do you have to take a tampon out every time you pee? and doesn't it hurt if you take it out too early when its not fully absorbedyet? jw causei want to use tampons but i pee alot.
The little sheet of folded up info that comes in the tampon box will tell you how often it recommends you change them. Just like you shouldn't leave them in for days, you shouldn't change them every couple of hours, either (unless your flow is super heavy!).

And it will also cause a little more pain when you take it out if you're doing so before it's time. Once you've been using tampons for years though you get the hang of it and you get used to taking it out, and even when it isn't fully absorbed it doesn't really bother you as much if you feel a slight pain taking it out, and also it becomes a little less tight down there and used to having tampons put into it lol
But no, you don't have to and I recommend not taking it out every time you pee. That's actually rather silly. Peeing doesn't affect your tampon at all. Though the string might get a little wet (unless you really have to just hold the string while you pee or something) but you can't really feel it and it shouldn't bother you too much...
And you'll know when to take it out once you get used to it. I guess everyone is different, you can use them how you want. If you just started the period and its a heavy flow you should just make sure you keep an eye on it like going to the bathroom occasionally and checking for any spottage or leakage, use some toilet paper and dab up there to check for blood because when you're starting to leak you won't always know it from your underwear. Usually you'll know it's time to change by looking at the string and seeing if theres any blood on it towards the top meaning you're starting to leak. Every period is different so you can't go by setting a time to take it out, (though you should never keep the same tampon in for too long, shouldn't leave it in past 6 hours I think, but often it won't be nearly that long) though I have before. You never know how much you've bled or are bleeding. Sometimes it's very little or takes a while, sometimes it's alot and soon.
With time it will come to you naturally.

After that, youre fine to pee with it in haha.
But if you have to REALLY go, like I've-been-holding-this-in-for-hours gotta go (lol) then you may want to take it out first, you really have to try it out for yourself since everybodys different.

I usually take it out everytime I pee during the first couple of days when my flow is heavy.
