I just got my period in November so I have only had it 3 times...
I want to use a tampon so bad because it's so much less hastle...
but it hurt...
so I talked to my mom and she said that there is this thing called a "cherry" and that to use a tampon you'd have to break it or else it would hurt too bad. And that some girls break it with a tampon or with sex.. and I know the second one is WAY out of the question... but I'm kinda scared
so if any girl knows what it feels like to break it with a tampon please tell me if it's worth it to wait..
THX

Helpful answered Thursday January 25 2007, 9:45 pm: It's actually called the hymen, and it is a membrane that goes across the passage. It is common for a girl to be a little scared about this. But really, it wouldn't hurt for most girls, it would just be uncomfortable. The hymen may break during sexual intercourse, or when a tampon is inserted inside, or even if a girl is involved in a lot of physical activity.
You don't need to be worried that it will hurt really bad, just try it while you are on your next period (do it with a small size tampon) and see how you feel. The membrane could possibly be broken already. Hope I helped! [ Helpful's advice column | Ask Helpful A Question ]

you see, that opening is bigger than you think. A small tampon usually does not break it.
You can pop you cherry all sorts of ways.. from dancing to riding a bike.
It probably is hurting because you are inserting it wrong.
Heres how i do it:
put one leg on the toilet seat and open your legs.
aim for your butt i guess or your back
