    Great great great video!! I was so scared of tampons before I watched this video. I’m not on my period right now but, when I do, i kinda want to try a tampon. But I don’t know. We will see. But yeah great video. I had no clue how to put a tampon in so great know I know. And after like a day watching your videos I put pads everywhere! In my two purses, I have a whole bag of them in my backpack. But anyhow, great video, great advice. Thank you so much for making these videos! I hope you make more of these! ❤❤

    Sorry it’s a bit late, but have you ever thought about adding a menstrual cup or disc to August? I love August so much, but after I started using a cup I really dislike using single use products. I would totally buy if you made one. Just a suggestion. Also have you ever used one?

I totally understand focusing on the thing that most people use, and sell the most, but lots of people trust you, so to discuss menstrual cups would make so many people be more comfortable with them and not think they are gross. I totally respect not wanting to add them to your line if that's what you decide, but I highly recommend discussing it on your platforms to NORMALIZE menstrual cups. thanks again!!

      Idk if this will help but I have some things to say!
      1. Don’t be scared! I got mine and it’s not as scary as you think
      2. Maybe start with using pads, they’re pretty comfortable
      3. If you get it at school you could ask anyone for a pad or tampon, or just call to go home
      4. If your close to your mom you can always ask her for help!
