What do I do when I get my period? 

you (correctly) address subjects that many would or do shy away from considering. I admire you for doing so much to demystify many aspects of what is everyday life and presenting it in such a clear and accurate way. I am glad that you are getting some essential redevelopment of your bathroom. If this sounds stilted, typing is a challenge tonight, I had should surgery yesterday, so my dominant hand and arm is stuck in a sling, and I am on the extra pills popping round for a day or so.

Interesting and fascinating to hear about something like this. Thanks for the candid talk, few people could be secure enough to do what you're doing.

Norway here, your vids could EASILY become sets of educational videos. This is rare wisdom to come across for the regular healthworker without being too abstract and unrelatable👍👍👍 Courage!

My goodness girl your life trials make mine seem so trivial. And yet you handle it so well! I was a kid who came of age in the 70’s. I was raised on the horrors of both WW2 as well as Vietnam and I had family who fought in both. Want to know how I found your channel? I bought the dvd of the movie “Born on the fourth of July” There was a terrible scene where these paralyzed war veterans were in a understaffed VA hospital and while a popular 60’s song played they were all in the enema room taking care of business. The scene reminded me of a car wash. I thought my God is this what people so handicapped have to do to simply perform their necessaries ? Curiosity on RU-vid got the best of me and your channel came up first. Bless you girl for your perseverance! You already in my mind seem a kindred . I have in my 58 years been hardened to death and suffering after having to watch my mom bury 3 sons. I was the last one standing so when Ma died it was just me and I could not shed a tear at her funeral.. for whatever reason. But I was able to after your bad news vid!? Kind of surprised me! Thank you and good luck in the future .

OMG. . . That pic for the title. . . It looks SO SCARY, like something from the wicked witch of the . . . whichever direction!

Hi Britany! I like organic tampons and other feminine products too. You could also try Cora, L beauty, nature, care, OB, Veeda, Ráyal and many others. Organic is a good brand as well, although I’ve never used it before. I love your channel. I happen to be blind so it’s nice to hear about other disabilities and see how people live with different disabilities and health conditions other than my own. .

I've done a mix of all the things you mentioned in this video. But, due to family history of endometriosis, I did notice that my flow as a child/teen was VERY heavy and opted to just go on the pill w/o taking the placebo pills that come in each "cycle". Life CHANGER!!!!! I will go back off the pill once I'm hopefully married one day and start trying to get pregnant.

Brilliant for normalize that which is normal. So simple yet so hard for society to grasp and educate what is human nature. You are golden!

What you have done with this video is very important, talking about menstruation whether or not you have a disability seems like a social taboo, everything that has to do with "female problems" society downplays them, women's health products such as tampons, pads, etc. are an expense added to the disability, generally cosmetic products such as creams, perfumes, etc. They are much more expensive if they are for women, in addition to promoting that a natural product is better, thanks for speaking clearly 🤗♿💜

Keep the content coming, love from Sweden 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪

So excited that you're getting a more functional bathroom!

I just found your site and I'm going over some episodes. I fell three stories and have mostly bowl issues. That was four years ago. My name is sissina and I live in Canada. Thank you for your helpful videos

Hello, my name is Shawn and I'm from Wenatchee Washington State " The apple capital of the world" I'm a 44 year old guy that has a son that is getting ready to start college at Washington State University this fall but I subscribed to your channel because you are awesome😎 at what your doing and a service and inspiration to more people than you think👍

Well, since we are somewhat old, my wife and I haven’t talked about periods for many years now, but still a good video as you discuss topics others would shy away from. Onto the bathroom renovations, as I really love seeing bathroom & kitchen renovations - we redid our kitchen and all 3 bathrooms over the past 8 years - are you getting a new shower? Or a new vanity? Will the renos mean less gouging of the walls?

By the way, I used cotton tampons as well, and the doctors found cotton in my cervical area. That can lead to horrible infections.

I never heard it called 'shark week' before. I don't understand...why don't you have a suprapubic catheter. They maintain bladder control by use of a flip-flow valve, have less UTIs and they are totally reversible within hours.

i was lucky mine stopped at 35 way before my leg problems.

Hi! I am a 15 year old girl who has to use a wheelchair. I’m not paralyzed, I just cannot lift my leg. I am really struggling with finding things to do and how to deal with life in a chair. It’s all new to me and no doctor really cares enough to help me live life. Do you have any tips?

So awesome and convenient that your zipper is in the crotch of your clothing! 😍 Definitely helps to maintain independence while tending to your feminine needs. I love your beautiful personality and candid dialogue.. You are helping and inspiring so many. ❤

the 15yo paraplegic girl I told you about is nearing her 1yr accident anniversary any advice???

Can you feel the tampon going in or cant you feel that

Did your period stopped for many cycles after the shock of the injury?

TMI

Again, I’m not paralyzed and I don’t have a uterus, but here I am.

In the US Deep South, that area is often called the “taint”, because it “t’ain’t”anus and it “t’ain’t” vagina.
