Interesting post. I imagine, this women's urethral opening is not right under her clitoris but much lower and closer to the entrance of the vaginal canal so the tampon is acting to pull the uretheral opening even more inside. In general, urine can only leak into the vagina if there is a fistula, which is a an opening between the bladder or cystocele and the vaginal wall from some type of tissue damage. The same thing can happen between the colon and vagina allowing stool to enter. Having a cystocele does not mean you will develop a fistula.
If you go to this site and click on see pictures of a vesico-vaginal fistula you can see a drawing of one.
