it is very unlikely (but often repeated)
I had pap tests for 6 years while my hymen remained intact and a speculem is much bigger than a tampon
Many people are under the impression that the hymen is located within the vagina. It is not. It’s a mucous membrane that is part of the vulva, the external genital organs. It’s located outside the vagina. The hymen is a layer of tissue, just like the tissue around the opening of your vagina that partially conceals the vaginal orifice. You may or may not have one, most females do.
Some hymens are elastic enough to permit a penis to enter without tearing, or they tear only partially, and there is NO bleeding at all. When adequately lubricated the vagina is fairly 'flexible' and will stretch without discomfort for most women. Sometimes, a woman has sex for years with no real 'tearing' at all, only stretching of the hymen and then at another time the same woman might tear from 'rough sex' or sex with a different partner with a larger penis. Remnants of the hymen are usually still present until a woman delivers a baby vaginally.

It can tear your hymen; yes. Anything like being athletic, horse back riding and tampon usage can do so. However, don't always assume it either. I am a very active person in horse back riding and extreme things, but my hymen was still intact.

Yes, girls' hymens are all different; coming in different shapes and thicknesses (seriously).... so I wouldn't be surprised if it tore from a tampon. Some girls' hymens are so thin they tear from certain types of physical exercise..... eg horse riding, bike riding etc.

no, ask your doctor. Your hymen is only torn if you have sex. I tried to use a tampon as an excuse with my doctor and he didint believe me and told my mother. (when I was 16)

It can do, but the hymen is very flexible, and can stretch without tearing.

Well, you can tear your hymen,l but i don't think that you will. It never happened to me.

Why not? Any objects you insert into the "black hole" will poked in-cause 'injuries', sometimes even abnormal exercising will do the tears but its entirely defend on strenght of individual membrances.
