Tampons and virginity : Women have their periods every month. Earlier, sanitary napkins were used during the menstrual period, but after the advent of tampons, most women started preferring them. Tampons are actually a type of menstrual cup that has proven to be much better than sanitary napkins in terms of hygiene. Nowadays, cotton and rayon tampons are becoming very popular. But there are still many myths prevalent among women regarding this (tampon myths).
From the use of tampons to their side effects, there are many myths that women avoid using them. One such myth is that using tampons breaks the hymen and can lead to loss of virginity. Due to this fear, most women are afraid to use it. Let us know what is the truth of this myth.
Does Using Tampons Really Break Virginity?
Many people think that by using tampons, the hymen stretches and breaks, which leads to loss of virginity. Health experts say that this is absolutely false. Using a tampon does not cause any change in the shape of the vagina. It has no effect on the hymen. Using a tampon causes a slight stretching of the hymen so that the blood coming out of the vagina does not flow. But it does not put any pressure on the hymen, so breaking the hymen makes absolutely no sense.
There is no connection with loss of virginity due to rupture of the hymen.
In fact, a tampon is a simple protection to stop vaginal bleeding. It is so small that it fits completely into the vaginal opening and the blood continues to store there instead of coming out. Generally, tampons are made from materials like fibers, cotton, and rayon and do not cause any harm to the skin.
It does not harm the hymen at all. On the other hand, health experts also claim that hymen rupture and virginity loss are different things. The hymen is a very thin membrane inside the vagina that can sometimes break during intense exercises, cycling, or climbing. There is no connection between hymen rupture and loss of virginity.
