Question:
Do you pee out of the same hole you put the tampon in?

Answer:

No you don't. The vulva, which is the name for the outside area that we sometimes refer to as our genitals,has three openings. The smallest and most forward of the three is called the urethra. It is that tube that pee (urinate) from. The middle opening is the opening into the vagina and is where a tampon would go. The largest opening and the one near the back is the anus, where solid wastes come from.
