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.

im not understanding this whole hymen thing...what is it? and is there a point for having it?




The hymen is a piece of tissue that lines the vaginal opening. It has no definite function other than as part of the vaginal opening Smile

MOD MOD MOD!!!!!
I just got my period like three days ago. Its been really heavy and even though i use strong pads, blood always leaks on my undies. is this normal? i have tried using tampons, and i want to know how often to change them. Also i am in 6th grade. we dont carry our bookbags around, we have big lockers.i want to know how i can sneak a pad/tampon into the bathroom without anyone knowing. thanx for ur help!




Keep changing your pad. Dont let it stay on for too long. IF you do that you wont have leaks. As for getting pads to the bathroom buy a cute little bag to put them in so its discreet. Also tampons should be take out no longer than 8 hours after putting it in. So you could change it every 4 to 8 hours. Good luck! xoxo kerra

Hi girl,

Yes these are all signs that your period could be on its way! It's hard at first but we all go through it, so try not to freak out. Instead, just be prepared with pads and know that you're not alone!

Is there a reason for us to have a hymen? Like does it do anything? I know it breaks when we have sex or from doing other things but why is it there?
