That was the best pun I'll ever make. Period.

Good lord that was funny. You pulled a Kramer and exited stage left immediately hahaha

👏👏👏👏 good job. You have offended every girl 😂😂

Oh god 😂😂😂👏🏻👏🏻

Oh god 😂😂😂👏🏻👏🏻

Evan Edinger see, that doesn't work in the UK, we call them full stops, not periods

Evan Edinger are you kidding me?! ×) lmao

Evan Edinger I didn't get it at first, in my country it's a full stop we don't call it a period 😂

Oh my God Evan, that was just wow. This is why I love you

Evan Edinger How do you pin someone else's comment?

Evan Edinger bloody hell evan why are you like this

PFFT. <br>Admittedly, that one wasn't bad.

a round of menopause,<br>wow okay i need to stop

a round of menopause,
wow okay i need to stop


hahahaha i'm watching this for the first time now.

Jamesy Bumholes do you feel joy by being rude?

Tessa Violet please excuse Jamesy "Buttwhole" I have no idea why he is being rude


the fear of tampons in teenage boys is actually hilarious

someone spilled a bunch of tampons in the hall and a male friend of mine picked one up, clueless. and i looked at him, and asked quietly, "David.. do you know what that is?"
he shook his head no.
i told him, "that is a tampon."
he *shrieked*. like a small child. threw the tampon across the hall saying "ewewewew" and then looked at me and whispered, "was it used?" and i shook my head.
"David.. it was still in the wrapper."
he just glared at me and then ran to the boys room and washed his hands then came back all upset and disgusted with everything.

LMAO if it was used you would know about it... BlOoD

Alex LeBlanc we all need a man like that

lmao this scene is actually pretty funny to think abt but i gotta say..<br>r/quityourbullshit

lmao this scene is actually pretty funny to think abt but i gotta say..
r/quityourbullshit

Maddie Dayton LOOOOLLLLL THAT MADE MY DAY

"Was it used?" "David...it was still in the wrapper" I'm DEADDDDD 😂😂😂😂😂

One time at summer camp this kid had a REALLY bad nosebleed and they plugged his nose with a tampon because we were far away from the clinic and he was completely unfazed. He was actually making jokes and stuff, which is really surprising.

I'm so lucky to have my boyfriend lol he's really understanding and chill about periods, he even keeps tampons in his room in case I forget to bring them to his house


I'm a guy and I once got really sick and was feeling INTENSE STABBING PAINS in my abdominal region and I was on the floor in like tears and my friend who's a girl came up to me and was like "what does it feel like" I explained it to her and she was like "oh yeah same" and I was like "why are you not dying" and she said "it just feels like a period tbh" IM FUCKING SORRY!!! SOME PEOPLE HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS FOR A WHOLE WEEK EVERY MONTH FOR YEARS!! now when I hear people say guys are tougher than girls I'm like "let me tell you a story..."

I’ve read loads of stories of women who’s appendix have burst and they didn’t know because they thought it was their period!! And then men when their appendix burst can’t get out of bed aha

Actually really thanks I appreciate this comment cuz most people are like "its just cramps" and Ita usually at school so the peeps who say that to me often get a peice of stationary thrown at them cuz especially when I've got up early for school and my stomache is trying to destroy me from the inside I CANNOT TAKE anyone ever saying I'm being dramatic lmao! also.... I was once doing archery and assault courses on my period and I told my friend cuz although I did it the sensation was uncomfortable and a boy overheard and was like EWWWW and I was just like SERIOUSLY I'm not bleeding all over the floor am I?

THIS IS HONESTLY MY FAVORITE THING RN AND IDK WHY

True, women have been proven to have a higher pain tolerance bc of birth and periods. Some cramps have been proven to be as painful as heart attacks.


Why do men get so uncomfortable about periods? I will NEVER understand this. I'm not disturbed by the male anatomy and functions...

cause they like to sexualization everything about female anatomy. or just female-born anatomy to be more inclusive

Honestly it freaked me out the first couple times I got it cause AHHHH BLOOOOOOD, so I totally get it lol it's weird

El Gato Amarillo - I completely get what you are saying,and you are right to say that, but I think they meant male and were assuming (which I know they shouldn't do) that no men get their period

As a man who gets his period I am heavily uncomfortable with this question

As a man who gets his period I am heavily uncomfortable with this question

I think it’s because we’d imagine bleeding through the penis which is a very weird thought. We try to draw comparisons where there shouldn’t be any and it’s odd. In my experience most of us grow out of the ohhh weird phase.

Anna Does Things For me I get unconfortable because it's blood and blood makes me nervous.

I dont blame then cause my period still terrifies me :)

I dont blame then cause my period still terrifies me :)

i mean it is sometimes a little gross, and that’s coming from a girl who’s had her period for nearly two years now. also i think a lot of it is misinformation and no education about it bc then people with penises think it’s worse than it is or believe myths about it

I'm a boy and I actually agree with you and like one of my (female) friends talk about it to me and (male) friends and they get freaked out and I'm like “yeah?!?” LIKE WTF

Anna Does Things possibly cuz man don't bleed naturally. And blood isn't the most comforting

Anna Does Things possibly cuz man don't bleed naturally. And blood isn't the most comforting

None of my guy friends get uncomfortable around it, but whenever I mention it in front of my dad he freaks out its wierd

Anna Does Things
And I am awkward when people mention periods
They disgust me
I think why I hate it is because some girls talk about it naturally and they have "no shame"
And I'm jealous of them
I would like to have "no shame"when talking about things like that (I can't even say it) and that makes me mad
That they can talk about it and be fine and that I, for some reason can't
Because it feels awkward

Probably because its like "hey GOIYS I bleed put of my vagina and it smells really bad and I get cramps!" Its natural I know I know im a girl myself but even as a girl I don't wanna hear it. Its personal business. I don't think that smelly af blood coming out of your vagina every month should be like a casual conversation.

Personally as a male, I get uncomfortable when any type of female parts are mentioned because I was raised in a family where any anatomy is immediately related to sexual context so when I mention learning like anatomy, I would be shut up by my relatives, so I just assumed that if I mention any of those things, everyone will go batshit crazy and slap me for saying such stuff...

Exactly. %99 of boys at my school would freak out if they saw this video i was fine because my mother and sister talked so openly about theirs

As a guy myself, I honestly don't understand either. Periods are natural and there's nothing to be freak out about. I'm actually quite glad some of my friends are open about when they're on their periods and most of my knowledge on them actually came from said friends. There is nothing to feel uncomfortable about.

Also, one time in science class we had to write an essay on a body organ. Obviously, my first thought was to write about the uterus because I think the uterus is the most badass organ. But then the teacher said we couldn't do the uterus because it makes people uncomfortable?? All the girls were very confused and angry. I'll never understand why we have to hide our body parts just because they come with stereotypes.

I honestly have no idea. I mean, If I have to watch commercials for your Viagra and condoms, you can sit through a tampon commercial.

i don't because my mom and sister talk about theirs regualrly and i have a girlfriend now so yeah

i don't because my mom and sister talk about theirs regualrly and i have a girlfriend now so yeah

Very few penis-folk have childhood experiences of blood being involved in healthy processes. Nosebleeds and injuries are often their only direct experience until later on - the sort of things they're told to fix, cover up, and talk little about. Unfortunately many families also won't be sex/body-positive enough to even discuss the fact that reproductive anatomy exists, let alone how it naturally functions for someone who isn't you. It makes for a very scary and steep learning curve that many men and boys are too intimidated to take on once they have the agency and maturity to do so.

