I don't think you can lose your virginity to tampons..?

[runforfun529]

You can't lose your virginity to a tampon, the only way to do so is sexual intercourse penis in vagina

Its not really that to put it, it should go in smoothly and it will guide itself to where it will go. It doesn't hurt because they aren't that big. Try getting the teen kind. Just make sure to change it every 6-8 hours

[xSqueekyMexicanx]

yea i dont think your too young im 13 and i use tampons sooo .... and there is a little panthlet in the tampon box

[tootsie_kiddo]

the best advice i can give you is... READ THE BACK OF THE TAMPON BOX

and hell no, u cant loose ur effing virginity to a TAMPON, thats the most stupid thing i've ever heard. loosing ur virginity is PENIS in VAGINA. not an effing tampon... and no, it doesnt hurt as long as u do it right. u cant evn feel it inside you. and ur not young... cuz i'm 13 and i wear tampons all the time. pads r uncomfy

[Skyline Drive]

You can only lose your virginity by the penetration of a penis.
Their is a "tampon starter kit" you can buy and they are obiviously in the tampon
section , just look for it. They are a smaller size and easier to start off with. They have an instruction little booklet and shows you how to insert it. It also has FAQ ( frequently asked questions ) and those are really helpful. The question you asked about losing you virginity is also included in that section. It won't hurt unless you are tense , so you have to relax. Its all in the starter kit.

good luck .

Yeah...if only you read the tampon box (as someone mentioned above), you would've saved yourself some time with posting this topic.

[azn_swe3ti]

and how the eff could u lose ur virginity when a tampon doesnt have any sperms or anything!?wtf..

that's not what i meant. i mean like, when that layer of skin or whatever you call it that's inside ur..um..vagina or..well it's up there somewhere. i don't know what it's called
anyways, my health teacher said that if you put something in too far up, you can break that layer and technically you won't be a virgin anymore. i don't mean sex-virginity. i mean like, scientifically or whatever.
i learned that like..two years ago in gr.7. haha, even my 11 year old cousin knows that. i'm surprised that so many people don't know..weird

[mzz_shotee]

^ ya, i know what you're talking about. but don't worry, as long as you don't put the tampon in too far, it'll be alright

[i3reakah_X3]

hey some people can actually pop their hymen with a tampon...so basically, you CAN lose ur virginity with a tampon..
it hurts for the first time, but after that it's really comfortableeeee

[dOyOOHtHINK]

The first time didnt hurt for me!
When your holding the tampon on the ridged lines.. your vagina really wont let it go in any further than it should..
teen ones work best for your first time but move on as you get more used to it.. or u could use teen ones your whole life.. but youd have to change them alot due to whether your flow is heavy or light.. change it about every 2-4 hours... or it can cause a leak.. i hate those.. you kno how many perfectly good pairs of panties i lost b.c of my period #@$%$@
WAT THE EFF!!
hope thast helps...

[lilJdawg]

I never wore a tampon before. i would if i would be brave enough to put it in & i don't think you can lose your virginaty from using a tampon.

[roberts_pink_dru...]

I've never used a tampon like LEDO_DORKETTE I'm not brave enough to stick somthing up there.

[Oreo_bro]

wow be nice peeps she is just asking a question that isnt that bad. Hell i know for a fact you can pop your cherry or break your hynem with a tampon because its happend to a few of my gal friends. I dont liek the details but yeah.

reading a box is helpful, but some questins u just wanna ask here cuase its not as embarresing.

[roberts_pink_dru...]

*GASP* it's you again!!

[Just_Dream]

ACTUALLY, I heard there's a TINY TINY hold somewhere in the hymn... I mean come on... If the "layer of skin" (aka hymn) has no hole in it, HOW does your period leak out? EXACTLY... There's got to be some way that your period leaks out of your you-know-what.

I heard that there's a tiny hole and since you're a virgin, it will be tough to find that hole. Most girls and/or women who has tried tampons for the first time have trouble finding the hold.. Just don't shove it up there.. Calm down and then slowly push the tampon in. That's what my friend told me lol...

yes I've tried it before... Yes it hurt at first.

[Oreo_bro]

*GASP* it's you again!!

same to you.


and actually i was sorta wondering how girls have periods with a hynem, i figured there was soemthing like that but i didnt know, thanks for the info.


you learn somethign new everyday at CB

[*stephinika*]

haha christina has a good point. yup yup. and yes, the tampon box tells you pretty much all you need to know. and yeah its kinda uncomfortable the first time...but for me it wasn't putting it in or leaving it in it was taking it out...

and gary, i know i learn here at cb! haha

[xXMomoBubbleTeaX...]

one..you can't lose your virginity.. and either way..when you put it in.. you're still going to be sitting on it.. yeah it hurts the first time.. but after a while..you know to to insert it in perfeclty fine.. and you'll feel period free   

Girly yea you can lose your virginity...it's true!!!...if you rip this tissue yea it can..but you won't lose any sense of emotion or nething...I don't wear tampons bcuz I get frustrated when puttin one in...and then after that my muslces are to tense soO it won't go in..I kno pads feel like diapers it's juss one week of hell but hey we can get through it together...hehe..lols

Can a tampon go beyond the vagina and get lost inside the body?
No. The opening at the end of your vagina is only the size of a pencil point-much too small for a tampon to fit through.The tampon is held in place by the walls of your vagina until you pull on the cord to remove it.

