Today, after a long shift at work, I got home feeling sick and nauseous. I went to remove the tampon I'd had in all day and go to bed, but I literally uncorked myself. There was blood everywhere... on the floor, all over my legs, even on the walls. Everywhere I look, I find more. FML

Thanks for support and backup. Because I am aware of the risks of TSS but I just simply didn’t have time to change my tampon, and yes I had a pad also. Also the first time it’s happened to me, so just a bad and very messy day, I’m usually much more hygienic with those sorts of things.

i imaginwnyou might know by now but be careful to go to the hospital if you think you might have Toxic Shock Syndrome

You need to change your tampon every few hours otherwise you could get toxic shock syndrome. That's probably at least part of why you felt sick.

if you are an adult women and you leave a tampon in that long it's your own fault. Even if you didnt have someone teach you about your period and hygiene they teach you at school starting in fourth grade for almost every public school. 12 year olds are more hygienic then you.

Another reason why I prefer pads to tampons.
