Question: My mom says tampons are not for virgins Is that true.? are tampons safe to use.?
Answers:
I have no idea where your mom could have gotten that information, but I believe you are being mislead. If you would feel more comfortable using tampons than pads, then go right ahead. I will say, however, that Toxic Shock Syndrome has been related to the use of Tampons. Therefore, it is important that you change your tampon regularly. If you want to know more about TSS (Toxic Shock Syndrome) go to : www.internetstorekeeper.com/dangers-tamp... If you want to be on the safe side, you should use pads. Hope this helps!!!Health Question & Answer

they're safe, and way more comfortable than pads. She probably means: if you insert a tampon wrong there's the off chance you could break your hymen (if you weren't a virgin it would already be broken, thus tampons are "safe"). But it's not a big deal and what she's telling you is not really on par with the truthHealth Question & Answer

They're fine. That doesn't make any sense unless it's some kind of a religious or cultural thing. It's possible, though not likely, that you could break your hymen with a tampon and some cultures consider that to be a way of telling whether or not a girl is a virgin.

Other than that - there's nothing unsafe at all about using tampons.Health Question & Answer

jesus....what a purist attitude. If god were so strict, he wouldn't have allowed tampons...besides, you can tear your virginity simply by doing the splits or riding a horse(hence the reason why women rode "sidesaddle")

I agree that it's fine to use them. But you'll want to try smaller ones first, until you get used to them. Don''t go out and buy the Super Plus size. :-) The back of the box should tell you the different sizes. Health Question & Answer
