hymen help...

sooo after a lot of trying to get a tampon in, i finally did it right. only problem: it got stuck in my hymen while i was trying to take it out, which probably explains why i had such a hard time getting it in. my sister had the same problem and was told to just use a lighter absorbency by an obgyn, which she did, but i happened to her again. i used the lightest flow version of tampax pearl. i would really like to be able to use tampons and not have to wear pads. anyone else have this problem or some insight as to fixing issue? thanks!
