does anyone else have really heavy discharge? like it will actually be down my thighs and I have to wear a pad. its just really annoying cuz it gets pretty expensive having to keep buying pads for discharge and periods.

YES!!! Even when I'm not on my period I have to wear really thick pads.

As for the expense of buying pads: you could get reusable cotton pads. They're kind of expensive, but you only have to buy them once (or replace them when they wear out, but that's years from now). If you think it's gross for periods (as my mother does) you could just stick to using them for discharge. Might help you cut down on costs.

cosmic hyperventilation I suggest you two see a doctor. Discharge can be a lot sometimes but not down your thighs that might be unhealthy

YES!! AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT :(


Menstrual cups are legit the best shit ever. Like the learning curve is intense and people get grossed out when they first hear about them but after you get it down it means you only have to deal with your period twice a day and never have to think about it otherwise (if you don't have any cramps at the mo).

I also did really like clue but I feel like it really only makes sense to use it if your not on the pill.


Hey dodie, not really having anything to do with the video above, but is there any chance of your original songs coming on iTunes? I've seen the ones already on there, and love them, but I would love to see more!


I still haven't had mine and I'm semi terrified.


praying that I don't get my period before a special event

(This basically represents my life)

*praying that I don't get my period before a special event*

(This basically represents my life)


lmao im 13 and i still haven't had a period


do you bleed non stop when your on your period?


Yayyyy my periods the heaviest thing in the world... and I'm doing the 800 meters on sports day... everyone say a prayer for me pleaseeee


Yeet i love this subject, its so natural and should'nt be a tabu


I just finished mine BOI-O.

This might be weird but I always wearing a pad one day after just to make sure it is all gone and bitch won't surprise me anymore.


the way she says ibuprofen is so cute that is all


I get a maximum 5 day periods, no cramps or bloating, barely any cravings. Whoop whoop.


I get my period every 2 1/2 weeks, but I only just started, so my mom said it would go away but iDk mAnn


how do you go about cleaning ur menstrual cup in public bathrooms??

A water bottle to rinse the cup out and washed clean hands before you clean the cup is all you need. I really love my cup because it's environmental friendly and so easy to use!

The stuff above does make sense, however, you are able to wear it for up to 12 hours (Diva cups, at least), so you should be able to avoid changing it in public bathrooms.

You can keep it in for longer than tampons and pads, so you can insert it at the start of the day and empty it at the end of the day when you're home. There is no worry about toxic shock or leaking or anything like that. I have friends who just empty and wash it out in the shower, which might seem gross to some people but whatever.

Adding to this: BUT WASH YOUR HANDS FIRST please, and don't touch anything with the hand that's going to retrieve the cup.

:3 I heard from somewhere as the comment above mentioned, having a water bottle around is very handy. just rinse it out and it's all good

corinne you want to aim to find a toilet with a sink in it, other wise yea wipe it out, I usually have a bottle of water on me so I can give it a lil splash to make it easier to go back in and and tadaaa. It really is super manageable

my friend says if it's a stall with a sink she just uses the sink, but if not she gives it a lil wipe with some toilet roll and then whacks it back in lol!


I got my period for the first time 3 days ago. I'm 12.


My first period happened halfway through an eight hour flight to DC. F U N<br>So i had to put up with that whilst in America. Yaaaaay

*sigh* I started my first period yesterday and was so excited...I don't wanna do it anymore and I've only just woke up


I haven't had mine in about a year and I'm just now starting to worry


im I the only one who thinks we sneeze or cough more often than usual when on period and oh dear...


my period has been irregular for THREE YEARS YAY


I was on a school trip when I first got mine! There were no showers ...for 4 days! :))):')


I literally got half way through tgis video. Went to the bathroom. Wiped. BOOM. i got my period. Nice👌(jk). I txted my mam cause ive never had it before and she said "poor you. What a Christmas present. R u ok?" 😂😂😂😂 i nearly fied laughing


y!!ou should make a video on periods for people with mental illness maybe ? like "is this bc I'm hormonal or am I actually having a break down" "is this pms or is my medication having negative effects" <br>I think it would be super cool and helpful

I got mine when I was 17... I was beginning to think I didn't have a uterus.

geebitrin h I was 15 but until it came I was fairly sure it'd never happen and I just didn't have a womb


i damn wish i got my period at 14 i got mine when i was 10


I use clue too and it works really well even though my body is irregular af but I heard about it from miles chronicles


My GCSE exams run from 15 May to 16 June.
My period will run from 14-22 May and then 12-20 June.
I will have my period twice during my GCSE exams.
Please help.

I'll have one during the week with the most exams (3 in one day at one point ) then it'll appear again for prom and other parties :) :) :) :)

Claudia Hayes mine starts a day after a pool party I've been invited to... shit.

If you explain to an invigilator that you need a hot water bottle or heat pad, and allow them to inspect it first, they'll let you use those. I've had to do it before, it's a tad embarrassing but they're super nice about it

Claudia Hayes Tea, baths and chocolate! Wishing you the best my love you've got this ❤❤

Claudia Hayes I wish you the best of luck, I also have to do exams with two periods, I started literally right before my art exam yesterday.

Claudia Hayesy exams start on monday, but my period starts on the next Friday, but I'll be on exam leave for that period so I won't be at school for the majority of my period, only one day. But omg I do feel for you, almost every single mock exam I have done, I've been on my period for and it was horrible. 2 HOURS AND 15 MINUTES IN A MATHS EXAM AND I DIDN'T GO TO THE LOO 😫

Oh god that's horrible!! I'll have mine between the 30th of May to the 4th of June, which thankfully falls in the half term week so I'll have no GCSE exams during that time. I can feel like death at home, yay. I hope you don't get bad cramps though, but please take care of yourself during those weeks! Good luck in your exams by the way. :')

I understand your pain my lovely, I was sat in a master class today and I had to crouch in the corner with my head in my hands and a hot water bottle, cryyy

Claudia Hayes good luck;;; dont get blood on the ex chairs that would be The Worst

Fuck! My prom is on 30th June so I'll be safe by then hopefully, and I did two last year because Early Entries (aren't a thing any more apparently)! But I have 21 exams <b>dies</b>

Fuck! My prom is on 30th June so I'll be safe by then hopefully, and I did two last year because Early Entries (aren't a thing any more apparently)! But I have 21 exams *dies*

Claudia Hayes dude I'm on my period when I have prom and I have one during exams. good luck to you my fellow GCSE sufferer. ☺

Claudia Hayes I genuinely feel so sorry for you! My thoughts and prayers go to you, my friend 😂

Also paracetamol does FUCK ALL for me and I'm allergic to Ibuprofen. Again, please help.


ok dodie why is your story so similar to mine?


I got mine when I was 9 or 10.

I thought I was going to recoil into a ball and die~


ITS SO HARD BEING ON YOUR PERIOD ANNNNDDDDD BEING FTM TRANS OML HELP


I remember I went to the restroom and I wiped and I saw blood so I went to the nurses office (it was a dude) and I grabbed a pad and he was in a Lil office inside the big nurses offices and so he could know what I was doing I just grabbed a pad and showed it in his face yelling ITS FOR MY FEMININE NEEDS ITS THAT FEMININE MOTH AGAIN DONT JUDGE ME so yea ;-; I'm really heavy to and very irregular as well ;-;


Okay but, with a menstrual cup, when you're in a public restroom or something like that and you empty it, do you just wipe it with a tissue or do you have to wash it straight away?? I'd feel really uncomfortable carrying a bloody menstrual cup out and scrubbing it down in a sink in front of strangers. (Gross but NO ONE IVE TALKED TO EVER SAYS ANYTHING ABOUT IT HELP)

I've never had to change it in a public restroom, I've had mine for five years. <br>I empty it in the morning and when I get back home from work/school. But I imagine you could just bring a small water bottle with you or a cup of water to rinse it. Or go in one of the stalls with a sink.

Nah, wash your hands first, don't touch anything with the hand that's retrieving the cup, empty it in the toilet, rinse it with water (meaning, have a water bottle with you) or wipe it a bit with TP (careful not to leave any bits of paper), put it in, boom, no one knows. Also, depending on flow, you can have it in for as long as 12hs, so you may not even need to change it outside of your home. Good luck!

Thank you so much! Maybe I'll start using a menstrual cup now, that thought always made me really hesitant.

You can totally just wipe it out and put it back in and carry on. It won't hurt you and you don't have to face the embarrassment and awkwardness involved with rinsing it.


i got my period when i was 10. i think my body hates me.


