Tampons aren't meant for Indian girls

I have never seen any Indian shop that openly sells tampons. A study has shown that a tampon is more hygienic than sanitary pads yet Indians prefer not to use it. The logic that people give for this is that most of the Indian girls are virgins and using tampons can break their hymens. (What could be more senseless!) Our Indian values apparently still dictates that a girl should be a virgin before her marriage hence, no tampons.
