Guys Ask, Girls Tell: Periods

- We all know about Aunt Flo. You know, the Crimson Wave; Shark Week. That thing half the population gets, but remains a mystery to the rest.
I’m talking periods - that time of the month, not the punctuation.
We gave Journal men the option to submit any questions they have about menstruation. Surprisingly, despite the anonymity, there were no trolls. The questions ranged from, “Is it a consistent drip or more of an all-in-one-go situation?” to “Does your period ever make you feel empowered? Like do you start bleeding and then put on Shania Twain's hit "Man, I feel like a woman" or any other female-proud jams?”
To answer these pressing questions, we rallied together a panel of experts: uterus-havers. As you can imagine, there was a lot of hysterical laughter.

I told my guy friend that i got my period and he said "just hold it in" and was like " I FUCKING CANT"
Dogoss sg LOL
Dogoss sg They don't get that it isn't like pee haha
Dogoss sg "hold it in" hahha
XD really???!
+Dogoss sg how old was he even!? like if he was in grade 3 then i could probably understand that he would say so but if he was in like grade 5 or more then i just want to slap him in the face! XD HAHAHA

When my mom told me "congratulations" I was like "how is this a good thing, I'll have to deal with this for the rest of my life"
Not the rest of your life. Eventually you're going to go through menopause. I can't wait until that time.
Well intill minipouse
Lovely no it ends at 60 ish
replies you know what i meant
Lovely yup..
Am I the only one who hates sleeping on their period? Like sometimes my underwear doesn't keep the pad in the place because I'm a messy sleeper and it is horrible
Or like it starts leaking at one side because you didnt shift much in your sleep and the other side is fine. Guh I hated that even I wore the biggest Tampons and Pads I stained the mattress continuusly until my Mom got a cover to put on the mattress.
@@irimac1806 Yess!!! I couldn't have sleepovers on my period cause I had to be at home with my giant bed diaper -_-
I sleep on my stomach on my period
@@uhmtall3056 I wish I could do that too. Because of my cramps finding the right position is like pkaying the lottery.
Same but like I don't like sleeping any day because I have bad insomnia lol
as soon as my period come out of nowhere I find myself doing the That's So Raven stare .
Or when you feel a 'wave' of blood come out, and you can feel it leave your body and you scrunch up your face and people are like "are you okay" and I'm like "oh yeah I'm fine, just excuse me for one moment" then you grab your purse and go to the restroom
I literally laughed 😂 I can relate
😂😂
This made me laugh while my mum was sleepin haha
Omg yes
"If I could hold it in, I would hold it in forever." I'M DEAD😂😂
😂 me too
Yess me too 😂
I know that’s right lol 😂 Can we just acknowledge that one of the questions does it drip...
I felt that
Same
Sometimes I wish boys could feel this pain and stop making fun of us
Exactly
Yeah, not all the guys cuz some of them are really nice but it's very iritating when the other guys are like "So girls have periods? Haha they are stupid b**ches haha" :(
Guys who make fun of this are incel losers, who cares what they think?
Tbh I'm glad that the boys in my school are really polite, I got busted by a teacher 1-2 times that I'm on my period, and nobody said something or even cringed or something
@@dovenwings4561 wow thats really cool big respect to all of the guys
Me when i get my period: YAY IM NOT PREGNANT
still me: *the only contact with a male was a poke*
unoriginal
ew 😂
Me too:yay I m not pregnant
Also me: wait I m just 15 and I don't even have any relationship with anyone😂😂
Also me an ace lil bean just like whyyyyyyyyyyyy
Haha, I always get worried that I’m pregnant when my period comes late.
But then I realize that I don’t even remember the last time I spoke to a guy 😅😭.
I don't feel empowered at all, when I'm on. I feel dirty and disgusting and would rather sleep in bed all day, have no one touch me or come near me. Sounds bad but its the truth.
ramram lateef same
ramram lateef i get sooo angry and uncomtable.
it makes me feel so feminine and womenly
Elisa09 ' I actuallay tend to be quite nice when I'm on my period, unless I get really bad cramps, but empowerment is definitely not what I feel when I'm on, its more like insecurity, constantly checking if you haven't leaked, explaining to your male mechanics teacher why you have a stomach ache. its just a messed up life really.
Cupcake Cake yeah to a point I agree with you, I definitely do feel feminine I guess.
Sometimes I get so angry when people tell me that "being on your period" isn't a proper excuse for staying home in bed. I used to get fevers and get cramps so bad that I'd throw up. I'd lie on the floor for about 2 hours just crying because I'd become pretty much physically immobile. And then people told me "come on, doesn't this happen every month?" YES EXACTLY so leave me alone, I know how to handle it by now. Luckily I went to the doctor and got pills so my cramps are a lot more manageable, but it still pisses me off when people don't understand that I sometimes feel fatigued and just wanna sleep.
Same! I got my period today and cried for hours, fainted in the kitchen while I was alone at home and puked. This morning my brother was like "come on it's not a big deal" well he doesn't believe that anymore
+Giulia Giulietta sometimes other girls don't even understand. It's all about genetics.
+threasa arangamparambil so let me get this straight. If someone has, like, a serious disease or if they were born with a missing arm they have no right to complain about how much it bothers them? Do you think we spend all our time complaining about our periods? Do you think those two comment were us complaining about out PERIODS??? I'm 19, I've had my period since I was 12 I know how to fucking handle it by now, what I was complaining about is people like you who don't GET that even if it happens every month IT'S NOT ALWAYS EASY! It's like saying "hey, you've broken your arm before right, why are you complaining?" Maybe because it hurts. It's not like we think it'll change anything but it's nice to talk to someone who knows what it's like. I rarely ever complain about it because it won't change anything, but I will damn well complain about people who tell me it's no big deal. I'm just minding my own laying at home throwing up once a month. YOU WANNA SWITCH? No? Then SHUT UP!