What if a tampon gets stuck?
A Tampax® tampon cannot get "stuck" inside you. After the tampon has been inserted, the constricting muscles at the vaginal opening will hold it in place until you remove it by gently pulling on the withdrawal cord. If you feel definite resistance when you pull on the withdrawal cord, try to relax. You may want to leave the tampon in a little longer as it probably has not absorbed enough menstrual fluid to become soft and pliable. It may be too early to remove it, if it's been in place less than 4-8 hours.

Can a tampon fall out?
When properly inserted, the muscles around the entrance to the vagina will hold the tampon in place so it cannot fall out.

Do tampons hurt?
No. When you begin to menstruate, you are old enough to use Tampax® tampons and can use them right from the start. Tampons are inserted into the vagina through the same opening from which menstrual fluid leaves your body. This opening, in all but the very unusual situation, is sufficiently large to accommodate a Tampax® tampon.

By carefully and completely following the instructions given in our package insert, which is enclosed in each carton of Tampax® tampons, you will find that the use of Tampax® tampons is really quite easy. The package insert shows several positions that can be used to comfortably insert a tampon. While learning, it is helpful to relax, take your time and be patient. Some beginners have to try several times before they are able to insert a tampon. If you have difficulty, you may find using a small amount of lubricating jelly (not petroleum jelly) on and around the tip of the tampon and the outer tube will help to simplify insertion. When the tampon has been inserted correctly, you should not feel any discomfort

Can you feel a tampon inside you?
When the tampon has been inserted correctly, you should not feel any discomfort. If you are able to feel the tampon, it probably has not been inserted far enough into the vagina. You should remove that tampon and insert another one.

How do you know which to use - tampons or pads?
The choice of menstrual protection is an individual decision. It is our belief that the use of Tampax® tampons helps to make your period less stressful by allowing you to continue all of your normal activities, including swimming. In addition, internal protection prevents anyone else from knowing you are menstruating, internal protection also means natural odor protection. The problem of disposal is solved by using our tampon and paper applicator since they both can be flushed away. Tampax® tampons also come with a plastic applicator, since some women prefer them

By the way, you DO NOT LOSE YOUR VIRGINTY IF YOU USE A TAMPON. YOU LOSE YOUR VIRGINITY WHEN YOU HAVE SEXUAL INTERCOURSE.

[JessJR1022]

you gotta make sure you insert it far enough inside yourself or else it'll hurt that's the most common problem... but the tampon box tells you that too

[toodlepops.]

No, you can't lose your virginity by wearing a tampon.
You're neve too young to wear one.
Personally, I wouldn't wear them coz I'm too scared. XD

[ilauqh]

I'M AFRAID OF WEARING TAMPONS. NO ONE IN MY FAMILY WEARS THEM EITHER SO I WUDN'T HAVE MUCH HELP... SO I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT THEM BUT JUST BE CAREFUL WHILE PUTTING IT IN AND YOU SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO PUT IT THAT FAR TO BREAK THE LAYER OR WHATEVER IT IS.

[ms_keys03]

YES you can lose your virginity to a tampon! Im 20 I know these things but thats only if you force it in to fast it can rip your hymen its very unlikely to happen though I wouldnt worry to much about it

[MeLoNiSyUmMy]

i HATE wearing pads. it feels like a diaper and it feels all icky down there

i heard that can happen..is it true?? GAH!! i have so many questions. please help oh and by-the-way, i'm only 14 and i heard some people say that it's "wrong" to wear a tampon when your too young or something??

u cant lose ur virginity becuase that only happens during sexual intercourse even if your hymen has broken, the first time i wore one, i felt nothing and im 14 too. u can get applicaters. they tell you when to stop tried tampons becuase pads feel like..crap. and now, i love tampons.

[jordanriane]

YES you can lose your virginity to a tampon! Im 20 I know these things but thats only if you force it in to fast it can rip your hymen its very unlikely to happen though I wouldnt worry to much about it

LMFAO.

You can even tear the hymen from riding a bike. But in all honesty, there is no way to tell. Normally, you can by bleeding, but some girls don't even have a hymen, nor do they bleed if the hymen breaks.

Having sexual intercourse is the only way of losing your virginity.

If a tampon does tear your hymen, it does not take away your virginity. Common sense people.

Will tampon use affect my daughter's virginity?


Dear Iris,

Hi. My daughter wants to use tampons, but I'm afraid that it will take away her virginity. I have heard that if you use tampons long enough and if you do the splits and active stuff like that then you can lose your virginity. Is this all true and should I let my daughter use tampons?

Thanks,
Wondering


Dear Wondering,

Virginity has to do with sexual relations...not using tampons or doing splits. Many young girls start using tampons early on because they are swimmers or athletes. The hymen, which partially covers and protects the opening to the vagina is so fragile that it is stretched or torn during many activities. I see no reason why your daughter couldn't use a tampon if she can read and understand the instructions for insertion and safe use. The decision is yours and hers.

