One common question is: what do tampons do to your hymen? Let’s break this down.
What is the hymen?
The hymen is a thin piece of tissue that covers part of the opening of the vagina. It’s different for everyone. Some people have a lot of hymen tissue, while others have very little. In some cases, it may even look like a small ring around the vaginal opening. The hymen is not a solid barrier, so there’s usually a hole or opening in the hymen that allows period blood to come out of the body.
What does a tampon do?
A tampon is a small, soft product made from cotton or a blend of materials. It’s designed to be inserted into the vagina to soak up menstrual blood during a period.
Tampons should not cause pain. If it hurts, it could be because of the size of the tampon or if you’re not relaxed. Starting with a small, slender tampon is a good idea.
