Hymen is a thin membrane that covers the vaginal opening from inside. It may vary in shapes, with most common being a half-moon shape that allows menstrual blood to flow out through vagina. The hymen has a small opening about the size of your finger. It is usually large enough for you to pass a tampon. You may experience discomfort while using a tampon, but being able to pass it does not mean you have broken your hymen.
