I never heard of the peeing to get a tampon out, either, alexandra. I've had slight difficulty in getting them out sometimes, but nothing major. You're supposed to keep them in until they're slick with blood (sorry to be so gross), which makes them easier to pull out. Of course, this is much more difficult when you're having a lighter flow. But as alexandra said, I have heard of using a little artificial lubricant (like the KY Jelly) to make it easier to take them out.

You guys have some great stories! This is a fun thread!

And isn't Spencer's a fun store?

I learned long ago that you're not supposed to douche, and never have.
