Can tampons be used by virgins?

In my country, sanitary napkins are good companions for all female friends when their menstruation comes every month. However, in order to better absorb menstrual blood and prevent leakage, many female friends will choose the currently popular built-in tampons. Due to the convenience and safety of tampons, they are loved by many female friends. However, for some unmarried female friends, they are very worried that inserting tampons into the vagina will damage the hymen. So, can tampons be used by virgins?

1. Will an internal tampon cause the hymen to rupture?

The answer is no, unmarried women can certainly use tampons. Because the hymen is a ring-shaped tissue with a hole in the center that allows menstrual blood to flow out of the body. The size of the hole varies from person to person, and the general diameter is 2.5 cm. There are many types of tampons for internal use. You can choose a smaller ordinary tampon, which has a diameter of only 1.32 cm, which is more than enough to pass through the hole in the hymen without damaging the hymen.

The diameter of the cervical opening is 0.1-0.2 cm, while the diameter of a tampon is 1.32-1.42 cm. It is impossible for it to pass through the cervical opening and enter the uterus, let alone enter the abdominal cavity from the uterus. Since the pull string of the tampon is tightly sewn from the top to the tail end, when the tampon is soaked with menstrual blood and becomes moist, it is not difficult to remove it by gently pulling the tail of the string.

2. How to use tampons correctly?

Step 1: Choose the right tampon based on your menstrual flow (light, moderate, heavy).

Step 2: Wash your hands with warm water and soap.

Step 3: Remove the tampon from its packaging.

Step 4: Insert the inner tube of the tampon into the body, about a few inches, but not too deep. The hands must be able to reach the outer tube.

Step 5: Continue to push the inner tube forward and push the tampon into the vagina.

Step 6: Remove the catheter (outer tube and inner tube) together.

Step 7: The string attached to the tampon must be left outside the vagina.

Step 8: Wrap the catheter in toilet paper and throw it in the trash can. Never flush it down the toilet.

The above contents are the answers to the question of whether virgins can use tampons. I believe that now everyone should have understood that unmarried female friends can use internal tampons. However, they must be used correctly according to the above steps and must be replaced from time to time during use to avoid bacterial infection and harm to the health of female friends.
