Is It Normal to Feel Like Your Tampon Is Falling Out?

Tampons may became more slippery as it absorbs with blood. As a result, it might slip out of place or feel like it's falling out. It's not necessarily a problem, but it is a hint that it's probably time to change your tampon.

That makes sense, but what if your tampon feels like it’s about to escape and it hasn’t even been in that long? That may be normal, too: Your body, and especially your vagina, may go through drastic changes in adulthood. These changes might affect how your tampon fits and feels.
