That would realistically last for like three minutes for most people 😂
Not exactly, I mean true but I know some people who have shittily light periods and the fitter you are the lighter and easier your periods tend to be
@@miriga3927 I doubt it has anything to do with fitness. Yes, you can lessen the pain by what you eat, but you can’t control the flow (atleast not without medication). Light periods are rare, I would say. Atleast, I don’t know any woman who has light periods. (all fit)
@@moreamour2869 fr!!!! Im a runner and I have really heavy periods
@@miriga3927 if you start to lose your period after exercising it means you're not healthy and your body is unable to sustain itself tearing apart and rebuilding.
I depends if you normal have heavy flows or a light one, my first and last days seem to be lighter and the middle is more heavy for me.
well finally someone talking about
periods without any shame. Yes i have used toilet paper as well, but sometimes i left more elongated version of it rather than folding it completely. Sometimes wrapping around the panties helped a lot. But u gotta have that stretchy underwear to pull it up so everything holds in place 😂
Exactly. People act like it's the most disgusting thing that shouldn't be talked about. We need to normalize it.
@@sunnybunny9003 frrr
I hated pads for the longest time, they made me feel disgusted with myself for some reason. In my home growing up we didn’t really talk about periods, it wasn’t normalized in our home, moving in with my best friend her and her whole family they talked about periods with no shame, like it’s a normal subject, as it should be, this made me more comfortable talking about it. As I get older pads are just a more realistic option for me personally especially constantly being on the go with my twins. There is also less chance of toxic shock syndrome, which should be talked about more in school to teach younger women that it is serious and can happen. Pads should be normalized and there should be more commercials about pads rather than mostly commercializing tampons.
i ALWAYS bring period products with me. wherever i go. especially on long trips or places where i might not be able to buy any products. even if i'm not even close to starting my period. it's always good to have them for situations like these.
Same, Idc if I’m no where near my period I’ll always bring a spare with me. You never know when it’ll come in handy and it might come unexpectedly, also if my friend is on her period and doesn’t have a pad/tampon I’ll always have one with me so I could give one to her.
i usually keep a box of the tampons with out an applicator in my car so if there is every an emergency i have them
Same
@@_squarecube you can use a pad are panty shield
I don't have my. Yet but I do discharge sometimes
good lord-you must have one of those light faint periods. That amount of TP wouldn’t have gotten me thru 15 minutes. I’d take the paper towel, cut up a plastic trash bag for a liquid barrier stopper and cut up some dish towels yo put between the paper towel and plastic and If I was hiking-take 5 extra paper towels with me. However if I had been your age- I simply would have laid on the couch crying at home with a heating pad, mega doses of ibuprofen, an icepack for my migraine, pepto for the nausea, and an anti-diarrheal for the inevitable…and sipped hot tea periodically thru my tears. Because exercising during my period only made the pains worse. I am so glad for you and all the others who never had to experience what some of us did monthly-I wouldn’t wish it on my enemy. Have a good hike. I LOVE to Hike.
In another video she stated day 3 of her period is extremely heavy. This is probably towards the end for her where it’s a bit lighter.
@@jennaswanson34 literallllyyyy
Have you gotten assessed for PCOS or endometriosis? Heavy blood flow and menstrual pain like you described is indicative of uterine complications that can be managed with professional care.
@@greaterthanme876 Wait, is that not normal??
@@spraycandy01 menstrual discomfort is normal, but debilitating pain, nausea and heavy bleeding as she described can be caused by other conditions. I would have some months where I would be crawling on the floor in tears thinking it was normal, but it turned out I have endometriosis. It's worth checking in with your gynecologist.
here ppl are talking about how they're embarrassed to ask their mother for pads and my mom literally taught me how to stick pads, even did it on few times wen i couldn't do it properly and it ended up leaking....she has actually washed my period panties....
god! i should be more grateful to her...she's a fucking great mother 😩
Lowkey didn't expect her to just drop her pants like that
I was a little 😳 when she just put the toilet paper in her underwear like that. And then she uploaded this…Cringe
People are too comfortable now a days like she the only one that used tolite paper before come on
Why is it cringe and uncomfortable? I really don’t get it.
