“Carefully.”
Men know surprisingly little about something women go through every month. We educated this man about periods.

The definition of a period:
Uterus wants baby
Uterus doesn't get baby
Uterus gets REVENGE
this is the most accurate thing I've ever read.
i love ur profile pic 😍😍
@@izzy6022 thanks! MendesArmy4ever
And :
Uterus doesn't get bored of revenge until Menopause.
And then menopause causes other pain and other problems...
Why do all men think the pad sticks to your body???
I think they think it's like a bandaid.
So did I before I had my first period
Wait... it doesn’t work like that?
@@funnycomplications4582 in case you're being serious... no. Remove the protective strip from the pad, and it sticks to the underwear. The "wings" on the side wrap around the crotch area of the underwear to protect from leaks

I honestly have never seen that inserter thing in my country. At least not in commercials or the only pack I ever bought. It is (for most anyway) just unnecessary plastic
In germany we dont have those. I dont get the use? 🤔
when I got my first period I thought I was going to die because no one taught me about it and my parents just celebrated and took me out to eat without explaining anything so I thought they were celebrating me dying taking me to my last meal 😭
Girl! I feel you. I was 13 and had no clue and only had it once that entire year, so I just never told anyone. And then I got it again at 14 and was fiiinnnaally like “oh thank god, I’m not dying”. Only to discover I’d die just a little bit each month 🙃
omg I- CAN’T- BREATHEEE YOU THOUGHT IT WAS YOUR LAST MEAL 😂
I can't believe they celebrated your period, my mum just gave me a pad and said 'well .. there you go' (i knew what period was because i learnt about it from my older sister) 😂
@@sapphiiee idk I guess there were celebrating me becoming a woman. I didn't understand it either!
I got my first period while being at my aunts (who I only see once a year) and I was wearing a dress. I didn’t do anything but put toilet paper in my underwear and I bled through them soooo quickly. My aunt asked if I got my period and I said no 😭😂 but I had bled on the (beige) sofa
Uterus:thinks it's gonna get a baby
Also uterus:decorates and prepares for a baby and gets exited
Me:doesn't get preg0
Uterus:tears down all the stuff and throws a hissyfit

I'm so angry with all those parents who never thought it'd be a good idea to teach their children about periods, especially if they're gonna get one. I was kinda freaked out and embarrassed on my first period and I already knew what it was and what to do. My mom explained it to me when I was around 9 or 10 and she's always been really open and helpful. I can't even begin to imagine what an 11 year old could think is happening to them if they never got taught how periods work either from their school or their caregivers
A friend started at 10 and thought she was dying. Fortunately, even though I was only 9, I knew enough to calm her down and get her some help.
and when they taught us in 5th grade they called it SEX education, which it is but I'd been taught sex is BAD, so I tuned everything out. It was like "hey you are actually going to need this knowledge very soon if you don't know it already!" Like the lady said, needs to be less "every 28 days the womb sheds its lining" and "one day soon, you'll go to the bathroom and blood will come out, and it's normal."
I’ve known what a period was since I was about 3 because I saw my mum put pads in and stuff and she has always been open about it. It worked out so well for me because I knew exactly what to do and I wasn’t shocked about it when we learnt about it at school like some kids
I've seen grown women who don't even know how their own bodies work regarding periods/pregnancy because they were never taught. It's really sad and honestly frightening that we are allowing people to go out into the world SO uneducated about how to care for themselves or prevent unplanned pregnancies. Thankfully my mother (who used to work as a registered nurse) was always very open with my sisters and I regarding all that, so when it DID happen, yeah, it was stressful and inconvenient...but we knew that it was natural and knew what to do. After that it's mainly a matter of "Well crap...I gotta deal with THIS every month now".
whenever i was having puberty problems she would give mw this book all about puberty and periods and growing up…. AND WHENEVER SHE GAVE ME THE BOOK I WOULD INTERNALLY BLOW UP BECAUSE I WANT HER TO TALK TO ME NOT THE DUMB BOOK TALKING TO ME
They should definitely be tax free. Moreover, they should be made from materials that are non-toxic.
I use pads even those aren't made with great chemicals but actually inserting tampons with all those chemicals INSIDE i feel like is way worse.

I am 67 years old now, and started my "cycles" at 14.5. Lots of pain from the beginning. Didn't know I had endometriosis until my total hysterectomy when I was 47 years old!

I'm very sad to hear that. I hope you're okay now. Congratulations on your child.

Once in high school I was in a class with two male teachers and one female teacher. I was curled up in a ball about to pass out on the floor whilst clenching my abdomen from my agonizing cramps. The male teachers were like “what is wrong with this girl?” The female teacher walked up and sat beside me and said “you’ve got your period, don’t ya hun?” I nodded yes and then she sent me to the nurse’s office and I went home.

