Question

Janice recently began menstruating. She has heard from her friends that she should not use tampons because that would make her lose her virginity. What information can you offer Janice?

Answer 1

Using tampons will not make Janice lose her virginity. The only way she can do that is through sex. A tampon can break her hymen which is often misinterpreted as losing virginity. This has a low probability of happening. Janice doesn't need to worry about losing her virginity to a tampon.