I got my first period when I was 9 (almost 10)


Dodie: the first time I used a tampon my mum  gave me lip balm to lube u- <b>stops herself and moves on</b>

sees title "OMG, me too!" clicks video 😂

*sees title* "OMG, me too!" *clicks video* 😂


we have a synchronised period,I feel so close to you haha


my cramps are more like burning ? and mine lasts like eight to ten days


I WAS LIKE WAIT WHAT, BUT THEN I WAS LIKE OH ME TOO.


dodie saying ibuprofen is my new aesthetic


I-I-I- I got a migraine...<br>don't judge me😂😂

I-I-I- I got a migraine...
don't judge me😂😂


I got it when I was nInE ;-;. Also sometimes when I run a short way and I wasn't ready and it felt like someone was just stabbing me and I felt like any second I was gonna vomit. Worst experience ever.


period pain feels like people pulling ur hips apart by the sticky outy bone bit


my period starts for like 2 days literally is hell.
my stomache starts to literally KILL ITSELF and my hips widen and HURT LIKE HELL and most of the time i wake up looking like ive actually been stabbed.
the first 2 days are heavy-ish and i last for like 7 days.

its hell.


Plzzzz do a vid on menstrual cups, I have no idea anything about them but now I'm in intrigued! 😱 😱

Jamesy Bumholes what is your problem?? no one said anything offensive to you or anything offensive at all...

Jamesy Bumholes erm, whut she literally just what menstrual cups are

try safia from buzzfeed- shes got a ton of stuff on periods, its amazing

WhateverIsTrueASMR LOL SHOW US HOW TO USE IT

Aww thanks all for your suggestions! I will definitely check them out :D

WhateverIsTrueASMR  you should watch Hannah Witton's Hormone Diaries! She made a video on menstrual cups :)

WhateverIsTrueASMR you should check out precious stars pads, it's a ytb channel about period and everything and she talks a lot about the cup x

you should also watch stevie boebi's videos :D

Breanna Gratz yeah I've never heard of them before!

WhateverIsTrueASMR yes I agree, I always use tampons bc I hate pads, but I wanna know more about the cups

WhateverIsTrueASMR Hannah Witton did a really good video/series about them, worth a watch


I got my period on the morning of my grandma funeral.


I’m on my period right now... there’s a lot of blood and i’m running out of chocolate...help


The title got me so scared and then I realized I do too


I was 16 when I got it. I was kinda wishing it never came bc everyone was saying it was terrible


god I hate my period it hates me. I literally lose the ability to stand straight on my first day.


i started my period yesterday.... at a pool party.


I'm on my period right now, does your back hurt on day one?


I have and tried a menstrual cup and it wound up hurting me really badly, especially when it was time to take it out. I got the one in my size but it is an absolute struggle to insert and take out. Any advice?

KatieMarshie13 if you cut the stem off the cup that can help lots

Maybe you are allergic to the material of your cup. If it's just when you "insert" and "take it off", maybe try some lube or touch yourself, it can help. Otherwise, see a doctor sweety. (Sorry for my english, i'm french)

Precious Stars makes a lot of videos about menstrual cups, if you want to find more detailed info. If you had pain, I suspect you didn't fold it properly, it might not have been seated properly, or you pulled it out without releasing the suction first. Both could be painful. It's also like when you're first learning tampons, it's weird and uncomfortable at first, and you get the hang of it after a few tries. I was uncomfortable the first month or two, and after that it was great


say <b>vagina</b> in an austrailian accent, sounds funnier than it is & yeah all my friends started before me too

say *vagina* in an austrailian accent, sounds funnier than it is & yeah all my friends started before me too


I got mine today! Woooooo...😑 Like Dodie, I'm 14!


HA! I can't even remember the last time I had mine


I just finished my period too

does that mean we're in sync

uncle cordy I know that I was just joking lmao

Aurora Sparks no bc she filmed it like a week ago


How often do periods even happen? I thought it was like a monthly thing lmao what


3:52 i love what youve named your different folders 😂


ME AND DODIE FINISHED OUR PERIODS ON THE SAME DAY


I’m watching this now coz I just started my period


I'm really nervous because i dont get period cramps i bleed alot and it only lasts for 3 to 4 days...


Okay so we’re I live, they do the “maturation program” in 5th grade when you’re about 10. This is where they explain what a period is. I got my first period 2 weeks later. When I was 10. In elementary school.


is there different menstrual cup sizes? becouse the one i got doesent fit😝

Hannah Crawford I used to have problems with it too, but now I use lube and it doesn't hurt at all. Also, it takes a while to get skilled at putting it up there, so give it time :)

Hannah Crawford As above there are two different sizes. I thought mine wouldn't fit at first but I just take practice. Look up the seven fold - I found this way better than the fold suggested in the instructions. Use water or lube and push back towards your anus up when putting it in. Also make sure your jaw is relaxed - sounds weird but somehow tensing your jaw makes your vagina tense up too. It's also easier to try inserting it and taking it out when you're not on your period so you aren't worrying about bleeding everywhere. aIt took me about three or four cycles before I got used to it but I love it now and could never go back to tampons or pads.


i’m on my period atm and i feel like death


OH MY GOSH I DO TOO! Agjdvhtdvjk what's wrong with us?! I started when i was ten and possibly might have pcos. The doctors aren't sure. (Just so people know I'm kidding.)


I got my first period the day I had a jazz band concert so that was fun


I started summer holidays of 2017. They were sort of regular. But regular as in every 3 months! I like it that way but every day after my due date I have to wear a thin pad. This summer it was only a week late and it annoyed me now it's 2 weeks late and I'm hoping it will return to 3 months. Also March 2018 I was going to Italy on a school trip and was due that week. Normally I would be fine because I have my mum to help me but my periods are SO HEAVY I FILL A ULTRA THICK NIGHT PAD IN AN HOUR!!! so I went to the doctor and they gave me a pill called 'noris' something. Luckily I didn't need it as it came a week early and I was so relieved by not needing to swallow whole things.


unfortunately, you can get one only in the UK :D


You wanted yours? I dread the day it happens.


I actually watch this because of that intro lol


when it was my first time i didnt freak out lol the advantages of a shameless all girls school


I've had it before but UGH IVE STARTED TO DAY AGAIN being a girl isn't fun 😒


i havent gotten my period in a while so im going to the doctor to get birth control to regulate it. And for some reason I'm kinda scared even tho I know I shouldn't be. oh well

surprisingly I kinda want my period back. so hopefully everything goes smoothly, but is it really that fast and easy??

it literally made my life soo much easier, and even made my periods slightly lighter, it's a really exciting thing! all they do is check your blood pressure and wham bam


I got my period when I was 12, denied it, went to school and ruined my favorite pair of sweatpants <br>Like тWElvE YEAr Old ME, WнY dIdnт YOU ACCEpт тнAт YOU WErE вlEEdInG ғrOM YOUr vAGInA?!

i got my period when i was 8 or 9 and it was honestly probably the worst period i have and ever will get
i was in class on the last-ish day of school? i was in grade 4 at the time but i was in an “advanced class” so none of my friends were there (THANK GOD). although my friend’s crush was there, and being the little biTch i was, i tried to “seduce him?????”
and so it was reading time and me and him were sitting next to each other. i got up and there was stains all over the chair!! i thought i had an accident and i did NOT have the courage to walk to the bathroom with my bum facing the rest of the class. we were all supposed to sit ON THE FLOOR- which was going to be very bad.
of course i had to sit on the floor so i did but i sat faar away from the rest of the class so if there WAS stains left on the floor, no one would see. we spent an hour, maybe even 2, reading our books and it was time to get up. i had forgotten all about my “accident” so i got up and there was?? nothing on the floor?? which im still puzzled by. i wasnt reminded of it so i wasnt trying to hide the stains on my pants at all. no one said anything but I REGRET IT NOW
i got back to my chair and i got really scared, i almost cried BUT i didnt want to in front of my best friend’s crush.
i stayed in my chair the rest of the day! i got home and i was SO EMBARASSED, i refused to tell my parents. lmfao im an idiot i know- but i kept going to school for at least 2 days with no pads or tampons. i knew i needed them, i was just to embarassed to say anything
my parents (of course) do the laundry, so they found my pants and undergarments covered in the stuff and they gave me the talk
tbh i dont even remember what they said. just kinda shoved some pads in my face and told me to use them. didnt get any real info until about 6th grade (only 2 years ago :c) and poof now im here!!

agh im so sorry for the long comment but i wanted to contribute. love you!

with mentral cups, are they harder than tampons or?? is it like a super plus or???

and are they completely latex free??

i want get one but i dont know where or if i'll be able to do it?

thanks xxx

pepperwings yes haha I am aware of that, I was supposed to answer to the person with the latex allergy, I wasnt trying to say you were wrong :)

The cup is seriously so magical. People talk about how it sounds gross, but really, isn't a bleached cotton stick that is filled with absorbed blood a lot more gross? Haha. It's safer, it lasts longer, and so much cheaper in the long run! The first couple times I had it in was a little weird, but by the third time I was used to it. I highly recommend it for all girls!

pepperwings all the ones I've seen are latex free, :) there are a lot of diffferent types so if you arent sure or they can't garentee it to you, just look for another one :)

do you know if they are latex free? thats my only concern because i have a bad latex allergy...