+threasa arangamparambil don't tell me to power through, do you really think that that's not what I'm doing? I get a 40*C fever once a month, I throw up, I cry but I don't complain about it I just let it happen because what can I do. But when people tell me "come on, let's get a drink, it's just a period why don't you just power through?" I get fucking pissed because you don't know what it feels like. And even though you say that it's not to be taken personal it is freaking personal when you tell us to "just power through" because people like you are exactly the problem that we complain about.
Neither one of us complained about our periods, we complained about ignorant people. So please don't tell us to just power through, because that's exactly what we're doing.
I can relate. I had to stay off school once it was so bad but I got a lot of hate for doing that
It seems like everyone has such an interesting first period story but mine is literally I just looked down and went
"Well there goes my life."
😅😅😅
Sameeee omggggg
Oh my god yes. That is exactly what happened 😂
Mine was I was at home on the toilet and there was blood. I told my mum I had my period and she gave me pads......I later wrote in my diary that I had it and underneath I drew the devil
y e p
When I was younger I thought that periods lasted 2-3 years... I was wrong. Very very wrong.
Christina 21 I thought it was never gonna end. I was wrong
😂
@@bean2216 same xD
I thought it would stay forever and that was the only reason I cried. I’ve never been more glad to be wrong
Well when I was young I thought u only get ur period once and that's it.😂When I first got my period I was like ok girl survive this time and that's it. Then my mum comes and tells me honey u know u have to be dealing with this every month.🤦♀️😅I was crying from cramps and then I cried even harder after this useful information.
whenever I get on my period, I like to binge watch period videos and read the comments to see how I'm doing and how to make it better.
ARMY ❤️❤️
ARMY and same
ARMY can relate anywhere. Even on period videos 😂😂
hey ARMYs and same
I swear ARMY is flipping everywhere 😂
"I've never used a tampon, I'm scared of sticking it up there" LMAO SAME GIRL
Callie Herring I heard that using a tampon is almost equivalent to losing your virginity so yeah, no thanks I’m good.
Alycia Goode I don’t think I need to go too in depth with my comment. It kind of speaks for itself...
Alycia Goode yeah I know I’m happy with using pads anyway
@@notsuredc girls...using a tampon is not you losing your virginity. That makes no sense. Are you worried about the hymen? Its a thin bit of tissue some women have that surround the vaginal wall. It is not a coverings. Furthermore when it "tears" if it does if you have one you most likely wont even know. A gynecologist cannot even look at you and tell if you've lost your virginity. You only lose that by having a penis in your vagina. I have used all three, pads tampons and a diva cup. I dispised pads because they smell and are bulky in your underwear so people know you wear one. Tampons are completely safe unless left in your vagina for days which is why they recommend 6-8 hours because they know 12-24 hours is safe but people always push past time limits. Periods have only recently become more talked about. Tampons also do not hurt, nor do they move once inserted. It is completely fine to choose whatever works for your body, but dont be ignorant
@Audrey L what medical thing?
i got my first period in eighth grade. i was in 9th period technology and my stomach hurt really bad but i thought it was just my usual pain (i have a digestive problem). anyways, i had to pee so i went to the bathroom and sat down and as soon as i saw my underwear i screeched, periods were completely out of my mind at the time and i thought i was dying because back then my stomach issues hadn't been explained and i thought there was something horribly wrong with me. next thing i know, i'm hearing the male earth science teacher in the women's bathroom's doorway saying "is everything alright in there ?" luckily, i remembered what periods were and answered back a horrified "yeah".
so, i began to assess the situation. i was wearing a white dress and i started freaking out and just my luck, when i checked the back of it there was a line about the width of a quarter on my butt. yeah, really fun. i started freaking out, it was spring and i didn't have any other clothes at school (ex. jacket, coat) and there was no way i was gonna walk around with blood on my arse. luckily though, i think the world decided to throw me a bone, when walked out of the bathroom and i saw this guy that i didn't know _that_ well back then because he's 2 years older than me but i had a tini crush on him at the time. now, you would think that this would be a horrible situation, that i would be mortified, etc. but even though it was embarrassing af at the time, i'm glad it happened.
he kindly informed me of the mark even though i already knew and offered me one of his sweaters to wrap around my waist. he was super nice and even gave me his chocolate that apparently was in his lunch that he wanted to save for later. he helped me find his older sister and she hooked me up with some tampons so that i'd be okay. long story short, he was super kind and even walked me back to technology, telling the technology teacher that we had to help a kid who'd gotten sick in the hallway so that i wouldn't be in trouble for being so late.
i'm fairly good friends with him now but i've fallen in love with him over the years. he's kind, funny, creative, cute, and talented, i mean, what do you expect ? kinda sucks cause i don't think he'll never see me that way but atleast i got to know him. weirdly enough, i have my first period to thank for that.
so, uh, thank you womanhood...i guess
That is cute and I pray for you girl, get your MANS
awwww that's so cute
Lily Locke gurl husband him up
I hope you guys get together! He sounds absolutely perfect
I’ve never been so jealous of getting a period...
"I want to roll up, watch netflix, and not talk to anyone"
That's me EVERYDAY wether on on my period or not! Lol
Prinxiety Lover Me tooooo

