I love how u teach kids abt period products
Lemme help you while you fixing that
Yesssss more girls need this
I love how kid friendly this teaching is
what the fuck did you want her to say? it’s a tampon dude. do you also think sex ed shouldn’t be taught because it’s too inappropriate?
I thought my 10 yrs old friend about a period so she wouldn’t have to be confused when her teacher was explaining it
dude that’s so good!
I feel like you should’ve let the parents explain that to her.
@@fleurfairee some parents never teach their daughters about menstruation.
@@hellokaylee2977 That is very true but they might’ve been planning on teaching her themselves, and I feel that if you were to do that you should’ve checked with the parents first.
@1_am_Yes truee
Bro i'm 16 and was never taught how to use one thank you!
This is a perfect example of an amazing parent, she's teaching them about periods young, she teaches them clearly and in a fun and cute way, we need more parents like this. ❤❤
She isn’t their mother tho.
@@unicornsare2kool then who is she to them?
@@RobotModelNBEEPBOPBOOP idk some little girls, maybe her friends kid or something.
I'm so glad you taught them early. I didn't learn till a few months after mine started becoming regular
Yass I was taught everything when I was 7 I'm soooo grateful because when I started a few months ago I was not scared at all my mom had bought me some pads and had me put them in my bottom drawer when I was 9 so I simply went to her asked which one I should use she came into the bathroom showed me and asked if I have any questions then after left ♡ best mom everr
this is very important to teach younge children about this
This is how everyone should teach
I'm scared to use a tampon
Me too! And Im leaving for a trip tomorrow! 😩
@@charcharli3I recommend getting period swimwear if you go swimming, they work really well
@@itsxdney8182 Tysm! I’ll buy some rn!
i was scared too ngl lol
If your young please don't use a pad
Knowing some girls don’t have access to this type of education when it is so important for girls and boys, seeing more people teach about periods and how to properly use feminine products makes me so happy
Queen, you need to teach more little girls, more boys about periods. I havent got mine yet but I LOVEEE your videos❤
This is amazing! I started my period when I was 11-12 and I was in Mexico visiting family. Nobody had ever gave me the period talk so I was petrified when it came. I didn’t tell anyone because I was afraid that I hurt myself while wiping or that something was wrong with me. I his it for a whole week by stuffing my underwear with toilet paper, did it stop the blood from leaking? Nope. All of my underwear were stained and crusty with blood. When we came back home my grandma seen my underwear in my laundry and asked me if I got my period and I told her I didn’t know what happened. And they just laughed and made fun of me. There are so many people who do not teach their children these things and everyone should be educated on their bodies! Thank you so much for educating young girls on their bodies!
I did not know how to use a tampon when I did for the first time and my mother shamed me a lot about my period. I just wanted someone supportive like you in my life!
It’s great you’re teaching your kids about periods and period products
It's so good that you teaching them
This is what society needs
so cute, and good they learn early
This should be what schools teach little girls. Instead of teaching us to be ashamed of our bodies and periods
your school taught you to be ashamed of that ???
@@bald_reindeerzz they acted like it was some secret disgusting thing
My school teaches abt periods and purpedy and i am happy abt it we even have separet times thar boys go first and they get thought abt boys purpety and than girls and than girls get to know abt girls purpedy :D
Tbh, I think its actually really good that you teach your kids about this, cause you never know when their period is gonna happen!!
I am so glad that you made this video and teaching girls like me and them about periods
I love hows shes teaching kids at a young age about period and period products and what the products do . And i also love the fact shes uses proper anatomy likd " vagina " it makes me happy she didnt say anything like hoo ha or private.
I love love love this 👏
Yes! I will show this to my daughters.
I love how this was explained besides the comparison to candy and a popsicle lol
I love the way she teaches young girl how to use those ❤
Thank you for teaching younger kids about periods as it is never too early to learn about them 🫶🫶
Yes it’s good to teach them while there still at the age where they don’t have to worry about it yet because I didn’t know what to do when I had my first period but my mom help me all the way through and I’m so grateful for her and now I’m helping my little sister
Thank so much for giving girls this knowledge
Bro me if I ever kids 😭🥹 I was never taught this stuff and had to figure it out and on my own and a little bit of friend help. Growing up without a mother figure is tough.
