A member asked:

Can your cherry (hymen) be popped from a tampon?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Easily: It may be small enough in diameter to slip in, but since it will become larger in diameter after it absorbs menstrual blood, the hymen can be torn when it is removed.The term is a rather crude one cited by teen males for achieving success at a sexual encounter with a virgin.I would not apply it to this event.
