Can you pee, with a tampon in? Options

[O x LiseE x O]

Ya' know this question just hit me... suppose I have a tampon in, can I go pee with it in? Or is my tampon gonna get soaked in pee and I'm gonna have to change it?

There are no documented cases of infection from urinating while using a tampon. Urine itself is primarily salt water, and, unless there is some sort of problem, it contains no bacteria.

Some women change their tampons:


- after peeing;
- because of concern with possible odor from urine on the string;
- before bowel movements;
- whenever they feel discomfort;
- before or after showering or bathing;
- before or after swimming or engaging in strenuous physical activity;
- before sexual intercourse;
- when it's full of blood; or,
- after six to eight hours of use.

It's important that you do what makes you feel comfortable.