+Gracie Hemmings xox something that's natural can be gross...like shits. Do you want me to tell you that I have diarrhea or something evertime I have it lol? Im super open with my period cause I'm around people who are okay with me talking about it, but all I'm saying is that it's normal if people feel grossed out about it that's it. Don't need to be so rude jeez

Honestly, I think it's because we care about you? I used to get uncomfortable around period topics and it's not because I thought it was gross. I think it's because it sometimes hurts quite a lot and there's so much stigma associated with the way it affects women mentally. As in, I want to give you a hug because it looks like you are in pain, but I can't really ask you if that's why because I don't wanna offend you. It's just sort of hard (for me at least?) to comprehend what to do in that situation? Im not really uncomfortable about it anymore though, having some amazing l, honest and loving friends cleared that right up ✌🏻

Anna Does Things agreed. Like my girlfriend was so surprised when I was totally fine and chilled about her period

Min Gramps agree I wanted to give that argument too but didn't.<br>But you're right. exactly that.

Min Gramps agree I wanted to give that argument too but didn't.
But you're right. exactly that.

Shit is natural part of the body too, but it's still gross if people talk about it, especially in detail like some girls talk about their periods. It's literally blood coming out of your vagina, that's gross. Some guys can be rude about it for sure, but it's perfectly normal to feel uncomfortable.

So I'm a guy and I agree periods should be less of a taboo.
Anyhow as a guy I also understand getting uncomfortable about periods.
You want to know why?
You're freaking bleeding out of your vaginas.
A slimey bloody mess coming out of your vagina. and yes it's normal and every woman has it.
But imagine us men talking about blood coming out of our penisses every month.
Wouldn't that freak you out a little bit?
But men should be more understanding towards women and their periods.
And just take care of them and not complain.
Give them their chocolate, love and attention and get them through it.
'Cause after all you women are the ones who are hurting and bleeding and....well have periods every single month.

depends on the type of guy :) some guys can't hear anything about "gross" things girls do but there are also guys that just understand that a girls body is just as human as a guys body and ofc it's not all roses and sunshine :D personally don't mind talking about periods

Anna Does Things I see it as an advantage to make all the annoying men leave the room

I do apologize to Anna Does Things for clogging up her feed with shit, though.

Jamesy Bumholes Taking a jab at my name, huh? Never heard that one before, not at all lol. I think we've abandoned whatever we were arguing about a long time ago anyways. I'm just gonna leave on a positive note...I do like your profile pic. Good day.

Anna Does Things sure it's natural but it's kinda gross.

Jamesy Bumholes I won this argument long ago, and you just confirmed it. It was an honor, showing you up. Now you can rest your little head on your Old Testament, and we'll never have to speak to each other again. That's a deal I can get behind.

Jamesy Bumholes Man, I feel kinda sorry for you. Are you always this bitter?

Jamesy Bumholes I'm glad your arguments have reduced to insults. I seriously do not mind personal attacks. Tell me what's wrong with me, as long as you let the people who've done nothing wrong /alone/

Anna Does Things Not to be rude but I don't think men WANT to hear us say we're bleeding out of our vagina every once a month. Like yeah they shouldn't be that grossed out but I don't think I'd want to hear my friend say she's on her period unless it was an emergency

Jamesy Bumholes sanitary wipes are a thing we use, my friend.

Anna Does Things my friends and I literally have conversation about masturbation and then they see I have a bag on my binder and when they realize what's in it they look at me like I need holy water

Absolutely and I feel so lucky to have found someone who doesn't mind when I talk about periods and doesn't get freaked out. Wish all guys were the same tbqh

I'm really glad that your boyfriend cares for you like that! This is what every girl needs in her life to be honest, haha

Anna Does Things I have never understood this either. During the Easter holidays I was round my boyfriend's house and I bled through my trousers because my flow was heavier than it usually is. I was so scared because I didn't know how he would react... thankfully he was amazing and even helped me scrub the stain out which was a blessing! Any man who is not willing to ever hear about your period and what you are going through - never mind deal with it - isn't worth attention. There are some out there that can accept that it is something that nearly every woman has to go through and can support us. :)

Anna Does Things If something bleeds for an entire week and doesnt die, that creeps men out.

Anna Does Things If something bleeds for an entire week and doesnt die, that creeps men out.

Why would it freak them out though, we hear about anatomy, medical procedures and murder every other day and we don't bat an eye

I'm glad to hear this about you. However, I still don't get why it makes men uncomfortable. I can't relate to male anatomy and issues but I'm not uncomfortable learning or talking about it. Both are natural parts of life


"huh your period is weirder than most people" THATS WHAT MY CLUE SAYS ALL THE TIME

Literally same. It's like "YOU'RE LATE." "YOU'RE LATE AGAIN."


i was completely with it when dodie was giving out tips until she said exercising is good when youre pms'ing and then i was like hm no byE

PenguinIsFarts exercise makes it worse for me


Omg the app is in a folder called "my poor body" 😂😂😂

Salem The ukulele yep - “really bitch”, “u probs late”, “media socially”, “never use”, “treat yourself” idk about others? I just read those from this video after I saw “my poor body”😂

All of her folders are named hilarious things bro it’s amazing how funny she is.

I'm not the only one who felt that was worth mentioning then? 😂


I do really want to try the cups but?? How do I wash it at school? Like yes hello fellow student don't mind me while I wash my vagina blood down the drain

You bring your bag with you have a water bottle with you and rinse it out over the toilet xx

Imogen Lucille I dump it in the TOLIET and I just stick it back up cause I'm an awkward disgusting mess

Imogen Lucille I spy a Daniel in your pfp

apparently (i dont use one but ive heard from many people) that you can keep it in for 12 hours before you need to wash it out again, so if you time it right you wont need to wash it out at school unless it overflows haha

Imogen Lucille I’m in boarding school so I could only cook it in the student kitchen and that would be so awkward

Imogen Lucille this made me laugh so much lol

Jamesy Bumholes WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM?

Imogen Lucille you only need to clean it when you change it, in the morning and at bedtime. So you shouldn't need to change it at school

Imogen Lucille you don't need to, you can keep it in for up to 12 hours

Also Primark/Penneys do little packets of wipes and hand sanitizers so you don't have to feel like you're carrying around a changing (nappy) bag.

Bring wipes, hand sanitizer and a water bottle in with you. Sanitize those hands, grab your cup and throw the blood down the toilet. If there's blood on your hand use tissues or wipes to clean yourself up. Then use the water bottle to wash off the cup into the toilet and dry it off with tissue. Reinsert your cup, wipe your hands and throw the wipes into the sanitary bin. Make sure everything is g then go out and wash your hands. It's really not as daunting as it seems :)

I've had to wash it at school before and I'm always worried someone will freak out lolz I wish I had the baby wipe idea

Oh also there are videos from other youtubers explaining how to use them, advice etc. Really helped me out in the beginning.

I heard people just empty it into the toilet and use toilet paper or baby wipes to clean it.
I personally never have to do that while I'm at school. For me it's enough to empty it once in the morning and once in the evening. My flow is medium I would say.
I do definitely recommend them btw. Most convenient way to deal with your period in my opinion. When I'm not in pain I tend to completely forget that I'm on my period at all.
You could try it out during holidays or the weekend at first and judge for yourself how much you bleed in a few hours. The flow does tend to change tho. Mine is the heaviest on the second day for example. So keep that in mind.


Whenever my period is late i always have the thought of "am i pregnant" even tho i'm gay and also a virgin, but hey, never know if i'm going to be the next virgin mary

Same with me! I am a LESBIAN and I still think I’m pregnant if my period comes late 😂

Omg congrats! I’m ur 2kth comment/ reply

Enby Friend In order to let my friends know when I get my period I text them "I AIN'T THE VIRGIN MARY NO MORE!"
We all do it 😂

Also. MEEEEEE!!!!

