One time when I was a much younger gosling in my 20s, I had a mishap with a tampon. It was a light flow tampon, so it was one of the small ones. I had put it in and apparently I was over my cycle so I had completely forgotten about it. About a week later, my boyfriend and I were having sex and a terrible rotten smell was emanating from my vag. It literally smells like something and crawled up there and died. I was super embarrassed, but I knew I had to get to the bottom of it . Later that night in the shower, I decided to fish around in there to see if I could find anything and lo and behold, I found a string. When I pulled it out… VOILA! ROTTEN SLED! I gaged so hard on the putrid cotton, it literally looked like a piece of rotting flesh, but the bottom was still a little bit white... like a sled covered in snow Urban Dictionary