Its been a year and I can confirm this is still true about me 😂
Ok so I was was scrolling through the comments and watching the video at the same time and at the exact I’m telling you exact time I’m reading yours the girl is saying exactly what you commented my mind was blown lol
@@roxyvega2719
Lol love that
Do some guys really think we can hold it in? Lmao
Its not peeing
@@danibugg951 yeah exactly haha
If u take some medicines you can
@@shumookh5641 like to not bleed? I don't think that's healthy lol, but there are some that make the period lighter and less painful
@@elbellexx that's probably not healthy either
Everybody has such crazy stories about their first period, I was just sitting at home being my young introvert self, and then I sneezed. *My life has never been the same since*
Lol R.I.P
I just had to use the toilet, looked down, and squeaked, "Hey Mom - uh, y'know that thing that happens when you're a teen?.."
This made me crease😂😂
😂😂😂
I was at my grandma's, I was really embarrassed but I told her and she kinda squealed and then told she had been waiting for her first granddaughter to start her period and showed my a stash of feminine supplies she had in her bathroom
That moment when you period ends, "IM FREEE FINALLY"
...............
Until next month😣😭
Ikr 🥲
Yeaaaaaaah🎊🎉
I just ended and I'm super happy😄

Mine is so irregular because I'm a highschool student
@@mushroomlover479 oof I'm going into high school next year. like after summer break
3:03 omg wtf 3 DAYS? HOW? I WISH
mine is like 7 days long lol it sucks
Mine ranges from three to six. :3
Omg lucky!! Mine could last from a week or a week 1/2
mine is 1 day
It’s not healthy for you if your period lasts longer that 7 days
Mine is 5 days
The worst thing is when u sneeze during ur period (edit bruhh i accidentally found my comment and realized that it blew up 2 years ago hahah thank you for the likes)
taes shiteu holy crap so true
taes shiteu ohohohoho yesyesyes

TRUEST STATEMENT!!! Also, ARMY!!!!!
Yes and when u try to hold it in makes it worse
And at my school we have to wear khakis so wish me luck
The feeling when your period is late and you're like " OMG I'M PREGNANT," even though the only contact you did with a male was a hug or a handshake...
_Mad Shipper_
You can actually get pregnant from that if the male has sperm on him.
Sperm are sneaky af ;-;
@@thatdudette5563 What? No? I don't think sperm can go through your clothing or skin and get you pregnant.
Mr. Woof yeah it can, if the dude has it on his hand and if you handshake him, there is a chance it will transport to you, and if you wash yourself down there it could possibly happen... but that’s pretty rare so don’t worry :v
I was lucky the only time it was late I wasn't really keeping attention and it was just when my mother pointed it out that I realized I was more than a week late when I'm usualy 1-3 days early
BiEntertainerTaurus
i am.. never making any physical contact with a guy again.
That moment when you change your pad
I’M FREEEEEEEEE
I think we feel more empowered when it's over
Agreed. When it's over ur like "The battle was fought well"
HAHAHA YES EXACTLY I just congratulate myself for dealing with this shit and wait for next time
When ever I'm on my period I'm like :
"YES I'M NOT PREGNANT!"
Even though, the only contact I had with a male was a handshake.
Chorty same lol 😂🤣
Chorty same
Chorty i missed mine last month because of the timing of the last one so I just had to remind myself that I haven even ever held hands, kissed, let alone made out or had sex with a guy!
This is a fact, yo.
I swear to god this is me 😂
I hate laughing really hard or sneezing while i'm on my period, it's like you just let everything go 😂
sit ups....
I had to laugh. This is so relatable. The worst is sneezing.
"Let it go, let it go, can't hold it back anymore...."
+Audrey B
ahahaha😂😂😂