Enby Friend I just think YAsss It hAS FrEEd Me FoR ANoThEr WEek

I ALWAYS think I'm pregnant even though I've never done anything sexual or romantic

Enby Friend yah that whole Mary thing freaks us women out tbh 😹😹😹

Same. Like there's literally no way I could be pregnant right now but my thoughts always go there first. Every fricking time

am i the only one who never has that thought

SAmE! During the Summer I don't have mine for like 2 months

Enby Friend SAAAMMMMEEE!! I thought I was the only virgin who thought they were pregnant until my friend just said it off hand and I was like OMg I think about that alll the time

Enby Friend same my period was 7 days late and my thoughts yesterday were "this is it, I'm pregnant" even tho I'm a virgin 😂

my friend's period went away for nine months. the jury is still out but my theory is ghost baby. haven't thought much about the logistics but i find it hilarious

Enby Friend that is so relatable it hurts????? I am actually Jesus so I shouldn't worry?

Happening to me currently!! Also hella gay and a virgin (sad times) but also I could've been inseminated in my sleep sooooooo

Enby Friend I'm straight and I'm a virgin but I have a THREE MONTH CYCLE and I swear everytime I'm having a baby

SAAAAME like i'm gay and in a relationship and a virgin but when it is late i'm like WOOOOOOW better start looking for jobs and getting  purple baby clothes and looking for names in a baby book


I got my first period when I was 11. At school. I freaking cried in the bathroom that day because I didn't want to grow up. It was like a death sentence

Lmao when i didnt get mine yet i was like "I DONT WANNA GROW UP AND GET MY PERIOD!!" and i was crying 😂😂but i got it now and im like "well, this is my life now."

Abigail :P I was 10 and it was at school too, the worst part was that i was the first out if like everyone i knew to get my period and i would snap at them and nobody understood until like 3 years later when everyone else got theirs:(

Abigail :P when I got mine I remember shouting 'SEND ME TO FUCKING NEVERLAND ALREADY😂'


"Can everyone tell? Does everyone know that i'm now

a woman?"

"Can everyone tell? Does everyone know that i'm now

*a woman?*"


funny story abt the first time i got my period:
i was thirteen, and coming back from a science convention with my mum, cousin, and aunt. we all went into wendys and i felt a warm blop of liquid, and i kind of knew it was my period,,, but i also thought i peed myself. so i went out to the car, got a pad, and then went to the restroom and saw the blood and i was just like
heck
so yep thats what happened and afterwards i ate chicken nuggets. the end.

taylor b I was in math class. With a male teacher. I got up to use the restroom, looked down, saw blood, and sighed louder than I've ever sighed in my life. I went back to class and asking to go to the nurse was sooo awkward, he made it so weird. Then the nurse made a big deal so everyone in the room heard it. Fun.


This is so weird but do you ever sneeze and you can feel like blood coming out this is gross

ITS THE WORST THING EVER ITS LIKE A FUCKIN JELLYFISH, additional note(I havent seen any people say this yet but still) to any guys that might say this is gross REMEMBER we as women do not control this and when I'm whining to all my friends saying that my cramps hurt, it's because they really frickin hurt!!! Like a persistent ache accompanied by a chorus of stabbing pains and nausea if I moooovvveeee <br>I really hope you girls relate....

I know I'm a year late but when I first got my period, I sneezed and I swear it was terrible. So much blood came out

Yeah. Or when you laugh, or cry, or cough.. but those are only the heavy days thank god 😂

YES! Or when you laugh or cry. I was at a show and I started crying when my idols came out and ended up bleeding through my pants.

Lol once I sneezed in science when I was on my period and my friend was like “you look like you’ve just seen a ghost”

Zara Mickelson Yes! That’s very common and it’s so annoying! I just hate the feeling of all that blood gushing out <b>shivers</b>

THIS IS JUST SO NECESSARY <br>What a role model, things like this need to be casually spoken about !!! My whole life people have AVOIDED talking about stuff like that with me (whispered, told me to leave a room) because I'm a guy. But I LOVE my female friends who will just chat to me about it. ITS BIOLOGY. Let's be open, chill and COOL about it all

This reminds me - I go to an all-girls school right, an in assembly they wanted to address the fact that someone had left a used tampon and wrappings on the floor of the bathroom once or twice. So at the very end of the college assembly, they very conspicuously (with speaker and podium) ask all the male teachers to leave the room before addressing it because they didn't want to "embarrass the male staff'"<br>These staff work 7 hours a day in a school with 1,400 teenage girls, I don't think they would really give a fuck/

Edith Wadeson ueah lol i started mine yesterday (the day this was posted)

Will Moore I'm not sure if my last comment posted successfully but I was just saying that I understand what you were trying to convey but just wanted to address the issue and your comment basically formed the basis which I could then expand upon. I do understand and agree with your message.

lianna399 just to clarify, I didn't say anything negative about people who don't want to talk about periods etc openly!  I totally see your point, but all I'm saying is that it shouldn't be hidden, suppressed and stigmatised as a topic that shouldn't be openly discussed by all genders! People definitely don't have to talk about it if they don't want to, but at the same time people who have periods should not have to feel embarrassed or worried about talking to ANYONE about topics like this - I think that's the whole point of Dodie's video: to be completely open and transparent about something that isn't talked about openly enough.

Will Moore Plus it feels kind of iffy for a male to complain because girls don't want to talk about certain things with him. It just doesn't seem right that someone would love female friends for talking openly about their periods with them. There is no right or wrong when it comes to who with or how people want to talk about their bodies and I think it wouldn't be right to love a female for talking to you about something you may potentially not experience as a male. I know your comment was well meaning, I just don't think you should imply that girls not wanting to talk about their periods with you is a negative thing or that girls doing so is a particularly positive thing. Both should be accepted as normal baseline behaviors, you know? No one should be praised or criticised for either! 😁

i love your comment, will, but i'm actually a little sad how happy everyone is to hear this from a guy? is talking about your period with your boyfriends, dads, brothers, guy friends really not a thing because THEY do NOT want to hear about it? what the hell?

Will Moore I get what you're saying Will but I think it's also important to accept that some people may not feel comfortable talking about this topic with others for various reasons including gender, and that's okay too. It's great to encourage openness but there's also absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to be more private or experiencing discomfort and asking that other people respect this privacy. They're allowed to talk about it with others but also entitled to avoid talking about it if they wish

I had a sex ed class on periods. Didn't help at all. This. This is HELPFUL. THANK YOU DODIE!! weirdest part started today 👏🏻👏🏻 nobody needed to know that lol

Will Moore can we be friends you seem so down to earth

Will Moore I totally agree with i feel people should be allowed to be open with. There body with both genders

Thank you so much! The world needs more males like you! Many boys in my health class act extremely uncomfortable and anybody who isn't uncomfortable is ridiculed. I feel like if people would talk to each other about each different sex's biology, we could understand ourselves and others better!

same! me too! People think I'm insane talking about my periods! When male friends ask me about periods, I just casually talked about it. And sometimes, when there are some other males around, they would just give me a weird look and walk further away. I was like.. Come on~ it's normal. It's biology. And you guys better know why you girlfriends get angry so easily sometimes because sometime period is damn painful and annoying. haha.

Will Moore GOD YES!! EVERYBODY THINKS I AM INSANE BECAUSE I TALK ABOUT PERIODS AND MY BODY AND STUFF

this is SO TRUE! I hate how taboo talking about this is I wish everyone was more open. It makes wanting to ask questions about this kinda stuff award and something to be avoided and I think it only furthers stereotypes about the topic.

Will Moore damn. Go you. Not even my father can stand me taking about my period

[FOREVER EMPHASIZING THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS]<br>Dude we definitely need more guys like you.

[FOREVER EMPHASIZING THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS]
Dude we definitely need more guys like you.

