Word games: Yes you can break your hymen with a tampon, or any other foreign object inserted in that location. The concept of virginity has to do with partner sex, if you have never had it you are a virgin. Some cultures use the intact hymen as a defining feature, but that is a weak definition.Some women are born without a significant hymen or lose it in non sexual activities in childhood.

Virginity: The normal hymen is a circle of elastic tissue around the vagina opening, like a stretchy bracelet. Its a myth that it always breaks with sex; it usually just stretches. Likewise, tampons are unlikely to break anything. Your hymen will just stretch to let the tampon go inside. Virginity is a quality only you will decide to change, not a physical thing that anyone can tell by looking at your hymen
