If one uses a tampon, does that mean one loses her virginity??

No. A girl can only lose her virginity by having sexual intercourse. Since the hymen (a membrane that stretches across the vaginal opening), is often thought to be a sign of virginity, some people think inserting a tampon will cause trauma. But the hymen naturally stretches. If it completely blocks your vaginal opening, menstrual fluid can't leave your body.

Yes, when a girl loses her virginity - when the hymen breaks...usually she'll bleed a little.  I guess that the red color of blood might have something to do with this term...and a girls anatomy too...don't know, but anyway, that's what it means.

If I were you I would stick to wearing pads.Although tampons are convenient and less messy tampons can cause an infection if they are left in too long, also your body needs to flush itself so my personal opinion is to stick with the pads, maybe until your a little older.

The gyno is right sweetie...if you use a tampon, that is not sex. If he did not penetrate you are still a virgin. (The guy above is wrong, how is kissing sex) Do not let anyone tell you differently, you are a virgin and that is something to be proud of.

As I understand it a virgin is someone who has not had sexual intercourse. Therefore, the answer to your question is - yes. Finger penetration does not remove virginity. In certain societies virginity is tested by examining whether the hymen is still intact but this is by no means a fair test as the hymen can break via a multitude of ways. Going off on a tangent for a moment - its a shame that these days we hide behind technical definitions rather than concentrate on intent. A old girlfriend of mine used to say she was a ' technical virgin' meaning, even though we had never had sexual intercourse, she couldnt really classify herself as a virgin because we'd done pretty well everything else. :-) If you are still a virgin - wear it proudly!!

It is when a woman loses her virginity. Usually that is the first time her hymen is torn which will cause her to bleed. So ... we say that her "cherry" was popped.

hey. okay. i was 16 when i first tried a tampon and it didnt hurt just because i really really didnt want it to. i have to say that i wasnt a virgin when i used it for the first time. if you are a virgin, then putting in the tampon will rip your tissue ( cherry) so it might hurt a little bit. i really recommend the pearl in the Jr. or light size. they are very thin so it will be easier to get in. heres an easy position for you to try. put one leg on top of the toilet seat and then spread your legs ( bend your knees) this will open up that area so it wont be too tight and might help the tampon go in easier. good luck, its not an easy thing to do at first, so bring a few tampons in the bathroom with you, in case you dont get it on the first or second try.

There is no accurate way to tell if a woman is a virgin or not. Even checking her hymen is fairly inaccuarate, because there are many things that can cause it to break, from strenuous athletic activity, particularly gymnastics, to inserting tampons and masturbating. Aside from the hymen, there are no physical or even chemical signs of the loss of virginity.

No, not every woman does.\n\nThere is sometimes some bleeding because Females have a hymen (slang name "cherry") which is a thin membrane that partially covers the vaginal opening in girls. \n\nSexual activity would usually puncture this membrane which leads to a bit of blood. BUT there are other activities (various sports, injuries, etc) that may puncture the membrane. In these cases, these females will not experience bleeding the first time they lose their virginity.\n\nHope that this helps! :)

oh dear....no it wont "de-virginize" you...:)  you wont bleed any more when you put it in, as you are when you NEED to put it in.  Any girl can wear a tampon, just make sure you put it in all the way, or else it wont be at all comfortable...anymore ?s about it you can email me or add on to your question above.

EVERYONE THINKS IM NOT A VIRGIN JUST BECAUSE I WEAR SUPER HUGE TAMPONS, ITS NOT MY FAULT IF I HAVE A HEAVY FLOW AND A WIDE SET VAGINA. LMAO!!!!!!!!!

Yes...a girl can have a sex the first time and not bleed. That just means her hymen broke some how else....ex...tampon, biking riding, ect.

Yes, you can still use tampons if you're a virgin....and no, it doesn't hurt if you know where to put it. Once it's in, you don't even know it's there. The only evidence is the small string that's there so you can remove it later, and that's virtually unnoticeable. \n\nIt's all in the technique, really... I've found that it's easiest to insert a tampon if you're sitting on the toilet with your legs wide apart, which relaxes the muscles in your pelvic area. The other trick is to remember to go up and back, towards the center of your body, because that's the direction of the vagina.  \n\nIt's also wise to use the lowest absorbency that will control your flow...using a tampon that's too absorbent will make it harder to get it out.

Yes, you will get some pool water in your vagina VIA the tampon.  Just make sure that when you get out of the water you change it right away.  Don't worry about it, I have gone swimming many, many times while wearing a tampon and never had any problems.  I was on my high school swim team and we were in the pool everyday for 2 hours a day and I was OK.    Just go swimming and have a good time.

Madam, you understand the system all wrong.\n\nBeing a virgin is having the hymen intact. Now a days due to exercises, cycling and other sports, the hymen tears itself,but that does not mean the virginity islost.\n\nEven during virginity, the menstrual flow comes autmatically, as there is space in the vagina to discharge it.The cramps will follow in either case.Tampons/pads you will have to use.\n\nAnd there is no question of saving the eggs.They are produced every cycle of 28 days, and discharged if not consumed by male sperms during cotius.\n\nRemove the silly myths from your mind.\n\nI am a male, and have a daughter your age. I know better.

No, you are still a virgin. Now some people think that you lose your virginity if your hymen is broken.. but if that was the case then I lost my virginity when I was twelve thanks to my first period(tampon)! So I personally do not see how using a toy would make it to where you are no longer a virgin. It's just a form of masturbation... Guys don't lose their virginity when they play with themselves, do they?! :)\n\nSorry I was a little personal... And in some peoples eyes graphic... But it's just my opinion and experience speaking! :)
