She can easily touch it when she wipes, whereas, the toilet paper shouldn't be able to get at the end of the vagina unless she's REALLY digging.
I admit I'm a little confused as well. The hymen is located directly at the entrance to the vagina, not inside (the page you linked describes it as "covering" the vagina); just as the perineum is not located "on the vulva" but below the vulvo-vaginal area. The hymen and its remnants (which can hang on for years -- I still have a few bits) can certainly easily be contacted with toilet paper during wiping.
