Hi anon,

The hymen is a thin piece of tissue that partially covers the vaginal opening in some people. Some people can see their hymens and others can’t.

To find out more about the hymen, what happens is it breaks or tears (which doesn’t happen to everyone, some hymens stretch and never break) and what happens if there is blood check out this FAQ from our Web site.