Menstrual cups are made from medical grade silicone (they're available online, amazon, and Target and some other box/supermarket stores carry them now, and they tend to cost about $16-29) they last YEARS before needing to be replaced. They are a cup shape, and tend to be roughly 3" long, including the stem, it's all pretty soft, when it's in your body it's not very noticeable, and insertion/removal is only difficult the first few times.


I get migranes on my period ALL THE TIME


Drug... that STOPS a period... Ummmm yes please.


my mum keeps insisting on helping me put a tampon in and I'm like mum NO privacy but she keeps getting offended and we have fought over it before and idk what to do bc like I feel uncomfortable


I'm seeing all these people in the comments saying they got their periods at 11 or 12 and then I'm just here like HAHA I WAS 15 HELL YEAH (also I feel bad for you hope you're doing alright and that you're having a lovely day. Also to anyone who's a late bloomer, it's normal to not have it until you're 15 or 16 so if anyone is worried about that, there is a 99% chance that you're absolutely fine and normal and I promise you, you will regret wanting it so bad {if you do})

@rtaylor yep! You're fine. I thought the same thing before I got mine.

thank you so much skskskksk <br>im fourteen and pretty much all the girls i know have already started. i’ve been so scared for ages that there is something wrong with me and it’ll never come which is pretty dumb but at least i have a while left to wait before it becomes an issue that i don’t have it 😅

thank you so much skskskksk

I just started mine and I got my first one when I was 11 and we got the talk at school


IM 11 AND I STARTED AND I JUST LAUGHED WHEN I STARTED AND MY FRIENDS....BAWLING. MY MOTHER-               ded.


It was so weird Cause I had mine when I was 10 and my step sisters where like 11 or 12 and didn't have theirs yet and my sis had it when she was 13!!!


Wow thanks Dodie, I'm probley gonna get mine soon now

Maisie Zink im so lucky and i haven't bled through yet... bless

Ha, the first time I got mine I was at school and I almost screamed

Maisie Zink what sucked is when i first got my period that same week i was going swimming and had to use a tampon right away

Frens |-/ I only started my recently it's not really much to be terrified about as I'm a lucky bean. 😂 Of course everyones different. JUST YOU TWO WAIT. 😂😂


So i think I started my period when i was like 11-12. And I must be some gentic perfection or something because my period is never irregular, I feel no change in my mood and my friends don't notice any changes in my behavior. My cramps aren't anything terrible, i occasionally take ibuprofen for them but i can easily go without. It's about as normal as it could possibly be. I'm not complaining at all, just confused. :/

I AM CONFUSION. BODY WHY YOU SO PERFECT(not really but still)


ahhhhh I don't even know the last time I got my period I need help


honestly i hate my uterus cause mine likes to destroy me... blood everywhere.... AND I WAS CAMPING WHEN I GOT MY FIRST ONE HAHAHA


after my first period which was on a December I think it didn't come back till March and then after that (like from my second to third etc) it was total regular easily predictable


Dodie got hit by a truck after puberty. 😰


i started my period yesterday.... at a pool party. ffs.


*looks at my past * I got mine when I was 10


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.


Someone else has had my problems 😭😭😭 I'm not alone!


One of my friends got her period when she was 8


when your watching while having your period


This sounds so weird

But im a gay guy who actually likes talking about periods and stuff
Because every guy Ik is like Ew periods and im like fuck yeh periods woooooo


I haven't started my period yet, does it take longer for me because I'm a boy?


I’m acc relating sm rn😂. I just came off mine, I get sm cramps on the first few days and I lgt cant handle ppl😆😆😆❤


Which menstrual cup would you recommend? Preferrably for beginners? Plz help thx


i’m actually petrified or tampons and putting them in but ofc i got my period in the summer so i neeeeeedddd to learn how to use them! someone helppp😭


14!!! You lucky! I started when I was 11!


I LOVE PERIODS :))))))) I LOVE PASSING OUT ON CUSTOMERS AT WORK AND NOT BEING ABLE TO MOVE :))))


You started so late 😫 i started my period when I was 10 you’re so lucky


tmi but i just got my first period today and i’m watching this. bad idea lol. i hope i don’t have to go through this eek


Are menstrual cups messy? How do you clean them in public?

Also if you go into a public bathroom which has a sink, it's very possible to change it without being messy. It may need a bit of practice but I've got no trouble changing my cup in a bathroom while having my pants around my ankles xD And some people don't even need a sink, and use toilet paper and a watter bottle. Personally I like the comfort of having a sink around though, but a few times I've had to do without it and it was fine too

Yeah, I agree with the long named girl. See, you're able to wear it for up to 12 hours (Diva cups, at least), so you should usually be able to avoid changing it in public bathrooms.

The girl with the unexpectedly long name that has nothing to do with her profile pic Thanks! Sounds cool

i think you use one for the whole day and clean it when you get home


When you sit down for a while then you get up andddd 🌊


Im almost 13 and I havent started and im getting worried because idk I feel like idk im different for getting my period so late??? (Yes Im aware dodie said she started hers at 14 but im so paranoid 24/7 okay?)


Cramps feels like u really need to poo(diarrhea) but a bit lower and u can't relieve it by going to the bathroom mixed with being stabbed repeatedly


I HAVE IT NOW AND MY STOMACH PAINS ARE HORRIBLE I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO<br>IT HURTS SO BAD AHHHHJ

I HAVE IT NOW AND MY STOMACH PAINS ARE HORRIBLE I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO

I was eleven years old, and I went to the bathroom after the second hour or something
there was. so. much. blood.
my friend walked IN ON ME WHILE I WAS SITTING THERE, WITH ALL THE BLOOD COVERING THE TOILET
we both panicked, and had to get some teachers to help me :’)

I like the fact that a diva cup add came after I watched this video


I got mine when I was 10 (yep, that’s pretty early)


I take care of myself by eating BBQ chips until I pass out and then ignoring my pain and making it much worse :)


OH My GoD. I watched this and my period started a minute later...


how come i dont get period pains

anyone else?


I got my first period at a summer camp when i was 11


I dont want to jinx myself but my periods are pretty nice to me compared to my friends, I never really get cramps or headaches that much theyre never really heavy the worst I get is that I feel really sad or some shit a couple of days before


I have had my period for a year (4end-6i'm in 6th now) but I haven't had cramps yet is that normal?😊😅

Duhlayna omi thx I didn't really know if it was normal or not...!

Yeah, I don't really get cramps either, some people do. Periods are different for everyone and that's totally normal.


U bleed from there? Oh Ma goodness I had no idea!! Oh me oh my  😱 (I got my period at 11)  R.I.P


I'm 12 and I've had 1 period. And as of this upcoming Sunday, it will be 16 weeks. But I am not complaining. What do you wanna bet it's gonna jump in New York and be like
HEY GURL!!! Wazzup! I'm gonna chill here with you isn't that fun?
Me: Uh no I have to go see Niagra falls now bye.
5 minutes later, in the bathroom
Me: THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT!!!
After I vist Niagara falls, at the hotel
Period: smiles like the devil, walks over to me and raises it's eyebrows while holding a knife
Me: Please no. Not know I have to legit climb a small mountain in like an hour.
Period: Shrugs, proceeds to shank me 13 times in the uterus, and walks away to leave me in agony
I know I'm extra but thank you for reading my rant.

I use clue too!! Why does this make me proud??


Well I got my period like a few months ago and like only use pads because i'm very anxious about tampons. I am very naive and have no fuckin clue what's down there and anxious about shoving something in my body so like advice?

There several folds you can try to get the cup to go in easily, a lot of people try the "U-fold" where you just bend it in half, and that makes it too large to go in easily. Also, some cups are soft, which actually makes it a lot harder to work with, because they don't always open properly. Firmer cups pop open more easily, which is tough when you're learning to insert, but easier overall.

