THE HYMEN IS NOT, WE REPEAT NOT, LIKE THE FOIL SEAL ON COFFEE JARS

Also this? Big yikes. Mega yikes. Where do we even begin with how yikes it is? The hymen isn't tightness! The tightening gels are really bad for your vagina, they're usually an irritant and/or drying agent! Tightness is in no way linked to having or not having had PiV sex anyway!

we don't want to ask what the tweezers are for

And regarding blood: another thing which has been linked to virginity, and another thing which is in no way linked to virginity.

Virginity is a social construct, OK? And it's a social construct which carries with it a lot of unscientific and plainly misogynistic baggage.
