No, you're okay as long as you got the tampons out and don't feel as if you are experiencing any symptoms of TSS. In the future, please remember to take one tampon out before putting in another one! Also, it might be better to sleep with a pad on instead of a tampon in because that way you can sleep longer without having to worry about getting up to change a tampon or TSS. It's really up to you though.

The good news is that as you don`t feel sick and have removed them both you will be fine. The person who says you are being silly is just not caring & understanding. This can happen, & easier than you may think!! It can be dangerous as blood poisoning, i.e., Toxic Shock Syndrome, can occour after blood is left in there for over 8 hrs. Luckily in your case it hasn`t hapened.
It`s fortunate you found the 1st tampon, or it could have been a lot more serious.

Yes you are fine! It was EXTREMELY dangerous, but if you had TSS (Toxic Shock Syndrome) you would have felt it right away. I have forgotten to take tampons out before (the longest was probably 11 hours), but nothing happened thankfully. Next time, remember to take the tampon out :-D lol

You are probably okay. Toxic shock syndrome can occur with a tampon that is not changed.

Hello there, dont worry im a girl and a nurse:) If your not feeling ill, and you dont have a temperture, dont stress about it. if your really worried about it maybe consult your GP. I wouldnt be stressing, although, please be more careful in the future.
