yes, it can break it..
wait for maybe a year before you use a tampon. Pads are easier and they dont hurt at all.

Not true. And tampons don't hurt. Good luck!

tampons dont hurt unless you dont put them in right.
but you shouldnt have a problem and there are directions
on the box. i would suggest using teen sized tampons,
or a smaller size until you get used to it.l

and no it dosent hurt if it breaks you wont even feel it.

If this is your first period - I woudl sugegst using pads - just so you get to know your period , flow rate etc etc .

And for firstime tampon users I would suggest using an applicator as its fool proof and cleaner.

They do not hurt though - can be uncomfortable it put in not far enough but they settle in in about 5 mins anyway.

Also a bit sore to insert if your flow it REALLY light - if this is the case just wait an hour or so and then insert it

Good Day,

There is no age recommendation for use of a tampon..They make very slender tampons made just for the first time user.These will not usually damage the hymen. Do not insert it in to far. Every box comes with directions on how to properly insert the tampon. If your tampon is placed in properly it will not hurt you at all. But if you hurt right after you did not insert the tampon in correctly.

When using the tampon be sure to keep up with your hygiene.. And understand how to properly use it. It is important to understand ones own blood flow so you know and understand what type of flo you have so you buy the proper tampon to accommodate your blood flow.

To have your cherry popped it can hurt but not because you lost your hymen. But due to the stretching your body undergoes during sex.

As well as many girls have lost their hymen during horse back ridding and never knew that it was possible to lose it during this and it did not hurt them. As well as many other ways your body does lose your hymen.

Hope this helps.

Hymen breaks easily. You can break it playing sports, riding a bike, etc. If you've ridden bikes a fair amount or are active in sports, you probably already 'popped the cherry' (btw that's more of a sexual term guys use).

I rarely use tampons (only if I have to) cause it feel uncomfortable to me. It's an odd feeling I must say (anything going inside you in that area feels odd at first 0.o), but in the end tampons really help. Not everyone uses them tho, and you should be aware of the risks (yes, there are risks to using tampons).

And if it's your first period, just use pads. It's less complicated that way, and usually (USUALLY, depends) the flow isn't heavy enough. Best to use tampons for the first two days when the flow is really heavy. Afterwards just use lighter pads, like Light Day or something.
But I do suggest waiting a year minimum before even thinking of using tampons, like 'hello' said.
