The concept of virginity still holds significant importance in many cultures. Unfortunately, it is often associated with the virtue and dignity of women. So, the stigma around the loss of virginity is real. However, it is important to observe that virginity is not a medical term. It is a cultural and social construct, as emphasised in an article released by WHO.
An artificial hymen repair kit allows women to restore virginity that could have been lost due to several reasons, such as indulging in sports, strenuous physical activities, or sexual intercourse. This kit can be a great solution to not only protect women’s dignity but save them from life-threatening situations. Unfortunately, honour killing is still prevalent in some parts of the country.
An artificial hymen repair kit consists of a synthetic membrane that gets attached to the insides of the vagina when inserted properly. This membrane mimics an intact hymen during sexual intercourse. When an artificial hymen breaks, you will also experience a small amount of bleeding without any pain, and this blood is not to be mistaken for real blood. In reality, it is a blood-like colour to give you and your partner the ‘first time’ like experience.
Sadly, amidst all the talks about women empowerment, something as personal as the sexuality of a woman is oppressed and controlled by society. For many women, proving their virginity to their partner is essential. And this virginity test entails determining the presence of intact hymen. Although, due to a lack of sex education and awareness, people are led to believe that a broken hymen indicates previous sexual intercourse, which is not true. The hymen may break due to several reasons such as an injury, accident, gymnastics, sports, and physical activities.
Virginity testing is not permitted by the law. As per WHO, virginity testing has no scientific basis and hence, is now declared an act of ‘human rights violation’.
Many medical researches have been conducted to determine that a ruptured hymen cannot be used as evidence of a female’s virginity loss. Therefore, the presence or absence of an intact hymen cannot be used as a measure to confirm if a woman has experienced sexual intercourse or not. (Not to forget that due to certain genetic disorders, some girls are born without a hymen)
Although there are mixed views about using an artificial hymen, it is a cost-effective and easy solution for women who are still part of an orthodox set-up.
An artificial hymen kit helps women to restore the broken hymen and keep their past lives a secret. An artificial repair kit can be used to:-

Besides the products like an artificial hymen that can be externally placed into the vagina, a surgical procedure known as hymenoplasty is used for hymen repair and reconstruction. In this procedure, the person's tissues are used to reconstruct the hymen naturally. It is also a fast and effective way to repair torn hymen and regain virginity.

The hymen is a thin and fleshy tissue located at the vaginal opening. It is formed while the foetus is developing and present at birth. Over time, the hymen gets stretched as it becomes thinner. This over-stretching is commonly referred to as a ‘tear’. When the hymen breaks, some people may experience pain and bleeding, but mostly it is unnoticeable.
Yes, there are several ways to restore virginity. You can get an artificial hymen repair kit or go for hymenoplasty - a surgical procedure to recreate hymen using the tissues of the female.
An artificial hymen repair kit usually consists of two sterile cellular membranes and synthetic blood to stimulate blood loss during sexual intercourse.
In females, the natural hymen is present by birth. It is a thin fleshy tissue that can tear due to various reasons like physical exercises, sexual intercourse, etc., whereas the artificial hymen is inserted externally. It is a synthetic membrane that, when properly inserted, sticks to the insides of the vagina. It also contains fake blood that is released during sexual intercourse.
Artificial hymen can be useful for women belonging to cultures where people are exposed to life-threatening risks due to the absence of virginity.
The most important benefits of an artificial hymen are:-
You should avoid using an artificial hymen in the following conditions:
No, an artificial hymen only lasts until it is broken again.
To insert an artificial hymen, lie down in a comfortable position and insert the synthetic membrane using your index fingers while holding the folds of the vagina (don’t forget to wash your hands before inserting the hymen).
You don’t need external help to insert an artificial hymen. Anyone can easily insert it on their own.
After being inserted into the vagina, an artificial hymen gives the feeling of an intact vagina and contains artificial blood that oozes out during sexual intercourse. This helps in recreating the virginity experience.
A surgical procedure known as hymenoplasty is the most suitable for those allergic to any ingredients present in the artificial hymen. Hymenoplasty allows you to get a repaired hymen made out of your own tissues and has no serious complications.