Why should they be free though?😅
Also, men need food and food isnt free yet, why would the situation be different for pads/tampons?
@@justsomerandomname2067 I don't know where you live but in my country we have the option for free healthcare (you can get free contraceptive pills and condoms for example, as well as any other medicine your doctor prescribes) so at least to me it seems like period related stuff should fit into that same category. It's not something we can help but have, there's nothing we can do about it but control its symptoms by taking hormonal contraceptives, ibuprofen (both of which you can get for free) and using pads/tampons/menstrual cups.
If not free they should at least be heavily subsidized. They can be rather expensive, especially if you have a heavier period that lasts for longer than 6 days and you live with multiple people who will most probably get their periods at the same time as you (and not everyone has that kind of money to just throw away in the form of a pad each month)

That's insane and so wrong.

tbf, compared to the reusable menstrual cup, it could be a bit more luxury.
But yeah, should be like any sort of medicine.
Ok so now CZcams is tracking my menstrual cycle.
I feel as if the endometrioses bit wasn't explained well enough. It's not just about pain.
Basically the tissue that usually only builds in the uterus to be prepared for a possible fertilized egg to implant, not only grows in the uterus, but also outside of it. It can attach to other organs as well. And every months it becomes more and more, because it can't be bled out like the normal tissue. So, when there's too much of it, that's when the pain starts. And it becomes stronger each month. The tissue can also lead to bowel problems and others. It's really horrible that women are often not being taken seriously when they talk about pain and that it takes so long for them to be diagnosed.
The scary thing is that endometrial tissue can in rare cases float in the blood stream, there was a woman that wound up with endometrial tissue in her lungs and brain. Even when it's not as crazy as that some people's cervix and uterus get fused to organs around them from all the endometrial tissue growing. It's hardcore.
No the blood doesn’t stay there it is absorbed by your body , but blood where blood isn’t supposed to be in the body is very painful. Just like a large bruise. You don’t end up with 40 years of old blood in you.
Yes I agree she could have actually explained what endo was.
(person with endometriosis here!) the tissue that grows outside the uterus is actually 'Similar' but totally different than the tissue that grows INSIDE the uterus. It even creates its own estrogen supply independently of the ovaries, which is one of the many reasons why getting a hysterectomy isn't a cure. Also pain and the amount of endo tissue doesn't necessarily correlate with pain, some people can have it everywhere, and not even know they have endo; other people can have it in only a few spots, and feel like hell. The tissue breaks down and is reabsorbed by the body which creates this sort of festering gunk that can fuse your organs together (it can also present as clear slime, that does the same thing, but is harder to diagnose because it is damn near impossible to see). Surgery is the only way to properly diagnose because unless you have things like cysts as well, it doesn't show up on any scans. Surgery is done laparoscopically, and there are two methods ablation and excision. Ablation really doesn't work well because it's just burning off surface level endo tissue on internal organs (it's like melting the tip off the iceberg and saying "good enough") whereas excision is actually cutting into organs to dig out as much tissue as possible (while trying not to do any serious damage to the internal organs...but it happens). But because it creates its own estrogen supply and feeds off of that, it always grows back.
If people were to talk to boys about periods when they were little then they wouldn't be weirded out
Exactly! That's what I did. Open doors for him to wander in and out on his own terms. He first really noticed when he was 2 years old, so I explained in terms he could understand from then onwards. He always felt comfortable to ask questions. He was never distressed or embarrassed by periods, other blood , his or anyone else's, or anything related to the body. It was just all part of life. I also explained when I had PMS so he would be prepared for any over reactions! He appreciated the warnings! If he knew I was having my period, he wouldn't worry, and would know it was temporary and I would feel better soon. When I was too sick to leave home, at 12 years old he walked to the local shop and bought me sanitary products. He said it was an interesting psychological experiment seeing people looking at him weirdly while he was buying them! He was totally comfortable about the whole thing, and happy to do something more mature and independent and help me. :)

@@karaa7595 Your son will probably be the source of bodily information and sex education for kids at school! Kids will figure out he is comfortable with, and knows stuff, and probably ask him loads of questions. Because kids are embarrassed to ask teachers. Puberty can start, in the normal range, from 9 years old for boys, and from 8 for girls with this generation. So it's good to be prepared! It sounds like you have a wonderful, healthy relationship with your son. It's heartwarming. 💜
@@karaa7595 awww that's soo sweet

