Hello,
Usually retained tampons do show up when you insert your hand to certain depth for sure. If the same is not found even by your husband that indicates it has been dropped outside body without your notice. If there is retained tampon, you will get fever, foul smelling discharge through vagina via infection and other features. To remove any doubt, kindly get examined by an expert OBGYN nearby you.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
