I’m TERRIFIED of putting in a tampon, and I never knew which hole to use. Thank u so much this may make me want to give tampons a go!
Did you try using a tampon?
You didnt know witch hole to use is this joke?
This video really helped with my anxiety of tampons, i’ve been so scared of them for s long time but this video made me feel a lot better about it. I might consider using tampons now :) Thank you
I’m so happy to hear this ❤️❤️ Remember to never force anything and just do what your body is most comfortable with!! Sending love
@@NadyaOkamotoOfficial I love your videos pleeeaaaaasse replyyyy
I would honestly just go for it I personally always used pads and I hate the feeling of the blood everywhere and it was a game changer. I would start small tho if u decide to give them a try
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! ❤❤

So much loveeee
Hi Nadya quick question my mom told me that I cant use a tampon until im 18 but I just wanna know what you consider a good age to start using it :) and I love your content so much I learned alot from you and I wish in the future you make more anatomy vids :))
Thanks so much for your kind words!! Honestly, the best age is whenever YOU feel ready, there is no “set age” where you should start. Do what your body is comfortable with!
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’ve used them all growing up on my period! We decided to focus on pads/tampons since it’s what 98% of our target market uses, but we are definitely thinking of expanding our product line - stay tuned for updates :)
@@NadyaOkamotoOfficial AHHHH! Thank you so much for responding. It's literally the sweetest thing that you go out of your way to like and comment on every single comment. 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!!
Thank you so much!
Much love 🥰
Tysm my parents never taught me that so I have been wearing pads for ages Tysm
I’m so glad this was helpful! Hope you try august tampons!
I’ve loved august for maybe a year or so and I never saw any period swimwear so I was wondering if august has period swimwear?
Is it supposed to fit the natural shape of my body why does it feel slightly odd and slightly uncomfortable for the butterfly shape to come out compared to a cylinder??
I was on your TT live
awww yay! :) hope this is helpful!
@@NadyaOkamotoOfficial yes
Hey! I love your channel I was just wondering if you could tell us or do a video about your education and how you got to where you are??
Oh i love that idea! I’ll def brainstorm something on this. I’ve done an episode too about my thoughts on college!
Just check out tigress on Spotify or apple :)
What if you don’t put it in that degree angle/ to upper back
What if your discharge is not stretchy but it’s clear and wet and drys??
i am still very confused on where the home is? like am i dumb 😭 like i’m still so confused
I just got my first period and I’m thinking about trying tampons bc wearing pads feels like I’m wearing a dirty diaper
I found the holeee🎉🎉🎉
Now im waiting for my period to try and use a tampon but its not a agust one 😢
I really want some of the pads and tampons but there to expensive for me
The one that sre in my house are regulars but that kinda works for me cuz i feel like my periods aren't light i feel like there regular
But thanks you helped a lot you remind me of a big sister thank you for normalizeing periods cuz i used to not like talking abt them cuz i felt uncomfortable but i realized its normal and i cant stop it and its just gonna happen and some times you need to talk about them beacuse their important im not fully comfortably talk abt it to people but i am more confident talkinh abt it to myself and researching more abt my body thank you
For my next peiod I'm pasted my first
@@puppydogmia have you tried tampons yet? If so how’d it go? I found my hole, too, now I just have to wait for my next period😅
Can you use a tampon for a heavy period
Yes! I recommend the August Super tampon❤️
I really want to order a subscription from august but i dont know how to ask my mom so it isnt ao awkard
Any tips to ask?
Hi!! I think definitely just being very transparent and saying something like “Mom, I found this new sustainable period brand and would love to get the monthly subscription for my period!” Sending you love 💞💞
@@NadyaOkamotoOfficial thank you!!! 💖
did you say you had a period for 9-10 days sorry i’m not being rude i’m just asking because mines only 5-6 is that normal x
it can change between women
Do you ship august to New Zealand?
YESS we do!! Look up August on Shop Mayple for international orders ❤️❤️
@@NadyaOkamotoOfficial ok
hi i luv ur vids and im only 10 and im really really really scared to get my period can you give me sum tips so i can look back at this when i get my period also what happends if i get it at school 😢😢. plsss helpp
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!
I watched this bc I forgot I don’t have a period anymore due to birth control 💀
-still glad I finally understand though
Tampax also has that kind of tampon
Ours are different! Better ingredients, axially shapes to better fit your anatomy, and 100% recyclable! Read more on our website ❤️
My science teacher 3:22

ᴛʜᴀɴᴋs ɴᴀʏᴅᴇᴀ
