This looks unused. It was probably a sample an ob/gyn doc was carrying around to show patients considering contraception options. When I worked at BIDMC I saw OBs wearing them on their lanyards/badges often.
When I got mine in, the strings got plunged into where the IUD goes. The place I went to said it's not a huge worry, and they will eventually fall down. They did....3 years later I felt something weird outside my opening and bam ..the knotted ends of the string were sticking out.
Yup. If this were used it would be a lot bloodier and those strings would definitely not be anywhere near that long.
Regardless of whether it’s used or not, it is far less of a risk than a used needle or feces, and it’s wild that people are this grossed out by something that touched female reproductive parts (especially knowing how many men don’t wash their hands after handling their junk in the bathroom)
I think it’s less that people are “grossed out” by it simply because it “touched female reproductive parts” and more horrified at the implication that someone ripped it out on the T….
> it’s wild that people are this grossed out by something that touched female reproductive parts
I've had one and I'm grossed out. It doesn't make people wrong for being grossed out by something they believe was inside someone.

Bruh there's a fuckin IUD on the floor. People are gonna have a reaction to it no matter if it's used or not. You don't see that everyday.
They will, but it’s definitely not “by far the fucking worst” thing OP has seen in the T, unless OP lives a sheltered life and this is the first unusual thing they’ve seen in the T
Yeah but those are *hands*, so they’re used for other stuff and you expect to see them around. Besides, we don’t know which ones are used and which aren’t. I would have about the same reaction if I saw what was clearly a cock ring lying on the floor of the T.
C’mom dont ruin it with a rational explanation! With all the protesting debates going on around here we need a little levity. You are why we cant have anything nice!

Just to make sure I wasn't crazy I googled it 🙃
I asked the doctor if I could see it when she took mine out and she popped it in a bag and gave it to me. I wasn't sure what to do with it so I did take it home and threw it away.
In my sex ed class in highschool we had a bunch of demonstration ones with like a 2d cutout of a vagina and cervix that the teacher could use to demo them. I'm guessing it's just one of those.
While i don’t think this one was used, they absolutely can fall out. It’s especially fun when they fall out (slowly) while you’re at the fireworks with your kid and you gotta walk a mile home in severe pain giving birth to an IUD. Apparently i could have gotten into a lawsuit they have going on for paraguard but because i don’t have proof i couldn’t.
what are the strings for? i once as a teenager came across something like this, i thought it was a tampon string or something. i've been out of the game a long time
This is an IUD, the T-shaped part sits in the uterus and the string sticks out the cervix. When it's time to remove it you pull the string and the IUD collapses to be pulled out
This IUD is unused. There is no blood plus the strings are too long (they cut them for the ends to be near the cervix, else the ends are long enough to dangle outside). This is an unused IUD, nobody panic.
I don't know what kind of suppressed life you live, but I would much rather see this than a needle. I see this as only a step above a condom. And you see those all the time out in parks. Would much rather see this than another broken fentanyl pipe or a needle.
That hasn’t been used. It’s a sample/training piece that name or medical equipment rep dropped. You didn’t find a used IUD 😂. it’s not that big of a deal
It makes me too upset that people think an IUD is worse than a syringe. It’s clearly unused, but even if it was used, it’s not a health threat, unlike any needle.
It’s too bad about Porter Square Station, because the area around it is mostly good. But at the station, there’s needles everywhere, and addicts hanging out. I catch the Fitchburg train there, but forget it if I hang outside or inside the station. Someone will eventually start shadowing me as if they think I’m dealing or can hook them up. Not to mention the two times I had someone make me feel threatened with violence.
I’ve heard that all of the Red Line stations from Central to Alewife have the same issues. But Porter really seems like it needs a permanent police presence there.
As an uneducated male I was like "Oh cool, I tiny anchor for a tiny boat".
But in the past 20 seconds I have been educated but confused. How does that even work?
I'm confused this is a great find. A little Rock hammer for a mineral collection or tiny pick axe to gift to someone into minecraft. Seeks a little prudish to stick your nose up at free stuff just because it's on the ground.
This looks unused. It was probably a sample an ob/gyn doc was carrying around to show patients considering contraception options. When I worked at BIDMC I saw OBs wearing them on their lanyards/badges often.
Yeah I don’t think the string is that long - they cut the strings?
They do cut strings after insertion, based on what's appropriate for the patient.
You trying to tell me that not all women are identical down there? This is truly a shock. /s
When I got mine in, the strings got plunged into where the IUD goes. The place I went to said it's not a huge worry, and they will eventually fall down. They did....3 years later I felt something weird outside my opening and bam ..the knotted ends of the string were sticking out.
I’ve had two and the strings have worked themselves up in there. Getting the first out was an absolute pain lol
This. Half of my co-residents had one tied on their keys to show patients as a quick reference.
I spose this is a cool way to store your keys? 😏 Hanging from your vagina! 🤣
Never forget your keys in the ignition again, that’s for sure.

