Can a virgin use tampons?

We all know that tampons need to be inserted internally, so many women worry that using tampons will damage the hymen, so they have many concerns when using them. However, tampons are very convenient to use. As long as you choose the correct method, they generally will not damage the hymen and cause damage to the body. Next, we will introduce to you in detail the issue of whether virgins can use tampons.

Virgins can also use internal tampons. Virginity has nothing to do with tampons. A virgin is a woman who has never had sexual intercourse. The hymen is a flexible membrane that partially covers the outside of the vaginal opening. This membrane affects the flow of blood during menstruation. There is no risk of tearing the hymen when using an internal tampon (either insertion or removal), so it will not affect the hymen.

Tampons will not damage the hymen because there is a small hole in the middle of the hymen with a diameter of about 1.8-2.5cm, while the diameter of tampons is only 1.5cm. Even after the tampon swells up due to menstrual blood, it can easily pass through the resilient hymen without causing any damage.

The most common ones on the market now are all produced under strict quality control, with hygiene indicators meeting international standards. They are sealed in plastic film and specially equipped with plastic finger sleeves to prevent bacteria on the hands from contacting the body, so they are very hygienic and safe. Clinical trials and long-term use by European and American women have shown that using tampons does not promote the growth of bacteria and microorganisms and the insertion time should not exceed 8 hours.

The above content is an introduction to whether virgins can use tampons. Don’t worry too much. Using tampons will not cause us harm. As long as they are used properly, pay attention to hygiene, and change them frequently, there will generally be no problem. Of course, the choice of brand is also critical. You should choose tampons produced by regular manufacturers.
