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

Queen, you need to teach more little girls, more boys about periods. I havent got mine yet but I LOVEEE your videos❤
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!

Never to young to learn
Yes! I will show this to my daughters.
It's so good that you teaching them
It’s great you’re teaching your kids about periods and period products
Maybe start with pads then tampons I wouldn't want them experimenting by themself
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 love love love this 👏
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!

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.
I love how this was explained besides the comparison to candy and a popsicle lol
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 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.
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
Please come to South Africa in Gauteng Johannesburg
It's more easier to teach and visual with a water bottle . (Just trying to help)
Ok we need this to happen more
I wish my mom would have teached me abt periods like this 😭👍
Love this❤️ so cute and sweet and now they don’t have to be all confused when it happens for them
Yessss we need to stop treating periods like a hush hush topic ❤❤
Today i was having terrible cramps and it souldnt stop i was crying 😢
They will thank you so much when they are older

How do you use a tampon without applicator
@livv5

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
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
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 😊
Vampire tea lol but also I wish my mom did this!!