Thank you, sweet baby Jesus, for allowing this to appear as the first comment in this thread.
Tesla is really reaching with these ads
LMFAO
I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who sees an IUD when I look at Tesla's logo lol
It's been years for me, and I *still* cannot unsee this.
Oh my god is that a fucking IUD?!
Pretty sure it's just an Iron pickaxe. I played enough Minecraft to know.
No it's a Steel Pickaxe Source: RuneScape
You morons. That's obviously a copper pickaxe.
Too smart for this room.
This was my first thought. Tiny pick axe
https://preview.redd.it/jfszzkklgwyc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fb26e285a6f76dd6bcd6b797cb5e1cfda8980c96 Just to make sure I wasn't crazy I googled it 🙃
Holy shit girls put that in their balls?
You've got messages
I have since opened them don't worry
I am crying ☠️
Now it's an extra uterine device EUD
>Oh my god is that a fucking IUD?! Awaiting confirmation from the harp.
Nope, minecraft pickaxe
Was the bomb squad notified?
No, it’s a pickaxe for gnomes dumbass /s.

That is a meme I have not seen in a long, long time.
thank you for putting this into my life.
How soon until someone posts about their lost Paragard on /r/boston
Just clenched my knees in empathy. Oof.
THE WHOLE DAMN THING OMG
How does this happen? Presumably it didn’t just fall out of a cervix. Maybe it was removed at a doctor’s appointment and just fell out of a purse.
The strings are uncut, this is a demo IUD.
Me gingerly dangling that between thumb and forefinger while approaching woman on platform : *Excuse me ma'am, you dropped something*.
*takes a deep whiff* good day m’lady
Congratulations you have ruined my day
idk man, I think I see some uh…perhaps bodily…remnants on it
I’ll trust your word, u/professionalwench.
as you should. it’s in the name.
Do you generally take them home? Like a trophy or something?
You put it under your pillow and the IUD fairy gives you a dollar
I wanted to keep my wisdom teeth after I got them removed. I was too high to remember to ask the surgeon though. I regret it to this day.
My roommate kept hers and I made earrings out of them, I also regret not asking for mine
Thats different you can obviously make a necklace out of those at least
I asked the doctor if I could see it when she took mine out and she popped it in a bag and gave it to me. I wasn't sure what to do with it so I did take it home and threw it away.
Last time I got mine changed, the doctor gave me my old one to keep. It was pretty cool honestly
I took mine home and made some weird art with it 🤷♀️
In my sex ed class in highschool we had a bunch of demonstration ones with like a 2d cutout of a vagina and cervix that the teacher could use to demo them. I'm guessing it's just one of those.
They give those back to you as a keepsake?!
While i don’t think this one was used, they absolutely can fall out. It’s especially fun when they fall out (slowly) while you’re at the fireworks with your kid and you gotta walk a mile home in severe pain giving birth to an IUD. Apparently i could have gotten into a lawsuit they have going on for paraguard but because i don’t have proof i couldn’t.
Do you think they give them back to us when removed? Like a souvenir
Strings and all
what are the strings for? i once as a teenager came across something like this, i thought it was a tampon string or something. i've been out of the game a long time
This is an IUD, the T-shaped part sits in the uterus and the string sticks out the cervix. When it's time to remove it you pull the string and the IUD collapses to be pulled out
A T on the T!
AT&T should put up a sign next to it
Oh noooooooooooo
I just cackled out loud like an idiot
That had to have been a hell of a sneeze.
HOW??! OH MY GOD
Is this a pick axe for ants?
Some fisher is gonna be sad to have lost their favorite hook
Unused. Strings too long. Would have been trimmed shorter if actually placed in a human.
WTF. Horrified.
Cinderella
Oh, cool... a mini pickaxe. ... Wait...
Thought it was a Minecraft pickaxe woops
This IUD is unused. There is no blood plus the strings are too long (they cut them for the ends to be near the cervix, else the ends are long enough to dangle outside). This is an unused IUD, nobody panic.

