Will I still be a virgin if I use a tampon?

Yes, you will still be a virgin if you use a tampon and have not yet had sex. Virginity can mean different things to different people. Most people define “losing virginity” as the first time that someone has penis-in-vagina sex. Some others might define it as their first sexual encounter with a partner. Some people even judge virginity based on how intact the hymen is, which comes in many different shapes and sizes and can stretch because of reasons besides sex, such as sports. Using a tampon might stretch the hymen slightly but this will not affect your virginity status.
