you could need a doctor to remove it
There could be a risk of Toxic shock syndrome

The string really should not break as it is sewn all the way up inside the tampon itself. If it does break however you should be able to retrieve the tampon using your own (clean) fingers. If not then as embarrassing as it maybe you need to see a doctor to get the tampon out. Keeping it in will only increase your risk of TSS. The tampon won’t fall out of its own accord as it spreads out and fits snugly inside you.
TSS shows as flu like symptoms and progresses to more serious symptoms rapidly.
Some symptoms to watch for are:
Vomiting
Diarrhoea
Sunburn like rash
High fever
Dizziness
Muscle aches
Fainting or near fainting when standing up.
Skin peeling can occur at later stages of this illness
Go to your doctor if you are not able to get it out.

it shouldnt break apart.
if you left it in for a long time, then maybe that could happen, but its highly unlikely.
otherwise, if you used a very high absorbancy when you dont need it, and took it out, then yes little fibers might have gotten left behind.
the vagina is a self-cleaning organ. you dont need to douche or anything since it will mess up the current ph balance. a few strands of cotton will not hurt at all.
if huge chunks are in there, although the chances of that happening are near impossible, then you should get them removed by a doctor.

Try digging it out yourself or go to the gynecologist .douching would be the wrong thing to do a woman doesn't need to douche they have acids that cleans the vagina naturally. douches have been known to do more harm than good

You should pull them out....leaving them in could lead to an infection...I mean it might be nothing would happen and they will come out on their own but for me personally as gross as it sounds I would get them out.....if you dont want to put your finger up there to get them out then buy a douche....