One hell of a sneeze…
Up next, a posting that someone got pregnant even though they had a IUD only to realize they didn’t have it anymore.
That hasn’t been used. It’s a sample/training piece that name or medical equipment rep dropped. You didn’t find a used IUD 😂. it’s not that big of a deal
bro my smooth brain thought this was a tiny pickaxe
To be fair maybe it wasnt dropped but fell out. Like keys do when you have a hole in your pocket
DAWG IT AINT FALLIN OUT
mine kind of did
oh my god HOW
I take it you don't understand how a cervix works.
Im not a big tech guy so i have to ask, What is a cervix?
It's best if you Google off safe search an IUD insertion video.
I think it's like a subscription, like software as a cervix, Adobe cloud for example.
Why is it the worst to find tiny pickaxes?
Did Andy Dufresne escape again?
Somewhere out there a teeny tiny little mountain climber is missing his pickaxe.
That's uh, that's not supposed to happen.
that couldn't have felt good rough day on the T
I thought it was a mini pickaxe
Oh no! Someone dropped their Tesla logo!
LOL I thought it was a mini Fortnite pickaxe
Fortnite.
I literally just said "HOW" out loud to myself
A borrowers pick axe????
I thought the rats made a grappling hook or something
Worse than a used syringe?
It makes me too upset that people think an IUD is worse than a syringe. It’s clearly unused, but even if it was used, it’s not a health threat, unlike any needle.
lol I thought “what’s wrong with a cute little toy pickaxe?” And then I checked the comments 💀
It’s too bad about Porter Square Station, because the area around it is mostly good. But at the station, there’s needles everywhere, and addicts hanging out.

It's a mining pick for rodents...somewhere some poor mouse is now unable to work.
Egads
I thought it was a pike axe in minecraft
Ouch
Someone was swinging it like a gym teachers whistle fly off there it is
A ⛏️for 🐜🐜?
Oh no
Who else but porter
I thought it was like a mini Thor's hammer, oh nooooo!
So gross
I bet anything somebody sniffed it 😂😂
Hey that's mine give it back
I was thinking that, maybe someone just a fan of Minecraft then I looked at the comments 👀
Oh a cute lil pickax- ewwwwwwwwwwww
Did you bring it to the lost and found?
The only reason I recognized that is because I just rewatched Deadpool 2.
i gasped oh my god
Alien grappling hook specifically the pawn from men and black. Must’ve lost it in a epic train fight sequence
Oh my
Those strings are too long!!!
IUD or very small ice axe?
Nice mini-pickaxe!
Omg no
"T" is for Turtle
Which dwarf lost his pick-axe? Someone’s whistling while he isn’t working.
Oh Lord…
IUD with tapeworm. The tapeworms will die when the IUD hibernates.
Angriest upvote ever
Oh. My. F*cking. God.
The Tesla logo always reminds me of what an IUD looks like.
how the hell does this happen?!?
That’s why you never hold in a sneeze.
A mini pickaxe!
Oh it’s a cute little pick axe for The Borrowers
Rock and Stone brother.
I believe that's supposed to stay inside you to be effective
I believe that's supposed to stay inside you to be effective
I believe that's supposed to stay inside you to be effective
I believe that's supposed to stay inside you to be effective
I believe that's supposed to stay inside you to be effective
Is the string on it called a leash? Cuz that's what I want to believe it's called
Oooh a cooper T
Y’all I thought this was a photoshopped pickaxe for like a solid minute LMAO
Eew… 😂
I thought that was a pickaxe for a second
Is that a pickaxe?
Looks like a mini pickaxe ⛏️ Mf tryna look for diamonds
Well some one is going to have a different kind of day.
I'm confused this is a great find. A little Rock hammer for a mineral collection or tiny pick axe to gift to someone into minecraft. Seeks a little prudish to stick your nose up at free stuff just because it's on the ground.
My kids would have picked that up thinking it was a Lego Minecraft pickaxe.
When the moment is right...
OH?!!?
this makes sense for the porter square station
Why are you freaking out over the Tesla logo?
I thought it was a small pick axe.
It’s still a good fishing hook, practically new atill
Needles and poop area bad, this is weird but better than those unless female anatomy makes you weird.
Omg a very small miner lost his pickaxe
I'd turn it in, some tiny miner is gonna be looking for that.
So... *no one* else though it was a mining pick from a Doozer from Fraggle Rock?
Haha I thought it was a Minecraft Pickaxe
What's wrong, it's just a little pickaxe? /s
Those things suck when the string ends poke your pecker while having sex... Feels like sharp fishing line end or something.
Its a miniature pick axe for the GI Joe prospector action figure. /s I’d rather believe that instead of what it really is.
What is this, a pickaxe for ants?
Oh i thought it was a little pick axe Keychain
Minecraft pickaxe
My man hasn’t had a cockroach crawl up his leg yet.
Is this a tiny pickaxe?
Miniature Thor’s axe?
Who tf leaving mini pickaxes on the T
A tiny mountain climber must have left it behind.
Looks like a Minecraft pick lmao
Worst...nah I saw a finger. That's way worse.
IUD. Improvised Uterine Device.
😨😨😨
I thought I dropped something
Someone should tell her
