Hi, I also have a long haired piggy who would get dirty bum hairs. The first thing you should do is give her a nice trim. Ideally you want her bum hairs to be the shortest of all as this helps them keep clean, and just makes her more comfortable. Are you sure it's because of weeing? My long haired boy never got wet fur from that and to my understanding wet fur usually means they are sitting in their wee which may point to another issue. Give her a nice trim back there and wipe her with a warm wash cloth as she doesn't need a full bath if she just has a dirty bum.
I've given her a good trim and wash today and she looks 100% happierHi, I also have a long haired piggy who would get dirty bum hairs. The first thing you should do is give her a nice trim.

Yes I will check her out and I would definitely take her to the vet if I thought she was unwell. I have to say that since I trimmed the hair near her bottom there has been no repeat of wet fur. ☺bless her, I've never met a piggy who has been happy with a bottom trim! I have had pigs that have done this as a one off but it can be an indicator of URI's, ovarian cysts and arthritis (of which I have witnessed all 3 over the years). Some conditions do not change the piggy (in the case of ovarian cysts there were no other symptoms/indicators at all for my piggy) so if it continues or gets any worse it might be worth getting a vet to check her over
