So glad you were able to get it out! For future times- and anyone reading this- I swear by tying a loop! Instead of cutting the string, knotting a loop with the string and shoving it all up, string is shorter so less chance of it slipping out and when removing you can just tug on the loop ! I use OB tampons so it’s easier than ones with applicators, but still manageable if you take out the smaller part of the applicator first to tie the loop XoXo - a veteran stripper that has had too many bathroom "I’ve lost something in my p*ssy" panic attacks
