I can't believe a doctor would say that! That's unprofessional! It might be even something one could sue for, but I'm not saying it is or that you should. I just find it really degrading and inappropriate.

I've never heard of wearing two tampons at the same time, but as some of us have stated, we've worn two pads at the same time. I understand your embarrassment, but it's understandable that you might forget one when you wear two. At least you survived...I'd rather be embarrassed than disabled or dead, although when you're embarrassed, sometimes you want to die.