@@peload6035she didn't need to take off her pants and shit, no one wants to see that
Same
nobody’s gonna mention her hiking on the first day of her period?? i would need a nap after folding the toilet paper💀💀
Tell me why I literally cackled so loud at this!!! 🤣😂 ..because same! Hahahaha
Should have seen me I just ran a 3.2k race the other day 😭
In the summer I had too.
I got my period that night and my best friend was over and we were gonna go hiking. My mom doesn’t know I started cause I literally just don’t wanna tell her. So this hike was 4 hours and it was in the backcountry, literally a mountain in the middle of nowhere in Montana.
Worst hike of my life. If I stopped walking, I could feel the excruciating pain of the cramps. When I did stop, the blood would flow even more,
Same 😂
I'm fat af and my thighs hold makeshift sanitary products without trying and I'm eternally blessed lol
That’s not a good thing
@@urmumstoes309 I'm aware of the risks, it's just a fact :)
They do say "Thicc Thighs Save Lives"

@@nugget7963 LMAO 💀💀
Kitchen paper towels, like bounty is actually more absorbent than toilet paper. Is a better choice if you're scared of leaking. Im someone with heavy flow. I'd probably layer toilet paper and kitchen paper towel cause I'm paranoid like that 😅
Ladies!! Don’t use paper towels! Their way to scratchy and will scratch your legs and VG! Or get toilet paper and wrap the paper towel in the toilet paper so it doesn’t scratch
I have put paper towels in the center of the folded folded over toilet tissue. That gives it an inner layer that's more absorbent without the rough paper towel touching your skin.
Wrap the absorbent paper towel in TP so it lasts! I bleed like crazy and sweat a lot so it would need to be heavy duty for mee
If you wrap a paper towel around toilet paper, it protects better. Also for anyone who doesn't know crumbling up hard paper makes it softer. Not soft enough but still better than nothing
Boxer shorts. Keep everything in place 💪
Pads don’t even stick in those tho😭
As a heavy flow person. I would be not going on a hike even with products. 🤣
When I was in highschool, one of my friends asked if I had a pad with me. I said no, and I could see how her expression changed from hopeful to hopeless. I felt so bad. I always have a pad with me ever since.
However, when I’m staying at my mum’s place, I tend to forget about any menstrual products because in my head I’m like “she’s the only women there, she must’ve never run out of products right” well wrong, cuz she’s older now and she doesn’t really get her period anymore which means, she just doesn’t stock up on it. So i did the toilet paper method, I stayed in bed and it- let just say it was basically not there anymore.
I can't imagine not bringing period products with me. I literally bring mine all the time even if I don't have s period or I just recently finished mine or I am in the middle of not being in one because you never know when it would visit you. I don't care if I forget my phone but I ain't forgetting pads and money with me
its dumb but im super depressed lately but the way you clarified ‘non-menstrual’ abt your boyfriend made me smile as a trans man
Same here
I have done that in school before when I didn’t have a pad on me. It works for about 2 hours then you have to change it.
For chafing, baby powder down the side of your thighs helps
The fact the the MAN in the back said to use kitchen towels is just
I've used paper towels before and it worked better than that little bit of toilet paper she used.
@@sophiabrown583 I mean it was probably just a suggestion if she wanted to use those instead. Probably just trying to be helpful, don't overthink it.
He didn’t know any better and was trying to help at least he didn’t say something like
“That’s disgusting just stay home”
Or some shit
@@heidiiiiiiii that toilet paper was layered and probably as absorbent as a few paper towels.
I did this one time when we were on a trip and suddenly got my period (It was supposed to come 2 weeks after so I didn't have pads). It only lasted 10min before I had to change the tissue cause it was leaking 🫠🙃 Always bring pads/period products with you
People are just way too comfy posting stuff.
Grow up, it’s just a period… normal
@@sunnii1603 man 🤣. I just mean like did she have to put it on, on camera. That’s like someone whipped out a pad, took off their pants and put it on. Just thought that part was weird.
@@joslynrose7135 she put on a pad… it’s nothing like what?? It’s like putting on a t shirt or jeans while in ya undies. It’s fine! Grow uppp
@@sunnii1603 okay dude cool🥱
Half the worlds population get them. Chill
That's so realistic lmaoo
Woman, you are saving ladies who don't know this!
