An artificial hymen is a type of prosthetic created for the purpose of simulating an intact human hymen, usually to fake virginity.

Use
Artificial hymens are made of a material which, when properly inserted, adhere to the inside of the vagina, temporarily giving the appearance of an intact hymen and releasing a red liquid that looks like blood when subjected to pressure.

Controversy
Artificial hymens ordered over the internet from retailers based in China by consumers in Egypt have outraged conservative politicians in the latter country, who have demanded that the product be banned.
Further controversy stems from the product's adherence to centuries-old misunderstandings of virginity. The medical community has established that not all women are born with a hymen, and those who are, do not necessarily bleed from intercourse.
