I love how u teach kids abt period products
Yesssss more girls need this
I thought my 10 yrs old friend about a period so she wouldn’t have to be confused when her teacher was explaining it
dude that’s so good!
I feel like you should’ve let the parents explain that to her.
@@fleurfairee some parents never teach their daughters about menstruation.
@@hellokaylee2977 That is very true but they might’ve been planning on teaching her themselves, and I feel that if you were to do that you should’ve checked with the parents first.
@1_am_Yes truee
Bro i'm 16 and was never taught how to use one thank you!
I love how kid friendly this teaching is
what the fuck did you want her to say? it’s a tampon dude. do you also think sex ed shouldn’t be taught because it’s too inappropriate?
I'm scared to use a tampon
Me too! And Im leaving for a trip tomorrow! 😩
@@charcharli3I recommend getting period swimwear if you go swimming, they work really well
@@itsxdney8182 Tysm! I’ll buy some rn!
i was scared too ngl lol
If your young please don't use a pad
This is a perfect example of an amazing parent, she's teaching them about periods young, she teaches them clearly and in a fun and cute way, we need more parents like this. ❤❤
She isn’t their mother tho.
@@unicornsare2kool then who is she to them?
@@RobotModelNBEEPBOPBOOP idk some little girls, maybe her friends kid or something.
This should be what schools teach little girls. Instead of teaching us to be ashamed of our bodies and periods
your school taught you to be ashamed of that ???
@@bald_reindeerzz they acted like it was some secret disgusting thing
My school teaches abt periods and purpedy and i am happy abt it we even have separet times thar boys go first and they get thought abt boys purpety and than girls and than girls get to know abt girls purpedy :D
I'm so glad you taught them early. I didn't learn till a few months after mine started becoming regular
Yass I was taught everything when I was 7 I'm soooo grateful because when I started a few months ago I was not scared at all my mom had bought me some pads and had me put them in my bottom drawer when I was 9 so I simply went to her asked which one I should use she came into the bathroom showed me and asked if I have any questions then after left ♡ best mom everr
This is how everyone should teach
I'm 15 and I dunno how to use one 💀 but I don't really want to, so it's alright
i’m almost 20, same here. tried them twice, hated them twice, there’s no shame in sticking with pads (no pun intended)
Im 15 as well and im too scared to. Idk why but the thought of something go up inside of me, including for long periods of time, just scares me. Plus i didnt know how to use one until today, and inly recently learned that we have 3 holes not 2 😭😭
so cute, and good they learn early
Maybe start with pads then tampons I wouldn't want them experimenting by themself
Queen, you need to teach more little girls, more boys about periods. I havent got mine yet but I LOVEEE your videos❤
this is very important to teach younge children about this
Never to young to learn
oh HELL yeah. i love to see this
Her version:“You put your third finger there”
My version: “You put your third finger there and you YEET it up your backside
All my mother did was slap on a pad on my undie when i first told her i got my period (after month 2 cause i was terrified of telling her cause that's how shitty our trust is). That's about all the work she ever did, since then I've learned everything on my own from trial and error 💀 I'm 20 now and she has still never told me any advice on menstrual stuff. Only that tampons = promiscuous. Which is so fucking erroneous but now i use cups anyways, she'd probably go crazy of she knew this
It's more easier to teach and visual with a water bottle . (Just trying to help)
Yes! I will show this to my daughters.
I’ve only used a tampon once in my life at my friends house because we were going to go swimming. She didn’t really tell me how to use it so I just put the whole thing in there plastic and all. No wonder it was so uncomfortable! 😅Nowadays I might try it again and do it right.
They will thank you so much when they are older
I did not know how to use a tampon when I did for the first time and my mother shamed me a lot about my period. I just wanted someone supportive like you in my life!
Thanks for helping my daghter
Thats your daughter?