Girl, this is exactly what I would do in highschool!! I didn't feel comfortable asking my family for pads or talking to people about my period, so I would do this every month
I’m pretty sure that’s unhealthy 💓
Wow so she actually went ahead and showed us exactly how to do it. I bet there is still that one person who is not going to get it.
Every girl in middle school has done this. There's no period products in the bathroom, and even if you have them in your bag you can't go back in the classroom and leave again without the whole class noticing. Being a young woman is often humiliating.. It shouldn't be like that.
19:19 little fact this isn’t necessarily a seat warmer but it could be, but if it was cold they would put hot coals/debris that was still smoldering from a fire into this little cast iron pan thing with a lid that flipped open and it had a handle to hold, they’d slip it underneath covers at the very bottom of a bed and it would warm the bed and you underneath the blankets. So Nick had the right idea.
Very educational for the younger girls who have no clue what to do in time like this. Thank you for normalizing period ❤
My august stuff is coming this Thursday I can’t wait!
"i don't have period products"
you're whole channel is about periods you didn't bring ONE single pad?
Maybe try a diva cup?
She really getting comfy with us
I keep coming across urs vids but their always amazing! ❤ anyways if I don’t have products I use a old sock and put some toilet paper in and I always wear leggings and I just pray no one sees me walking around with a sock in my pants 😭 or just tie a jacket around ur waist I find that helps! ❤
Litterly ur my teacher in periode stuff ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ THANK YOU
That's MY makeshift pad situation LMAO
That thing will overflow in just 5 minutes of hiking girl
I’ve done this several times 😂
YOU SAVEDME GAL
Everybody is hating on her taking of her pants, but all I see is a confident ✨QUEEN✨ that has provided us with the best pads, tamps and most importantly pregnancy test
This girl is WAY to comfortable with the internet
I mean it's all normal and almost every single female has used toilet paper as a makeshift pad
Wait.. is that how much blood there’s supposed to be when you change it??? When I change mine it’s soaked all the way through. In like 5 hours btw. I have a pretty heavy flow but no cramps so I’m not complaining
Ive always used this for when I’m even at work or anywhere else. Much easier
what i recommend is that you wear double or triple underwear to hold paper in place or just to stop any leakage that might come through
My heavy flow could never
Dude, i literally stack pads on top of each other and she out here using a toilet paper square 💀
I would have done layers of paper towels with soft toilet paper on top of it. That’s how are used to do it in school if I forgot my pads. Ideally, you would wrap the first pile of paper towels and another paper towel that would go all the way around the underwear and then put more on top of that. It’ll keep it in place a little bit better.
I’ve had to do this but it lasts literally a few mins😂😂😂 unless it’s at the end of my period… day 2 could never 😂
I often gets very light days, so I do the same thing. Toilet paper folded into 4 layers is more comfortable than a proper pad, or a tampon when it will be still dry when you have to remove it
This is the holy grail in my household whenever this occurred! THANKS SIS FOR PUTTING PPL ON DECK. This little secret has saved me the embarrassment. Gracias, mi familia ❤
Kitchen paper towels are not rough! They're also much better at holding the blood in than toilet paper.
I do that all the time if I'm gone somewhere and my pad gets full. And yes I usally forget to bring a pad bc I'm very forgetful👍
People get too comfortable on internet nowadays
what the heck do you mean she’s talking about periods it’s normal
@ᵻʂɕβɛɭɭɕ of course its normal isabella and im a woman as well, i acknowledge that talking about periods is natural and important.
However, she literally recorded herself shoving a tissue on her vagina, inside of her panties. Its just strange how people get so comfortable showing this shit to a bunch of strangers on the internet, ESPECIALLY creepy males. Thats all, dont be quick to judge
My girl always on her period
You remembered to bring TP but not the other stuff :) :)
It be like that 😂
We are really getting to friendly on this app!!!
I used paper towels growing up you can really create a thick pad
When I don't have a pad and use toilet paper, I always wrap toilet paper around the outside of my underwear going left to right. (I think horizontally I always get horizontally and vertically mixed up... Ever since I was in preschool....) But it adds extra protection. At the end of it I just tuck the end inside and it doesn't move!
