How I Know When I Have My Period Without SEEING It *TMI* 

Molly Burke tampons make me cry my eyes out because of the pain so pads

Both!

Usually tampons

Molly Burke I use a mentral cup most of the time

I use a menstrual cup! Game changer!

Lol and we know how to get blood out of anythinggg 😂😂😂 I told a guy and he was like "uhhhh" like scared. Like if you knew how many things our periods ruin I swear 😂😂😂

As a mom, if my grown daughters needed me to look at anything that came out of their bodies, of course I would. No question. They’re my daughters.

@@juniper617 you birthed them and that is a very visceral thing of course they shouldn't be shy to show you anything lol you've seen every inch of them and they lived inside you. I don't see why people are so weird about things like that.

@@juniper617 When i got my first period it was like, a week before my 10th birthday, so i was 9yrs old, and school hadn't gone into the whole period lessons yet, so, i just saw this weird browny-red stuff in my pants and thought i crapped myself so i just showed my mum and asked her if it was period blood. Daughters should never feel shy to show their mums their period blood. I have a 5yr old daughter, and i got a side episiotomy, so stitches, i had to regularly show the stitches to my partner to make sure none burst or whatever, and make sure i was healing okay. After labouring and birthing totally nude because clothes were uncomfortable for me, i lost all shyness when it comes to my naked body. I'm not an exhibitionist at all, my clothes are like high-neck, long-sleeve, trousers, but i'm not shy to just take it all off if i need to and i'm thankful for that, medically-wise.

I was 8 when I got mine. I just had 2 teeth pulled & we were visiting a friend of my mother's in the hospital. I wasn't feeling well, so when we went back to my mother's friend's apartment to pick things up for the hospital, I went to sleep. When I woke up.....blood bath all over, (hope this isn't too graphic). Even at that young age, I was very private, shy. Didn't know what was on the bed, went to the bathroom and screamed. My mother was visiting the couple next door with my sister. Who does my mother send to find out what's wrong? My sister. UGH. I was NOT a dramatic child, so hearing me scream should have sent shivers down my mother's spine, but no. LOL I wouldn't let anyone in the bathroom, (remember, shy & private). My mother had to use a key. I was crying, thinking I was dying....I was in so much pain, everywhere, because even my mouth was hurting & bloody. It was horrible. My cycle never let up; and was very inconsistent in when it would come. When it did, it usually lasted between 7-9 days. I'd miss 3 days of school every month, if it didn't start on the weekend. I'm now 58 and it took 4 years to get rid of it during menopause. My doctor told me that getting it so young I probably would stop getting it when younger. NOPE. The majority of my friends had "normal" cycles, most of them NEVER complaining of cramps or nausea or heavy flows. They also stopped getting it a couple of months after starting menopause. Where's the justice in that? LOL

The best definition ever

😂😂 yup.

Karan WHAT THE HECK

My worst story, I recently started wearing dresses. I had this really cute tight polka dot one. I dont even want to describe what happened nexy

Karan are you satan?

Thanks Hermione OMG!!!!

I got my first period when I was 10 and I was in 5th grade. It was in September, I think. I had just learned about menstruation, too, in my science class, but luckily I got it at around 7 or 8 PM so I was at home. I only told my mom, and she didn't tell anyone and I was kind of scared so every time I had to go to the bathroom, my mom had to go with me. Now I am 13 and looking back to it, it was kind of funny how I got it the same day we had about it at school, haha.

13 lucky I got mine at 11

@@teamw4954 I got mine at 10..

and so did my sister

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

They would blast it, demand monthly paid sick leave, get free products and pain meds...

I mean, there's is a 'normal' period, it's good to know what is considered normal and what's not so that we know if we're healthy

@@hannap8052 your normal could be completely different to mine though, theres no set normal that every single woman has the same

Hania P. There’s a normal “range” Definitely not a normal period.

Exactly. I just said this in my comment. There isn’t a “normal” so to speak.

