Pads have been the most preferred product but it’s now time to upgrade into something less of a hassle, so you can live your period days to the fullest. And this is possible through Lemme Be Tampons, which can be directly inserted in the vagina, with only a small string visible outside. Tampons efficiently absorb all the menstrual blood before it comes out, so they are quite convenient.

1. There is no sensation of wet feeling

Tampons are empowering, comfortable and a great option for teenagers, to continue experiencing and exploring life without any hesitation, being carefree and confident.  

Busting myths around hymen breakage and tampon usage for teens

Myth 1: The hymen breaks

The hymen is a membranous tissue and is elastic in nature. It doesn’t break, but it instead bends or it’s torn according to the pressure put on it or stretches to simply accommodate it. The hymen does not actually go anywhere once it’s torn. It just sticks around, gradually thinning away over time. So the hymen does not technically break but it stretches.

Myth 2: I will lose my virginity if I use a Tampon

A virgin is someone who’s never had sexual intercourse. There is a common myth that a person is only a virgin if their hymen is not torn! Hence using a tampon will not affect a person’s virginity under any circumstances.

Ideas and misconceptions about hymen are widely held in today’s societies.
The sad part is that even in today’s day and age, peopel are still put under pressure to live up to these myths.  It’s time we put these myths to end.