Booyyy there needs to be more guys like you. I enjoy talking about periods, especially the more scientific aspect of it. If you havent already, ASAP science has a video on periods ^^

Lora Reinfeldt You're so right - thanks for the reminder! Apologies if I excluded anyone, didn't intend to. Thank you!!! X

Definitely! You seem like a great guy, just some advice, I don't know if you know this, but try to be as inclusive as possible when talking about periods! Periods aren't limited to cis women. Trans guys, nonbinary people, etc. all can have periods, and it's important to recognize that, because they're often seen as a 'girl thing', but it's literally all people who have a uterus. Keep that in mind, and you'll continue to be a great person! Have an amazing day!


I thought I was the only one who gets aches between my legs.. It's awful!

My pains are on side  of my legs, right below my belly area AND IT HURTS

Jinx X My main pains are between my legs. I don't get heavy cramps (so far at least, I've had it for less than a year) but I do get pain in my legs and around there a lot.


Something I don't understand is how funny guys at my school find periods.<br>Yeah we bleed out our vaginas every month and go through immense pain- hilarious -_- ha, ha, ha -_-

April oh my goooddddd I used to ALWAYS get mine when I had to do a lit exam for some reason and normally I’m really good at lit but when I’m on my period I can’t think straight or even speak properly so that was a whole mess....


when ever a girl uses the bathroom during their period, it's like the shining in a toilet

@lizzie the witch I always 'accidently' hit the dryer thing and then quickly change it

It's a nightmare in school cuz you wanna be quick when you're changing a pad but like the school toilets are not ideal and it's so stressful cuz you have to also try not to make noises with the pad wrapper and stuff, it's a full on ordeal hahah


I started mine this morning and it’s kinda hilarious because we literally had our talk about periods yesterday in science and then this morning I was like “HOLY SHIT IM A WOMAN” but now I’ve come home from school after the second lessen like “eNd tHe pAiN” so rip me

Oml I'm not the only one😂 we started learning about the menstrual cycle in biology a few days ago (our most recent lesson) and I just started today (thankfully at the weekend). I'm kinda glad cause I feel like everyone in my class had already started so I didn't want to be the lil young kid who had no idea what it was like cause I felt like I'd be expected to know 😂


are we not going to talk about the fact dodie has a folder called "my poor body" cause honestly, same


3:53 the folder is named "my poor body" cannot stop laughing😂😂😂


I have really bad cramps right now and they won't go awayyy
I feel like I'm going to be sick
I've tried paracetamol, ibuprofen and a heated thing BUT IT WONT STOP HELP MEEE

Little_Pixie_  if you can, take acetaminophen (Tylenol). I personally can’t take Ibuprofen, and it also doesn’t really work for me. Also, constant heat and (dark) chocolate help!

Little_Pixie_ I don’t know if you still need help but try dark chocolate

Cat? I feel a cat would help. Just to watch it. OR IF IT CHOOSES YOU AND FALLS ASLEEP ON YOUR LEGS THAT WOULD BE NICE MAYBE

I JUST SAW UR COMMENTS IN ABOUT FOUR OTHER DODIE VIDS and I’m like I KNOW HER  i really hope u feel better tho 😊

Magnesium supplements. It'll help all your involuntary muscles to function better, including the ones in your uterus.

If you take a long sock and fill it with rice and tie the end then when you need it heat it up in the microwave for around 1 Minute

Little_Pixie_ eat chocolate it actually does help with cramps

Little_Pixie_ I don't have tips for cramps (other than eating. For some reason, it helps me), but don't use ibuprofen, it thins your blood which makes you bleed more. Just a warning

Little_Pixie_ try some dry ginger biscuits. ginger helps nausea and when thats calmed down. working out helps w cramps

Little_Pixie_ try a little pill called ponstan. It’s an off the shelf medication. It’s pretty amazing

Little_Pixie_ I had this and I went to the doctor who pescribed me a really strong pain killer that you take on your period called Tranematic Acid and this helps A LOT!

hey there's a special type of pain killer just for period cramps, it's called Naprogesic

PastelPolarBear I acc do this too😂😂. Sometimes it acc works😆

Little_Pixie_ ahh, get some chocolate cookies/ cake🌚. Honestly that is my life saver on my time.

I’m late, but next time try taking a really warm bath (not too hot so that it’s uncomfortable) and just listen to music.

Little_Pixie_ I know this was a long time ago but you should try Advil it helps with cramps plus it also helps with headaches :))

dont drink cold drinks and take a sleep it works for me

Little_Pixie_  Try Voltaren. It works for me! But some times I’m crying and dying and bleeding everywhere and then the next month it will be so light I can use those tiny tampons that I swear are made for fetuses. It is so strange. Anyways I also use Clue that dodie uses.

K tmi byeee

I have the same problem I told my doctor about and he prescribed some medication painkillers

I'm prescribed ponstan - you take it for the 3 days before you are scheduled to start and it works pretty well, also codeine-based drugs :)

Little_Pixie_ try heating a water bottle up and placing it near your ovaries and laying on your stomach.


Having an intense fear of blood makes the whole period experience 100% worse😭

I don’t mind blood but that must make it so much worse

It's torture. I was shaving down there and accidentally cut my poor vagina (today) and every time I use the bathroom, I see a bunch of  blood on my pad and my hands start shaking a lot and I can't breath too well ;;

Oml that must be terrible! I don't have a fear of blood, but I hate seeing it every time I'm on my period and I go to the toilet...


i got my period when i was 10 and because no one ever told me the blood has a possibility of being brown so i actually thought i was dying so when i got home from school (oh yeah i was at school when it started) i told my mom i needed to talk to her and told her what was happening as i was bawling my eyes out and my mom was just like "oh...you've just your period" aahh good times

john trainor that happened to means I didn't even really think it was my period. I thought about it but I was just like "nah this can't be it" WELL NOPE I WAS WRONG


LOL LMAO. Yes!! I would watch that on repeat. 😂😂😂

“hi, I’m dodie!”
“here’s some facts about me.”
“6:48”

Lucas D YEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS I WANT IT ON REPEAT

Lucas D I mean Dan Howell's starts with 'SEX!' so it should be alright😂😂 Dodie reminds me of Dan sometimes too xD


im a trans guy (pre everything) and seeing other people - cis or not - talking openly about this kinda stuff makes me rlly hap x

i hope any surgeries/transitioning goes well!!!

mills oof I hope that you're doing ok. Remember that having a period doesn't make you any less masculine!! 💞


The first time I got my period I woke up and I called my mom into the bathroom and the first thing I said was “well I can get pregnant now”

I still don’t know why I said that. Like I’m not interested in sex yet and I haven’t had sex yet but it was just my first thought 😂

MinosaurChicken Isn'tASpy I thought something similar when I first got mine lol.not into sex yet either lol


when she described what period pain feels like - that's what I'm currently feeling 😑

Little_Pixie_ I haven’t gotten mine yet. I’m nervous 😭


I get SO EXCITED when big youtubers use their platforms to talk about periods. There's such an unnecessary stigma surrounding periods and I'm bloody sick of it. Your experience was really interesting! A lot of people probably have similar experiences and don't know wtf is happening, so this is great.

I don't know if it's your thing, but I make monthly vlogs called "Week in the Life of a Period" to tackle the stigma and I'd be SO interested to see a week in the life of yours! Great video, well done! 👏

I'm so stoked that you watch Dodie, too!!

Hahahaha bloody sick I see what you did there XD

Erin Safiya Nygaard is awesome, she does period product tests every month

Jamesy Bumholes literally how old are you

Erin "bloody sick of it" that lowkey pun tho

Erin I have to; "bloody sick of it"

Literally.