Photor 320 ey kid it's ok I'm 18 and I still only use pads

i think the most typical mistake is not putting it in far enough, that's when you can kinda feel it when you're walking and moving. try putting it in as far as you can, and at some point it should feel more comfortable (there's usually little illustrations on the packaging or a leaflet, check those out) and you shouldnt feel it at all when moving. Also, if tampons are new to you, start with small sizes and maybe lubricate them a bit with vaseline or something similar.

Photor 320 i tried wearing a tampoon but it kinda hurt i dont even know if i did it right anyone got a tip? Lmao

Photor 320 I've only just gotten used to tampons and I'm 18. It takes a few tries to get them right, and it feels weird at first (i know I was hyper aware that I had a tampon in) but over time you improve. You should probably get the tampons with plastic applicators (which aren't that good for the environment but they are easier to use that the cardboard applicators or the ones without) just for ease. It really is just a trial and error process though!

it's really hard the first time but the more you try, the easier it gets. I recommend using "mini" tampons to start and then move up to regular if you need to. Just read the packaging of the box and it'll tell you what size. Tampons are hard to use for everyone the first time. But very convenient after you get used to it.

Same.. I guess we just gotta wait till we're ready but what do I know (ed Sheehan reference lolol)

i LITERALLY fainted when i first tried to use a tampon. i was 14 and was in a public toilet at a camp. it was not a fun experience. i tried to use one again a year ago (i'm almost 18 now) but almost fainted again. i wanna try using menstrual cups but am scared. any advice?

it took me a solid day of staring at the pictures on the pack/internet to get that thing in there... I was like, no fuckin way is that the hole I'm supposed to put it in... but I kept trying and trying bc I was determined to make it work! And eventually did!!

I'm 19 and I've never used a tampon. I don't like the idea of tampons, what with the bleach and drying out your vagina and stuff. I'm trying to use a cup right now, but so far I'm literally unable to insert it. Basically just go with what feels right and keep exploring ^^

Photor 320 really, if you dont feel comfortable or dissociate from your body, the best advice is to not ignore it. idk if thats helpful to you but just being naked and looking at yourself and touching and exploring could help. also going slow and not pressuring yourself to do anything or put things anywhere, always do things like that at your own pace. listen to other people talking about stuff like that as well.<br>you could also go cold turkey if that's what works for you and just use a tampon or maybe a menstrual cup instead(they come in different sizes too and can be less messy!) but people already left advice for that above. good luck!

It's not <b>very</b> rare, and there are other problems with tampons. I totally agree with Dodie, menstrual cups are amazing, I wish I'd known about them earlier. (Cool side note, they can be left in almost the entire day without leaking with a regular flow, unlike tampons, and don't irritate your mucous membranes like tampons, and they're less messy than you expect, unlike tampons.)

Photor 320 don't think about it too much and when you put it in make sure you put it in as far as you can. It's not gonna get lost or anything, if you don't put it under enough it can be really uncomfortable. But yeah just take some deep breathes and keep trying till you get it :)

my advice is if youre really not sure use a mirror and figure out exactly where everything is
also sometimes ypu need to put it in at an angle but i assume its different for everyone so idk that might be something to experiment with
if you can feel it once its in , then its probably not far enough in. only the string should be sticking out
best of luck 🙂

i've had my period for 4 years and i still don't even know how to use a tampon

m'dude, I'm 20 now and I started using tampons a year into having my period and lemme just say they've saved my life basically, because I never have to worry about if I'm bleeding through a pad and I don't feel the normal blood leaking from vagina thingo. Basically just grab a tampon and use pictures to help you try and insert it. It's that simple, just change angles and stuff until the tampon goes in. I'm not gonna lie, the first time hurts a fair bit bc I think the hymen breaks? but after you've used them a few times its hurts less and less until like the 4th time where it's just A Okay. Also never ever worry about the string snapping off the tampon and it being stuck in you, I promise that never happens, ever. Also make sure that the tampon is in 5ish cms, otherwise you're gonna feel it and its uncomfortable. But once you start using them you just don't have to worry so :))

Photor 320 I would highly recommend using a menstrual cup instead. They're cheaper, reusable, easier to use, and don't carry the safety risks of a tampon. Plus, they're better for sports and swimming because there's no risk for leaking like there is with a tampon. It feels more comfortable and you can sleep in it. It does take a little practice, but you don't have to be on your period to practice because it doesn't hurt like a dry tampon. I have the meluna cup and I love it!

Photor 320 ME.TOO. my last period lasted 2 days and was very light. my period so far has bee very irregular and not on a schedule at all. um..it'll be ok? i dont use tampons and dont know if i will, im good with pads

Also, don't feel like you have to use tampons. I started to use them at 23, and mostly because I was curious, but before then I only used pads. Now I use a menstrual cup, it feels softer and never dries out your vag, and it's convenient in many ways.<br>My advice would be to educate yourself, to learn to explore and accept your body, to stay curious and ask questions (like you did here!). Then you can decide if you want to try. A great resource is the Sexplanations channel here, Dr. Lindsey Doe is awesome, I promise.

Thanks so much guys. I know the facts, i've seen the charts handed out in class i just personally fail to connect them with my body. I'll be sure to explore and use them when ready. I love this community so much because i am a very closed off person about my body and mental health yet here i am comfortable.

Thanks so much!

I started using them at 14, I was afraid too (I got my period early :C) it isn't as bad as you may think! I personally use both depending on how I feel. Don't feel pressured to use them ;)))

Photor 320 ehh, everyone has there preference. I have a SUPER HEAVY flow. I am not really comfortable with heavy tampons, so if I am using them, it is for water purposes only (I have a couple of tampon related horror stories due to my abnormal flow but that's just me) I actually have to use the thickest pad the are at the market (they are almost diapers I swear) but it's just what works for me. I am actually thinking about using a menstrual cup, because it seems like it would be best for me

also diagrams and instructional videos helped me out lol

don't worry about it!! i was like that too when i first started my period but my advice is do it when you feel you're ready! i got it when i was 9 and im 14 now and i use pads everyday on my period. i really only use tampons if i'm swimming and it works out fine for me. i still get a little scared but tampons with applicators are v helpful!

i was super nervous about them too!! they're very very easy to use though, and once they're in, you can't really feel them unless they're too big or something. they're made to be easy to use so don't worry ! just make sure you change it every few hours.

Photor 320 I got mine over a year ago and I still haven't tried tampons or diva cups. Don't feel too bad about it

i'm about to turn 18, started my period when i was 12 and i still don't use tampons! i just never did because i was scared of them, and now it's developed into an abnormal fear of my own reproductive system it's mental. i'd recommend having a go, building yourself up and doing it so you know it's something you can do! sounds weird as frig to say as a stranger on the internet but i've been told in the past in the bath to try and practice with your finger, just so you know the shape of your vagina. it's also supposedly much easier if you try when you're heavier, putting vaseline on the tampon to sort of lubricate it as well, propping one leg up on the bath or toilet is supposed to make the angle easier! finally, my mum is so sick of me not using them now she recommends just doing a shot and getting on with it. obviously would not recommend underage drinking, but this is all the tampon using advice that's been forced on me for the past 6 years and if you need it then it's now yours to use!! X


I got my first period on December 28 it’s now February 3rd so it’s been 38 days. I’m very worried I was supposed to get my second period 8 days ago. Should I ask my mom to take me to the doctor or is this normal?

YMRN your first few periods will be all over the place and irregular, it might take a wee bit for you to get a regular one that happens once every month :)


Hiya Dodie, I'm thinking of using a mooncup are they easy to use? I'm really scared about them but really want one!?! please help x

There are actually other youtubers who have explained how to use them. It takes a bit of practice but once you get used to it it's not a problem at all.


somehow you kept on thinking it. and after you got your period you panicked even if you know that it's normal for girls. and you knew that woyld happened but you still panick


also, so many people have recently finished their periods whaaaatttttttt

wow this feels like a reunion party or something lmao


I guess periods must be painful, but after I got kicked in the balls I had to be taken away in a wheelchair as my legs couldn't hold me up for any longer than 5 seconds, nothing other than broken or severed limbs is worse than being kicked In the balls


jesus christ i had no idea people abused their own bodies so much


...I was 10

Also weird story:
Me my mom and my brother went swimming at a fake beach and I was on my periode and I had on a pad while swimming cuz i love my bathing suit and my mom was watching us swim so i decided i did not want my pad on anymore so I decided to swim to the bottom  of the "beach" and i burried it in the sand......


