Can a tampon break off inside you?

Shark Atack Asked by funadvice over 2 years ago, 4 answers.

can a piece of a tampon break off inside of you but the rest off it come out? I am not saying that this happened but about a month ago I started using tampons and it hurt so damn bad oh my god but it still hurts down there and I was just wondering if a...

piece can break off in you cause I took it out but like it was not in there all the way and the tampon didn't look any different it was only in for 2 hours and I put another one after I took it out but had to take it out to cause it hurt a lot and I hate them so I went back to pads. but I still wanted to know if a piece of it could get break off while inside you but the rest off it come off and it looked the same as it did when I put it in so I don't know.

I can almost guarantee you 100% it hurt you because it wasn't in far enough. As harley said, you also may be using the wrong size. Don't use the big ones if you have a light flow. Pretty straight forward, if you still feel like you're not doing it right, ask your mom or another woman who is like a mom to you. Oh, and tampons don't break off!!

I've been using tampons for over 30 years and none have ever broken off, but if you use the wrong size towards the end of your period, they can leave some residue of the cotton wool that they are made of. But these pieces are so small and will come out and nothing to worry about. Just make sure that as your period lightens up you use smaller sizes. But the tampon will never break off. If the tampon hurt then you hadn't inserted it in far enough. You may need a smaller size tampon like regular or mini.

This actually just happened to me a couple hours ago. I usually use the really small OB tampons, but I began using big applicator ones. It was hard to pull out, and about a third of it is stuck up there. I think I feel it?? I don't know what to do!! I have a baby and breastfeed and I don't want to get toxic shock syndrome (if that could affect her anyway...)

This just happened to me last night. When I took it out, it didn't hurt at all, but the top part was missing. It looked like the end had been cut off. I can't feel it in me. I also felt inside and so did my husband and neither of us could feel it. I emailed my gyno today and told her. So I'm just waiting to hear back from her.
