Is it true that a tampon can tear your hymen a little especially if its your first time trying one?

TEMPONS TEAR HYMEN: No it is not true but if it is first time using it you have to read the instructions and then learn how to use it properly.

Not to worry: Women and girls may be judged by their happiness, their friendliness, and many other wonderful traits, but not by the condition of their hymens. It makes absolutely no difference whether a person has a big hymen, little hymen, broken hymen, unbroken hymen, etc... One need not worry about hymens when using pads or tampons.

True: The hymenal opening may be smaller than the tampon plus the hymen may be delicate enough to tear easily.
