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.

mod mod. for the past year i get my period every twoo weeks and its really annoying. is there a reason why???




Hey chica!

Chances are, you'll go through bunches of inconsistencies during the first few years of your period.  There's no definite reasons that we know of; but, stress is a factor.

Hey girl, it's tough, but it's really trial and error. Once you get it, you get it though.

Mod,mod,mod.hey I just got my period today not my first though so I tried on tampons but they hurt real bad. My sis uses them and she said they'd be a breeze but they weren't. every one I know uses tampons. is there something wrong with me.

 

Hey chica! Applying tampons for the first time is a bit uncomfortable. You may want to use pads instead and wait until you are a bit older to wear tampons. It also could be that you aren't inserting the tampon correctly. Ask your mom and sister to help you.
