A virgin is someone who has not had sex, that's all the term means.
Sex does not change the vagina in any way so there'd be no reason why tampons would be more likely to cause pain in someone who is a virgin verses someone who has had sex. Tampons can cause pain for a number of reasons but as long as you're relaxed and using tampons correctly they shouldn't hurt.

∙ 14y agoI hope some idiot with raging hormones isn't trying to convince you that since you used a tampon you're not a virgin anymore and therefore should give in to him. A virgin is a woman who hasn't had sexual intercourse, period. It has little to do with whether or not you have an intact hymen. Hymens can be broken for all sorts of reasons besides intercourse. And there have even been rare cases of women having had intercourse where the hymen wasn't broken. So wheter it's a tampon, dildo, banana, or finger, none of them take away your virginity. Yeah, you can't lose your virginity to an inanimate object. Just to clarify, Or any of the various other objects listed above.

∙ 11y ago(Tampons hurt because they are foreign objects being pushed into a very sensitive part of the body.) Reasons why they may hurt vary. It could be that you did not insert it deep enough. (Don't be afraid to push it farther in, it can't get lost!) When you put it in, walk around to make sure it don't hurt. If it does, remove it and try again with a new one. It could also hurt if you inserted it too forcefully or wrong. If it hurts to put in, make sure you are relaxed! If you are too nervous (if you are at home) try listening to relaxing music before and while you insert it. If you have trouble, take a deep breath, and continue, you should be able to insert it with no trouble after a deep breath. Another reason It may also hurt if it is in too long, so change them regularly. Lastly, it may hurt when removing the tampon. If so, take a deep breath, and pull it out more gently and slowly. Do not worry, again, it cannot get lost, so just relax!
Hope that helps!

∙ 9y agoYes, you can use tampons and still be a virgin.
A virgin is someone who has not had sex - a tampon is not a person, and inserting a tampon is not sex. For the record you also cannot 'lose' your virginity as virginity is a word not a possession, you gain an experience when you have sex and don't lose a single thing.
Some people still associate the hymen with virginity, but the two are not the same thing. The hymen is tissue that surrounds the vaginal opening but it doesn't cover much of the vaginal opening and it is flexible so it stretches to accommodate penetration - whether that is a tampon, fingers, speculums, or even a penis - the hymen normally only tears if penetration is rough or forced.

∙ 8y agoTampons shouldn't hurt if they are used correctly - although they can increase cramps.
Some common reasons for pain when using tampons:
- Not being relaxed - when tense vaginal canal tightens so insertion is forced.
- Using too high an absorbency - tampons dry-out vaginal tissues causing splitting.
- Inserting at the wrong angle - this would cause you to push into a vaginal wall.
- Not inserting high enough - narrowest part of vagina will push against tampon.
- Allergic reaction - commercial tampons contain many chemicals you may be allergic to.

Do Chinese women use tampons?
Chinese people don't use tampons because they think that it will thake away your virginity, and Chinese men often prefer a virgin to be their wife.
If you are a virgin can you wear tampons and not get cervical cancer?
Yes, you can wear tampons. The vagina of a virgin is absolutely no different to that of a non-virgin so there is no reason why a virgin should avoid tampon use - although tampons are not recommended to pre-teens or teens given higher risks of TSS, pads or menstrual cups are best. Tampons don't cause cervical cancer, although some brands of tampons like Tampax or Playtex can contain dioxin which increases cancer risks, they do not directly cause cervical cancer. If worried use organic cotton tampons like Natracare or Emerita, sponge tampons like Jade & Pearl, menstrual cups or softcups - all are much safer options.
Can you still use tampons after several natural child births?
Of course you can still use tampons after several natural child births. There's no reason why a person wouldn't be able to use tampons, if they still menstruate then they can still use menstrual products like tampons. After childbirth the vagina will always return to the normal size, maybe a little less vaginal tone but still enough to be able to hold a product like tampons. If someone struggles to use tampons after natural childbirth then they should talk to their doctor as something isn't right.
Is it true that tampons are made just for women that are no longer virgin?
No, this is not true.Almost anyone with a vagina can use tampons or other internal menstrual products. Virginity is a word used to describe someone who has not had sex, it is not a physical state of being - there is no physical difference between a person who is a virgin and a person who is not a virgin. Thus tampons are not just made for those who have had sex, they are for all those with a vagina.No this is not true.
Does a tampon make you a non virgin?
Yes, when you get your period, you can use a tampon whether you have had sex or not. As long as you insert it properly and change it regulary to aviod problems (like TSS), then there is really no medical reason why you cannot use a tampon. Some religions might have different says, but that is due to a belief. == == yes no problem. I started my period early at age 10 and was able to use tampons just fine. == == Yes, but some religions/cultures say a girl shouldn't put anything in her vagina until she's married. There is no medical reason why not though.
Do tampons hurt virgins?
Oh my goodness.... Yes!!!!! Virgins can wear tampons!!!!! It does not do anything to make you a "non-virgin" if you use a tampon. I am a 20 year old who uses tampons and am still a virgin. Having sex makes you not a virgin. So no worries! : )
Does putting in a tampon hurt im really scared?
Inserting a tampon should not hurt - being a virgin makes no difference as to whether it will hurt or not because sex doesn't change your vagina in any way - if scared there's no reason to use tampons. When it comes to inserting tampons you're in control so if you do start to feel pain then you just have to stop and address the cause of the pain. As long as you're relaxed and use tampons correctly it shouldn't hurt.
Do tampons have an expiry date?
No, tampons don't expire because of the materials used and sanitation to reduce bacteria being present in the tampons - some tampons may have an expiry date on the box, this is to do with potential bacterial growth, but this is uncommon. However tampons are only sanitary not sterile so they can still contain bacteria and even mold, if tampons aren't kept in a clean dry place they will not be safe to use. Although tampons don't expire it's still not a great idea to use tampons that are a few years or even decades old - yes, sometimes you do find tampons this old.
Can you use a tampon 2 days after 1 dose monistat treatment?
Don't use tampons if you still have a yeast infection, or any other vaginal infection. Tampons increase risk of vaginal infections, so if you already have an infection or chance of still having an infection, it may increase. It's best for you to use pads and pantiliners for the rest of your period rather than tampons.
Can men use tampons?
Men do not have a vagina, so they cannot use tampons for their intended purpose. (i.e. - to put inot your vagina when you have your period, so as to stop the bleeding from leaking out of your body.) If they wished to use them for other purposes, though I'm not really sure what they would be, then men could in fact use tampons. This might not be medically safe or good for the man's health, however, so I would not recommend it.
Will you still be a virgin if you use the iPad?