Thanks for helping my daghter
Thats your daughter?
@@Zpider_kittyI think she means that maybe her daughter (who is not the kid in video) was uncomfortable and she didn’t have a good way to explain it’s so this vid I helped her child
Not me learning all of this when I got my period 😭
Ich wünschte mir es währe in der SCHEIDE DAS IST LIMLICH EIN GUTES GEFUÜL 🎉🎉❤❤
I'm 15 and I dunno how to use one 💀 but I don't really want to, so it's alright
i’m almost 20, same here. tried them twice, hated them twice, there’s no shame in sticking with pads (no pun intended)
Im 15 as well and im too scared to. Idk why but the thought of something go up inside of me, including for long periods of time, just scares me. Plus i didnt know how to use one until today, and inly recently learned that we have 3 holes not 2 😭😭
I’ve only used a tampon once in my life at my friends house because we were going to go swimming. She didn’t really tell me how to use it so I just put the whole thing in there plastic and all. No wonder it was so uncomfortable! 😅Nowadays I might try it again and do it right.
I never had got told about periods I had to learn myself at 8 😢
Yass love this I was taught everything when I was 7 I'm soooo grateful because when I started a few months ago I was not scared at all my mom had bought me some pads and had me put them in my bottom drawer when I was 9 so I simply went to her asked which one I should use she came into the bathroom showed me and asked if I have any questions then after left ♡ best mom ever
Yessss we need to stop treating periods like a hush hush topic ❤❤
Maybe start with pads then tampons I wouldn't want them experimenting by themself
oh HELL yeah. i love to see this
Im 14 and still dont have my period and i was scared cause i didn't know how to use them but thanks to you i now know. Just one question, does it hurt when you insert it of if you run with it in?
You may feel it moving a bit if you are active but overall you can't feel it and it doesn't hurt if inserted correctly
Ok we need this to happen more
I wish my mom would have teached me abt periods like this 😭👍
Also, I hate that parents and teachers save some stuff like this for when they are older because it can get awkward as they are older
Today i was having terrible cramps and it souldnt stop i was crying 😢
What if it gets stuck
They make smaller ones
It has a string you can pull
When u have kids your going to be a great mum
I showed my best friend how to use a tampon on a bus when we were in 4th grade. We were on our way to a museum and she had just started her first period. I had had my period for about 6 months at the time and I didn’t have any pads with me. All of the girls formed a circle around her so I could help her put a tampon in on the bus. We have been best friends for 15 years now.
(NOT MY STORY) just thought it should be shared 😊
Love this❤️ so cute and sweet and now they don’t have to be all confused when it happens for them
Never to young to learn
What kind of pads do I need to get what do they feel like do they move around please help
All my mother did was slap on a pad on my undie when i first told her i got my period (after month 2 cause i was terrified of telling her cause that's how shitty our trust is). That's about all the work she ever did, since then I've learned everything on my own from trial and error 💀 I'm 20 now and she has still never told me any advice on menstrual stuff. Only that tampons = promiscuous. Which is so fucking erroneous but now i use cups anyways, she'd probably go crazy of she knew this
They will thank you so much when they are older
Vampire tea lol but also I wish my mom did this!!
I think they need a cup with a smaller openinng to make it more realistic
It's more easier to teach and visual with a water bottle . (Just trying to help)
How do you use a tampon without applicator
Use your fingers find the hole make sure it’s string side down put it in the hole push up so the tampon is fully in and your hole closes around it (like half an inch higher than the opening) then take ur finger out and wash ur hand really well
Are the applicators plastic?
They can be plastic or cardboard and u can even get ones with no applicator and u use your fingers or a reusable applicator
yes they are smooth so they dont hurt!
I remember 5th grade they took all us girls for a "period period" & they showed us stuff like this. Then they handed out pads & let us pull them apart to see what was inside
Please come to South Africa in Gauteng Johannesburg
How do you Know when it's done???
Well the box it comes in should say how long it absorbs for.
Actually theres 5 sizes
1. Light
2. Regular
3. Super
4. Super +
5. Ultra.
shes talking about her brand
❤️❤️
I ❤ normalizing periods and it's great for younger children who will get there periods at some points to prepare them 🫶🏼
Is it safe to use tampons
Yes
Just make sure to change them regularly
Of course just make sure to change them every 3-4 hours.
