Can a tampon break your cherry?

You don't have a cherry and nothing breaks - you may have a hymen which is a layer of tissue around the inside of the vaginal opening. As long as you're gentle the hymen doesn't cover much and will stretch so tampon use shouldn't tear the hymen at all. The hymen has nothing to do with virginity - virginity refer to whether or not someone has had sex with someone else, the hymen can be torn long before you have sex or remain in tact long after you have sex.


Can you break your cherry horseriding?

You cannot lose your virginity from horseriding. This question probably stems from the myth that a girls hymen (skin covering the vaginal entrance) can break from horseback riding. This is not a myth, but fact, but simply breaking your hymen does not mean that you have lost your virginity. Nowadays, many girls break their hymen before having any sexual contact. It is neither a good nor bad thing, just a fact of the world. Please do not stop doing something that you love, like horseriding, for fear of losing your virginity or breaking your hymen.