As a girl, I find it pretty cool to hear other women/ girls talk about their periods. I enjoy how others relate to me and that feeling that I’m not alone 😌
Ppl should stop telling young girls who get their period that they’re “women now!!”
Bcuz this was literally the reason my friend cried when she first got it
I know right. Just because you started your period it does not mean you have the maturity or authority of a female adult. My mother was proud of me on first period and called me a women yet I am still treat like child. Lol.
exactly, I was scared of "becoming a woman" and all the blood certainly did not help. Like why would you feel happy to "become a woman" because of your period? I literally cried because I was so scared of the changes in my body
@@__Sunny___1010 i hope u r doing alright now :)
@@hopebby3750 oh yes, i got used to everything i’m ok now. Thanks
My mom said the same thing to me. Being trans, that was pretty devastating. Certainly the last thing I wanted to hear. Looking back, that probably kick-started my depression, lol
*Uh... I got my period at school... Wearing a skirt... With no pads with me. My friend gave a tampon, and I hate the idea of them 😂 so I rolled out the tampon so it was like a rectangular shape and used it as a pad* 😂😂😂 -I was so proud of myself-

Do you feel empowered as a woman when having your period?
NO, ESPECIALLY THE FIRST DAY OF MY PERIOD I FEEL LIKE CRAP AND WISH TO BE A MAN.
What a mood. I relate so bad.
Yup
iTS SO FUNNY IN MY SCHOOL BC FUN FACT IF YOU AND ANOTHER PERSON WHO CAN GET THEIR PERIOD SPEND A LOT OF TIME TGT, YOUR PERIODS LINK UP N HAPPEN AT ROUGHLY THE SAME TIME (this is why a lot of girl best friends n daughter n moms have them at the same time) AND WE GET TO SCHOOL N GO "i hate being a woman" IN THE MOST M O N O T O N E FUCK YOU FUCK OFF FUCK EVERYONE VOICE N RANT ABOUT BEING A WOMAN.

Power move!
Yass😂
wtf why didn't the boys stay in that's so weird
At my senior school they gave the girls a talk about periods in year 7. In year 10, both girls and boys got sex education, which covered 'growing up', Pregnancy, and the birth of a baby, and VD. (Sexually transmitted diseases. Some girls thought the boys shouldn't have been there when the teacher was talking about periods. I said to one of them 'What are you going to do hen you're married? Pretend you are ill every month?
@@yerma6149 exactly! It’s so stupid. That used to happen at my school too. Like this is why men don’t know shit about periods. Thus why the dude in the video asked if we can “hold it in” smh 😩
I know my period is coming if I’m being unexplainably mean to my family. I’ll get super sarcastic, moody, and snarky and then in a day or two my period will start. And then once my period is over I’ll apologize to everyone I was rude to. 😅
my first time i was on my period i fought with my sister. i was trying to explain her that i was on my period but she was like: thats not a reason to be mean!
It's so true for me too
Saaame
Have you experienced that moment when you say something and then five seconds later you realise what a bitch you were but you're still to angry and overridden by hormones to actually apologise until later.
Or even realising as you're in the middle of talking that you should probably shut up now but your mouth continues on its own agenda.
Bruh when you stand up after sitting down for a while and it’s like the Niagara Falls 😤
Georgia LaChance one morning it was so bad that even if I was wearing a pad it leak out along my leg and on the floor XD
Treka Double oh shit haha. It’s soooo bad when you’re at school and you stand up and it feels like you leaked everywhere 😂
Georgia LaChance omg that's me 😂
💀💀
actually true
My first period was when I was eleven and I was at school
I went to the bathroom and I pulled down my thights and skirt and looked down I had to bite my finger to stop me from screaming I sat in the bathroom for half an hour antil my pshee teacher (who was teaching us about periods literally the lesson before) came and shouted my name I kind of squeaked and came out and said nothing and tried to walk out she tapped my shoulder told me to wait There and went and got me a new uniform and took me to her room after I was changed and gave me a few biscuits and some popcorn put on a movie and let me rest till my mom got to the school
It was literally the best and worst day of my life 😋😋😋😋
She sounds nice
"if i could hold it in, I would hold it in forever" mood
"I've never used a tampon! I'm afraid of putting it up my-"