The people in the comments need realize that tampons are not sexual. Anyone even boys can be taught and educated about them . Normalize education
Wait next time i hang out with my bestie we will show her little brother how pads work
My mom never took me about. She just bought me pads and said one day you could period for a week and a month you will get it and you will start bleeding out your vagina.
I’m terrified of tampons
I don't like talking about mine, because my family make comment....
I wish nadya was my mom
Where the Instagram comments at
Ummmm there like 7 or 8 you don’t even need to tell them to use a tampon
their period can start whenever i have a friend whose period started at 5 also you *look* like you’re seven or eight
Bro there’s no age on teaching girls to use tampons there’s no age limit💀💀💀
Can you legally adopt me
Me tooo🙏🏽
I was taught this when I was younger so I wouldn't be so scared do you use tampons now
i love you are telling them how to use it but my mom say only married people can use it im18 lol
That’s so sad that your mom tells you that
that is cool teaching kids how to use tampons and pads but a tampon at there age is not good for them but ur so inspiring
kinderen hebben maandverband nodig niet tampons gebruiken
No they can use whatever feels more comfortable more kids just like pads
You should visit schools to educate some more students
Can you do a girl talk??
Don't use tampons anymore how about we save the environment and use cups and period pants
Boys watching this be like🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤢🤮🤮🤢🤢🤮🤮🤢🤮🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
No one cares about 10 year old boys comments
I used pad not tampons cause it will hurt for me so i used tampons
american tampons are so elaborate.
So um… have you come out with a silent wrapper for us in the public bathrooms and at school
❌❌❌❌ as a Muslim woman I am against this. I am completely supportive of teaching kids about the menstrual cycle, my mom taught me when I was 8 so I was prepared, but why not teach them bout pads, they are WAY to young for tampons. And also tampons can cause a lot of harm, my mother almost died from using them. PADS ALL THE WAY
Cool but I don't get why your religion has to be relevant in what you're saying?
Because some people prefer tampons. Besides, pads are so incredibly simple that she probably taught them about pads off camera. I'm sorry about what happened to your mother but that doesn't mean that others cannot use/learn about tampons. Would you rather them try using them with no education on them and almost kill themselves?
There’s no age of learning to use tampons yeah you do have a point 7 or 8 years old is to young for tampons maybe like 12 and older but still you still wanna teach you daughters how to use them just incase something happens💀💀💀
But they should do pads ! For periods !!!
No they can use whatever feels more comfortable more kids just like pads
And how old are they again..?
Old enough to get their first period so they should know!!
@@ph0b0sx girl their like 5 or 6..
its not important how old they are
@Claire-pq3wkso…
Ummmm...... What made you tell them how to use a TPL like ayo😅
Because one day they will need to know.
Her version:“You put your third finger there”
My version: “You put your third finger there and you YEET it up your backside
❤
Too young.🙄🤦🏼♀️
the age periods start drops basically every year, do your research before saying bullshit like this
why are you teaching what looked like to be a 7 year old about using tampons? the other girl looks to young for it too. they aren’t going to remember this and they probably don’t understand it
They will understand, it’s good to teach them young so that when it actually happens they won’t be scared or undereducated on what to do. Like math
This isn’t something sexual and there’s something wrong with you if you this it is.
Bro all she’s doing is teaching them how to use tampons it’s not that serious get over it
I think! He age should be 10
Huh
Girls can get their period at any age?
Why is she teaching 6 about a period they have a long time till then
They need to learn now so that they won’t be scared
Long time? I had my first period when I was 8 years old and I panicked a lot cause no one teached me about it. This experience happens to millions of girls cause no one educates them. It’s a good thing they teach these kids at a young age.
Does it matter?
Long time? It’s different for everybody I know people who got it at 8 years old
I love how their like 7😅
i would never trust myself with a tampon
If my mum ever taught me to do that, I will tell her ummm Mum are you okay? Do I need to call Dad ? Because you’re acting a little bit strange.
That’s honestly really sad
aren't you suppose to teach them that when there a bit more older
I mean they could get they’re period earlier
Why does it matter?
Can you teach me please
