I use tampons. Am I still a virgin?

 

 

Why wouldn’t you be? A virgin is someone who’s never had sex, not someone who’s never used a tampon. Using a tampon can break or stretch the hymen. But even if it breaks, you’re still a virgin.

Hey missy, the amount of times you change your tampon really depends upon your period. So if you usually have a heavy flow, you may have to change more times during the day. If your flow is small or not that heavy you can leave your tampon on longer, so it really depends upon your bod. But just to be on the safe side, pack extra tampons! Smile

My docter tells me I am not developed enough to getmy period. My mom says not to worry about it!! She says I have a good two years. I'm still scared. My mom and sisters had it at the same time. And do you need pubicare? Why do we need our period?




Hey babe, 

You don't necessarily develop at the same time or speed as your mom and sisters though it's usually a pretty good indicator. Your period is about your body getting ready to make babies.

using a tampon is much easier than you think it just takes practice and once you get it it a lot cleaner than using pads and youll feel more comfortable than in a bulky pad. read the directions on the box and if you need to to look at the (ugh) diagram just relax hope this helped

For those girls who can't seem to get a tampon in the trick is to relax. If you are all stressed out you will start freaking out and not be able to put it in all the way. When I first tried a tampon it was like halfway out. I asked my mom why that was and she said it was because my body had cramped up, not letting it get all the way in.
So ya. Good luck!

Stupid Myths, one girl in our group was actually trying to say that using tampons was just like losing your virginity and it depended on the size you used. She was saying if you used big tampons you lost your virginity and if you used thinner ones you didnt.

The only reason I thought she was saying that was maybe with a wider or bigger tampon she thought it might be easier to break your hymen with it or with using a bigger tampon it felt more like what sex feels like.

I use tampons and I have no problem and I know that I havent lost my virginity because of them.

Just because your hymen breaks, doesn't mean your not a virgin. Hymens can break from a lot of things, even sports. You're only not a virgin if you've had sex.

Hey girl, first of all, you have to get rid of that fear. Tampons need time to get used to and if you read the directions then you will be fine. Also try talking to your friend or mom who already uses tampons. They'll be able to comfort you about the use of it. <3 Jeannie

Hey girl,

One thing you want to know is that there are different parts of the body "down there." Your urine and blood are discharged from two different areas, although they may seem the same.

Hey Moderator;
How do you know if you've broken your hymen?
And I have another question,
When I change my tampon when my period's lighter, after I take out the applicator, there's gross stuff on it. It's a cream-ish color, almost like discharge, but I know it's not the same.
Is this normal for other girls, too, or just me?

You probably inserted it into fast or your body is too nervous to deal with it. Read the directions again, slip it in all the way and try again. If your scared, then don't force yourself to wear a tampon, wear pads for awhile until you are ready.<3 Sherryn D.

WHAT DO I DO??

 

Hey babe, just try to go during your breaks, even if you don't have to "go." As long as you take care of what needs to get done throughout the day, you shouldn't have any emergencies during class. But if for some reason you do, go to your teacher's desk privately and ask to go to the bathroom. If the teacher says no, give him a hairy eyeball look and say "I really need to go." He or she should get the point!

We went over a similar question in health and she told us that when using tampons you don't lose your virginity but it could break the hymen part inside. I think people just wonder about this because you are putting something inside that isn't normally there.

She said there were other ways of breaking the hymen like riding a horse, having sex and even masturbating can break it depending on what you do. I know it is a weird subject but people want to know about certain things and our teacher told us there was a lot of mis-information about using tampons.

Hey Mod!!!!!!!!

Dear MODS!!!
I kind of want to try a certain sport, but if I do try it I will have to use contacts and tampons.
I really really really DO NOT want to use tampons, and I don't even know if I really want to do the sport.
Should I just use pads because they are more comfortable?
Any advice would help. Smile

 

 

 

Hey girl, I know the feeling- I switched to contacts and they took awhile to get used to. But tampons are no sweat! Just start out ith the petite size if you are scared and you can work up to the regular ones. If you are in love with pads you can try to use them instead, but I think switching will be no big deal. xo Annemarie

Hey babes, Try using a smaller sized tampon and don't pull it out if it's uncomfy, wait till it'll move and slowly take it out!  xo Annemarie

MOD MOD MOD I have had my periode for almost 2 weeks now ( i sarted only 3 monthes ago) but its been really heavy the almost the whole time and i am sorta woried, since its been so heacy for so long!! help

 

 

Hey girl, I would check with your doctor if you are worried. He or she can also explain this better to you than I can, but since you just got your period, this may not be the cycle your body will stick to! xo Annemarie

MOD** i recently srarted my period and i kinda need to know, how often shuold u change ur pad? every 1 or 2 hours right? oh, and what can ya do to help ease cramping?? thnx 4 ur help!

 

well depending on how heavy your flow is you should change your pad when ever it get gross. if your heavy you could change it once every hour. when your light every couple of hours. as far as cramping pampron midol they both work good. but the secret to cramps is heat. it helps relax the muscules so i would suggest laying in bed with a heating pad on your stomach See Ya Tobie

Hey MOD ummm listen i'm really freaking out about tampons because all my friends say they are nutin to worry about but they still freak me out is there anyway that i could try wearing one without hurting myself trying to use it???

 

 

Hey there babes, When used correctly, they are absolutely safe. Why not start using the petite sized ones and read the box carefully. Check out the link below and see if it helps. xo Annemarie