@@grayskindablue what I meant by 'normal' is 'healthy', one that doesn't need medical intervention and shows that everything is ok. I use to vomit and faint on my period, it was 'normal' for me but it wasn't healthy because it was really bad for my body. I'm not saying everybody's period is the same, sorry if I misunderstood

Chasmic _ whoosh

It’s like giving birth to a jellyfish

Just when you move slightly having been in the same position for a rather long time you just dread the feeling it’s awful

Chasmic _ when you sneeze

Chasmic _ ahaha i stand with my legs crossed, its a scary moment 😬😂

Omg right, just count the number of different viscosities that come out 😂🩸

I never thought of it that way! But yes, that is exactly how it feels! I have to tell my bf about this

Ew so accurate tho the grossest feeling too I hate it

Just say people without periods it sound like you think trans girls are actually boy

@@crazycarly3504 ur right, sorry

Welp... April Fools is what I’d WANT to say. Periods kinda suck...

such a funny day to get your first period! :-P I got mine when i was 13 on halloween of all days! haha

Oh if only

britziebabe Your brain just told your body that you wanted to be a bloody doll for halloween.. And it improvised

I forget exactly what age but of course it was the day I wore white shorts to summer camp 🤦‍♀️

Exactly, nothing about a period is gross or graphic..to me

Lmao I know right. I don't feel grossed out by mine. Its normal.

Not gross to me. I supported my wife when she went through this. Had no problems going to the store for her, taking care of her while going through it. We have been married for 37 years. She doesn't get them anymore and i am glad that she doesn't have to go through the pain. I do miss taking care of her though.

@@nelsonwilkins347 How old are you? Did anyone told you what it was before you had em?

reedlawrencej if u have been married for 37 years that means ur a decent age but you decided to click on a girls video in her twenties thats talking about her period. dont u think thats a little odd. no shade

Yea i do that often!

miranda yes

@@sherlock7124 whoops I didn't even know ahah

*facepalm* she literally says it multiple times throughout this video.

How she looks at the camera

LMAO yeah... 🤦‍♀️

*compony*

Company*

Yeah that's super cool, I've never actually seen a tampon sponsorship :)

Lol

that sounds ominous lmao

🤣🤣😂

wait, that dude didn’t know periods existed?

*cough* It's BTS he probably did he just didn’t know how terrible it is 💀

Ha my boyfriend said that to I slapped him a few time LOVE YA BABE

Eloise Hawley yeah that happens to me sometimes and omg I hate it, it feels so weird

Same and I’m grateful for that

Same I cry 😂

Eloise Hawley I would rather that tbh. I never know when i get it.

Eloise Hawley same. I am well aware of what’s going on.

periods, labor, cramps, birth : **cries in most of these include blood and screaming/ crying CONSTANTLY**

A whole week of getting kicked in the balls

I explain it to my brothers that it’s like getting hit in the balls nonstop for 3-7 days.

ovarian cysts:

Childbirth: what about me

@Nicholas Aubéwhat???

Okay that's fucking golden 😂😂

Nicholas Aubé no my guy it’s a 3 year old boy they can’t swim nor ride a bike 💀

At that age, gender is irrelevant for the joke to work. Nice one tho, I laughed.

This deserves a standing obviation

You rock for saying that men are always looking down on us for our periods it's normal and natural yes it sucks but it's mother nature doing her cycle

Or you could see it as a time where people like Molly are able to talk about this online. This is a good thing imo

Its true that it sucks, cause I'm on it 😭

Agree. You go Molly!! 😘😘😘♥️♥️♥️

Omg I agree it’s natural it sucks but like my mom said every girl and woman goes through it

_KyLiE _ nice 😂

A overlooked "I" in the first line made me see the period personified, yelling at the teacher. What an inner picture!

KYLIE DA CUTIE lol same lol

My workmate and I use to have it the same week. She can't cooperate in normal weeks either, but in those days she's turning into a witch, so we preferably avoid talking to each other.

