What happens if the tampon string breaks?
Tampon string is nearly impossible to break
If you hold a tampon and pull really hard on the string, you’ll find that it’s nearly impossible to break. If you can’t find the string whilst the tampon is inside you, the tampon can be easily removed by inserting a finger and thumb into the vagina and pulling it out. Remember to relax and stand in the same position that you used to insert it and it should be easy. If you still can’t remove the tampon, see your doctor the same day.