Erin 'bloody sick of it' ha ha. I don't even know if that was pun intended. lol


"So lucy is in her fertile window, good to know"


When I’m on the first two days of my period, it feels like someone is taking a stick and using it to mix and tangle around my insides. It’s great


I actually love my period.

I have cramps like 1- 2 times and they're WEAK.  Like you barely feel them. I like that it doesn't keep me from doing things. Sure i get moodswings and sometimes i'm in the "fuck everything" mode but that's like 1 day out of 4-5. Also i get very sporty and happy when i'm on my period so....

Yay?

I hate you you’re so lucky my periods used to be a whole week and so painful that I would sometimes have to miss school that I had to go on the pill to help with the pains and length it also made me moody for two weeks and I would wash my hair at night and it would be greasy the next morning it was horrible and it’s still quite crappy now but a lot better

So I have no cramps but everyday I end up in tears...? About... everything..?

Same but like thankfully I’m almost done

I’m probably the luckiest girl ever. When I’m on my period, it’s basically nothing. I never get cramps, pain, and all the sad things that happen.

sadeyedphil Midol, aspirin, period aspirin (yes there is that shit), AND HEATUNG PADS

PS avoid people and friend cause you may lose em'

sadeyedphil sounds like it's gonna be real fun for me, I'm apparently meant to get it any time now

Does it actually hurt a lot. Cause I've been having my period for two years but it never hurts. I don't have the "normal" symptoms as everyone else. The only "symptom" I get is that I bleed. Is that normal?

sadeyedphil I SEND YOU HUGS MY DEAR FRIEND

sadeyedphil IM ON MINE TOO IM DEAD INSIDE FUUUU

sadeyedphil I'm on it cramps are an ass rn 😩

I'm going to be on the  heaviest day of my period tomorrow and It's my birthday tomorrow life is sad

SAME<br>Just got it like 2 hours ago, and i have to go to work tomorrow ;-; i may not survive

A̵̖̕n̴̩̐c̷͔͗i̵̭͊e̴̲̓n̵̘̓t̷̼̉

FizzyNightShade how did I only just see this, you are a lifesaver 💜

sadeyedphil I have a few tips to end the pain.
1. Apply heat to your abdomen AND YOUR BACK. I was surprised at how much of the pain spreads to my back during my period.
2. Take some Midol.
3. Drink some chamomile tea with a bit of honey.
4. Nibble on some dark chocolate. The magnesium will curb your appetite a bit and should help the cramps.
5. Watch some Netflix or your favorite YouTube videos to distract from the pain while you chill in bed.


I got my period when I was about 15, and ever since then it's been really irregular... I went a whole year without getting it, and saw a doctor , but they didn't want to do anything immediate as I'm only 17. Thankfully it came again, but that was back in March, and so now it's coming on four months since my last period, now my doctor is considering putting me on the pill to try and regulate them (at least, I think that's what she said!) It's not something she'd recommend usually, but as I'm almost 18, I really should be having periods more often... I have to mention that I am naturally small and slight; I'm 5"3 and have a small frame, and I exercise a lot, I've recently really been into working out. I know that can affect periods, but it's beginning to worry me now! Anyone experiencing the same thing? Eek

I read in a book that woman who exercise a lot skip a lot of periods. That might be happening?

Yes, the same thing happened to me last year. I hadn’t had my period for a year so I went to the doctors and they said the pill would regulate it. I started the pill and it made me feel extremely irritated and depressed ALL the time so we had to lower the dosage. Now with my new prescription things are better but it really is such a hassle to have these problems. Even tho people complain I’d much rather get my period every month like most people. Hope things are better for you now!


I got my first period on the 1.1.2014. It was like: "Welcome to 2014. You're a WOMAN now!"<br>I was 11 turning 12 at that point and I was really embarassed. I didn't tell my mom, because I couldn't get myself to do it. I ended up telling my mom at my next period, and I felt weird, but it was okay.

When I first clicked on this video I thought it said "I vlogged from my vagina every month" and I was so confused

well she technically did in the past didn’t she?


Recently I was on a period. I wasn't wearing a very thick pad because it wasn't that heavy, but in the middle of my science class I could feel the blood coming out of my vagina. multiple times . My friend gave me a pad. I owe her my life.

I like clue, but my period is so violently irregular that it can't ever predict correctly.... sometimes it's a 43 day cycle with ten days of heavy bleeding and pain, sometimes it's a 32 day cycle, couple days of bleeding and just chill. I'm having a great time.

Lifeisconfuzzilifying This week it came 6 days earlier. 6 DAYS WTFFF

Lifeisconfuzzilifying use Flo instead bc you can edit period dates

Lifeisconfuzzilifying i have mine literally every 14 days. for 8 day. TWICE A MONTH FOR 8 DAYS.

Lifeisconfuzzilifying same man. I've been bleeding for like 3-4 years now? And I'm still SUPER irregular

man cheeto mine went MIA for about a year as well! It came back, but now it's been gone again for almost four months... I'm only 17, and small and active, but it's still kinda worrying!

Lifeisconfuzzilifying I can relate, the longest ive went was 4 almost 5 months straight on my period and ended up anemic so I had to take birth control along with iron pills 😓 I got my period when I was 10 and I'm 18 now and it's such an irregular mess of going months without it then months or a few days with it. it's always such a lovely mystery of "when is my period coming and how long will it last?!" 😧

Lifeisconfuzzilifying OMF YOU'RE ON YOUR PERIOD BASICALLY THE WHOLE YEAR

oh christ. thats way too ling and horrible to be on it ;-; i only have it for about 8 ish days, but my cramps are fucking horrible. i just move or breathe and it sets off.

Lots of people I assume. Mine were always about 4 days when I had them, sometimes 5.

Lifeisconfuzzilifying I like period tracker but it automatically predicts periods as four days long! Who has a four day period?

I am too.I have it so irregularly that when it comes,it scares me.<br>even tho it shouldn't.thb its just stupid:")

I am too.I have it so irregularly that when it comes,it scares me.
even tho it shouldn't.thb its just stupid:")

Mine are really irregular, had only one period in 2017 and last year around exam time I missed it for 4 months, but the doctor said my hormones all look fine and there wasn't anything wrong apparently

Lifeisconfuzzilifying Same. I've had my period for over 2 years which is by then should have already been regular, but mine wasn't. At one point I didn't have my period for about 7 months. I went to the doctor ,and got some blood work, got diagnosed for something I can't remember, probably what everyone else is saying, they gave me some pills, finally got my period again, and has been somewhat regular since then. Its still too early or late sometimes. Like rn but is 5 days late, but its getting there.

Sounds like my washing machine playing up again.

I mean same here. I have PCOS, started my period over 10 years ago and  this cycle has been 140 odd days. I love the idea of Clue, it just doesn't do that much for me

Lifeisconfuzzilifying You should speak to a gum clinic or gp if you havent. They can be very helpful with these things. Taking the pill even if you're not sexually active can really regulate your periods well (but make sure you research side effects and make a good informed choice for yourself). I like sexual health clinics a lot, they're experts with this stuff and see it on the daily unlike many gps  (the gp I ask for is one who happened to study gynocology so it's useful) but I really rate a clinic. You can do a walk in day and just be seen by anyone there and talk about contraception and your cycles and they will offer you lots of advice and options all confidentially with any luck.<br>You don't have to be stuck with that pain  hopefully :)

Lifeisconfuzzilifying same, isn't it wonderful?

