All the hymen is is some skin folds at the side of the vagina and not all women have them. They might tear or stretch when a woman first have sex but if there is lots of blood the chances are the man was a very bad lover.

And Toaster, I know we’re supposed to be talking about this, and getting it out in the open. But your description kind of makes me wants to say… ew. I wouldn’t go so far to say that my plan has backfired, but… are you trying to make my plan backfire?

It is entirely possible that sometime, somewhere, some religious nutter deemed tampons to be more sexualized than pads because they had to be inserted, and if them wimmins put anything in their vaginas they’ll just lose all rationality and morality and become sluts, right? And then maybe they went on some kind of campaign similar to the one right before Prohibition where roving groups of women would force liquor stores to close by occupying them and praying until they did to get bodega owners to hide the tampons and encourage the clean, holier alternative. I don’t see how a pad would be any cleaner than a tampon as it would only allow for things to soak, crust, and get up in every crack and/or hair there, but whatever, I can’t claim that the religious types make any sense.

The only other theory I have is even more absurd, but only because the probability that robotic ninja monkeys speak anything other than Fortran is low.