Had to so this when my first period came 😂
Poor me was getting my hair done when it happened- but little me handled it like a champ.
That's actually me every time I wake up to find out I'm having my period and I ran out of pads I use toilet paper kitchen paper any paper and run to the closest pharmacy to buy some
I want to see who were the people wanted this tutorial!
Her confidence tho 👏🙂
My period would be way too heavy to do that lol
Your boyfriend just being there while you make this video 😂😂😂
So I kinda agree with ur boyfriend (not trying to be rude just giving tips). You should get a paper towel and fold it and then get toilet paper and wrap it around. This way it won’t chafe but yet it will absorb more.
We’ve Gotta do what we’ve Gotta do
When I’m somewhere and I don’t have anything I use this 💀
I appreciate her ❣️
I do this too if I have to also if it has to stay in place for a long time then I wrap more toilet paper around the makeshift pad and underwear and it will stay better
I did that in school when I didn’t have any pads 😂
Im only 12 and that won't even last 5 minutes cuz im a heavy bleeder
Bro that would be soaking in a minute if I did that
Yes now that I started puberty and k have an upcoming trip to delegate to see my friends (my dads friend has kids around my age, one older one younger) I bring my lil bag with 2 pads and a bunch of liners
okay Mike work for you skinny women with a tiny whoha but us woman who rage from size 9-15 that tiny amount going to slide trough the middle so we gonna need more then 3 squares lol
Thanks for sharing 👍 😊
You can still use paper towels… make it comfy by wrapping a couple layers of toilet paper..
My bestie tried that once and it got stuck in her hair down there-
You could use paper towels since they are thicker but, put toilet paper at the top so it’s not rough.
she must have a light period. That would not last more then 30 minutes for me on a light day lol. I’ve only ever done this when I was in a pinch and accidentally forgot to bring a pad or tampon with me to wherever I was or if the bathrooms didn’t have those dispensers where u can take one for 25 cents or something
I do this all the time if i don’t have any products on me, i would usually make the tissue a bit longer tho so if it dose move a bit it wont rlly matter
They literally sell period underwear. Never go anywhere without packing period products
I remember doing this in school when I didn't have any pads on me and it would always move out of place 😮💨 plus I had really heavy flow so it would just leak in two minutes
you also could have wrapped the kitchen towels in toilet paper-
that tecnique saves me so many times :v
Honestly i think we've all been here before
first of all : don't show the process on camera
second of all : all girls know that and do that duh
What's the problem lmfao? It's not like she showed her boobs or cooter...
I did that trick multiple times when I get period but I am out situation.. Just instead of three loops I use 5 just to be secure and since my 1st day period is just warning period I can wear it for like 4-5 hours till I somehow get pads
Maybe if you wrapped the kitchen towel in toilet paper so it's still soft but more absorbent??? That toilet paper situation would last less than a minute for me lol I would not be going anywhere but the bathroom if I forgot to bring pads
What about a menstrual cup?
bruh that would only last 5 minutes for me
I like to use folded paper towel for extra absorbency then wrap it in toilet paper for comfort.
when I did that, I used a 1 piece of toilet paper and folded it💀😂
I did this for a couple of months cause i was too embarrassed to tell my mom. When I'm out of pads I make sure to text her in town so I don't have to tell her face to face😬
laughs in heavy period
I wrap toilet paper first then I fold up a little layer of paper towels underneath to act as a second barrier then I just lay it directly across the middle of my underwear like you would a pad with the toilet paper facing you because it's a bit softer
Try to find a old t-shirt or a rag before you go hiking.
I use tp and then use a pad so the pad don't always get mess up and the tp is easy to change ..
I’ve had to do this before but I used paper towels and wrapped toilet paper around them
Is that enough for you? Seriously. Since toilet paper has small holes in them the liquid will absorb faster due to capillary action, making the paper wet quickly. So you sure it's okay?
Yeah maybe she has a super light flo and she said she did it before
So it should be fine but it def won’t last as long as a pad
I tried this once and it absolutely doesn't work cause my period is to strong
Honestly I wish this could work for me lmao