Mine started before all my other friends and I don’t understand why people want to get their period it’s literally just suffering


lol I didn't get mine 8 months after my first one


I have a bad heavy period and have to have transamic (idk how you spell it) acid tablets which slow it down


the folder called "reply, bitch" containing mail.messages, and something is the most relatable thing


@***** Can I use it even if I'm a virgin?


I died laughing at 6:45 but this is a bit of an awkward video


...am I the only one confused with the fact she made this an ad?


How I know I am in mine is I feel sick and very happy and nice to people for the first time


the AWESOME K i got mine on my 12th birthday party...... it was a pool party....... i hate my life


please make a video about menstrual cups


Anyone else never get pains cramps mood swings or any symptoms? Because I don't and when people complain about them I just don't understand? (The feel of it's still really annoying tho, just not painful)

i just got clue and put in the past few months and the first day is supposed to be the same day as my prom... whoopdidoo.


I got mine  when  I was  10 the day I had to travel for Christmas


So I use this other app that you just use by putting in dates of your last period - when it ended and it like counts it down (doesn't give notifications). Basically I've been so emotional lately. I'm so sad then so happy and also very sassy. Well things had been pileing up in my head and I've wanted to cry a bit but just ignored it. So yesterday got some bad news and started texting my friends, long time and about 5 different rants later I'm balling my eyes out friend is helping so much and I'm just left thinking "why am I so emotional, what's happened?". Then it dawns on me, I go and check the app ... "7days until period" OH FOR BLOODY F SAKE! <br>Oh also (if you've made it this far thanks for reading) I've never used a tampon and am quite afraid to, any tips/advice? :)

I still don't like tampons but I use them sometimes. Putting one leg up really helps for me, but I can't use it when I don't bleed much. It's just too dry. I also recommend the first time you use a tampon to still wear a pad to make sure you don't leak trough. That happend to me the first time a lot. Anyway, good luck!💕

Water Needed this is going to sound a bit graphic, but try and touch yourself first to know your anatomy, put on your sciency glasses and discover ya self. Learn about your body. Learn about gynecological health in general. And when you feel comfortable enough with your body that you're willing to try stuff, you can decide to give tampons a go. If you don't feel like using them, don't. No shame whatsoever

hoobly woobly My emotions become a little easier to deal with when I know the cause. I try to just step back say "okay you're a bit emotional, are you overreacting at this?" It helps! Second it does sound a little strange asking and taking advice on this sort of thing online to strangers but I think if dodie is cool with chatting about it so should we! Thank you very much for the advice! I've tried using them, before but just get kind of freaked haha. Also I've heard you shouldn't use Vaseline as a lubricant as it's not made for that and I'd say that lip balm is not made for internal use either. I know you said you haven't use them before but would you recommend/have a preference to the tampons on like push up things (wut lol?) or the ones without that when starting out? :D

first of all, sorry about your scattered emotions, that sounds rough!! second of all, i'm 18, have been having periods for 6 years, but still don't use a tampon (trust me i wish i was i just psyched myself out after six years and can't think about them, especially when emotionally fragile on my period!) this does however mean though i've received an excessive amount of advice about using them, which i lay before you today:
1) sounds weird as frig to say as a stranger on the internet but i've been told in the past in the bath to try and practice with your finger, just so you know the shape of your vagina.
2) it's also supposedly much easier if you try when you're heavier, putting vaseline on the tampon to sort of lubricate it as well
3) propping one leg up on the bath or toilet is supposed to make the angle easier!
4) finally, my mum is so sick of me not using them now she recommends just doing a shot and getting on with it. obviously would not recommend underage drinking depending on how old you are, but there you go!

hope your period gets easier!!


oof, low-key sad that I don't bleed anymore, I only get super bad cramps. My doctor told me I had anaemia a while back and I started taking supplements, and now it's back and I just hsjsjsjjsj hate being female sometimes??


With me when I first come off I am either super dooper happy and hypo and everyone is scared of me incase I like wreck them by being too energetic or I’m way too depresso and if you breath near me within like 5 miles I will personally hunt you down and kill you and rn I’m in that mood bc I just came off and also my mum won’t let me have my comfort sensor (it’s a little like cooler that looks like a tea bag and it smells of lavender that I have when I get upset or have anxiety attacks) and I was rlly upset 8 mins ago now I’m super happy bc I watched this and related to every second of it


I got my period when I was 9. EaRlY pUbErTy yAy!!!!

Tots Knows all I’m 11 and got mine a couple weeks ago... I’m sorry for you


i rarely get my period, idk if im lucky or not....


Omg....the part where she was talking about she wanted it bad and then her friends all got it first. ME!


My sister had toxic shock because she was rly ill and she slept for days so she didnt change her tampon and an ambulance had to come and they tried toinject ehr woth something but she was so feverish that they accidentily poked her through her ribs and then she had a collapsed loung

At around 0:41 you sounded SO much like stewie from family guy 😂😂


This is weird but like how the heck do you take out menstrual cups


norethisterone  made my voice drop and now i get mistaken as a boy


What's a menstrual cup? I'm confused :/ I didn't know that existed

philled with dantermination its reusable, and can be used for a few years if you look after it, so it's cheap, isn't dangerous like tampons can be, and it better for the planet because there is hardly any waste. I would recommend  investing in one is you have periods. :)


I just watched a diva cup ad, just for you lol


I just watched you' I'm going blind" Youtube. Watch Doctor Michael Gegor's YouTube channel about how to eat because going blind even in 30 years is a bummer.

wait.. how would u take a bath to get rid of cramps if ur on ur period..? we'll just say it's a bath bomb.. heh


6:48 me when I first used a tampon kdhcnc omfg


would you use a cup like, when you're swimming?

water lilies I've used a cup for well over a year and have used it swimming, running, surfing, yoga, etc. No issues at all. It's no less 'secure' (can't think of a better word) than a tampon - and it actually holds loads more!

water lilies I wouldn't recommend it. Always go with a tampon when you're swimming.


My cramps have just started but I’m not due for at least a week wtf


I don’t think I will download this app as I am a man, but I have sent this link to my girl friend.


I have my friend's period on the app. I can't even get one.


Hey Evan I just finished my period<br>Evan: leaves

Hey Evan I just finished my period

I got my period when i was 5  precautions puberty sucks lamo


it really sucks being a trans boy on your period ;-;


I started when I was 10 is that bad or something :(

I was 11! And my cycle has been pretty healthy over the last 10 years... so don't worry!

I started at 10 but it took a few years to settle into a proper pattern. I'm 20 now and while it is more regular, it often comes late, and the heaviness and side effects aren't always quite the same intensity.

hello! nice to join the menarchy thread! I got my first period when I went to the cinema to watch Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. It was a new release at the time. #showingmyage #don'tcare #talesofthemenarchy

Phanic! At The Pentatonix Disco thanks ALSO DAN AND PHIL PANIC AT THD DISCO WOOOO ALSL IM 11

Freya Mandapalli my period started yesterday an I'm 11 but some of my friends got it at 9 so I don't think it's bad

Freya Mandapalli no I started when I was 10 while scuba diving

Freya Mandapalli Not at all!! my friend started at 7! and i know someone who started it at 19! its absolutely fine whenever you start :)

No problem. I paniked when i first started my period and i know i was freaked out so i like to help where ever i can to let people know that it's nothing to be paniked about :)

People start at different times in their life and thats normal don't worry ^-^

Freya Mandapalli I started when I was 10

Freya Mandapalli I also  started when I was 10, like my mum apparently. It's all natural, so don't worry dude

therealpoppinfresh I've actually heard different things. someone told me that it was more of an environmental thing, and the fact that now-a-days there's a lot of hormones in the food we eat, so that could be a factor. I started to show signs of "becoming a woman" (sorry idk how to actually say this in English) when I was around 9 or 10, so I went to the doctors and they wanted to give me a bit more time, so I started a thing in which I would get a shot every month for around a year, to slow down my development. in the end, I got my period when I was 13, and from the age of 13-15 it was extremely unregulated.

These days, a lot of women are starting their periods earlier because people are better nourished than they used to be. You won't start unless you have a healthy store of fat. So, back in Victorian times, it was unusual to start as early as 17. But these days, starting at 9 or 10 just means your body was healthy enough at that age for it to handle the hardship of a period. #funfacts

Clover Howlter ty AWLSO PHANDOM AND TROYE WOOP

Freya Mandapalli don't worry! One of my friends started when she was 9. That's a bit early for most girls but it's about the age that women begin puberty

Freya Mandapalli I'm 20 and started mine at 11! You're fine sweetie, trust.

some start at 7! I started at nine you're fine


Eat bananas, it helps with cramps. So does water


My periods are super heavy and irregular I have to have a burger every night while I’m on my period and have tablets in the burger like a dog 😭😂


14 and still haven’t got it but my mum started at 16 so...


