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.