Kudos to Natalie for making this video but Tom is adorable. He's definitely a keeper, caring, kind, compassionate, & eager to look after his girlfriend in a way of her choosing. I wish all men were like him, the world would be a better place.
Where did you find him 😫😫 I need men in my life like this!! I’m tired of cringing every time an uneducated guy opens his mouth about female things.
Want to take a pop quiz on male things? =P
Dude no fricking way it’s a shot glass, to be fair I’m pretty heavy but I wake up with a shot glass in my pants and that’s after a few hours not days

exactly, it’s probably a shot glass of the solid bits alone 😂
I mean, using a menstrual cup I drop at least half a shot glass every time I empty it during the first two/three days
Shot glass of actual blood, the other stuff is different fluids and tissue that the uterus made for the uterus bed :)
@@aang3267 they didn’t mention that though so it makes it seem easier when it’s not
I really appreciate how understanding he is and such a good listener he is 😌🙌
There is only that amount of blood specifically for healthy women, but there are other things mixed with it. Don't think it's not a big deal and a lot of work, pals without periods. Especially if you have any illnesses that affect your periods. Like PCOS or Endometriosis. There's other fluids mixed with the blood that build up the walls of the uterus and are helping to get the shed layer and blood out so there's more discharged than a shot glass over 4 days. And way more when it's far longer... Ugh.
totally agree, and also some people’s uterus’ can just decide, ‘happy birthday lemme release two eggs not one’ so it can be heavier because of that! a shot glass every 4 days sounds ridiculous, more like a shot glass per two tampons 😂
Thank you for clarifying that! I’m on the birth control shot and it messes up my period so bad, I am getting off of it, however a few times I have bled for 2 months in a row!!!! I’m not kidding I lost enough blood to pass out and probably die.
There's always other fluids besides blood regardless of conditions (person with endometriosis here) because you aren't JUST shedding blood, the whole lining of the uterus is breaking down and being flushed out of your body, along with things like discharge as well. I absolutely hate the heavy bleeding and the clotting. Thankfully I take meds to stop my period, but I'll never forget how awful it was getting it and bleeding like crazy for even as long as 2-4 weeks. And some people without health conditions can bleed heavy too, but of course if it's really heavy (or you feel lightheaded at any time) definitely worth getting checked out by a doctor who actually listens; because better safe than sorry.
@@Panda72021 100%, I envy people with light periods that don't suffer because of them.
@@TheHestya Right? They just seem to breeze through it. Of course they could be more miserable than they are letting on, and are just great at hiding their discomfort/pain. But anyone who has ever suffered with periods knows there's a certain amount of pain (or literally any of the other symptoms) that are just impossible to hide.
I honestly don't get mood swings on my period, so the trope that women who are angry must be on their periods is a bit tiresome. PMS doesn't affect all women, so quite a few of us can be very happy even when we're dripping blood down there, or we could be angry because somebody did something bad or we're going through crappy circumstances.
Yeah, if anyone says that to me I would get very annoyed (thing is, guys in my class are very immature and barely know what periods are so luckily they never say that to me or any other girls) but if someone did say that, the next time they get angry I'd just be like "weLL sOmEoNeS oN tHEir pEriOd"
Same. I dont typically get mood symptoms. If I am short-tempered, it's from a bad bout of cramps. I think most people get snippier when they're in pain.
it makes me very angry that some men tend to think that women can only get angry when on their period.
People have different PMS symptoms. It is annoying when people lump PMS-ing women as emotional wrecks that can be appeased by a little chocolate. I admit i can be a bit snappish at times, but it doesn’t mean i’m on my period or that giving me a bar of chocolate will make my righteous anger magically disappear.
@@margauxarguelles6128 Though to be fair, I would typically take chocolate as a thoughtful gesture intended to cheer me up, no matter the time of the month.
She talking about women and girls with fairly light periods. I. Would of loved a 4 day period I considered it good if it only lasted 10 days!.
Wow 10 days is that common? I genuinely didn't know.
@@aspiring... yeah me either ;-; I only have 3 days... but then again I am only 15, so that might be changing at anytime when I get older :/
I am on my second period but on my first it lasted for seven days
@@universalpenguin7113 wow your second period? like, ever? how old are you, if you don't mind me asking lol

“Carefully” I’m dead 😂
Wow! You guys are amazing, you obviously have a wonderful relationship to be able to talk so openly about periods. Your partner is such a nice guy who obviously cares so much about you to share everything about you 👍❤️
The things that’s really annoying is the lower back pain cause I already get bad lower back pain from my scoliosis lmao
I do too, but I actually like better my back pains than the belly ones, simply because I'm used to them more.

