I think mine broke on its own. Or maybe I never had one lol. Sounds like a sucky situation, sorry hun

I've been trying, but at this point I think I'm going to wait to see my gynecologist in June. :/

I have a pretty high tolerance for pain, but this just hurts too much and I still can't even get 1.5" past it. I'm considering trying 1.25" since it feels like it's SO CLOSE, but I'm kind of meh on it and feel like I'd rather talk to my doctor before buying something else.

Chirple, you're so cute! Bless your heart though. That sounds very painful! Hope you feel better.

My hymen wasn't that hard to break. Broke the first time I had sex, but I'd been a gymnast from the time I was 4 until 12 and strangely enough, it never broke during that time.

PS. I realize you KNOW your hymen's still there. That's totally possible. To others though, it can be extremely painful when something rams there and you feel it hit, hurt and whatever your using (dildo, penis) stops/is blocked from going deeper. That can also be your cervix. It's a round little thing up there with a tiny hole or slit in it (your opening to the uterus) Alot of women describe that pain and think it's a hymen when it's really their cervix. I'm not talking about your Chirple. This conversation though, reminded me of this happening. Anyways, when you're aroused the vagina elongates and the cervix is a bit harder to reach or hit. if you've ever used a dildo or vibe and in the beginning it felt painful when it hit and a few mins later you're able to insert deeper with no pain. That's just the cervix in those cases. It can be extremely painful when it's hit, if you've ever bruised it with hard toys, you know what I mean!

I broke my hymen as a little kid when I feel on the arm of a chair. I had to go to the hospital, lol I remember it like it was yesterday even though it was about 20 years ago. It wasnt fun in the least bit.

I feel for you! I wish I could give some helpful advice or something, but I'm in a similar predicament myself. My hymen hates me (perhaps rightfully so, given the amount of abuse it's taken). I voted "Other".

I was 3-ish I fell off some caterpillar playground thing and straddled one of the bars. Bleeding from my vagina, doctors at the ER said my hymen was damaged but still intact, and there were no further injuries.

On my 5th birthday I was playing on a historical monument of a canon at the local part, fell off and straddled the sharp iron arm of one of the seats in the front. Doctors at the ER said my hymen was ruptured, but possibly still partially intact. Also, due to the extensive injuries between my legs, I could not ride my new toy bouncy ball that I'd been wanting.

When I was 9 I slipped while getting out of the shower and, guess what? Yep! I straddled the damn edge of the tub. By this time we assume my hymen is good as dead, but I chipped one of my front teeth and get sent to the dentist to have it filed down.

Started masturbating at around 11, but to this day I cannot use anything thicker than my two fingers without pain and discomfort. I have used thick toys before, hoping to push past it, to no avail. Doc says some of my hymen is probably still there, lurking around like the living dead. That's nice.

Seeing as I've never actually had sex, I can't imagine what kind of fun THAT will be when the time comes. How should I explain it so as to not freak out the lucky guy? "Oh yeah um, I'm a virgin. Also, my zombie cherry is here to stay. Get acquainted or GTFO."

I believe mine was broke the first time I was fingered, so I'd say that was easy. I remember a little blood and pain, but nothing bad.

tampon did it. sporty people tend to thin theirs out =P did the doc even suggest having it removed? ^_^ they have plastic surgery to make them so why not to break them?

Mine is already gone....hope you can get yours to break!

Sorry to hear that, truly. My wife's was relatively easy to break the first time we had sex, but I would ask your doctor about surgery rather than living with disappointment and pain.

I never really experienced a "breaking." I mean, I used toys from a youngish age, never experiences pain, and lost my virginity without any notable pain, either. *shrugs*

If I were you I would look into having it surgically removed. My friend recently had that done and is happy with it. She just had a couple days of tenderness and then it was all good. You usually don't even need stitches.

I have no clue when mine broke, but it wasn't an issue the first time I had sex...

My first time with PIV sucked and there was blood everywhere and he was so pissed at me for it. My hymen absolutely did not want to be broken! I totally and completely feel your pain.

I'd suggest seeing your doctor and perhaps getting it surgically removed (the things they do, these days!). Good luck.

Couldn't you have your doctor cut it for you?

I didn't have to do this, but my hymen finally gave way after being a total bitch for a few months of having sex.

I have never experienced blood, just pain....so I don't know if it's still intact or not. I have never asked my doctor while she is down there. I actually experience a bit of pain whenever I use my Mustang after a while. Maybe my hymen is still intact...

The hymen doesn't break, it only stretches and sometimes tears a little with penetration. That being said mine, with years of masturbation and super tampons, is well stretched out.

Mine was tough to get used to insertion, but my hymen never broke, it's just very stretched.

I never really had a hymen, but my partner has the same issue you have. We tried tapered toys and gradually stretching over a period of days. If you don't stretch regularly it goes back to its original position.

I don't know how or when mine broke.

I'm pretty sure I broke mine while I was on my first period. I accidentally put a tampon in before removing my old one (anxiety of a friend rushing me in a middle school bathroom). I had to pull them both out and they came out side by side. When I lost my virginity I experienced pain from being tense but no blood or anything of the sort.

Mine was a bitch. We had attempted intercourse once or twice, the pain was horrific, so we had to stop and try another time. Eventually, we found the most comfortable position we could, put down a towel, broke it quick, and stopped there. After a few days, everything was fine, and sex was a go. But boy that was not a fun process.