Oh my gosh, tampons freak me out too! I'm not alone. Never used one.
Nope, they scare me too, just ughh
I tried once and I couldn't and I haven't touched one since😂
tbh I started using them the second time I had my period. At first it was so so weird, but I could not put up with the feeling of blood leaking out of my body, so I decided to give it two more goes and I never looked back. I get it's weird, but it was less weird than that blood flow feeling and caused less paranoia to me
One up me
I used to be soooooo freaking terrified of them but know I use them all the time. I prefer them over pads.
I definitely feel like I’ve gotten lucky with my period 😄
It typically lasts 2-3 days and I’ve never gotten cramps.
The only downside is that the second day is *SUPER* heavy.
I'm 6-7 days 😥

Why would a woman ask these questions though? She's go the same hardware, she'd be very aware of the overall process I'm thinking. Or do you believe women are that different from each other in this respect?

yeah, like thats the whole point
@@yousufhasan3933 well some women go through things that others don't. or maybe to make the women more comfortable, etc.

"can you hold it?" Bish I wish.
Gray and Ethan Mendes I can actually hold mine in.. unless I sneeze or bend over
Dumbass question lol. Its not like when you have to pee and you hold it. You might be able to contract your pelvic muscles to hold the flood gates if you’re lucky but it will still trickle and drip out. Its not optional sadly lol!

The worst is when you're irregular.

Cadiz you never know when that shit its coming
My mom had to get on the Pill because she was so irregular. It helped control it better. When she went through menopause though, her cycle was out of control and she had to get a blood transfusion. It was scary!
YESS IT HITS YOU WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT. LIKE A SWIM MEET OR AN ORCHESTRA PREFORMENCE
So, with my first period...I was a freshman in high school. It was the end of the day, and I started getting some pains in my stomach and lower back. I thought it had been because I had been standing, and sitting in uncomfortable chairs. I went home, and went to the bathroom, and I saw my underwear was darker than usual (I was wearing red underwear at the time). My dad was home at the time. I walk out of the bathroom, underwear around my knees, and call out to my dad ‘Hey, dad! Is this my period?!” He walks over, looks down, and says “Mazel Tov! You’re a woman!”
Samantha Wexler i laughed at, Mazel Tov! You’re a woman!
Wait what u weren’t even wearing ur underwear and ur dad looked?? Umm- irdk what to say bout that
Blue is my aesthetic Lol I had my underwear down to my knees, and no one except him was home. I only called out to him because I had no idea what I was looking at. I normally call out to my mom or sister if something is wrong.
Blue is my aesthetic Lol he was helping her. Tbh I think it’s ok if she asked him a quick question to help her. Maybe he is her dad but at least it was someone she was related to
Lol that's different!
My mom told my dad and when he found out he just sat there looking sad and just held me for a few mins. I think it was that "my baby really isn't a baby anymore" moment.
*thoughts you have when you start your period* "I feel like crap but it's ok because I know I'm not pregnant"
“I have never used a tampon. I am terrified of sticking that up....” girl, me too
PianoDiva24 i haven't either. It hurts for me
I am not afraid to, but I have some medical condition that I don’t really know about where I could put it all the way up to my chest from down there, and I would still feel it go down every time I breathe, and even more painful trying to take it out!

I’m a guy, so maybe I’m wrong here, but I feel like saying “Congratulations, you’re a woman now!” is the weirdest possible thing you could say. It shouldn’t be treated as a right of passage, it’s just something that happens (and something particularly unpleasant, I may add).
I'm trans so I see both things, it is fucking hella weird especially if you're a guy
i hate it, feels like "congrats on starting to be in pain for every month until your like 60"
Well yes, it can depend from one to another. But it is way better to be congratulated on something than being treated impure on those days and be all secretive about it and lie to people and pretend being alright on the outside when you are literally dying inside. At least, some people acknowledge it and at the least try to understand. I am a woman myself.
If only I had those kinds of people around me who would say, even if I don't understand your pain, but I acknowledge it. You are in pain and I feel you and see you. I wish for you to recover fast and have strength to go through this.
I am not coming at you. Just giving my opinion.
I don't like how they kept switching between girls and their stories. It got confusing. Just do one at a time!
When people say "Just hold it in"
Jackeline Flores when they say That im like
Bitch if i could i would so fuck off
Jackeline Flores like honey, I would, if I could
That's like a girl saying to a guy "can't you just put your boner down"
M҉o҉i҉ I thought there was a small piece of hair on my screen
Haley Hamel SAMEE
That moment when you think that your pad leaked and you are sitting and you must to stand up because your teacher asked you!!! Then I think omgg what if my pad leaked what if I have a red dot on my jeans!! They are gona laughh!! Ughh I hate that moments...
Galaxy Unicorn ..use👏 tampons👏
OP 1000 Toxic👏shock👏syndrome👏
Arsenist that’s really really rare, and if you follow the instructions, you should be completely fine. Seriously. When I got my first period, I took a tampon and put it in there, following the directions. Never had toxic shock syndrome, and I sometimes were them to sleep, but only if I know I’ll sleep less than 8 hours.
Luna Safire But there is still a chance of it happening. And if you do get it, TSS is deadly and most-likey will lead to amputations or becoming critically ill. There are risk factors that come along with tampons and that's something that's a fact.
Arsenist.. Very, very rare. Just follow instructions. If you are really worried, just use them on the heavy flow days.
Teacher: can you wait
Me: Does it look like-
Question: "Can you feel your period coming?"
SOmeone answers: Yeah I can feel it
Me: Spits out water in surprise* WHAT?! I can't feel mine until I've already ruined my underwear! WTF!
i got my first period when only my older brother was home, and i had to ask him to run to my room to get me clean underwear, i dont think I’ve ever seen someone look as mortified as him when i asked 😂
Gryffindo Percabeth7 lol 😂
Gryffindo Percabeth7 lol awwww
That, is so incestral. My opinion shhh
@@nyattowo that is not an opinion. That's simply a false fact. But whatever
Well, its only a matter of training your brother😆 I could even get mine to buy pads for me, and I make him sympathize with my pain by asking him to do all the housework😆😆😆
Guys, it's not like peeing
If peeing is a waterfall, a period is the oncoming storm.
omg so true XD
Lyra Foxx 😂😂😂
"More like... man I feel like crap"
"Man i feel like unprepared"
Same girl 😂
Watching this while I'm on my period and be like: Same, same, same, same.

