I do NOT pee with a tampon in. You’re already at risk for bacteria just because of the tampon, I definitely aint about to risk it further.

Either change it every time or hold the string from behind while you pee. It’s awkward, but when tampons are scarce you do what you have to!

Change it every time… If cost is an issue go with the diva cup or pads it just that simple… It’s really unsanitary and unsafe to leave it after you peed all over it…I’m not trying to sound mean or rude so please don’t take it that way.

Women don’t pee out of the same place the blood comes from, so therefore, the tampon doesn’t get soaked with pee. I don’t use tampons, but I would say use the tissue to squeeze strings and use a panty liner.

I’m not sure what everyone thinks their anatomy looks like but a tampon is pushed alot higher then your urethra so it doe not soak up pee. It would be best practice for it to be changed everytime you go to the toilet but if someone has urinary urgency and pees more regularly it may not be practical for them to do that and I don’t think it’s right for you to be judging someone for that.

If you just move the string there’s absolutely no reason to remove it every time you urinate 🤷

I don’t use tampons anymore (team menstrual cup here - honestly it’s a game changer) but when I did, I would always remove the tampon when I had a wee.

Never had an issues with pee string and had no idea this was even a thing 
I pee a lot, as I drink a lot of water throughout the day so it’s never really occurred to me to change it every.single.time.

Push the string in too. 
I pee a lot, so changing it every time would be wasteful, and cost a shit ton. So, tuck the string in. I hate how it catches throughout the day if I dont.
**Edit to say they also sell stringless tampons! But I dont like the idea of the possible mess. Lol

Wear a panty liner and change it when you pee?
You can try tucking the string when you pee or using toilet paper to dry it if you can’t afford to change it every time

I believe instructions in box says you don’t have to remove it. If you start having such a big issue with soaked panties, change the tampon every time based on your ability and circumstances. Play it by ear

Change the tampon. It’s unsanitary to leave it in for too long anyways. And having a wet string with pee on it between your legs afterwards is gross. Hold the string with toilet paper while you pee and it won’t get wet bc urine comes out a completely different hole than blood does.

I pull the string to the side, or change it. I mean if I’ve just recently put it in I’m not gonna waste it. Diva cups are also an option. I could never get comfortable using one myself, I was always worried it would leak.

What do you gain by commenting something negative.
I change mine each time I use the loo.
Although the manufacturers say you can use one tampon for up to 6 hours… I would leak and always need to change every hour or so! So its easier to change it and prevent a wet string!

I always change mine after I pee. So, I never had to worry about that.
Lets keep in mind that there could be many different reasons she has this question. For example, if she had a parent who was very over bearing and controlling or perhaps made this type of topics off-limits, then she would be learning everything basically on her own because maybe she also did not have a good support system of friends that she felt comfortable asking. I had a friend who didn’t know you didn’t insert the applicator and just leave it inside of her. She only mentioned that tampons were quite painful and the conversation opened from there, probably because I didn’t shame her. I mean, it really costs nothing to be kind people. It was a simple question.

Move the string to the side it’s what I do when I have to pee. I recently started using a disc and I don’t need to worry about that no more. The disc is a healthier option as well no risk of toxic shock. I’ve hear a diva cup is good I just prefer not to use them on myself. There’s thin panty liners called dailies that you can’t feel while wearing them also.

Push the string “in” or pull it to the back because your “pee hole” is more towards the front
Tuck it between your butt cheeks

I am unsure of how so many women wear tampons and or pads and do not know their anatomy? Your tampon does NOT soak up urine. You urinate out of the urethral opening which is right above the vaginal opening and right below the clitoris if you insert the tampon correctly it should be deep enough at a 45 degree angle that when you urinate it does not touch the tampon. Your tampon does not need to be changed every time you use the restroom only every 4-6 hours but NO LONGER than 8. Cut your tampon string just enough that you can still pull it out but short enough that you do not get it wet. It’s not disgusting to leave a tampon in after you use the restroom. I am also not judging those who do remove and replace after every restroom but tampons were made and are safe enough to leave in between restroom use. They are too expensive to be as wasteful as every use. Whatever makes you comfortable but please be more informed than to go as far as calling it “disgusting” and to literally think they “soak up pee”.

If your string is getting soaked with urine then the tampon is soaking urine up into your vagina. I pull the string back and hold between my butt cheeks, pee, and pull the string back out from between my butt cheeks and if some how urine gets on the string I take the tampon out.

Change the tampon when you pee. Yes, you can use one for up to 6 hours. But, it is dangerous to do so. You can die or be hospitalized for it. I can’t remember the exact name it’s called. But you can probably look it up on Google. It can be pretty serious.
I used pantyliners to help with that when I used tampons ,but now I use a menstrual cup and dont have to worry about it

Wtf? People pee with a tampon in and leave it in? That sounds very uncomfortable especially leaving a wet string it. Usually when you use a tampon you’re supposed to switch them out every time you use the restroom. If you don’t feel like switching it out maybe stick with pads but even then you should switch those out too.

Some Brands dont have strings, I’d look there. My period is unpredictable. I could be bleeding heavily and put in a regular tampon, only to have it dry and painful to remove when I use the restroom. Other times I have to use the restroom excessively and it’s not enough time to fill a tampon. I had to leave tampons behind and use a diva cup. Hope you find a solution!
I change everytime i use the bathroom…
I like how when it’s pregnancy or after birth related there’s always a hop in my inbox comment or a whole load of support but when it’s embarrassing women problems then there’s not a lot of support, a lot of women arnt actually taught how to use tampons or even much about their body’s so it’s a bit unfair people practically laughing I can’t use tampons so I can’t offer advice but some people are so judgey it’s awful

Typically if I don’t have to change, I will wipe, then I use some TP to dry the string, then wipe again to tuck it away
I hold the string or make sure to place the string away from my vagina when pulling panties high . I struggled with pee incontinence after my first daughter . And my periods were always medium flow and never heavy enough to fill the tampons quickly . And taking the tampons out every time caused me pain because they’d be dry and rub me wrong .
