Hi Aunt Vadge,
Okay, so my boyfriend fingered me using two fingers for the first time yesterday. But today I feel that the opening of my vagina has become bigger. I am a virgin.
- Will it get back to normal?
- Will the size of the opening be as it was?
- Is there a difference between a vagina that hasn’t been touched before and mine?
Yours,

Dear Changed,
Most likely, before you were fingered your hymen was intact, and now it’s been stretched a little, giving your vaginal opening the appearance and feel of being bigger. That’s the only reason it would seem different, and all that’s changed is a bit of hymenal tissue. Your actual vagina is exactly the same as it was yesterday.
Have a read of our article about the hymen and see if that fits. It’s also worth reading about vaginal tightness and looseness to understand how your vagina actually works. The short version: your vagina stays the same size, and there is zero chance of it becoming permanently bigger from fingering.
If it was your hymen, that stretch is the only difference between a vagina that hasn’t been touched before and yours.
Welcome to the new version of your vagina!
Warmest regards,
Aunt Vadge
