please only answer if this has happened to you.
I need to know what you would do if you were using a tampon and the string all of a sudden broke leaving the tampon in you and no way to get it out? what would you do? It happened to me, but luckily it oly broke half of the string. What could I do to get the tampon out when the string has already broken and I have no way to get it out? Thanks!!!

You can try reaching in with your fingers, but if you can't get it out Go to your doctor. Whatever you do, DO NOT use tweezers or anything else to try to get it out. You could wind up causing damage.

If you think about it they came out with OB tampons no strings. but to answer your original question. Even if the string breaks off eventually the tampon will work it's way down to opening from the weight of what it is catching to give enough of an edge to grab and remove. most tampons do not go in so far that they are totally up there so to speak.Yes it has happened to me and I had no problem.

Hmm, not good. I've been able to get tampons out without pulling them, by using my PC muscles. If you've ever done Kegals, they are the same muscles. Push like you have to pee, then release, push like you have to pee, then release. Otherwise, squat and see if you can reach. You could go to the doctor or urgent care as well. Or try an advice nurse which my doctor provides...

Well you really only have two choices. Your vagina isn't that deep so technically you could reach in there and grab hold and pull it out. If you are unable to reach it then you really have no other choice (unless you have a really good friend or hubby willing to help) but to go to the ER. Believe me they see this kind of thing all the time.

Go to the ER if the tampon is completely stuck. It happens more often than you would think.

well the tampon cannot get "lost" inside you, and so you have no worries on where it is going, just how to get it out.
Uhm.. the easiest is the grossest.. stick your fingers up there and take it out!

Squat, spread your legs wide open, prepare a mirror on the floor and then use tweezer. PULL the tampon slowly.