When you sneeze/cough/move slightly on your period and you feel *_THE WATERFALL_*
The first time I got my period I came running out of the bathroom crying and Yelling "MOOM!!!! IM GONNA DIEE!!"
Lama-DaLlamaqueen I was too scared to yell anything lol
Yes, every month...if I were a boy 😂😂😂
true!!
That's me rn lol
OMG came for this comment 😂😂😂
I would be happy af but I would still get kicked in the nuts 😂😂😂😂
TheBaby1933 I wanna be boy so i don't have to deal with my period
Oh my gosh when you sneeze during your period :0
The first time I got my period I sneezed and I was wearing white shorts XD I died
Audrey Adams I feel you !!! I get a lot of allergies so I tend to sneeze more than 3 times (that’s normal amount of sneezes, I’ve never sneezed just once well not that I remember) it makes me feel so uncomfortable specially when I’m sitting down at school, it’s the worst
Or when you laugh
Bless your heart
Moment of silence for sister
K-Pop Hyena when you sneeze everything goes everywhere :/
I feel like my first period story was just boring. I was on the toilet, and boom, blood. Asked my mum for a pad, and all was well.
I have mine. I'm 11. I'm watching this on my period. It suuuuucks😂
Same except in 14! I got mine when I was ten for the first time.
I'm 11 and I'm on my periods rn
First time I got my period, I knew exactly what it was and I was just like 'oh fuck fuck fuck nope this isn't happening' and just hoped that it would go away lmao
I was home alone. And when they got home, family came too. It was cinco de mayo. Not to mention that I had no idea how to use a pad...
Lucky
First time i got it i was in kfc...I knew what it was so I told my mother i was bleeding a lot, she thought i was exaggerating. i didnt have a pad or anything and she insisted on shopping at the supermarket while i was dying with cramps and bleeding through my jeans. SHE DIDNT BELIEVE I WAS BLEEDING THAT MUCH! i will never forget her face when she realised.
OMG same
MEE
I'm so glad my first period started on a weekend at home. I felt lucky af.
Same
Same
I got the day off school. I was 10 and I screamed and u cried and my mum laughed and sent me to bed with chocolate and hot water bottles and nipped out to the chemist for pads.
Same!
Oh my first was horrible I got it on a school day and I only realised I had it right when I got to the bus stop and my bus came so there was no turning back and I was in pain all day, luckily it was a Friday.
I was fortunate to get my first period over the summer of 2020, so I was at home with my mom just across the house. However, I was dismayed to learn that not everyone gets their period for 8 days. Still shocked that my friend only had it for 1 day.
That moment when you sneeze, cough, laugh, or burp on ur period..........
I GOTTA GO CHANGE MY PAD! BRB PPL
Those Two People or ya know i use tampons so i don’t feel the blood at all unless it’s leaking 😂😎
@@honeysucklesquish5036 oof. I should start using tampons. Idk why I dont lmao.
Those Two People lol u should i promise they’re great (just don’t try to insert them straight up, do it at an angle, like near the small of ur back. pull them out like this too)
@@honeysucklesquish5036 Ok! Maybe I'll try it next time I'm on my period! Thanks for the tips! :D
My first period experience was seriously me saying: “SHIT NOT NOW”..... over and over.
Breanna Basler me I got mine on Easter
Me too, I was like, let me just double check. Then I started to cry
Breanna Basler SAME!!
Same
Literally same, I got mine for the first time right before we left for a hockey game and I was pissed
In middle school, we have an Olympic size pool for gym class, and one day I got my period but the nurse is only allowed to give out pads, so I had no tampons. And my gym teacher was Mr. Becker, so I told him I couldn't swim and had a note from the nurse and he looks at me and goes "Can't you just hold your bladder until we're done?"
My middle school had 2 years of health that were required. How stupid can someone be?
oh my god what an idiot
Veronica Tribuzio guys just don't understand
Maybe he doesn't have a wife or sister and knows nothing about it x)
Rien he's married I've met his wife multiple times
that poor lady... he is an idiot.
when i first got mine i was like nine and my grandmother went "congrats you're a woman now!" kinda like one of the girls in the video and i just stood there like 😀 ma'am i am literally nine
"Can you feel it coming?" I sometimes felt lumps of blood coming out of me when having my periods...
Yep and just before that is like 30 minutes of horrible cramps. 😖😞
Lol, same. But I don't feel it when I'm about to get my period.
"I am terrified of sticking that up-" I love how it just cuts her off?? it made me snort
