The hymen has a reputation for being an indicator of sexual activity — like a hard, seal-like covering that blocks your vagina — but it usually has no connection to whether a female has had sex. In reality, it’s soft and elastic and doesn’t necessarily block your vaginal opening. It can break from everyday activities, inserting a tampon or having sex. –
What happens when a woman’s hymen breaks?
Some know when their hymen breaks, while others don’t. Like other tissues in your body, your hymen is flexible and can stretch. It doesn’t usually tear the first time it’s pressed on. Rather, it breaks as a result of being worn down. It’s not like the instant pain you’d feel if you tore a muscle or broke a bone.
Some people experience pain or light bleeding when their hymen breaks, but most will feel nothing. Since it’s a flexible piece of tissue, it stretches and thins over time from day-to-day activities or from using tampons. If you bleed when your hymen breaks, you may believe it’s your period or spotting.
