The (Awesome) Lost Tampon Instructional Video from Doc Gurley
Posted by Rachel on October 27, 2008
Doc Gurley, internist and Harvard med school grad, has created an awesome and humorous instruction video for those concerned about lost tampons – something she and I both have discussed on the blogs. The video explains how to know if you’ve lost a tampon, where it might have gone, and what to do, including advice for safely attempting to remove it yourself at home. I love this, and will just say that Gurley makes excellent use of props.
You can watch the full video at Doc Gurley’s blog, or in two parts via the embedded YouTube videos below.

Very good. Annoying background music, though. When she was in the ballcourt the echo and the music together totally drowned out what she said.

Susanna, I think she was planning on putting up a second version with no music, as well.

THANK YOU a million times for this forum and the video! I am now joining the ranks of the MIA Tampon Club only after I had to have the most embarrassing, horrific, “scent” during a good time with my man. I didn’t realize that the source was the elusive tampon… I googled and searched and figured it was “BV” a common bacterial infection that we as women are oh so fortunate to get. I called my doctor, got some Metrogel, and felt as if all would be fine. Thankfully, I used the gel and within 15 minutes of application when I went to the bathroom, I felt something emerging from my…. well, you know… and lo & behold – found the source floating in the potty. It had been a week and several sessions of love making with my man… so I’m assuming it was stuck pretty well. The gel must have been the key to dislodging it – thank goodness! It hasn’t been 24 hours yet but I’m hoping to be “100% fresh” soon! By the way, even the Yankee Candle air freshener is no match for this aroma. I’m thinking of inventing the tampon jewel clip. Ya gotta love being a woman!!!