Don't blame your bad behavior on a period. You can control your behavior if you want to.

Stephanie Elise I read that as “the Mascara in my pants” and got SO confused for a second hahaha😂

It'sLaraBeth me too 😂

I heard the “master in my pants”

I heard the massacre in my hands😂

You are all so funny made my afternoon! 🤣🤣🤣 🤣

Always a silver lining!

Ugh I hate the swollen chest. It's already so big I don't want it being bigger haha

I literally know fuck all about periods, I wasn't told anything much growing up, so right now in like swollen boobs?? 😂😂

@@cambo338 ha, I don't get swollen boobs either 🙈😂

Yup

Tru tho

Ugh! The worst 😩 And my stomach is always upset the first few days of my period from all the cramps and stuff. Not fun!

Wasting a whole roll of toilet paper because theres so much blood 😢

One reason I looove those little showers in Finland you have next to every toilet. You just wash yourself right there. I eventually started to always wash poopie instead of wiping outside period too because it's much more hygienic, effective and gentle, now I however live in South Africa where those little showers aren't a thing of course so I'm kinda re-learning to wipe like a normal person I guess, lol... Granted I'm also pregnant so no period poopies for now

Omg! I seriously thought it was only me!!!

Hell ya!

yeah its completely normal

@@reagan6743 :)

@@lil-mj5ed agreed!

Thank you so much for thinking about the other gender cause there are many men who don’t 😁

That's actually cute lol

ew-

That’s awesome! And super cute

Awww

@@kai-hs3db what about that is ew? Its kinda cute 😂

Evelyn R yeah and then when we do get pregnant it’s like we’re being punished x10 😭

Yeah

OMG YES WHY CAN WE JUST HAVE LIKE ONE

Uterus wants baby, uterus don’t get baby, uterus wants revenge.

Evelyn R yes

Ok, but like, have you done it without looking? I’m sure it’s fine for blind women to use tampons or pads if maneuvering a cup is too difficult. It’s not fair to impose a feeling of guilt on those who already have tougher situations. This is coming from another cup user. I believe the women who are able to use cups have already made a huge impact on the environment. If one can use a menstrual cup as a blind person, that is really incredible to me.

@@elephantshrew6304 I don't look when I use my cup. The only time I see it is when I take it out from its storage and when I wash it (but I could wash it without being able to see it and have when my migraine is so bad that I don't turn on any lights in the bathroom). But that's just me, it could be different depending on the user.

@cheeky banana ive never been a shy girly girl. Always had more Male friends than female. It almost became a game of mine to see if i can make the guys on my raid team squirm with some comment they have been conditioned not to say infront of girls

The metalic scent may be you smelling the iron in your blood. I know I smell way different when I'm having my period. It's like a metalic smell mixed with the sweat that you get from having sex (it's very specific to me).

Lucinda K not a couple of days, hours, minutes, years!! A COUPLE PERIODS AGO JAJAJAHA great way to count time haha

I love this I'm currently on and this has been the most emotional and I just start crying for no reason this doesn't normally happen so I'm just confused at why there are tears streaming down my face

Alexa Cabello 😂😂😂

I do that without my period

I once got mad at a shampoo bottle for being empty...

I use it and love it. I'm using the free version but am considering the subscription for the extra features!

clue rocks!!

Clue is a good one

Giving solving the mystery of Mr.Boddy a new meaning.

I'm not blind, but I use Clue all the time. It also tracks ovulation. I think mine is slightly off for ovulation, but it's pretty close.

Ha, I've never seen it described this way, but it's very accurate

"Large _jellyfish_ " 😆 wow...

Yes I remember the jellyfish. I didn't know what to call them back then.