Lifeisconfuzzilifying sounds awful...was similar for me till I started birth control (also the reason why I started birth control). I don't wanna recommend it to you because it is a choice you nees to make with a doctor but it is an option.

it's normal to be irregular like that for the first couple of years you get your period. I think mine was finally regular after like 5 years

im 15 and my period is so irregular the longest i missed it for was 6 months like wtf xD im guessing im not getting my period this month because im late like 2 weeks. Usually my period is heavy but last time i had it it wasnt so im so confused lmao

Lifeisconfuzzilifying omg I've never related more. I'm so irregular and heavy I was on my period once FOR THREE WEEKS I was like WTF and I was like 12 I was so confused. Also I'm usually on for longer that 7-8 days and I go through so many period pads like my mum literally has to buy at least 3 packs of twin packs to last me. UrgHHH

Sameeeee all of my friends had Clue so I got it but I'm so irregular that thee's no use

Lifeisconfuzzilifying Me too. It's annoying af xD

You should talk to your doctor about that! Just in case there might be something they could do to help regulate it.

thank god I'm not the only one, sometimes it just suddenly starts out of nowhere like 2 weeks early

mine is super irregular... i first got mine 3-4 years ago and i can only recall it being consistent for 2 or 3 months maybe twice? i saw a gp about it (at the time it had been almost a year since having my last period) but he sort of just told me that it's normal. i suppose it's normal... but almost a year? what's your experience like with periods? this sort of inconsistency worries me

same for me, took a year but I got diagnosed with PCOS, perhaps that may be causing it, its surprisingly common!

mine was super irregular and inconsistent and it turned out I had PCOS; the docs tested me for endometriosis too. Could be worth discussing with your GP!


thank you for talking about this, lovely lady. I'm 36 now and wasn't treated until my 20s and had several d and cs and a hysteroscopy and still being treated now. it's a natural thing and not enough support is out there, so thank you! also... clue rocks 😁


ahhh i relate to the pains and the mood swings prior to😂😂 thank you dodie i really enjoyed this💚💚


Also I cannot stress enough how important a healthy diet and EXERCISE are when it comes to periods. When I'm not eating well and not exercising, my periods get heavier and longer and more painful. I went vegan like 3 years ago and giving up dairy made a WORLD of difference (although it was slow at first) now it's like someone turned the intensity on my entire period (PMS cramps mood everything) down like 50 notches. But the important thing is to just eat clean :) (and maybe limit dairy closer to your period). As for exercising, I started lifting weights and doing yoga about a year ago and my period got lighter and shorter omg.

Ariel Leigh - I know this is true (i think it's scientifically proven or something) but for me i never exercise and I eat fairly unhealthy (i am a vegetarian though) but my periods are still light

My mind keeps telling me how important it is to be healthy and exercise (which I do normally anyway) but whenever I'm about to start my period, I'm just like 'fuck this I'm just going to starve  myself but gimme this bag of chips first.' Then I just start thinking about how terrible periods are and that I would rather die than do it again. I get so fricking depressed and suicidal but I never try (too hard) to kill myself because I realise that I've got shit to do and a life ahead of me. Even though I honestly don't believe that there's a road in front of me, I just go on and make on for myself( 'cause who tf else is gonna do it?). I put those big organ traffic cones behind me because I don't think that it's okay to follow other peoples' steps and also because I don't know where tf I'm going and I don't need anyone thinking I'm a leader.


Shoutout to my fellow trans guys and nb peeps that have periods ♥ you're amazing and valid, I'm so proud of you. You've got this dude.

pickleinthejar oh dude, i just now saw your comment. Thanks so much, you're so sweet lmao

Tazim Khan calm down, this is getting out of hand. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. You need to respect that. It seems that the people that are 'non-binary' are the only ones here that won't respect that

+TonyIsUnknown your name should be TonyIsCool because you're pretty cool for that.

Tazim Khan wow chill out, you need to actually calm down, everyone here is being calm it doesn't need to turn into a big fight

Aww Thank you so much thats so sweet!<br>(im nb btw)

Aww Thank you so much thats so sweet!
(im nb btw)

What I don't understand about this whole argument is that just because you feel less masculine one day, that doesn't mean you're suddenly a different gender? Its very odd that people want to label themselves based on how consistently they feel like boy or girl. Are people forgetting that tomboys exist? Are they suddenly non binary because they don't feel feminine despite being a girl? I think that all these labels is actually a hindrance and less of a progressive movement. Its made things so complicated, made people more sensitive, and it creates a person who relies soley on their "label" to be different.

I do respect it and I will always respect it and how other people feel with their own bodies. I just don't see why people have to argue over 'denying' opinions. I don't understand what other gender there could be. If you're not male/female, then what exactly are you

Oliver Zaifnejad yes i believe it is! there are no gendered terms/language in it as far as i could tell (just went in and checked it so i could reply) and the icons are nearly all neutral (stick figures or nonhuman icons to represent things like moods and activities).

TonyIsUnknown I couldn't agree more, if you don't believe in them that your opinion, not denying someone's existence. I personally believe there are only two genders and tbh I get attacked on some social medias for it but you're literally so smart and can back up all of your points, I have major respect for you

Oliver Zaifnejad Yes!! I have a trans friend and demiboy friend who both use it!

Glassdemon this was very needed, thanks for this :-)

definitelynotabby You do realize that dysphoria is a mental illness though, right? It's a medically diagnosable condition

definitelynotabby Thank you for explaining so fast and kindly :).

Lizzay I get dysphoric like many trans people, I feel that I'm too feminine or masculine. particularly if I'm feeling masc I get dysphoric about boobs/periods/being seen as female. but also I like to wear dresses and makeup when I'm feeling femme and I get dysphoric about my masculine body shape etc. I express my gender by wearing what I want and exploring my personal relationship with gendered clothing and products, which is easier for me as someone afab than for most amab nonbinary people.

definitelynotabby Could you explain what you do to express your non binary-ness?? (I'm not sure how to word it please don't get offended) Do you know what qualities define a person who identifies as non binary? What does your dysphoria feel like? I'm asking because I do not know and would like to understand why people identify as non binary, if you don't feel comfortable, you don't have to answer them. :)

TonyIsUnknown that's literally ridiculous lmfao. that's like being 'im not bi so idk if bi people are real ://////////' or 'i don't get migraines so I don't believe that anyone does 😶😶'

definitelynotabby You exist. Your gender identity however... not so sure.

definitelynotabby Oh, please. You can't dictate opinions.

Btw, she's an unhelpful cis ally to you just because she happened to disagree? You're all protective over your gender identity but when someone disagrees with you, they're unhelpful and not good enough? Get over yourself.

Milo the Merciful Of course it's not for me to decide whether something exists or not. You can identify as whatever you want, but the way I see it, there's only two genders. If my opinion offends you, I'm sorry, but I can express my opinion if I want to. Don't forget that you can express yourself anyway you like, and I have no problem with that

TonyIsUnknown did you know that its not up to you to decide if non binary genders exist or not? The fact that people can be neither men or women is not something you may ignore/choose to not believe in. You are being super rude to all non-binary peeps out there when you express yourself in this way. We are not talking about some sort of mythical creature here, we are talking about actual, real human beings.

Although i dont believe in non binary genders, this comment is cool and it made me happy

Don't worry Milo it wasn't really you, it was that DarknessPiee who gave a really shitty answer and I couldn't tell if they were joking or not. But thanks for the mature response and to help me understand a little better :3

Hopefully I'm going on the pill soon which can stop them! I'm so happy

Coraline Woods Oh im sorry, i wasnt trying to be mean or condescending. sorry if it sounded like that. I just meant that some trans people get their period biologically and some don't. Some people do take hormones which often stops the cycle, but you can't take hormones in order to get your period if you didnt have a uterus at birth. However, some people choose to simulate a period in order to deal with body dysphoria.

you cant get hormone blockers or testosterone (at least where i live) until ur 16 years old. you cant get bottom surgery until ur 18 years old. some trans teenagers dont have supportive parents, meaning they wont have access to these things until they are independent. trans men are born with vaginas. vaginas bleed. trans men who are younger then 16, or cant access the medications, will get periods.

