did any of you with the rude answers ever stop to think that maybe this question was posted by someone who has not yet learned about the cycle/ just got her first or one of her first periods and is therefore probably pretty young? I highly doubt every young woman at the 10- 15 age range knows absolutely everything about her anatomy- specifically a part of it that up til now she has probably had very little information on. Give the kid a break and go waste your time elsewhere.
Anyway, if you do happen to get some urine on the string of the tampon, gently dab the wetness out with toilet paper.

You can leave it in but there is a risk of contamination from the urine seeping up the tampon into the vagina. That could cause infection or some serious irritation.

IT is wise to remove the tampon before urinating. Because if you urinate keeping it, Bladder would not be empty properly. Although the passage is different.

Yes, you can urinate while wearing a tampon. The urethra is a tiny small and slightly above the vagina

yes, you can use the bathroom with a tampon in. you do not urinate out of your vagina, so there is no need to remove the tampon.

Of course you can leave it in. If you pee 20 times a day you'll be using 20 tampons. That's way too much.

absolutely. the urethra, from you you urinate is the orifice above your vagina, which is where the tampon goes. the tampon isn't going to budge when you urinate, so you're absolutely fine.

you can leave it in because the urine and the blood from the period come out of two different areas.
