The hymen doesn't really cover anything, the hymen is the tissue that surrounds the opening to the vagina. In some rare cases females can be born without an opening to the vagina, if this occurs then a doctor would make a surgical cut to open the hymen.

How do you know yo broke your hymen?

The hymen does not break - it can wear away, stretch, or tear. The hymen typically doesn't cover much of the vaginal opening and it is flexible so it can stretch to allow penetration without tearing, although it can tear from penetration especially if the penetration is rough or forced. You know if your hymen is in tact or not simply by looking at your hymen to check for tears.


How 2 break the hymen with a tampon?

Your hymen doesn't 'break' - it can wear away, stretch or tear partly or fully. There's no reason to purposefully tear your hymen, this would potentially cause you pain or discomfort and is unnecessary - the hymen doesn't cover much of the vaginal opening and is flexible so can stretch to allow items into the vagina. It's uncommon for tampons to tear the hymen, even after sexual intercourse the hymen can remain in tact.


When you insert a tampon does it go through the hole in your hymen?

Yes - in most women the hymen doesn't cover much of the vaginal opening so a tampon can easily pass through, the hymen is also flexible so can stretch to allow larger items to pass through without the hymen needing to tear and without being stopped.


How menstruation come through hymen?

Your hymen should have an opening in it, allowing the menses to flow out of the vagina. If it is imperforated, it will not have an opening and must be surgically opened to allow fluids to escape.


What does your hymen look like?

It is a thin membrane stretched across the vaginal opening. There should be a small opening in it to allow the passage of menstrual blood. I compare my hymen to a pink flower. It looks like it has tiny petals (5) and it covers my vaginal opening. The hymen is tissue (skin in this case), it may slightly cover the vaginal opening or almost completely cover the vaginal opening, and some girls (20%) are born without a hymen or may tear the tissue in early childhood; so don't be alarmed if you don't feel that you have one! Lack of a hymen does not mean a girl has been sexually active! You are a virgin until first intercourse - hymen or none.


Is there a layer to brake when you use a tampon?

No, there is no layer to break when using tampons. You may be getting confused about the hymen - this is tissue that surrounds the vaginal opening in some girls, however the hymen normally doesn't cover much of the vaginal opening so a tampon can easily pass through it, the hymen is also flexible so can stretch to accommodate larger things. Tampons can tear the hymen, but this is uncommon.


Can using a tampon damage your hymen in any way?

It depends. Usually a tampon will not damage your hymen. Remember, though, using a tampon does not mean you're not a virgin. You only lose your virginity when you have sexual intercourse.


Can you break your hymen when dancing?

No, you cannot 'break' your hymen when dancing.The hymen is tissue surrounding the vaginal opening, it can be stretched or torn as a result of penetration - but even then as it doesn't cover much of the vaginal opening and is flexible it will normally stretch to accommodate penetration, and only tear if penetration is rough or forced.Dancing cannot tear your hymen, nor can it tear from any other form of exercise. The hymen cannot spontaneously tear, and certainly it wouldn't be more likely to tear than any other vaginal tissues.
