Will using a tampon break your hymen?
Yes, a tampon could 'break' your hymen but it's nothing to be too concerned about.
Usually the hymen (which is just a thin little layer of skin) is worn down gradually so by the time you put a tampon in it will likely already be much thinner. Also, some people who have a vagina don't even have a hymen.
Certain physical activities (horseback riding, riding bikes, climbing trees, gymnastics, or even dancing) can also stretch the membrane and cause your hymen to thin or "break".
August tampons were designed for maximum comfort, including a smooth-tip, long, BPA-free applicator tampons. Stock up on August Tampons HERE!
