Well women of iin, is this normal?

(WOMEN ONLY)
Well I was wondering about tampons and what other girls do. I change mine all the time when I got to the bathroom or take a shower etc.
What about you?
Is it normal to just leave them in after peeing/taking a shower? Or do you replace them with new ones?
Id think the peeing one was nasty because the string of the tampon is all pissed on so I change mine all the time. I take it out before I go then replace it when I'm done.

  • Some people take theirs out, some don't. Either way it's normal. I don't until it's 4-8 hours, but some people do really often.

    hm as long as you don't pee on the string I guess its fine leaving it in...nothing is wrong with what you do :)

    however one should not sleep with tampons. and it shouldnt be dry when you pull it out...

    When I pee I just pull the string away from my urethra. I do change it when I take a shower though.

    Don't change it too often people! If its too dry when you take it out then your just upping your chance of TSS. Clean is good but you could really mess yourself up if your not careful

    I always take mine out in the shower but just hold the string to the side. Maybe it's just cuz I drink a ton of water haha but I change it often enough

    I've never used tampons. I use pads, which when you think about it, is rather nasty because, you're sitting in your menstrual and it is getting over everything.

    Keep that shit clean. Pull some strings, get it done.

    Pee isn't dirty. Urine is sterile when it leaves the body.

    I don't change it unless it's full, if i poo then i move the string of course but apart from that...

    If you go to the washroom with a tampon in, it will absorb the urine, mixing that with your period blood probably isn't very hygenic.

    Yes, although Ive never showered with one IN. If u pee with one, the string absorbs the pee & they leak. Gross, so u should change them.

      The string can't absorb the pee, idiot. It's non-absorbent.

    Also yes I change mine everytime I use the bathroom or shower. It is gross otherwise

    I change mine every time I go pee. It's gross if you don't but it's a hassle and of course I always have to go more when I have one in! What the heck?! Lol
