Okay... I am a woman, and yet I still have no clue what part of me is the hymen. I've heard that some women don't have them or that they break early on sometimes. Can the hymen be broken by wearing tampons? And another thing: How can a woman have her period of she has a hymen? Wouldn't a hymen block off the vagina? I know that's a stupid quesiton and obviously the hymen wouldn't stop a woman from having her cycle... but I am very confused! I've heard that the hymen is skin covering the entrance to the vagina... is it visible or not visible? Thanks

Ok, first of all lets clear a few things up. Hymen sizes are different for each woman. Mine is very small, it is barely there. I don't believe I have torn it, and I am still a virgin. To locate your hymen put your finger at the tip of your vagina, right at the top and drag it down until you get where you would put your tampon ( vagina ) - stick it slightly in and you should feel a tiny fold of skin (unless you broke yours, or maybe you didn't ever have one) Some people need their hymen broken by a doctor because it covers their entire vagina, others only have and having a slightly large hymen can be painful. I think if you spread your legs out you might feel the skin contract and it might be a tad painful if yours is still intact. So, yes - if a woman had a large hymne she could not have her period properly, as I said, ad doctor visit may be required. Your hymen should be very visible, unless of course it doesn't exist.

Sorry, this is kind of out of order...and a lot of rambling, I am going to stop right now!haha, hope I helped <3
