No. You do not have to remove your tampon when you go to the bathroom. The reason that you don’t have to remove it is because urinating or releasing solid waste does not affect your tampon in any way. But through the pressure of either a) urinating or b) releasing solid waste the tampon may become loose or be pressed a little bit out of your vagina. Which means that the tampon isn’t going to sit correctly anymore, which could cause it to leak. In most cases whether you feel it or not a tampon does shift when you go to the bathroom. So changing your tampon after you go to the bathroom is a good idea. So some people like to change their tampon after going to the bathroom, even if their tampon hasn’t been in for that long.

Another reason why some women change their tampon after going to the bathroom is because after urinating the string of the tampon becomes wet with urine. Having a wet string dangling from your vagina can be uncomfortable, but that is just a matter of opinion.

So just in case when you go to the bathroom and you are on your period make sure to always bring an extra tampon with you. Since you might a) notice that your tampon is actually full, before you thought it would be, b) your tampon moved out of place or c) the wet tampon string will annoy you. Just imagine going to the bathroom and realizing your tampon is full..but you don’t have another one with you. That would make a very unpleasant experience. Always be prepared. Make sure to have extra pantyliners, pads and tampons with you wherever your day takes you!
