Any fever, symptoms?: If there's no symptoms - pain, fever, smelly discharge, etc., you can consider yourself lucky. This is a way women can suffer toxic shock. If you didn't - great! But you also might want to schedule an internal exam just to be sure all is fine. Try to find a good way to keep track so it doesn't recur. I'm glad it's not been a bad problem. Be careful!
