A member asked:
In inches how far up does your cervix go? i once had a ob small tampon get lost up their for 2 weeks then slid out on its own. scary.

Impossible story: This is not what happened. Lost tampons are well known in medicine. They hide or get squished up under the posterior part of the cervix and get forgotten. It is impossible for a cervix to be open in any way for a tampon to get into it.