Does anybody else get that feeling of dread when you know you're going to get your period sometime during the week and you don't which day because it changes every time? And then you go out without using a pad or tampon cuz you're sure it's not that day and yes it is and you have to go home because you left your supplies there because you're too stupid to carry that stuff with you? Just me?
Not Clint Eastwood Same for me 😞
Not Clint Eastwood too relatable
It was so weird when I got my very first period because the night before I was literally reading about them in my science textbook
My first period story:
I was on family vacation, (it's September of my 7th grade year of school, btw) and I went into the bathroom to get dressed and there was blood in my underwear. So I changed and then went into the master bedroom where my mom was finishing getting ready (makeup and stuff like that) and I asked her "do you have a pad?" She sighed and was like "no I didn't bring any. I just finished my period. go ask your sister". I had asked my mom for a pad while my dad and siblings were out doing something because I didn't want people to know, I was kind of embarrassed, so it was just my luck that my sister had gone with my dad, so I had to wait until they all got back to ask. When I asked, my family started laughing... and then my sister said "no, I forgot them. I needed to bring them because I'm supposed to start soon, but I don't have any". That's just my luck... LUCKILY my mom had an emergency one in her purse that she had forgotten about at first but found it before we left for the day. It was too big, but it was something. So, before we went to the Grand Canyon (which again, just my luck, we're going to be walking around ALL DAY) we went to the grocery store and got some pads for both me and my sister. So yeah. That my first period story. That was quite the uncomfortable trip
That moment when you realise you have to sneeze and youre on your period....
devworlddaily coughing or laughing too
Oh god NOT NIGERIA FALLS
Lol
That happened to me today when I laughed....I just ran away from my dad to the bathroom. So UDJOSJS uncomfortable 😂😂
It's terrible I am like huh "oh no why I laughed"
Waiting for it to come is the worst. I have wasted so many pads because I'm like going out for the day and "just in case."
ME RIGHT NOW THO - better safe than sorry XD
Omg! Me too! It's so annoying
You could try using liners and bringing pads/tampons in a purse in case you need to change.
SAME
yeah totally true.
everyone: "I wish guys could feel our pain for making fun of us!"
me, a guy who just wanted to understand others: ...
We don't want you to feel the pain we want the ones that think periods are things to make fun of them or think that they're not as bad as they are for some girls.
@@manofmoths2092 exactly
Well you’re good, we mean the other ones that tell us to get over it and make fun of us for it
@@manofmoths2092 I'm sorry but who would does that? you have to have the mental capacity of a 7y old to think like that
@@swordsblack5739 wdym??? we hate people who make fun of us for normal bodily functions lmao
My favorite test of character for a guy is taking him shopping and standing around in the tampon aisle with him to see if he gets uncomfortable XD
This is fucking brilliant
Add to the test if you think they're really worth it, casually ask them to hand you a pack.
I cried bc I thought i was dying and I told my mum and she started laughing at and called my grandma and they both started laughing so I thought they didn't care I was dying and called my dad and he was like omg my baby and he literally was about to call the cops but my mum explained to us that it was normal
China Blue liar
Lanna 101 why would I lie?
China Blue idk i just wanted drama my life is boring
Lanna 101 lmao I feel you bro
OMG HAHAHAHAHAHA
I was 14 and at my dad's apartment and when I told him that I just got my period...he congratulated me. That was really awkward.
I, me and myself OMG I got mine on the 23rd December 2016 when I was 11 HAHAHA
I was 12 and I was at home and I went to the bathroom sat on the toilet and yelled “MOOOM!!” And she gave me a pad and I had a 4-H meeting that night which sucked.
Aleena Mango ME TOO WTFFFFF SAME YEAR SAME DAY SAME AGE!!!
I got mine the day before Christmas in 2009. XD
I got my in school and i get to bathroom and i was like wut this can't be happening
"Can you hold it in" *yikes school really didnt teach anybody anything*
See in the UK we learn about sex ed when we're 10 so I was prepared when it happened when I was 12, I was so embarrassed because the next day I went on a school trip to Paris for a week and I was so excited then that crushed it so much i was so upset ♡
I’ve had mine for awhile now. But my funny period story is my family was driving to my cousins house for thanksgiving and I said hey Mom do you have a tampon or pad. And my dad asks me “could you hold it till we get there or do you need to stop right now?” The car was full of me and my sisters and we were all laughing because the way my dad asked he was so timid about it and didn’t realize how it worked. Bless his heart. 😂
