Myth #1: You Shouldn’t Use A Tampon Until You’re Old Enough!
Fact: There is no age restriction for using a tampon! People believe that using tampons will ruin the virginity of a woman, as the hymen would get damaged. Well, it's just a belief!
Myth #2: You Cannot Get Pregnant During Your Period
Fact: It is not true! You CAN get pregnant during your period! This is something that most women are not aware of! Remember that a sperm can live up to 3-5 days and ovulation can occur during, or soon after, the bleeding phase.
Myth #3: Period Should Last For Exactly One Week
Fact: Everyone's menstrual cycle is different. A perfect natural period will last anywhere between 3 and 7 days. If the period is typically longer or shorter than a week, then a doctor's visit is a must!
Myth #4: Take Rest And Avoid Exercise
Fact: Whoever came up with this myth is a fool! Exercising helps to control PMS symptoms and menstrual cramps, as it increases the supply of oxygen to your muscles. Hence, exercising is good during the menstrual cycle!

Myth #6: A Tampon Can Get Lost Inside Your Vagina!
Fact: This can be called a Joke! Nothing can get lost in your vagina. It's not a cave down there, as a woman's vagina ends at the cervix. Period!
