What if a tampon gets stuck?
A tampon can’t get “stuck” inside you. After you put the tampon in, the muscles at the vaginal opening will hold it in place until you remove it by gently pulling on the string. If it feels hard to pull out, there are a few things to do: first, try to relax. You might be tense and “holding” your muscles. Second, you may want to leave the tampon in a little longer -it may not have absorbed enough menstrual fluid to become soft and pliable.