Don't we all mess up in the beginning a lil


the way she says ibuprofen oh my god what a brit


yO I like josh dun That was your first period?? Congrats! You survived!

Don't Ask I just finished on Tuesday I think? But that was my first one yikes


I'm cramping and I want to die.

(Peer)iod, I am fucking dead ilysm Evan--


I got my period like 10 mins ago and I'm using a panty liner rn but I feel like I'm bleeding too much for j a panty liner and I would put a tampon in however the only tampons in my house rn are jumbo and super and I do not have a jumbo or a super vagina sooo p.s. It's also 10:00 pm and I have no access to any other tampons help

My guy friend has a bunch of our friend group on Clue just for shits and giggles


I have no idea y dis video became a "recommended" for me... like Boi!!! 😂 I guess it's because I used to watch her songs back then and plus "the more u know" 😉😂


Of course it's not click bait. You're a woman!


Ive had my periods for 2 years now, and I have NOT had any stomach pains...WHATSOEVER! .....I kind of wanna get one....

Midnight Weeb you DON'T! You DON'T WAN'T IT OMG IT HURTS SOOO MUCH GEEZ! okay sorry for the screaming

Midnight Gamer trust. you do not. it is a nightmare. truly awful.

@Elizabeth Meredith if you are in continous pain that debilitates you so much that you can't get out of bed you should see a doctor if you haven't already. Periods can be painful yes, but the pains shouldn't last over several days or keep you bed bound, and especially every single period. One of my friends had ovarian cysts and she had such bad periods she had to start hormonal treatment to stop it.

Midnight Gamer WTF NO YOU DONT I CANT GET UP ON MY FIRST THREE DAYS BECAUSE IM IN SO MUCH PAIN

I understand the want to understand what it's like, I was like that too, I got mine when I was 12 and all of my friends had it before me and I felt stupid for not having it and just wanted t to hurry up. Just so I could understand what they were talking about and the pain, but when I got it, oh how I wish I could go back and appreciate not having it. I got cramps and heavy flow straight away

Midnight Gamer I started having my period last year ( I'm 14 now ) and I've never gotten any cramps too!!! strange. I wonder how it feels like.

Midnight Gamer no you don't ok the first time I had cramps I was just rolling around in bed all night in pain it wasn't fun. Another time I had to run in PE while I had cramps.

I was the same way. I've had mine for six years now and just got cramps in the second or third year. When it does happen for you, I'd recommend laying on your side with a cold bottle or ice pack, or a heat pad. Pills depend on your age but I use ibuprofen and Target brand menstrual pills.  Good luck!

Midnight Gamer honestly, it's the fuckin worst! My worst cramps ever happened while I was on a sail boat in the middle of the north sea, and I sat crouched together in one of the tiny showers on board crying and dry heaving from the pain and sea sickness and it was easily THE worst pain experience of my life. I understand the curiosity, but by the gods I hope you never get to experience it! I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy tbh

it feels like the stitch a bit , but 10x worse. and you don't want to get it trust me!!! i used to not have any cramps at all, but then one day they just kicked in. so i just hope that doesn't happen to you.

I was the same. Started my period when I was 14, then only started getting cramps when I was 20/21, and even now it'll only really last a day

It makes complete sense that you're curious! But I'm sure you've felt a similar pain before; it's similar to other stomach pains, just amplified.

Midnight Gamer you really don't tbh. Mine get really bad, I've been sick before and have been sent home from college because I just couldn't cope with the pain and being in my lessons. I know that I'm due on while I'm doing my A Level exams and honestly I'm terrified about the pain distracting me from doing my exam as well as I can do. But no you don't want cramps, I'm on prescribed painkillers that are a really high dosage because of the pain.

Midnight Gamer it took my period around 2 years to start effecting me. until then I hadn't experienced any pain from it. I wish I didn't start getting period pains! they're awful.

Midnight Gamer YOU DON'T WANT ONE I PROMISE IT SUCKS SO BA DJEBWUJD

Midnight Gamer SAME ME TOO (except the i want the stomach pain too tho)

Same here! I've never had any stomach pain when on my period and I feel so bad for my friends and just the people in general who have to deal with it.

Midnight Gamer YOU LUCKY HUMAN OH MY GOD

Midnight Gamer i didnt have pain for like 1-2 years and i also kinda wanted to get pain just to see, and now everything is awful and it sucks. dont wish it upon yourself xD youll prob get it later in life tho

Midnight Gamer same because i barely get cramps or pains and i feel bad for everyone else tbh


ITS LIKE A LITTLE AQUARIUM NOOOO SKDKSKD


I’m dodie putting clue in a folder called my poor body


I'm a guy can someone explain why I clicked on this video?

(Edit):Thank you, my life question had been awnsered

doddlevloggle ahh i love you for mentioning trans guys too 💛

because you might be a trans guy who also has a period! Or you might be curious and want to empathise with people who do have periods to improve yourself as a human!


I got mine
At 11
2 days before the very first day of high school
In public
Very far from home
Without pads
Without my mum
Without a phone
At 11


So do I... Will you notice the two videos I've made on you now???


Omg my period is so heavy rn someone help


Wait you got yours at 14? I got mine at 10


i never had a break between when i first started, i was always consistent and found out i was anemic at one point which wasn’t helpful with my heavy flow, when i first used a tampon it was to go in a hot tub with my friends so my only other friend who had her period sat in front of a mirror and showed me how, it was a traumatic experience 😂 i’ve been on the pill for a bit over a year now so it’s definitely slowed (i’m 15) lmao


Hello I am insecure and need someone to tell me I'm great thank you

It is 2 months later, but that won't stop me from being nice! You great human you, keep up the life work. Since you're insecure, just remember that there ARE people out there that care for and about you. Sending positivity! 💜

DODIE I LOVE YOU. DO YOU SUPPORT ALL SEXUALITIES IN THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY? Maybe you could make a video on your experience with discovering sexuality, rights, and society with lgbtq ? Thank you so much dodieee!

Prehistoricman the rights of people belonging to the LGBTQ+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Trans, Queer/Questioning, etc, whatever you want it to stand for there are multiple things) community :)

Lauren twistedpeppermint she already has 😒

Lauren twistedpeppermint she's bi so of course she does:) watch her bi video and bi questions video

Lauren twistedpeppermint aren't you up to date

Lauren twistedpeppermint She does, she's bi. In her coming out video she talks about figuring out sexuality! It's a really good video I would highly recommend it. Just search Dodie coming out it should show up

Lauren twistedpeppermint she's bisexual and a lot of her friends are lgbtq too; she's also real kind, so I'd think so !!

You got it at 14...

I got it at 8...

Nice.


Can i ask if it's normal to bleed when you masterbate? It dosn't happen all the time but it does most of the times and i don't know if i should be worried..

Use lube my dude, use so much lube. Get some from Wal-Mart for two dollars, if you have to explain to parents tell them that it's to make tampons to in easier.

I don’t know much but I don’t think that’s good

Limit 『AVA』 That definitely doesn't sound normal. I would go to your gynecologist and have that checked out, if I was you.


i'm a guy and i haven't started my period, is that normal?


GIRLS HAVE BLOOD FROM THERE PEPEPE???!?!1?1?!11??11?1?? NO!

Before anyone attacks me I know the spelling is wrong and whatever... it’s a joke :p

How tf i read it "bleach" the first time


that is a genuinely wonderful title wowie


Almost everyone in my class (born female) has gotten their period but I haven't and I'm really happy for that because I'm identifying myself as non-binary :)

Lucky you <br>I am non-binary and want to get rid of mine!

Lucky you
I am non-binary and want to get rid of mine!

Dansy how is that then? I don't really understand. How can you not be a girl or boy? (Not hating or doubting I'm just so uninformed)


Clue doesnt work with me its rly hectic oml


Wait hold on, you have physics class???? In middle school??


My period is kinda a nightmare. Not because it hurts. No, i feel literally nothing. My only symptom is the bleeding. the nightmare is there are no signs at all that it’s gonna start


Omg I accidentally clicked the stream button and it streamed to my brothers tv 🤭😳...help


When I got my first period I almost died. Although I don't have cramps so.......yeah


Please Dodie subtitle your vids, english is not my mother tongue and you speak so fast that sometimes I don't understand what you say.


looks at title ok, so what?
looks at thumbnail oh it's a female, ofc it would be talking about her period lol

*looks at title* ok, so what?
*looks at thumbnail* oh it's a female, ofc it would be talking about her period lol

Dovid Cohen what else would she be talking about when saying, I bleed out of my vagina?

