A member asked:
I went to sleep with a tampon in and when i woke up it was gone! i didn't feel anything "up there" and its not in my bed or anything. where did it go?!

Gyn can check: The vagina is a closed tube so a tampon can not get lost. If you are concerned it may still be inside then feel with your finger or have your gynecologist look for you.
