Today, I put a tampon in. The string broke. I had to go to the hospital to get it out. FML

Today, my tampon string was hanging from my bathing suit. My boyfriend thought it was a thread hanging from my bikini bottom. He publicly pulled out my tampon. FML

Out of it
Today, I'm sick with a fever, and on my cycle I was too tired and forgot to change my tampon, and ended up putting another one in. I woke up to go to the bathroom and ended up pulling two out. FML

My stupidity
Today, I got my period and went clubbing. I had to change my tampon and stupidly I only brought one. When I unwrapped it, it fell on the floor. I had to wait in the womens' bathroom for 45 minutes for a random girl to give me a spare. FML

Today, I was mugged while changing my tampon. The mugger took everything, including the fresh tampon. FML

How? Why?
Today, I was faced with the inevitable horrible circumstances which lead me to put in a tampon on a moving city bus. FML

Today, I was changing my tampon in a public toilet. When I threw away the used one and opened a new one, it turned out that it had no thread on it! I took another one out. Again, defective! It was the last one I had with me, and it was the second day of my period. FML

Today, I pulled a white cloth with string on the end from my dog's mouth. I then realized I was holding my sister's used tampon. FML

Today, I was changing my tampon in a public bathroom. As I was about to put the tampon into the sanitary bin, I dropped it and it rolled under the stall next to mine. It was occupied. FML

you couldn't just use your fingers? the string shouldn't really be necessary...

use OB! those have never failed me! and if anything like this happens again, wait until it has filled itself with blood, sit down on the toilet and push!

Use OB? That's what I use, and if this chick is to scared of her own anatomy to pull a tampon out with her own fingers, she sure as heck isn't comfortable enough with her own body to insert a tampon without an applicator, which is what you do with OB.

Which is exactly why you ALWAYS test the string first before putting it in...

WHAT?!!? Are you serious? I always push my tampons out. Every single time. I cut the string off every single tampon I ever use. This is the stupidest thing I've heard in my life. Being afraid to put your own fingers in your own ******- especially in a case like this- is just absurd and idiotic. If you're that terrified of your own vag, you shouldn't be sexually active and you should be wearing pads. Jesus.

"Test the string" before you use it? Are you for real? It's not a parachute- you're not going to die if the string breaks, weirdo. "HOLD ON!! I HAVE TO TEST THE STRING BECAUSE WHAT IF I HAVE TO TOUCH MY OWN ******?!!!" This is actually funny.

You've got to be kidding me. The hospital? wtf? Are you that freaking scared of your own anatomy? Maybe you should just switch to pads, seeing as every time something happens to a tampon string, it's gonna cost you $500+ on a trip to the ER evidently.

Wow. You definitely didn't have to go to the hospital, there are other ways to get a tampon out.
