell :S

ewww.

Answer 5

I am sure you would know if you had tss. You would get other symptoms along with it. It will be fine.

Answer 6

wow um like ask ur doctor... or that other Doctor.... u know... it really could get bad and no u cant notice right away and some other symptoms are a rash like sunburn and a high fever which are way worse than being light headed

Answer 7

I left one in for 2 weeks so you are probably ok. Be on the lookout for a high fever.