Perfect description 👏👏👏👏

That’s actually so true 😂 Especially when getting out of bed in a morning 💀

Cassie W 👏🏼

Totally agree! 🇨🇦❤️

In the 90's?? It's even more expensive today. I hate the American healthcare system. And I know all my Canadian and European friends complain about the higher taxes, but the American tax code is so cumbersome and ridiculous that a lot of Americans overpay taxes unless they have the cash to hire tax specialists. I hate all the medical bills that come after I see a doctor, and I just found out because my husband switched jobs and I'm no longer eligible for his new work insurance until he's been there for a year, I'll be paying $580/month on top of my normal medical bills. Just got a bill for $387 from my ultrasound to determine my due date for this new baby. How is this better than paying higher taxes?!? At least if we had higher taxes contributing to a national health Care system, we wouldn't have the highest maternal death rate of all the developed countries, because pregnant women wouldn't put off seeing a doctor until it was too late. I wouldn't get panic attacks every time I have to see a doctor. America is so broken.

Oh wow, that is pretty young.

Omg wow!

You were an early bloomer!

Same I got mine at 9

I thought I was dying

My mom wasn't around, busy at work. I was panicking, talked to grandma and she explained it. Thankfully, showered and slept.😊

@@shadowsmoonlight same pinch my mom was also not with me when I first got my period...it was just me and my cousin

Ikr something so natural is not gross

Sorry... I know it's natural, but for me it's very gross... not the smell, but to feel you have blood all over, I normally feel so angry everytime I get stained

I think it's okay for people to admit it's gross, even if it is natural. So is vomiting and pooping but we consider that gross. It's tissue being shed and blood everywhere!

omg my moms name is jennifer harris too lmao

I agree!!

That's kinda great

That's an awesome teacher

my teachers just tell me to get over it and don’t “overreact” but ya know i have bad fucking cramps soooooooooo she got fired cause she did it to all of the girls at my school and it pissed us off enough to tell the principal

Oh my gosh that's so sweet😭

I get migraines and horrible cramps on my period, so I almost never make it to school on the day it starts (cuz it’s worse then) But when I do go to school when I have those issues, I look like a heccing zombie.

H. C. Meeeee

ikr its such a mood

i haven’t started my period yet this month but this is literally happening to me right now lmfao

LOL that's how my boyfriend knows I'm ovulating. They grow like a whole freaking cup size. :/ It's freaking weird.

I also can feel it, like I know, that’s the real thing, but sometimes I have pre-cramps due to pms, so sometimes I have to check more often, because, well I’m a little bit paranoid in this topic 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

I think like my first day, right when it starts, sometimes I'm surprised and didn't know. So I could see some accidents happening, but for the most part I'd think you'd know

I've always had irregular and heavy periods, and I literally never know it's "coming" until it's HERE. I'm on the birth control pill now, so I only know it's coming when it's time to take a week break in my pill, but I still can't "feel" that it's coming.

Nikotastik yeah me too

I was always able to tell the minute it started also, but Molly said hers now starts with light spotting, so that would probably not be as obvious.

Or sneeze

Or cough

or get frightened by somebody

lina girl I wear tampons so I don’t even feel it

mere standing up from a chair feels like bloody niagara falls down there wdym

Camryn when I was in 7th grade a boy in my class said that getting hit in the balls is worse than anything a women has to go through....let’s just say us girls never let him forget that he said that.

Mozzie Meow, that’s great. 😂 I wouldn’t let anyone forget that either, they haven’t experienced periods, and we haven’t experienced getting hit in the balls, so we can just agree that there is pain...

I love your icon. hurricane Katrina?! More like hurricane tortilla!

Audrey Ann thanks!

Yes. yes, it is a joke to some of them

Same

I mean they’re just blond, they can still feel it though

I can feel when I get my period without looking. So I guess thats how they know the point is how to actually deal with it, know if you have to change pads or if your underwear/ pants are clean or not. Etc

I’m confused? Is that because trans people exist?

The dragon😆😆 I love that

😂🤣🐉

I'm stealing this 🙌🏻

hahahaha that's a good one!

