does menstrual cup breaks hymen review

Using a menstrual cup does not break the hymen, but it can stretch or tear it just like other period products such as tampons. The hymen is a thin piece of elastic tissue that can stretch or tear, but the vagina is made of sturdier stuff. It is important to note that everyones hymen is different and its thin membrane may not even partially cover the vagina. Inserting a foreign object into the body can be intimidating, especially if it is the first time exploring the vagina, but with time, using a menstrual cup may give a better understanding of the anatomy and help feel more in tune with the body. It is recommended to be gentle during insertion and removal and use the smallest possible fold, like the punch-down fold or 7-fold, and apply a water-based lubricant on the menstrual cup before insertion if worried about the hymen tearing. It is also important to note that the state of the hymen is not a reliable indicator to prove or disprove virginity.
