Everyone's hymen is different. Many peoples' hymens naturally have less tissue, or are already stretched out of the way from other things (like tampons), so they don't have pain or bleeding the first time they have sex.
Some women will bleed after having sex for the first time, while others will not. Both are perfectly normal. A woman may bleed when she has penetrative sex for the first time because of her hymen stretching or tearing. The hymen is a thin piece of skin that partially covers the entrance to the vagina.
Some girls bleed the first time they have sex, but not all girls do. The reason some girls bleed the first time they have sex is because their hymen stretches or tears. The hymen is a very thin piece of skin-like tissue that partly covers the opening of the vagina. Some girls are born without much of a hymen.
All girls are born with a hymen but some girls are born with more hymen tissue that makes the size of the opening smaller. Most of the time with first vaginal intercourse, the hymen stretches to make a bigger opening and there is no bleeding.
She said that it's absolutely normal not to bleed during your first sexual contact as there are many reasons behind it. She asked if I was active in sports activities, as it could lead to hymen breakage. She further explained “when you have vaginal sex for the first time, your hymen gets ruptured.

You likely will not know if your hymen is still intact. Signs of a broken hymen might be light spotting or bleeding, discomfort or visible skin around your vaginal opening. In most cases, your hymen wears down naturally over time.
Just like the vulva, hymens don't all look the same. Some may be larger than others, some have fringing, while others are more lobed-shaped. Some have round holes, others have perforations shaped like a half-moon. There is not a standard of 'normal' when it comes to what hymens look like.
Typically, what is left of one's hymen will have many holes and openings or may only be a slight residual ring around the vaginal opening. Also, it's important to understand that hymen's don't "pop" or even necessarily break. Usually what occurs is a stretching of the hymen during insertive activities.
The hymen surrounds your vaginal opening like a ring or donut, and then, as it tears or stretches, it appears more like a crescent. If you have an annular or crescent-shaped hymen, it might look slightly different depending on the way your hymen has stretched or torn.
Tampons work just as well for girls who are virgins as they do for girls who have had sex. And even though using a tampon can occasionally cause a girl's hymen to stretch or tear, it does not cause a girl to lose her virginity.
On the first occurrence of sexual intercourse, a small flap of vaginal skin called the hymen is often stretched and broken. The minor bleeding this causes can last 1 to 2 days.
For people who have one, the hymen can be easy to detect. It usually lies within 0.8 inches (1–2 centimeters) of the vaginal opening, creating a partial boundary between the external and internal genital organs.
Those whose hymen eventually breaks over time and experience bleeding may even think that the bleeding is merely from their period. Once your hymen has broken, it will not grow back.
I would suggest you speak to your husband about the various ways a hymen can break and can also consider providing him with some facts from a doctor or a marriage/sex counsellor.
While it is not recommended to swim with a sanitary pad in place, both tampons and menstrual cups are completely safe to use internally. Many competitive swimmers use these options when participating in practices or events on their period.
Size: One of the biggest advantages the tampon has over pads and other menstrual products is its size. Tampons are small and portable. You can easily slip them into your pocket or a purse, and carry them around regularly in case your period ever sneaks up on you.
Tearing or stretching of the hymen can be caused by intercourse or other sexual activity, but also sports and physical activity (like falling onto that middle bar on your bike frame).
Thus, this is the key difference between hymen blood and period blood. The cause of hymen splitting can be a physical cause, while period blood release is a natural process that takes place in all women. Moreover, hymen blood is thin and bright red in color while period blood is thick and dark red in color.
No. Masturbating or using sex toys won't change your menstrual cycle.
"I'm here to listen if you want to talk about anything.” Give them a chance to open up to you. They might just want to vent about their cramps or talk about what's on their mind (especially if they're feeling sad). Your listening ear will make them feel truly supported.