Literally only on YouTube and Tumblr you get these sort of responses. Like I asked a serious question. Do they get surgery done or what?

Coraline Woods Most trans people DONT want periods

Hi dodie. Just happily clicking around on recommends tonight and started watching this oldie, and I had the thought..have you ever considered that your dissociation might, in part, be due to the amount of prescribed drugs that you were taking during that time? IIRC, you say somewhere else that it had to do with your brain shutting down due to your toxic relationship. Yet in this video you mention taking drugs off and on that drastically affected your emotions etc. I can't help but wonder if perhaps that had something to do with it? If I overstepped here I'm sorry. Just thought I'd share in case it might be helpful. xx


Thank you for being so open and honest about your period, Dodie. There are so many people who think it's something to keep hush-hush and that no one can know you have it right now
Every woman goes through it! Also, men need to understand it more - to understand us more. So i believe it should be shared when necessary.
Kudos!

This was the first notification I got from her so now I’m realizing it’s been two years since I’ve discovered dodie xx


6:49 ahhh dodie that literally just made me so happy, when i first put i pad on i walking walking around like “don’t mind me just have blood coming out of my vagina on to a fucking vagina bandaid”


I feel like I'm one of the only people who prefers pads to tampons. I mean, I have a pretty heavy flow, so I feel like I just get too paranoid with tampons that they're going to leak (plus I've always had trouble actually getting them in lol). People who don't wear pads as much always complain that it feels disgusting, but I'm used to it by now so it's not as bad for me. Or is that just me??

Jillian Unrau nah i gotchu, i hate tampons. i hate them. i only need them when my uterus desires to be a dick head and bleeds right when i'm going on vacation and want to swim :) but yes, i think pads are a lot less bothersome or worrisome. idk everyone's different

Jillian Unrau tampons hurt me so much and my mom is the same so I think it's a genetic thing for me

Jillian Unrau tampons hurt me so much and my mom is the same so I think it's a genetic thing for me

Jillian Unrau I have a really heavy flow too, but I reckon there's more of a chance of leaking with just a pad. If you want, I usually use a tampon AND a small pad for little flow to catch the leak, it really works

Jillian Unrau // i prefer them too! i'm horrified of forgetting about a tampon in so using a pad is just a lot easier for me

same, when i started the thought of tampons freaked me out so i always just used pads lol

same, when i started the thought of tampons freaked me out so i always just used pads lol

Jillian Unrau it does feel pretty gross but I've become used to it and it doesn't feel as bad if you sit in a certain way or if you walk around.

I don't want to shove something up me! Pads are just more comfy for me

I agree! The only bad thing about them is the pad wedgie which isn't too bad. (Lol that was tmi)

see, right as soon as I started my period, I was 13. And to add on to that, the first thing I used was a tampon ._. it didn't work that great. I tried them the whole week, and they leaked. so the next month, my mom went to the store and bought pads. at first, I couldn't stand them, now it just makes me calm a bit, because it makes me feel like the coast is clear. when I wore tampons, every time I went to the bathroom, I checked to see if it leaked, and it always did. even with a super plus. -_- with pads, I don't worry about that problem. so they make me feel "safe" and comfortable. so, you are not the only one. after the first few months, they are ok. cuz then you would have been through two or three weeks worth of it.

don't worry, my grandma has had her period for 63 years and in those 63 years she has never used a tampon, she hates them so much

Jillian Unrau also tampons were proven to make your flow worse because it traps all the blood so you end up having a heavier flow

I'm team pads, mostly bc tampons aren't exactly popular where I live in. Idk if it's a weird superstition or not, but I don't really care. I've always wanted to try a menstrual cup though (which, unfortunately, is also not as popular here)

Jillian Unrau team pads, I just don't have the guts to wear a tampon. I find pads to work just fine for me :)

I just prefer pads because I have EXTREMELY bad cramps like I feel like I'm getting stabbed 47 times and using a tampon makes want to kill myself, I don't think I have to explain myself on why.

Briana Rodriguez that happens with regular tampons for me. You just need a size up—it's really no different.

Jillian Unrau I was so afraid to use tampons but I had to get over it because I got it exactly a cycle before I was supposed to go to Florida. If you're worried about leaking, wear a pantie liner. If you're worried about TSS, remember to change more often than 8 hours. If you're heavy, than you'll be able to tell if it's full.

i use pads cause 1. i have a heavy flow and 2. in terrified of toxic shock syndrome

Jillian Unrau nah I'm the same! I have a really bad phobia of blood, and I also get really paranoid about using tampons! I can understand why people think they're disgusting as they can smell sometimes, but I prefer them so much more than tampons!

Jillian Unrau same tbh tampons kinda freak me out 😂

im kinda tight down there (not in like a sexual way) so getting a tampon in is a really big problem so pads are a LOT more comfortable for me

me too about the leaking thing. my flows are occasionally so heavy that i need to wear both a tampon AND a pad because i'll bleed through the tampon in only 2 hours or so, and i can always feel them even when they're in the right spot.

I'm very anxious about putting stuff 'up there' and pads just make me feel secure.

#TeamPads ! Nah, but seriously, I much prefer pads as I am quiet heavy and very irregular too and I don't like there thought of there just being some weird thing sitting in my vag xD

I have only ever used pads for the past 8 years

I have only ever used pads for the past 8 years

Jillian Unrau for some reason I've never been able to make tampons work right. Like they vaguely hurt when they're in and pulling them out is always hell even when they're soaked. Idk I only wear tampons when I'm swimming and even then sometimes I just sit by the pool in a bikini top and shorts bc I like pads so much better.

I have a heavy flow too, but I use tampons and I just always wear a panty liner or a very thin pad along with it on the heavier days.

Girl, you are NOT alone. No matter what anyone says, I'll always prefer pads to tampons. So much more comfortable and maybe I'm gross but I don't mind "sitting in that." Always Infinity pads are life

I also am a pads only girl! Never tried tampons, and I doubt I ever will- the idea of it doesn't appeal to me, plus my period is usually pretty heavy the first couple days (I have to get up and change between 1-3 times the first night or two) so it also makes more sense to just use pads.

the main reason I wear pads is because the idea of changing a tampon in public is too gross for me like my hands aren't clean at any point in this process lol<br>tbh that means I'll probably try a menstrual cup at some point tho

I always used pads as well, because I didn't like tampons. They never really worked for me.
I still felt disgusting though.
now I use my menstrual cup most of the time and it's heaven. the whole experience became less terrible.😃

Jillian Unrau pads are much more comfortable and less messy tbh

Jillian Unrau Same. iv never really tried tampons. I might soon one day but I'm comfortable with pads right now and most likely will be for a while. I guess I'll see.

I agree. I like pads and I'm honestly a lil scared of tampons. People say they're uncomfortable and stuff but I dont agree

Same here. I find pads more comfortable and easier to use than tampons. Plus I find pads easier to change than tampons.

here in the philippines almost all people who have periods use pads, hell a lot of people don't even know what a tampon is. it's still kind of taboo, and i dont even know why. it happens to half of the population

Skyler Dumas same honestly like pads have just always worked better for me

Skyler Dumas same honestly like pads have just always worked better for me

Jillian Unrau me too!!! I prefer pads, but my period is never really heavy only really on the first day. But yes my friends say its weird and must be gross but i am used to it!

Jillian Unrau totally the thought of using tampons actually disgusts me so I only use pads, and I think they're way more comfortable lol

Jillian Unrau same. I don't know I just don't like the idea of tampons and I have never gotten them to work for me. When people ask me why I don't just use tampons: "Um no. Im not just gonna stick a cork in it. 😂 Jk lol but seriously."