Iris

[cherry_lemon_ice]

lol..u cant loose ur virginity to a tampon..and if this is ur first time ever having somethin placed in ur vagina u might feel a little unconfortable at first but after a while it'll feel like ur not even wearing one.

[aznxdreamer]

^^^^dont type in all caps
too many topics on this already.
you cant really put it in that far to lose your virginty unless you use some super duper extra absorbant tampon. as long as you read the instrusctions, you'l be fine. and it doesnt really hurt. personally, it hurtrs more taking it out then putting it in.

[shortiiex]

it is only wrong to wear a tampon if you just began ur period

[Angel_Cece]

I don't think you can lose your virginity to tampons..?

LOL

[dani41790]

i wanted to try them but my mom is stupid and thinks ill lose my virginity to a tampon.

[jordanriane]

i wanted to try them but my mom is stupid and thinks ill lose my virginity to a tampon.

You should have her go on the website for tampax.com; you'll see a question/answer quote I posted in the earlier replies that's from that website regarding tampons and virginity. Honestly now, your mother should know that losing your viriginity deals with sexual intercourse, and not the tearing of a hymen (most girls end up tearing it during sports/tampon use/don't even have one anyway).

[tinababy143]

LoL you cant lose your virginity by using a tampon..and if you have never used it before then it will hurt a bit because you have to break your hymen..after that..smooth sailing

[jordanriane]

LoL you cant lose your virginity by using a tampon..and if you have never used it before then it will hurt a bit because you have to break your hymen..after that..smooth sailing

Hun, just by inserting the tampon, really won't tear the hymen. You say that as if though we're shoving the tampon up there with violent force.

[HoodieObsessed]

YES you can lose your virginity to a tampon! Im 20 I know these things but thats only if you force it in to fast it can rip your hymen its very unlikely to happen though I wouldnt worry to much about it

omg, you can?!?!?! that’s freaky...anyway, I've put it in as far as the applicator will allow and my hymen hasn't broken so ya....look, don’t think about how it's going to hurt, remember, it’s you who are doing it, if it hurts too much the first time just slowly ease it out and try at your next period. that’s what I did. It took me about 1 or maybe 2 periods to get it right, and to get used to it, but once you do, it's awesome. I totally sympathize with you cause I hate pads as well....grrr, annoying...I use tampons ALL the time...and when you buy a box of tampons in comes with directions, read them thoroughly than try putting in your first one. Just remember breathe deeply and take it slow, the more you put them in ,the less it will hurt to put them in…it doesn’t hurt me at all now, and it's been about hmmmm, 6 or 7 periods since I started using them...

..Don’t listen to anyone that says that tampons are really painful and they don’t' use them, they are just chickens and never got passed the first stage...Believe me, it took me a while and a few tears, but its well worth it for the results

EDIT

"And by-the-way, I’m only 14 and I heard some people say that it's "wrong" to wear a tampon when your too young or something??"

there is nothing wrong with wearing a tampon young, I started wearing tampons right when I had my first period and I was some where around 13....tampons are sent from heaven, EVERYONE should have the joy of using them!

[jordanriane]

omg, you can?!?!?! tha'ts freaky...anyway, I've put it in as far as the aplicator will allow and I'm still a virgin

2. Losing your virginity results from sexual intercourse.

[urbanychic]

'virginity' in the social concept, no you can't lose it by just wearing a tampon because you are not losing nor gaining any type of satisfaction. HOWEVER in a medical concept, you are. Why is it termed your 'virginity'? Because that piece of skin, the hyman, symblozies your virginity, your innocence, you as a child. When that is broke, which is typically, during sex, you lose that sense of innocence and become an adult.

That hyman can be broken very easily. You can break that just by riding a bike. However, it's very likely you can wear tampons and ride a bike and when that time comes for sex, never actually had broken your hymen. Anyways.

Wearing a tampon doesn't necessarily hurt, it may be a bit uncomfortable at first because you know it's there and you aren't use to this sort of sensation. My only useful advice is to relax and calm down when inserting it and afterwards. When your vaginal walls are tense, this can cause problems. When inserting it, remain calm and for me, when your fingers touch your lips, to be frank. That's as far as you should push the tampon. For the first couple of times until you feel comfortable with wearing one, I'd suggest wearing a panty liner to be on the safe side.

Also, btw, the hyman is a very thin, thin, thin porus piece of skin so your period literally goes through it. It's not like .. blocking the entire opening, it's just sort of got a small piece through it. But, that's getting into to much detail. Just relax and you'll be fine!

[jordanriane]

^ Some girls aren't born with hymens.

That was a good post; usually though certain cultures deal alot with the hymen when it comes to virginity, but with American Culture, it's sexual intercourse.

[urbanychic]

yes, i forgot about it.

quite true about the cultures. some cultures surgically remove the entire vagina when the period starts. talk about pain!

[jordanriane]

Yeah, I know.. And there are some cultures that remove the clitoris, because wetness from a vagina is a sign of infidelity (i believe, maybe it was just aldurtery). I recently read an article on it, I was flabbergasted.