Brielle Miller aww i can imagine him being all confused while u guys were laughing 😂 lol sadly that is not how it works
I wish we could hold it in until it was time for it all to end. Like just squat on the toilet and let the flood Gates open.
Jacky Star that would be amazing.
"Does your period make you feel empowered?"
Not at all. I wish I was a man when my period hits hard lol.
Beatriz Sanguino Fernandez IKR!!!
Beatriz Sanguino Fernandez kind of cause like you're like "hey, I can make children"
Beatriz Sanguino Fernandez I'll just start crying about literally nothing like just start crying in the middle of nowhere
eat comfort food, it might help. water, comedy shows, and hug a plush animal if you have any. makes it better for me
Lol I have said that I've wanted to be a man so many times now I forgot! Lol!
My mom never had the period talk with me. I was 9 years old and on a hunting trip with my Dad. God bless that patient man, he gave me the top off of his spare socks, we left early, he bought me pads and snacks and he had a long discussion with my darling mother when we got back home.
Oof my period story isn't completely insane like others, but it was bad.
It was 3 a.m. and I woke up, thinking I just peed my pants. I was so tired that after I used the bathroom, I didn't even notice the blood in my underwear.
*I went back to bed and woke up five minutes later practically whisper screaming.*
Cilla Bean lol ... i had almost the same experience...but with a twist ahead...
@@drishtishah5809 TELL ME MORE. YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME AT THAT!
@@drishtishah5809 bestie, care to tell us more?
@@neharehman3374 oh..okay if u guys want..
So basically what happened to Cilla bean is same what happened to me but during that time my mom was not there at my house she was out..it was only my dad and my brother..I didn't want to wake up my mom at 4 by calling her so I waited till 6am, it was a weird feeling..2hours seemed like 20 hours ..at 6 I told my mom kinda panicked but my dad bought sanitary pad ..finally we decided to go to my aunts house with my brother and on just that day..there was a strike..literally no public transport apart from metro was working, sat on the metro had to get down mid way and from there walked..
Ik its very long story..that's why I didn't share it before😅
@@drishtishah5809 oh okay, I feel you, the wait must've been intense
My first thought every time I get my period is “yes! I’m no pregnant” even though I haven’t slept with anyone in months. My second is always “Jesus Christ, I hate being a girl.”
My first period I was 12 & at my male cousin’s house & I freaked out when I saw the blood. I had a mild panic attack in his bathroom & finally had to walk out into the loungeroom & told him I was bleeding. He freaked because he thought my mom would kill him if I got hurt while I was with him. I’m like, “no, I have my period.” He kinda just stares at me and demands “why would you tell me that?!” Thank God his roommates girlfriend was there, & went out for pads, because God my cousin is an idiot & his roommate hid in his bedroom like periods were contagious.
Octavia Blackthorn 😂👏
"why would you tell me that" thats just stupid..
If periods were actually contagious then I’d literally never leave my room
Lol
I’ve never had sex and I’m still like “yay I’m not pregnant” lol
"I'm terrified of sticking that up m-"
Producer: OK CUT! STOP RIGHT THERE
I was 11 years old. My mom was in France with my dad, and my sister was at work. I came home from school and felt weird (damn cramps) so I hung out in a pile of blankets by myself. Later, my brother takes me to swim practice (I was on a swim team). I’m early cause I thought dry lands was that night but it wasn’t. Like 15 min before practice starts, I go to the bathroom. I wipe and realize, oh shoot that’s blood. I spend the next few minutes in a panic, then put on my warm stuff to call me sister outside (I don’t have service inside the building). My sister doesn’t pick up, at first, she’s at work. So I call my mom. It’s like 3 am in France, and she still managed to pick up. Then I got called back by my sister, who ended up telling me to call my brother to pick me up, cause she won’t be home for another half hour. My brother picks me up, far earlier than expected and seems confused. I hadn’t told him why to pick me up, and neither did my sister, so I had to explain to my brother that I had gotten my first period and needed to get home. I had no supplies either, cause two months prior the doctor told me I probably won’t get my period for a while longer. It was one hell of a Friday night.