Nah, I agree. I've always worn pads and it never feels "disgusting" or anything like that. I guess i'm just used to them...


I don't understand y puberty is like heaven for guys but for girls were just a bunch of of aching bleeding tubes.

I'm uncomfortable by my own comment

@Chelsea Carhart yep, doesn't make it heaven for boys

@Will Herondale aaaa I spy a shadowhunters fan.

@Will Herondale well girls also get like have of though's things PLUS their periods

Heaven for boys? Acne, inconsistent hair growth, wet dreams, BO, anger and mood swings, random boners and voice breaks may not be as bad as periods but they're not exactly fun either


Once my mum accidentally gave me her norethisterone she mixed it up with the medicine she got for my period pains. So to begin with nothing happened when I used it during my periods, for like 2 months, but then it started to make me really faint and give me even worse cramps when I took it. I ended up fainting at school so I went to the doctor and she was like, "that isn't for period pains, love" Sooooo... yeah, just remember to check which medicine you're taking when you take it so that you don't end up like me.


Hi Dodie, I really love this video! I just downloaded Clue because of this :D I'm on the Pill right now, I'm 19 but I've had my period since I was 9 (yes, really) so I'm pretty damn used to it. It's been regular since then, so that's like... 100 or something really often not nice periods. Ouch. Anyway. I love how open you are, and I love that you use the cup too. I've recently bought one and I love it and I want to chat to my friends about it because they have crappy periods too but everyone gets really grossed out (???) despite them all having periods. I was wondering if you could do a video about stigma against periods or something like that? I feel like you'd have some great opinions on it. Anyway, I don't usually comment but you're such a huge inspiration to me & I love your videos! :D <3


woah, getting parents involvee? i didnt even tell my mum when i started, kept it quiet for like a year! i hate sharing that kinda stuff so nobody knew until swimming at school when i had to go off for it

Jenni Wall I told my mom right away and she freaked out as if I did something terrible. She didn't want me to grow up haha

Jenni Wall I had it a few times (but it was really light) but then when mine really started up I drafted a text to my mom and ACCIDENTALLY SENT IT AHHH but I'm glad that I did because I wouldn't have sent it otherwise, I was too anxious about it.

I hated it too. I waited 3 friggin days. The only reason I did was cause I though I was gonna die cause I thought I had like kidney failure or something xD


I really hate having my period not because it's super painful or difficult but because it reminds me that I'm a female no matter how I feel and as a trans boy that really really sucks.

Me also trans boy manly man manliest man BOOM PERIOD god damn it my body doesn't seem to agree

Andy Lyman i relate. I'm non-binary and my period brings on horrible bottom dysphoria that I don't usually have. Also it's hella painful and I get nauseous and it's all just sucky.

Jamesy Bumholes "copy your style"? Ok, don't know what you mean by that, my language and level of triggered-ness right now is very different from yours. Read my comment, I acknowledged that you calling us wonderful was ironic, sarcasm is a form of irony. English lessons! What kind of LGBTQ people are you talking to that ignore that mental health issues exist? If anything we're all very vocal about the mental toll having to tell people we are LGBTQ and and the mental toll people like you have on us. I also agree that just because people are younger doesn't mean they're stupid. People who choose to think that because someone is born a certain way and are different from them are uneducated.

Jamesy Bumholes It's not a great mindset to have if you think that older = wiser and younger = naive.

Some people younger than 25, may be more experienced than those who are older, due to different family backgrounds and influences growing up.

Humans was not supposed to be crossed out what the fudge YouTube

Jamesy Bumholes I love how you're so entitled to your manliness that you can't see for one second that any guy that can cry and is in touch with their emotions is ten times manlier than you'll ever be. I also love how you're saying that because we are supporting someone who feels they weren't born in the correct body that were missing a chromosome. I non-ironically love that you think we're a wonderful community, though.

Catherine C Don't call him your friend lmao. That'd be embarrassing to have such a bigoted friend. 😂 But other than that, very well said!

Jamesy Bumholes why would I hope you don't find me? It's not like some random jerk in the internet would actually scare me. Also it's been proven by many studies that the use of swear words when insulting is a result of low intelligence so I'm really not worried about you finding me.

Jamesy Bumholes Hey, are you Incapable of emotions then? Because it sure seems like it. A person is trying to say how they feel because other people may relate to it too. You have probably cried in your life and it's normal to cry. Think before you speak mate

Jamesy Bumholes Oh okay, so once you reach a specific age you're not capable of human emotion anymore?

Jamesy Bumholes Guys are allowed to feel emotion, they can't just 'man up' and forget about what's hurting them.

If humans could just 'man up' then nobody would cry and depression probably wouldn't even exist. You cannot just turn of an overpowering emotion like sadness by 'wiping your eyes', it doesn't work like that.

I'm actually on the brink of tears you guys thank you for all the support <b>hugs each of you</b>

I'm actually on the brink of tears you guys thank you for all the support *hugs each of you*

Don't take my word for it, but I heard that after you start T, you don't have periods anymore :p

If you identify as male, you're not female. No amount of bleeding can change that. ♥

Man I'm like positive a ton of other guys couldn't handle the pain of periods so you're manlier than all of them :P

if you feel like you are a boy, you are 100% a boy!! never forget! <3

Everyone who replied to this is very supportive and that makes me happy because the YouTube comments aren't the nicest place. Honestly I don't know any ways to help (sorry!) but I'm sure this all will get better for you! For the time being: having a period sucks and you have to be strong to get through it and the fact that you, as a male, are managing to get through it is amazing. Stay strong <3

Andy Lyman Do you even realise how badass of a man you are to go through that? Not many men will ever experience it so you are so strong just remember that next time you feel dysphoric

Andy Lyman I'm so grateful that there are people that understand me.

hey I know exactly what you're going through. beings a trans guy myself, not even close to starting my transition, periods are a pain in the ass. just know that one day both off us will be super manly men that can identify fully with their bodies.

Andy Lyman You are male, there is nobody who can say you aren't. They will try, but you know that whilst your body works as a females AT THE MOMENT, there will be a day, when you will prove them all wrong. You don't need to prove to yourself anything. You know you're male, and that's how it is. You aren't female, keep reminding yourself. Just, think of the day you're finally out, and getting the hormones and surgery, (if you want that kinda stuff) and think, that day isn't too far away. It can be way closer than you'll think. Sorry for the rant, I just believe trans people are so strong, and they're just like cis people. There's nothing different, other then they can be way stronger, for being born in the wrong body is very difficult, it's easy to tell.

you could try confincing them your period is to bad to function properly, not shure if they will fall for it, but that way you can still ask for the pill?

ella no sadly my parents aren't super accepting and I'm not old enough to get it myself

sorry you've gotta go though this, that must really suck :-( could you look into something such as the pill or an injection that stops your period?

Andy Lyman no matter what biologic characteristics you have you are not female!! you are a male through and through, and im so sorry your periods make you dysphoric! just remember that nothing can change the fact that you are a man

Andy Lyman hang in there dude. you have a friend in everyone here I'm sure, and I hope one day you feel truly comfortable with your body <3 x


The title of the video never fails me from rolling on the floor


my period came when i finished the video

thanks dodie

Saame , I came back to comment the same thing


It's so encouraging to me to hear that other young women have also experienced irregular periods over the age of 16. It really made me feel normal again.


I had my swim unit in gym class and it lasted six weeks. One of those weeks I started my period. I emailed my MALE gym teacher saying that I can't swim because it was that time of the month. He said that I could just put a tampon in. I emailed him back saying: I AM SORRY MR W BUT YOU ARE NOT A WOMAN I AM NOT GOING TO TORTURE MYSELF FOR A WEEK AT SCHOOL IN FRONT OF OTHERS!!!
