Question about tampons - possibly tmi

[hopeishere]

When you pee wearing a tampon does it get wet?

[Sarahlou63]

Guess you were washing your hair on the day your school did human biology huh?

[ihatethecold]

what??
really op?

[PurpleDaisies]

Only if you per through your vagina.

[RochelleGoyle]

What? Where do you think the tampon goes OP?

[AppropriateAdult]

The string might get a bit wet, but not the tampon itself.

[hopeishere]

Yes. I know pee comes from the urethra. I'm not stupid. But for whatever reason when I pee wearing a tampon it gets soaked so I'm assuming there's something going wrong down there.

[LuckyLou7]

School's out for summer, by the sounds of it. Google female anatomy. That will answer your question.

[stucknoue]

It depends on your anatomy, some people have their urethra slightly different placed

[hopeishere]

Thanks for the patronising answers though.

[BuildBuildings]

If your tampon is getting wet could it be you're wearing it too far down in your vagina?

[sqeakywheel]

I think you're not inserting it far enough in. None of the tampon should be anywhere near the vulva. Maybe try a smaller size?

[hopeishere]

Thanks BuildBuildings I have fibroids so wonder if that's part of the problem. Sometimes when I put a tampon in (tampax applicator) it almost tips round and comes back out - hard to explain.

[hopeishere]

I push the applicator as far as I can and need super duper super plus ones unfortunately. And a sanitary towel.

[LilyMumsnet]

Just swinging by to say that the OP has been around for some time.

[AnyFucker]

The string might do but not the tampon itself

Unless a) you have a fistula between your urethra and your vagina b) you are peeing into a puddle and sitting in it c) you are peeing standing on your head

a) is unlikely.

[AnyFucker]

Actually, joking aside. Mine sometimes "double back" but they don't get wet unless I sit in the bath for ages.

[hopeishere]

I'm wondering about a fistula @AnyFucker I couldn't remember what it was called.

I'll mention it to my obgyn the next time I see him.

[AnyFucker]

Ok. I hope it isn"t that and your gynae can put your mind at rest.

Have you given birth ?

[hopeishere]

Yes, twice.

[Earlyriser]

Mine sometimes gets wet but I think I have a prolapse and sometimes my tampon works its way down to the entrance.
You did not deserve these patronising responses.

[hopeishere]

I also have a prolapse. It's a massacre down there!!

[LuckyLou7]

You need to see your gynaecologist, it's probably the prolapse causing this.
Sorry about the school's out comment, I thought you were the tampon troll again.

[babysharkah]

Yes and why I don't use them. The bloody (pun not intended) skirts that tampax insist on using have rendered them pointless to me.

[Jambalaya76]

Yep same happens to me. I've had 2 kids. I often have to change other wise it leaks wee

[dementedpixie]

What type of tampax is it? Some styles expand in length and I don't like them as they practically poke out at the bottom. The Pearl ones expand width ways and I prefer them