That it is interesting. I love reading health stuff so I find it interesting. I love learning about about health stuff so I can be educated and know how to help someone if the need occurred

God, I wish my period stopped when I temporarily lost my sight! I'm part of the very unfortunate population that gets a heavier/worse flow the more emotional I get. (I hope this doesn't come off as crass or anything. ^^; My filter seems to be broken half the time.)

Her period stopped because she was essentially anorexic. It was due to malnutrition. I hope you are doing well now mentally and physically.

@@brit4294 yes, this is true. I wasn't saying OP experienced what Molly did, just that Molly made it clear why she lost her menstrual cycle.

This is kind of unrelated but I love your username

A Lemon me too!

I second this!

Yesss!!! Would love to see the journey between you two 💛

Gosh i now as a mom the story they tell will put me in tears and im ready for it

I'm not blind but my mother and I are that close too if needed ❤

Victoria Pavkovic SAME

It's the same for me too 😂😂

Same

Your phone is stalking you...it “hears” when you talk about anything...💀📱

Our overlord Google knows everything about us.

Ur valid and beutiful, good for you 💖

Amen

Me too

i agree brother 😔

So true

Tiffany Jenks Castiel I use clue too! It’s great for me

Clue is the best one I've used.

Clue hasn’t been too accurate for me and I’m sad. My period usually comes a week or two before clue says it will. :(((

i use it too! i like how many options you get to track both your period and any personal symptoms you usually get, and it has been pretty accurate

I use Clue also and mine comes a few days after clue says it will come

Lol

Or laugh too hard It sucks Satan’s waterfall

Satan is not forgiving

Yes!

iron, and fish. with a weird other smell

Probably iron + ur normal vag smell.

Hannahnadine like a fishy-metal scent?

Same.

Aw so inspiring 🥰😘😊

Use the cup It’s the best

I use the Diva Cup! I recommend it ladies!

That’s one of the best feelings wow I’m weird

I sneeze the tampon out too..........//

Mystic Diaries What 😂😂😂

I got my red wings

I agree. They shouldn't be having s*x, at all, if they don't understand what it actually is, what ovulation is, what menstration is... Especially if they are grown men. We do natural family planning so being educated on the female cycle is so important!!!

sameee i love that app

I use Flo app

I use clue

Ya that shit got me bullyed

@@kitten_582 I'm sry to hear that, people suck sometimes. I got teased (mostly by boys in my class) in 7th grade for not wearing a bra yet or shaving my legs. I don't think I got my period till later. I don't remember what age I was when it started.

Sara White what the fuck... WHY would someone even care about ur bra..I dont get it.. BRUH SJJDBSBSBBSNSHSHSBBSV😂

@@eve.m1026 IKR? Probably because they were middle school boys w nothing better to do. I still remember them tracing my spine w their fingers to check/ prove it.

Well i'm a man and don't like that topic xD Nahh i don't really need that

Brittany Bilson feel you. I have both endometriosis and adenomyosis 😭 the both contractions and period cramps are so much alike. But my cramps are worst than when I gave birth to my daughter!

Feeeeel ya

I have that as well but I get rectal pain omg it’s the worst

Isabel Karoline Mongstad oh my god. I’m so sorry. That must suck so bad. ☹️ I have endometriosis which obviously comes with super heavy bleeding.. which sucks because I’m also extremely anemic. So every month I end up in the hospital with an extremely low blood count. People really don’t give us women enough credit for the shit we experience every month.

I'm the same also have 2 wombs (effects 1 in a million ) the pain gets pretty bad so I feel your pain 💗

my daughter uses Clue as well, she loves it.

i use clue too. it’s never been wrong for me.

I use Clue also!

I use Clue and it’s amazing

Same and it has been super accurate for me!

Same! I love “Clue”! It’s always accurate!

Its only 100% accurate if you have a regular period cycle,if not it will be less accurate but it takes in the pattern and information and make a perdiction as to when it is

Lindsey Dickinson I use Clue too, and its been 100% accurate for me too.

omg i use clue too!!