@@Zpider_kittyI think she means that maybe her daughter (who is not the kid in video) was uncomfortable and she didn’t have a good way to explain it’s so this vid I helped her child
I was taught this when I was younger so I wouldn't be so scared do you use tampons now
Knowing some girls don’t have access to this type of education when it is so important for girls and boys, seeing more people teach about periods and how to properly use feminine products makes me so happy
Bro me if I ever kids 😭🥹 I was never taught this stuff and had to figure it out and on my own and a little bit of friend help. Growing up without a mother figure is tough.
This is what society needs
Too young.🙄🤦🏼♀️
the age periods start drops basically every year, do your research before saying bullshit like this
Can you legally adopt me
Me tooo🙏🏽
It's so good that you teaching them
You should visit schools to educate some more students
I love love love this 👏
Im 14 and still dont have my period and i was scared cause i didn't know how to use them but thanks to you i now know. Just one question, does it hurt when you insert it of if you run with it in?
You may feel it moving a bit if you are active but overall you can't feel it and it doesn't hurt if inserted correctly
Tbh, I think its actually really good that you teach your kids about this, cause you never know when their period is gonna happen!!
I love hows shes teaching kids at a young age about period and period products and what the products do . And i also love the fact shes uses proper anatomy likd " vagina " it makes me happy she didnt say anything like hoo ha or private.
If my mum ever taught me to do that, I will tell her ummm Mum are you okay? Do I need to call Dad ? Because you’re acting a little bit strange.
It’s great you’re teaching your kids about periods and period products
Don't use tampons anymore how about we save the environment and use cups and period pants
Please come to South Africa in Gauteng Johannesburg
I am so glad that you made this video and teaching girls like me and them about periods
But when the get older than they can use tampons!!
But they should do pads ! For periods !!!
Ummmm there like 7 or 8 you don’t even need to tell them to use a tampon
their period can start whenever i have a friend whose period started at 5 also you *look* like you’re seven or eight
Bro there’s no age on teaching girls to use tampons there’s no age limit💀💀💀
You can get your period as young as 8 so...
i would never trust myself with a tampon
❤️❤️
Can you do a girl talk??
I showed my best friend how to use a tampon on a bus when we were in 4th grade. We were on our way to a museum and she had just started her first period. I had had my period for about 6 months at the time and I didn’t have any pads with me. All of the girls formed a circle around her so I could help her put a tampon in on the bus. We have been best friends for 15 years now.
(NOT MY STORY) just thought it should be shared 😊
Today i was having terrible cramps and it souldnt stop i was crying 😢
This is amazing! I started my period when I was 11-12 and I was in Mexico visiting family. Nobody had ever gave me the period talk so I was petrified when it came. I didn’t tell anyone because I was afraid that I hurt myself while wiping or that something was wrong with me. I his it for a whole week by stuffing my underwear with toilet paper, did it stop the blood from leaking? Nope. All of my underwear were stained and crusty with blood. When we came back home my grandma seen my underwear in my laundry and asked me if I got my period and I told her I didn’t know what happened. And they just laughed and made fun of me. There are so many people who do not teach their children these things and everyone should be educated on their bodies! Thank you so much for educating young girls on their bodies!
My mom never took me about. She just bought me pads and said one day you could period for a week and a month you will get it and you will start bleeding out your vagina.
Thank so much for giving girls this knowledge
So um… have you come out with a silent wrapper for us in the public bathrooms and at school
Yass love this I was taught everything when I was 7 I'm soooo grateful because when I started a few months ago I was not scared at all my mom had bought me some pads and had me put them in my bottom drawer when I was 9 so I simply went to her asked which one I should use she came into the bathroom showed me and asked if I have any questions then after left ♡ best mom ever
How do you use a tampon without applicator
Use your fingers find the hole make sure it’s string side down put it in the hole push up so the tampon is fully in and your hole closes around it (like half an inch higher than the opening) then take ur finger out and wash ur hand really well
I remember 5th grade they took all us girls for a "period period" & they showed us stuff like this. Then they handed out pads & let us pull them apart to see what was inside
I wish my mom would have teached me abt periods like this 😭👍
What if it gets stuck
They make smaller ones
It has a string you can pull
Also, I hate that parents and teachers save some stuff like this for when they are older because it can get awkward as they are older
Vampire tea lol but also I wish my mom did this!!
