Are you asking this question because you are concerned that an intact Hymen is the sign of virginity? If so you would be wrong. Today's women can have her Hyman dislodged or ruptured through a variety of causes none of which would be any reason for her to have lost her virginity.
Today's definition for Female Virginity is: Never having a Penis penetrate her Vagina.
Once a penis penetrates her vagina a women has lost her virginity. Whether on penetration the Hymen is ruptured or is even in place upon penetration has nothing to do with virginity or its loss.
The biggest cause for a ruptured Hymen is the use of Tampons. Fingering is the next biggest cause followed by athletics. Any or all of these could cause you Hymen to become dislodged.
In order for you to see if your Hymen is still intact it would take a mirror and a lot of gyrations on your part and you still may not be able to tell. Your doctor upon giving you a female examination could tell you.
If you are 14 or older your doctor could examine you and give you an answer in total confidentiality. Meaning you could ask for the examination. The doctor could do the exam and mom cannot be told the results. The doctor cannot tell if you are sexually active just by examining you. You would have tell the doctor if you are.
The confidentiality granted you for this exam comes under a federal law called HIPPA. IT covers the reproductive systems of people your age and was granted to young people, male and female, so they would seek a doctors help when needed without parental help or knowledge if need be.
Mother can no longer be in an exam room with you if any type of female exam is going to be done. Your parents are no longer entitled to know anything about your medical history as it relates to your reproductive system. Doctors can not tell them or anyone else without your written consent. Your parents cannot force you to undergo any procedures relating to your reproductive system and this includes abortions.
So in short to answer your question. For you to see if your Hymen is in tact is hard for you to do yourself. Someone else would have to help you or look for you. That someone can be your doctor and if you are 14 or over your parents need not know you have seen the doctor or what the doctor tells you. This is how the law is written .

Hymen's don't pop like a balloon, they can tear a bit if the male having sex with you is rough. But in almost all cases, a womans hymen stretches like a rubber band.
Heres a good illustration. Imagine an empty toilet paper roll as the hymen. Now imagine panty hose stretched over the opening and a hole in the hose smaller in circumferance than the vaginal opening. If you tried to put anything into the tube, the remaining hose would stretch to accomodate. Thats what happens with the vagina. Use of tampons can stretch it a little, use of a toy will stretch it more or even using your own fingers, adding one at a time as it adjusts.
Any actual tears to the hymen or any part of your tender parts, will heal just fine on its own. Hope this answers your question.