+Kaz Memes I mean, the trans women who have penises are a really small minority. We all understood that the commenter meant a cis woman, it's logical to assume that, because most women are cis. So do we really have to change the entire language over a small technical flaw in it?

Dovid Cohen oh yeah as if every female on YouTube talks about it🙄

Dovid Cohen tHANK God, I was literally going to go on a huge rant😂

Dovid Cohen this is either rlly sexist or like a joke. maybe I am just an asshole😂

Dovid Cohen im not sure if your serious tho lolol


i havnt started it yet but im scared to start


I haven't started it. That might be because im a guy, but I feel left out.

JK! That shit sounds awful!


AFluffyKantus Yeah m8 did you even watch it?


Can you straighten your hair in a video because I really want short hair but I want to know what you have so it would be helpful xx


I understand that your demographic probably is 90% women.

Being a dude, I am extremely uncomfortable.

new to this community, sorry if I offended anyone. I think my message was clear.

If it was unclear to you i was, indeed, using medical terminology when proving my point, but I believe it's justified as i was talking about parts of the body and not how one identifies.

unless you are using medical terminology (which, for people outside the binary, is offensive to use outside of the doctor's office), genitalia is irrelevant to the ''gender'' of your body. if you identify as male and you are non cis, you still have a male body, but you may have a body of the female sex. which also is none of anyone's business except the carrier of the body's.

if you identify as male then you're not a woman wh

If periods make you 'extremely uncomfortable' then dont click on a video about periods :)

@Cara Squires Riiight. Yeah. I still think saying guys han have periods bc of the extremely small amount of guys that would be having periods would be that small amount of people that identify as male, and is pre-transition. Guys can not have periods, women who identify as male, but are pre-transition have periods, would be more correct.

+Oskar i mean the other way around- so people who identify as men but have uteruses- e.g they're pre-transition

@Cara Squires I support people who identify as being trans/non-binary, but while still in a male body you do not have a uterus; hence no period.

@Everyone in this thread. Jeez, people, I wasn't saying "stop having periods it's yucky eeeww" and neither was I saying that I did not understand the consept of periods.

Oskar she's referring to trans/ non binary people- some people who identify as men do have uteruses :)

@Rainbow Girl Guys can not get periods. We don't have uteruses.

Oskar Haha, I understand that you feel a bit uncomfortable! After all, you can't help feeling a bit uneasy when hearing these things. I was the same way as a kid. Now, I know it is completely none of my business, but please try to get more comfortable with this topic! It isn't as awkward as it all sounds! Periods are completely normal, and even though lots of people acknowledge that, they still say similar things like what you said. There's nothing wrong with that though, but it kind of makes me (a girl) feel like I'm weird, just because my body goes through menstruation... So, no need to feel awkward, instead, listening to videos like this make you feel more at ease and it's awesome when someone who doesn't have periods chooses to get comfortable with the topic! :)

Hi Oskar, thinking about periods is hard when you don't get them. But I will tell you a story. My grandmother developed bowel cancer at a young age, when she was still getting her periods. This meant that she couldn't leave the house and to be fair, she didn't really want to. My dad, took it upon himself to do her shopping on her behalf, to which included female sanitary products. He never batted an eyelid or thought anything of it. It's just one of those things that happens in life. And yes the prospect of having numerous pints of blood leave your vagina on a (hopefully) regular basis sucks. So we need all the support we can get without others feeling uncomfortable.

Oskar just be cool man, nothing weird here. Just a bunch of people talking about consistently bleeding for days on end from a bodily orifice. Nothing weird.

Oskar i don't mean to offend you in any way but being uncomfortable when it comes to discussion about periods is kind of problematic, it is producing the notion that periods are not something to talk about or even something to be ashamed of. maybe your reaction has something to do with lack of knowledge and if you talked to the women in your life about it or searched or the Internet so that you would be somewhat more educated about it ( assuming that now you're not....or maybe you are and I'm just being bitchy ) you would much more comfortable about it because you would realise that it is something very natural to talk about

Oskar guys can get periods too and thats why videos like this are very important so no matter who you are you feel okay talking about periods.

Oskar Hahahah I think I would freak out a little about everyone talking about blood if I wasn't on my period myself😂

Not complaining about the video, happy she made it, I'm just weirded out as it is not "normal" for me. Continue browsing :).

Oskar get over it. its natural and happens to half the population


Also I probably shouldn’t be watching this while eating. Whoops.


dodie got her first period at 14.<br>i got my first period at 11.

dodie got her first period at 14.
i got my first period at 11.


But like how do you have a bath whilst on your period? I've always been too scared to like would you not be bathing in your own blood ew XD

OffTheHandle the water pressure stops it.


I'm 11 and I have this. Somebody kill me.


Am i the only one that doesn’t get cramps at all ?


What's a menstrual cup? Like what is it?


Help kids!! I think I may have started but I’m not sure... I have school in the morning and I’ve been having stomach pain on and off for the past couple weeks.

I have no idea what the heck is going on


I got my first one on my first day of high school

My first day of freshman year

First bell Spanish

AND THEN SATAN CAME

SwaggySeaGirl52 shit that must have sucked I’m sorry


Hello i haven't started yet and i am hoping for it to delay as much as possible! But anyways this is a very nice video for all us ladies because im soo scared for it to come because i feel like i wont be able to live once it comes

Nerdy Bow 2468 P.S. I actually use Clue however its not that useful for me yet because I'm not regular (probably won't be for a while) but it's nice to have

Nerdy Bow 2468 I got my first one back in April and I'm still hear. I did attempt to use a tampon for the first time today, however I failed but I'm just going to have to try again tomorrow 😊don't be scared of it, I mean yes it does have it's down sides but you know it's different for everyone and yours might be awfully terrible or it might be ok. Oh and don't be scared to talk about your period with friends because if you start the conversation you will be surprised how easily it will go from there.


I got my first period when- HA JUST KIDDING IM A MAN AND DONT HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS. GET REKT MY LIFE IS SO EASY


Why do ppl with periods that hang out a lot sync up?

I got my period on Christmas. It sucked.


I haven't started yet but I'm so scared ;-;


Does anybody have really bad cramp like so SO. BAD that you can tell the exact shape of your womb?

Ps I wanna use menstrual cup but I leave my house at 6am and come back at 10pm and I don’t wanna pull out bloody cup in a public toilet. HELP???


Thank you so much for this. We really need to talk more about this subject. I always thought my heavy pains were normal and that I was just irregular, sometimes I would bleed 4 weeks in a row. I went to the gyn, who just brushed it off as "this is normal for girls". Meanwhile I felt so miserable I couldn't even go to school anymore. Turns out I have endometriosis and adenomyosis. It's awful, but at least I know what's going on with my body now and I was able to get the right meds for it. I loved this vid and how comfortable you are talking about this. We need more of that!


I love this video. Just talking about it feels so safe and like we can be open about something that has been made into a taboo topic so unfairly. Thank you, Dodie.


My experience with menstruation has been pretty weird. I started very young (nine years old) and had incredibly unpredictable, heavy periods for six years. Eventually I went on the pill basically out of medical necessity, and now my cycle is extremely regular and my bleeding is very light. Thankfully the pill causes basically no side effects for me (aside from sunburning more easily, oddly enough), since I kind of have to take it. It's interesting to learn how other people's experiences compare or differ from mine.


Oh gosh Dodie I feel you!! Ive had irregular periods and searing pains since 14 and i've been on the pill the whole time.. soon to have surgery for endometriosis and HOLY CRAP this app will be hella exciting to use once every things healed and normal!! THANK YOU <3 XX


1. I'm so glad a female public figure is open to talking about menstruation and using the word vagina so openly, especially when it's still seen as taboo.
2. Clue is great.
3. I think my favorite thing about periods is that the title comes from calculus, referring to the distance required for a function to complete a cycle. It's like our bodies made a math pun.


I can FEEL the stigma losing its potency a little bit with every video like this.


