YOUR BOD | PERIODS, PERIOD | Q&A

Fact or fiction: Virgins can't use tampons

 
I have been using pads the year and a half that I've had my period. I want to try using a tampon but my sis said you have to have sex first before you can use a tampon and I'm too scared to ask my mom. Can I use a tampon even though I'm a virgin?

 

Yes, you absolutely can use a tampon even though you’re a virgin. When a girl has sex, her hymen is broken, but this can also happen while playing sports or during an accident. However, whether or not a girl’s hymen is broken has no effect on using tampons, so both virgins and non-virgins can use ‘em.  You might want to set your sis straight on that. 

 

Tampons are great to use if you’re tired of pads or feel like they’re not giving you the protection that you need.  Even though you were scared to ask your mom about this, she’s a great source of info and can help with all your period questions.  Tampons can be a bit tricky at first, but don’t hesitate to get help from your mom or doctor—they’ve got lots of helpful info.

help! so i havent had my period yet, but my mom and doc said it will happen soon. i have this brown discharge and some red tinted stuff. does this mean its going to happen really soon? please help, cause i wanna be prepared.
thanks so much!!!!




Hey girlie,

That sounds like the start of a period to me! It's possible that it's just spotting (and that your full period won't start just yet), but keep an eye on it and be prepared by carrying a pad with you in your purse. Chances are, it'll get heavier over the next day or two!

Our hymen is a piece of thin skin covering the entrance to our vagina. Just us google and you will find,

Hey Sarah_Scoop, no I don't think that will happen. A girl always knows when she's on her period, so leaving a tampon in won't make you forget. And if you don't need to wear a tampon then don't put one in. Kotex has some good products so check them out. Hope this helps! Xoxo

I got my period for the first time yesterday, and i hate the way pads feel. My mom is ok with me wearing tampons, but doesn't really prefer it. She's worried that one day Ill think i'm still on my period and put in a tampon but when the times comes to take it out that itll hurt because i dont have it anymore. Is that true? and also, what brand of tampons are good to use? im 13. thank you!! (: Lynae P.

Hey HeyHeyHey! Smile, don't be embarrassed about your period. Every girl gets it, so you're def not alone. And don't hesitate to talk to your mom about it. She's experienced all the stuff your bod is going through now, so she'll be able to help you. In fact I'm sure she's been waiting for you to start menustrating so she can educate you on everything. So letter know and she'll get you everything you need. Hope this helps!! Xoxo

I'm scared I'll get my period in the middle of class or sleeping over at my friends house. I'm to embarrassed to talk to my mom about this stuff but when the time really comes and I don't have any pads or tampons what would I do? Any advice? Lynae P.

i had my period of the first time last month. i asked my mom for a note for pool (our class goes swimming like, once a week) and she wrote one, but then she said how i should try and start using a tampon because i shouldn't miss pool that often. i know she meant well, but i'm not sure about using a tampon. i don't know where to put it! plus, my period isn't supposed to be regular every month, so what if i go swimming without even knowing I'm on my monthly! i think i might be over thinking this a bit, but i'm still worried. please help, thank you!




Hey girlie,

You've got it - you are over-thinking it ;) You use the bathroom throughout the day and you'll also feel cramps before your period, so you'll definitely know if you need period protection! Plus you could try using the bathroom just before pool, just to be safe. Try to relax about that <3 As for the tampon, read these articles for tips on using them. I use them and know TONS of girls who do - you can do it!!
