do u have to remove ur tampon every time u go to the bathroom or can u pee wit it inside u?????

Answer 1

No. Urine comes through the urethra; "stool" when you defecate, comes through the anus. These are two separate openings. The tampon goes into the vagina – another opening between the urethra and anus. You might want to move the string out of the way when you go, though. If you're going to urinate, pull the string to the back or side, and if you're going to defecate, pull it to the front. (By the way, remember, to prevent infections always wipe from front to back when you go to the bathroom.)

Answer 2

FYI the tampon is inserted into a different..."area" than the area where urine comes out, so you can go to the bathroom while the tampon stays inside you. You dont have to remove your tampon everytime you go to the bathroom. If that was the case the avg woman would go through a box of 16 in a few days versus one box for a good 2-3 month usage...

Answer 3

There is no need to remove a tampon prior to urinating or having a bowel movement. Each female has three separate openings; the urinary, the vaginal and the anal opening. Therefore, a tampon which is placed in the vagina will not affect your using the bathroom. While urinating, the cord may be held to one side so it won’t become wet. If it does become damp, however, it can simply be dried with a piece of tissue.

Answer 4

no you don't have to remove it. You won't get pee on it like that idiot above me. how could you it is inside you. Do you pee from the inside? Your tampon should be changed every 6 hours or you could get TSS toxic shock syndrome. That is a build up of bacteria which can make you very ill.

Answer 5

you can pee with it inside you, it's in a different hole. There is nothing gross about peeing with a tampon in, changing the thing is gross no matter how you look at it, so do hurt your self by pulling out a dry tampon just because you gotta pee. And pee is considered sterile (it shouldn't have any bacteria in it), so infection from pee shouldn't be a consideration.

Answer 6

The tampon goes inside the vagina. Pee comes out of the urinary opening, which is above the vagina. These two holes are completely seperate, allowing you to wear the tampon and pee at the same time.

Answer 7

You can leave it in, but then the next time you change it, you have to hold a yucky, pee soaked string. It's actually safer for you to change it every time you go to the bathroom. It keeps the bacteria population low and will help with infection control.

Answer 8

If you have it inserted correctly you can go without any problems but normally it is good to change the tampon every time you use the toilet. Young girls should not use tampons. Wear the smaller ones to prevent illness and odors.

Answer 9

You don't have to remove them until they are saturated and you need a new one to do the job (no more than 6-8 hours, though).

You're already getting major menstrual fluid on it, so who cares about a little pee? You should be washing your hands afterward anyway!

Answer 10

I have never been able to keep it in when I pee. It always seems to slip. I think that if you have no problems with it can you probably keep it in as long as you aren't leaving it in too long so that you would get toxic shock syndrome. If you are prone to bladder infections or kidney infections I would take it out everytime. If you are concerned you might go to the company website (i.e. www.tampax.com) and ask the company.
