A member asked:
Should i douche after a "lost tampon"?? im assuming i should not put another tampon in until my cycle is finished?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lost Tampon: No you should never douche. The vagina is self cleaning. If you truly have lost a tampon, meaning it may still be in your vagina then you need to see your GYN or FP. Or if it has been greater than 24 hours the ER as this could result in toxic shock syndrome.