This is one of the most wholesome video I have ever seen, I love how much he knows about it and how much he is willing to want to learn more :)
When he asked what he should get her for her food carvings I was like “Awwww he’s so sweet”. Also I’m impressed by how much he knew
Dang guys thanks for all the likes.
Anyone that lives with a girl should know this amount minimum, and if they don’t you’ve failed as a girlfriend (or he’s an asshole for not listening)
The bar is soo low....
@@sydney4220 not as low as for men though :p
"Recyclable?"
"No"

I agree dude!!
I'm on my period, find this vid, think "Oh hey, I'm curious what he knows!" As soon as Natalie asks the endometriosis question I start crying. Some of it might be hormones, some pain... But most of it is the feeling of being seen and feeling so happy that that question was included.
I'd like to ask anyone that doesn't know what Endometriosis is to have a look online. Find the details, look up the symptoms and what it might lead to. One day you might recognize these details in yourself, your family, friends, coworkers or just a random woman suffering on the street. And you'll be able to tell them to look into it and save them YEARS OF PAIN without a clear cause.
Thank you Joe
“I feel like you’d know when that gets full.” 😂😂😂😂😂
He is adorable and super understanding and willing to be more informed. She has a good one :)
Adorable these two. This video should be shared in classrooms with kids to show them how men and women should interact about such things.
this was the absolute best way I've heard periods explained and talked about. Usually the subject makes me uncomfortable, but I think this is a fantastic video. Very nice couple.
I feel like you should probably talk about secretions too, no one talk about them but basically every person who menstruates has them (to a certain degree)
Very well described and I loved the way they both discussed the subject without any embarrassment.
"SHOULD BE FREE" that's a King right there!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
I know I probably won’t get recognized, but at 5:16 she said that it is from 11 to 14 that periods start, but it can actually start between 9 and 16! I am one of the people that started at 9 years old, so, just to let anyone here know that it isn’t necessarily between 11 and 14 that someone will have periods, ok? :)
I was also 9 when I had my first period
Yeah but that is the average not everyone is the same
The range is really big. I got mine really late, I was 16/17.
I get really bad period pain (passing out bad) and I remember how bad it would be in school. Loads of guys (and girls) would make fun of you if you complained about the pain or passed out. They should really teach you the extent of the pain when you're in school because it feels like someone is digging a knife into you
Thank you SO much for covering endometriosis! I had stage 4+ along with adenomyosis, causing extreme illness and infertility. Last year I needed a hysterectomy, oopherectomy (ovary removed) and excision surgery to remove the endo. More people need to talk about this and learn about it so thank you!! xo
get you a mans like this guy!!! He's so supportive and amazing.
Good guy!!! He handled that really well and respectful!!!
Parents should teach all their children about periods and things like that. It helps avoid awkward situations. Once I was in 6th grade. A lot of the girls had periods at my school by then and I like to think all of them carried around pads, tampons, or menstrual cups. So I have a jansport backpack with 5 pockets. 2 big pockets where I put my books. 1 medium pocket for pencils and pens. I had 2 small pockets. One was higher up and I kept my chapstick, money, school ID cards, and my phone in that pocket. The other pocket was stuffed with pads. Me and my friends always showed up an hour before school and we had 0 period so we were basically alone. We decided to go through each other’s backpacks while we were waiting (which looking back on it is sorta stupid and an invasion of privacy). So we looked at the books, moved on to the pencils and finally we were onto the pads. I said I didn’t want them to look in that pocket because my period was new and the schools didn’t talk about it with us at all. I think the other girls knew what was in there but the guys didn’t. This one guy was pestering me (He’s really nice and was probably just curious). Then he tried to reach and open it and I stopped him. When he asked what was in there In said girl things. He clearly didn’t know what that meant because he kept questioning. He probably thinks I had a vape or something in there :P

