Has anyone ever told you something you just didn't want to know?
When I was a teenager my mum told me the beautiful story of how her sister-in-law (my Auntie) was experiencing pain during sexual intercourse with my uncle so she went to the doctor after a few days and he proceeded to give her an internal examination. After being down their a few minutes he extracted a bloody, smelly tampon that my Auntie had forgotten to take out when her period finished. It had been there three weeks.
It certainly scared me into never making the same mistake, although I've always wondered:
a. How thick must you be to leave a tampon inside you for three weeks
b. Why did my Auntie tell anyone? She only speaks to my Mum once a year so it can't have exactly just come up in conversation!
Gross and weird, and I didn't need to know.