I think they need a cup with a smaller openinng to make it more realistic
why are you teaching what looked like to be a 7 year old about using tampons? the other girl looks to young for it too. they aren’t going to remember this and they probably don’t understand it
They will understand, it’s good to teach them young so that when it actually happens they won’t be scared or undereducated on what to do. Like math
This isn’t something sexual and there’s something wrong with you if you this it is.
Bro all she’s doing is teaching them how to use tampons it’s not that serious get over it
i love you are telling them how to use it but my mom say only married people can use it im18 lol
They r too young
No, they're not.
You cannot be too young to learn about periods, you can only be too old.
Ur too young and stupid if u think their too young
“Too young” people get periods. Your point is?
I used pad not tampons cause it will hurt for me so i used tampons
Yessss we need to stop treating periods like a hush hush topic ❤❤
I ❤ normalizing periods and it's great for younger children who will get there periods at some points to prepare them 🫶🏼
Not me learning all of this when I got my period 😭
Love this❤️ so cute and sweet and now they don’t have to be all confused when it happens for them
When u have kids your going to be a great mum
that is cool teaching kids how to use tampons and pads but a tampon at there age is not good for them but ur so inspiring
I love how this was explained besides the comparison to candy and a popsicle lol
Wait next time i hang out with my bestie we will show her little brother how pads work
I love the way she teaches young girl how to use those ❤
I never had a mom to teach me these things that i needed to know,those girls got a good mom
i hope you had their parents permission for this
the dad can be seen in the back of the video for a sec in the beginning. i’m sure she got consent
well duh no shit she isn’t going to show up at a random persons house and record this video
Actually theres 5 sizes
1. Light
2. Regular
3. Super
4. Super +
5. Ultra.
shes talking about her brand
Thank you for teaching younger kids about periods as it is never too early to learn about them 🫶🫶
I’m terrified of tampons
The people in the comments need realize that tampons are not sexual. Anyone even boys can be taught and educated about them . Normalize education
Where the Instagram comments at
american tampons are so elaborate.
Is it safe to use tampons
Yes
Just make sure to change them regularly
Of course just make sure to change them every 3-4 hours.
Can you teach me please
Ok we need this to happen more
Why is she teaching 6 about a period they have a long time till then
They need to learn now so that they won’t be scared
Long time? I had my first period when I was 8 years old and I panicked a lot cause no one teached me about it. This experience happens to millions of girls cause no one educates them. It’s a good thing they teach these kids at a young age.
Does it matter?
Long time? It’s different for everybody I know people who got it at 8 years old
I love how their like 7😅
Soo early
I wish nadya was my mom
Teach um young
Ummmm...... What made you tell them how to use a TPL like ayo😅
Because one day they will need to know.
Are the applicators plastic?
They can be plastic or cardboard and u can even get ones with no applicator and u use your fingers or a reusable applicator
yes they are smooth so they dont hurt!
I think! He age should be 10
Huh
How do you Know when it's done???
Well the box it comes in should say how long it absorbs for.
❤
🤍
Boys watching this be like🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤢🤮🤮🤢🤢🤮🤮🤢🤮🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
No one cares about 10 year old boys comments
aren't you suppose to teach them that when there a bit more older
I mean they could get they’re period earlier
Why does it matter?
I love the whole idea about teaching your kids about that, but I’m my opinion it’s a little too young to teach them about that. I’m not hating at all tho
There’s no age on teaching girls how to do a period my cousin started her period at the age of 6 years old and she didn’t know what to do bc no one educated her bc people thought she was to young to know but now they kinda regretted not teaching her bc she started freaking out she didn’t know what to do
Some girls get theirs periods at 8 or 9 it’s important to teach them young so they know what to do when they get it hope it helps!
