Tampon rippage

So towards the end of my period when it was really very light I noticed when I was taking my tampons out it looked like the cotton was ripping off and some, not a lot but some, stayed behind. When I went and tried to see if I could find any pieces inside me I really could not find any. Now it's been a couple days later and I was checking again to see if I could find any, because I'm a nervous nelly about everything, and my discharge seems to have little pieces of cotton in it. There's no large pieces but some very tiny pieces. Should I be worried this will lead to tss? Is this common? Please help I'm very concerned!

I wouldn't worry.  If that DID happen, it's coming out in your discharge.  good luck
