No one forgets to remove them at the end of her period. It does happen but it is extremely rare. I'm a woman, and a R.N. and the risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome is from leaving your tampons in too long DURING your period, using a higher absorbency tampon than you need (therefore leaving it in longer than you should), and from using tampons at all. TSS is very rare. It became well-known because around 1980 a new and really absorbent and effective tampon was introduced to the market. It was called Rely. (I was there.) They worked so well that women could leave them in longer, thus there was a sharply increased number of cases, some fatal, in the USA. The Rely brand of tampons were pulled from the market and many studies were done. It was determined that cases of TSS happened also with other brands of tampons, too. Thus the CDC requires all brands of tampons to contain a brightly-colored warning on the box insert (the folded sheet of paper which explains how to use them.) My TED talk 😘

First trip to Europe was in the Nethelands with my bike. A mountain bike, 18 speeds and all! Steepest hill: an overpass.... I tried to sell my bike at one point. I couldn’t. Who needs a 18 speed mountain bike there? A 80 years old grandma passed by me on the fietspad on a one speed bike...
aaaahahaha "Don't make eye contact!" YES! NOBODY OUTSIDE OF THE STATE SMILES ON THE STREET! IT'S WEIRD, PEOPLE!!!