He is a very thoughtful and just overall decent guy.
It’s so sweet that he was so understanding and also asked what he should get her next time she has a craving ☺️
Not sure why this is popping up a year later but im glad they included a moon cup. Ive used one for years & never looked back, life changing. Probably saved a decent amount not buying disposable products, which are disgusting when you think about it & the waste it generates. But i remember them making me sore & irritated :( the silicone cups are so much more comfortable. Just takes a little getting used to in the beginning.
How were you in the beginning? I've made an attempt to use one but it was so difficult to put in and take out I don't know if I could try again
@@sarahmcm5559 it's definitely weird at the beginning. I found at first putting it in and taking it out could be complicated. As it's supposed to suction to your walls to prevent leakage the first day or so the pressure was unusual (but no different than how the first time using a tampon is unusual). And it takes a bit of practice to figure out how to get the cup into place correctly. As for taking it out, I've found the trick is to break the suction before you pull it out by pressing it on one side with a finger before grasping the tail. I think it took 2 months for me to really figure it out. But I 100% recommend you try it again, I find it much more comfortable and flexible than other options. I like that I don't need to change it every time I go to the bathroom and can wait until I'm in my own house (barring an unusually heavy flow). And I often forget I'm wearing one and like that's it's not a visceral reminder that I'm on my period every second of the day.
@@caitlyncarson9151 thanks for your advice :) it was breaking the suction I found hard to do, I can see how it could cause some problems if not done correctly ... Definitely isn't an easy option compared to pads but hopefully I can get into it with some practice
@@sarahmcm5559 I think I had three different cups that I had problems with either getting it out again or feeling comfortable with the cup inside. Then the 4th on just fit perfectly and I never had problems ever since.
All these cups sort of look the same, but small changes in shape and size can go a big way :)
Endometriosis is gnarly! The uterine lining spreads to other organs and still behaves as it would in the uterus!
I wish all men were like your boyfriend,we need to teach men about periods and let them know what it’s like for us.you’re right about endometriosis being misdiagnosed. I suffered with it for years and the pain was horrific. I only found out i had it when i was going in for a hysterectomy at 34.it was in my medical records and no-one thought to tell me,its really important to get the right diagnosis and get it early.
Great video, so good to see this conversation happening so openly
We don't understand completely but we try are hardest to understand and this has helped me to understand more
I never understand why everyone always talks about emotional stuff when on their period. I’ve never experienced that
it's different for everyone, some ppl have rlly bad mood swings others don't same with the likes of cramps, blood flow, discomfort ect, everyone has a different experience
Because some people have them ? Some don't have pain at all, but everyone associate periods = pains. So ...well.
Lucky you ! Maybe your hormones levels don't get super unbalanced then. When i'm PMSing i have very dark thoughts, and then i look at my calendar and it all makes sense.
Then you are lucky
Different for everyone...ive never gotten.acne. only emotional at times. And I bleed a fuck ton more than what they call the norm. I bleed through baby diapers because I have to use them as pads because there arent pads that can take that much blood.
The way that he is so normally talking about it is so fabulous
That 1st period reaction of her mom, "oh my god, you've got your period!" & Then informing every aunties is such an Asian thing. 😐😂🤦🏽
My parents knew I was about to & I knew a bit about it but it was a shock. How they knew was I got incredibly depressed right before & didn't want to leave my mother's side. Which both were extremely out of character for me. Me & my grandparents had just got back from a vacation. My friends hadn't seen me in a while & I didn't want to even go outside. So my grandmother took me to a specialist because how depressed I was & they said that was why. Shortly after I started my first period.

lovely couple. Love that they are speaking so normally about it. Because it IS normal. And should be normal not only for woman! Thank you for this video
Oh my goodness! This was a good video! And thank you as well for including information about endometriosis! That I was not expecting as it is not a subject that gets talked about a lot! As a endometriosis sister, thank you!!
My god, these two are so great in their own ways.
He's so good about it great bf and also thanks for being like woman's spokesperson to all the men you explained periods amazingly thank-you xxxxx
I agree so much that they shouldn't just teach about the biological side of it! They should teach about hormones too and what they do with your mood. They also could compare it to the male hormone cycle so the average boy would understand better. If they're really good they could also teach about transgender people's hormones and periods...
If my kid will not learn all this in school, I will teach it! 💪
All of it.
Ohh this is great!! Spot on, I'm so glad you talked about it. My ex who had been surrounded by women growing up and married twice must've walked around with his eyes wide shut lol. He said..he's never come across someone who gets so ill from it like me. What your fella said is what most guys think and say, he did really well🐝Manchester, England

I got my first period on holiday and i was so embarrassed that i couldn’t tell my mum. I wish i had been taught more about periods in school. Looking back its awful that I felt embarrassed about something so natural, but i guess thats how *society* works.
I got mine when i was in english class, i felt bad on that day and didn't know why. So i got my period and my friend had some pads, thank god! Without them ....Well lets not think about that!
Omg. Every woman I know - every month - is always like ohhhhhh it’s my period. Suddenly it makes sense. Like every month I am surprised! We are alllll surprised. Every month! I’m so glad you said that. Validating.
She's spot on about the emotions. Hormonal emotions (except in cases of pmdd) and the physical pain just make it harder to deal with things that ordinarily irritate, anger or upset you.
Omgosh where are all the men like him? i know it's a video but he's so sweet and listening.
He did a great job understanding and knowing a lot of these things. I'm glad there are people (guys) that are like that