I love hearing period stories... I know that's weird but sometimes you wonder if you're strange. But every person is different and finally understand that at 21! But would love to know more about menstrual cups- I'm still not convinced... 😂


I was sixteen when I started. I'd been anorexic for a couple of years so I was too underweight to bleed. I had really bad pain the day before and for some reason I thought the pain was kidney stones (?? I don't know why either) so when I went to the toilet and saw blood I freaked out and sobbed hysterically. It took me ten minutes before I realised that I have a uterus so it was just a period


YES I LOVE YOU DODIE YOU ARE AMAZING THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU


I started my period a year ago (I was 12). I had the feeling that I had to pee and that I was dripping or something so I went to the restroom and saw brown and red in my pants and I started crying. I had physical education that day and I was so embarrassed.Luckily my friend already had her period and she helped me. I'm 13 now and I do have a regular cycle luckily but heavy bleeding and extremely painful cramps. I also get very emotional.


When I first got my period at 12, I thought that periods was something that happened only once in your lifetime and that's it.  When my parents told me that this isn't true, I cried.


It's so relieving to know that I'm not weird for still not having a regular period despite being 21. I also use Clue, it's great for me for tracking moods and depressive episodes, and keeping track of when the f*ck my last period even was (I often will have 3-4mo between periods ugh) for doctor's visits and stuff.


i use eve to track my period. i love the design (as it's generally very cute and colorful) and it's very, very good at its job. there's a community of people with wombs on eve who are very sweet (though i am not a part of said community for one reason or another) and it's a very interactive app and whatnot. x


6:48 😂😂😂😂 dodie. i love you. my periods are so bad i was rushed to hospital in an ambulance with them. the pill is good so i have a normal period now. it still hurts, aches etc. i might make a story time about my periods 😂


I love clue, been using it for years. It is so handy. My top tip is taking buscopan for cramps. Works like a charm. I also love being able to track my sleep. When I am ovulating and pmsing I get insomnia, which is handy to track.  I love talking about periods, thank you for the convo!


"someone injected me with go away poison" is such an accurate statement about how I feel leading up to my period and when I'm on it


i love you getting so real about things <3


I've used this app for aaaaages and it's so good being able to read about the patterns in my cycle after a while of use. I never realised before using it that i'm SUPER regular - like bang on the same day a month. It's weird. <br>Also I love the names you give your folders - I paused the video to appreciate (my fave is 'Ur probably late')

As a cis male, this is really interesting. Because of the stigma around it, people like me know very little about it. Knowing more about it helps break this barrier down, which is great. It's overall pretty cool.


I love you for talking about this and I lost my shit when you said "Lucy is currently in her fertile window...Good to know. We're both ovulating...Wonderful" 😂😂😂 and "THERES SOMETHING IN MY VAGINA!" 🤣🤣


I'm a guy and obviously don't know where most of you are coming from but I think that Dodie is being more scary than helpful. Love the vids Dodie keep it up!!


What a freaking journey! I use clue too and it helps a bunch(when I remember to record)


@doddleoddle i just started mine today and im so happy dodie made this because she makes every tough thing in life positive love you and thank uuu😂😂💛💛


I was 11. We were in vacation, and when I was about to change into my swimsuit, my mum and I saw a light red stain on my underwear. I knew what it was, and so did my mum, and she was so emotional about it. I knew it was going to be hell after that, and it was.

Though my periods don't bother me anymore, I still hate the fact that I need 2 pads since I have a heavy ones. It always leak, but thankfully I'm getting the hang of it.


currently suffering from a dreadful pms headache and somehow this is very comforting to watch :)


I always felt self conscious when I first started my period because i started really early (when I was 11). Now I feel like I'm the only person who isn't bothered by it at all? It kinda just happens and it might make me moody but I never complain about it like a lot of my friends do.


I can relate to the irregular periods. x_x It took my body a good 15 years to figure out what to do. =/  But now that it's regular, I can always tell it's about to come because I feel all warm and toasty. ^-^  It's the only time of the month that I can work in an over-air-conditioned office without wearing a big bulky sweater lol. :P


can we just talk about the fact that dodie made an 8min video about this normally awkward subject but i dont feel awkward watching this at all


I love Clue! My mom told me about it and I've been using it since February. It's so helpful and I feel so in tune with my body. :D


I too was put on bc pills to get regular, and then ended up with migraines from the pills. I've tried the depo shot and the nexplanon implant, but my body just doesn't handle the extra hormones very well. It makes me feel like I'm a different person when I'm on that stuff.


I got my period the day before my dads funeral when I was 11.  There was so much stress so I screamed when I got it.  I was before all my friends so I feel more mature.


My immunity is always hella low the week before I get my period, so when I start getting more exhausted than usual and start getting a cold, I know it's on it's way.


my period use to be so heavy so my mom had me try the depo shot, that worked for a little while and my periods were a normal flow but they would last for a month or even two and i would get a week break (it sucked) after trying it one more time it still wouldn't change, so now im on the pill which is working great.


I'm happy that this was an ad for something I already use, so I could enjoy the video without being ad-ed

As a non-Binairy person it's HELL its like dysphoria x1000 and clue helps me soo much! It's so non feminine I looovee its


All my friends had periods before me and I first got mine at 13 at a three year olds party in an indoor playground. I dont usually have heavy flows, so Im thankful for that. But my cramps are horrid and almost always happen during school. Everyone tends me to be different, so if you havent atarted and are reading this, you might have heavy flows and prefer tampons to pads. I prefer pads, but everyone depends :) The worst thing though that I'll always fear is going on a trip while im on my period and not being able to have the most fun


Yis gurl, I love talking about periods. It's crazy that menstrual cups have existed since the 1920s and they're only getting massive selection Now! As well as it being "okay" to talk about periods; what a world.


am i the only one who wants dodie to do one of those 'what's on my phone' vids? it may be basic but i'm really interested !!


YES! Do a video on cups!!! People need to become aware of how awesome they are!!


Yes, please make a seperate video on menstrual cups and tell us which one you have!


I was in church when I got my first period. I had absolutely no idea what was happening because I was 12. Legit I thought I had some sort of strange disorder


i love clue, i've been using it ever since i got my first period just over two years ago. i'm a pad user but i really wanna try a menstrual cup. how exactly does it work? how do you wash it in a public washroom? my washroom at home is so weird so the toilet is on the opposite side of the room from the sink rip


I only recently got my period and I was so mad. I jokingly say that I am a boy because I have short hair, wear (commonly) boy's clothing, I basically am as flat as a football field, and I hadn't gotten my period (and also before I was born the doctors told my parents that I a girl [sadly] was going to be a boy). By the point that I did get my period I wasn't experiencing too much pain I was just hurt internally because I could no longer say that I was possibly a boy.


I used to use clue to track my period. It was so handy! However it didn't predict me not getting my period for 6 months and then 2 months but I'll let that slide hahaha. Now I just use it to remind me to take my pill daily because the pill helps me not puke in places like a train carriage from period cramps


I always felt so awkward when I was younger because I matured SO much earlier than my fellow pupils.
I was about 8 when I first got my period and to be frank. I always looked older than I always was.
Annnddddddddd sex ed was awkward.... when me and all the other 13 year olds 'learning' about periods. When I had already had my period for like 5 years. awkwarddd


I have PCOS so its so so stressful not knowing what's happening, everything's so irregular, but I'll get used to it sometime😂


I have a genetic bleeding disorder called Von Willebrands Disease. I have very irregular, heavy periods. January last year I had a period that lasted for 6 months straight. This was during my last semester of my senior year of college. I suffered severe exhaustion, lightheadedness, and brain fog. It got so bad I almost didn't graduate. It negatively affected every aspect of my life, from my academics to my social life. I had an iud placed in May and it helped. Now I still suffer severe cramps, and my cycle is still incredibly irregular, I've bled twice this month so far. so yeah. that's my personal experience. I'm 22 years old and my body still hasn't figured out how to menstruate normally.


I'm very lucky that I started the pill and it stopped my periods but didn't give me any side effects 🖒


My mom helped me with tampons too!! Literally the worst situation ever and am kinda scarred from using tampons 👌🏽 now me and my mom track eachothers periods on clue and always say "ur about to start!!!" To each other (still weird lol)


I'm still terrible at tampons lol and I live in fear of having a swim meet on my period but I do lol


I loathe that whole attitude of "now you're a woman!" I was 10. I was not a woman. I was a child. Who developed very early. I tried to hide it and my stepmom was a total bitch about it and not helpful. I felt a lot of shame about it for a long time.


CLUE IS LEGIT MY LIFESAVOR UGH I LOVE IT


When i got my period I didn't tell my mom for a whole year! (I don't know why..?)<br> later I found out that mom did the same thing with her mom. History repeats itself!!

How do you handle "emptying" the menstrual cup? And cleaning it and such? I feel like it would freak me out tbh


You should absolutely do a vid on menstrual cups. They sound great but I and a lot of people have no clue what they are or how they work
