I fight dysphotia during periods by thinking how manly periods are. Come on, it includes everything promoted by toxic masculinity! Blood, pain and suffering! Just what men like!
This helped me thank you. I also got a good laugh.
@@robert-p772 glad to hear that^^
I love it. I've never been extremely dysphoric from periods but sticking a tampon in is the worst thing ever literally I can't even do it
Anyone going through this, or are in this situation where they see their period as hell because its not part of who they truly are, or even if they are female and just hate it. My advice get your self on the contraception implant as your period stops ive not had one for over 20 years and you just forget about it for 3 years then get it replaced, the other option is go on the contraception injection but you have to have that regularly but again it does stop your period, just thought id share that option with you 😊
Ok I have a bit of a dysphoria life hack with pads. Basically there are these MENS "incontinence pads" (pee pads but it doesn't directly say that anywhere on the box) that are literally sold at Walmart. Yes they are technically for pee but they work exactly like pads, sticky stuff on the bottom and all, they're super absorbent and they say stuff like "for men's body's" all over the packaging. They are bulkier I've noticed but other than that there's no big functional difference. So this is basically like a bargain version of like getting actual "gender affirming pads" or whatever they're called online. Hope it helps!
Thanks for this so much I'm gonna get that.
Potato Steve thank you

Well, to be fair, it is called MENstruation.
There are reusable fabric pads as well. For those who find disposable pads to be uncomfortably wasteful.
Or just flat out uncomfortable. They're SO much softer and comfortable. The less waste is a bonus, although I think the main reason I actually started using them.
there are moon cups etc as well which are reusable
I recently bought some reusable pads, and they make everything sooo much easier.
Fabric pads are my favorite, they're comfortable, quiet, there's no insertion, and they're very absorbent so they don't need to be changed as often as disposable pads.
DrGrukar McNinjaSixthGun and there's also menstrual cups or some other reusable things
funny story: one time when i thought i was cis i was watching one of those ‘100 years of’ videos, and it was about period products, and how women dealt with their periods through the decades.
at one point it mentioned how men get periods too, and i got so fucking confused because i forgot transgender people were a thing and so many questions were racing through my head because i had been thinking about _cisgender_ men and i was like _wait do guys have periods too? since when? is it different than female periods? did i miss something? why did i never learn about this?_
and i spent the next five minutes thinking males had secret periods that the girls weren’t supposed to know about until suddenly i remembered and i nearly yelled “oH *TRANS GUYS”*
at the top of my lungs
I sometimes use the term "shark week" but myself and my boyfriend (who is also trans) say "subscription" as well, because once I called it "an undesirable monthly subscription" and that's kind of stuck lol
me 2
@Tennessee Country boy Trans people exist
where is the UNSUBSCRIBE box
It’s a monthly subscription that’s very hard to cancel, expires around 50, and is very expensive
U guys need therepy...
as an enby i've found that using 'shark week' instead of 'period' makes a big positive difference. shoutout to the person who came up with it first cause i 100% stole it after seeing it a few times
yeees, shark week! we do that as well!
A term that has somewhat fallen out of use among trans masc people is “Penguin.” It used to be a sort of inside joke, where trans guys and dfab trans* people knew what it meant, but cis people were just confused and didn’t understand. Made for some good laughs.
Plus it's kinda badass?
I call it moonsickness after seeing a beautiful tampon box (look it up lol)
That is awesome!
i call it the monthly sacrifice to satan
that's creative! i love it!
Sam Blake now I don't feel that original lol
I call it that as well
My friend calls it "a bloody c*nt problem"
Me and my friends call it "demon summoning" or "Bloody Mary" because it's funny, our guy friends won't completely understand what that is, and it's easier for me, a trans guy/non-binary, so it's doesn't cause as much dysphoria as I would when I say period. It's weird, but that's how it is.
As a teenager with gender dysphoria, I feel like the worst parts about getting my period is buying pads, trouble getting pads in my boxers, and going to the bathroom during school. I normally wait until I get home to use the bathroom since it makes me uncomfortable to use the women's bathroom but there's no way to wait to change a pad.
Personally, I use tampons and I find they work better. They allow you to wear boxers, and the also allow an 'out of sight, out of mind' feeling. Plus they don't open obnoxiously loudly, so you could easily change them in the men's bathroom
@@YourLocalNirvanaFan I know. That's what I use
I just always hated how there's no bins in the men's room so tampons and pads were even more obvious ☠️
Matthew Arangatta indeed !/
what i tend to do is bring my bag with me everywhere (with small ziplock bags) so i could just chuck garbage into the plastic bags w/o them touching all of my stuff. id throw them out at home then
Tampons are flushable. So are the applicators if you get the cardboard kind. And unless you have super heavy flow or are prone to toxic shock the super-plus ones last all day.
Nykkee Bunny uhm hey, they literally are not flushable. That is horrifically incorrect information.
GLITT EROUS the Tampax ones I get are. Maybe you have different brands? I've been flushing them my whole life and never had an issue.
Also, we should stop saying "feminine hygiene"/"female health"/any other term associating menstruation with femaleness/womanhood. Instead of that, we could say "menstrual health"/"menstrual hygiene".
fopdudel But trans-men are females, so it's not a wrong term.
Gornad Huckshucx it can be invalidating/dysphoric for trans men. periods are uncomfortable for everyone, but feeling more invalidated for something you can’t control during what is usually a very difficult time, feels awful. I don’t think it’s wrong to be inclusive to everyone.
Why?
Fern the plant, it’s trans gender not transsex. Also some women don’t have periods and they were born women at birth, so your argument is invalid
Wow.
There's this word I like in Swedish. It's "Livmoderbärare", and that means like "ovary bearers". Meaning everyone who has ovaries. So when talking about periods, instead of saying for instance "All women get their period" instead you say "all ovary bearers get their period" because not all women get their period and some guys get them.
Crowley Eusford That's awesome
such a cool term
Yees, as a swede i can approve of this
Actually it means uterus-bearers, but indeed, great term
Oh, sorry, I'm not a native English speaker. Thanks for clarifying!
Menstrual cups can be left in for up to 12 hours so if you're able to cope with the insertion idea it does lessen the amount of times you need to change them and think about it. There are some cups out there (it varies from person to person) that are so comfortable you can forget the cup is there :)
Life Without Spoons I've done that. I forgot my cup was there and it overflowed in four hours. I absolutely love it, but I would never advocate leaving it in for a day without a back up plan.
I've heard great things about them but I'm still slightly creeped out by the amount of blood. Like, I'm ok with blood and I'm ok with period blood but the idea of dealing with a cup of it kind of grosses me out.
@Judith, very true! Cup size varies as does the amount of fluid we lose. About 8 hours is my max at the start of my time and I can do 12 towards the end
@Esther, it is kind of gross not going to lie but also kind of fascinating but I'm not sure if that comes from my mum being a nurse so weird medical stuff intrigues me. I wouldn't say it is anymore gross to deal with than a used tampon though
They certainly aren't for everyone :)
having a period as a woman is already sooo sucky, can't even imagine how it is for everyone else... stay strong, my fellow bleeders ✊🏼😂
As a straight female who talks about periods a lot as I raise awareness about gynae health issues I applaud you for talking openly about this issue. I've watched some of your videos and I think its great that you have shared your journey here and hopefully it will help others. Stay happy Jamie. xx
'please dont take a shot for each time i say period'
*takes a shot everytime he says Video*
Yuki Xyon what kind of shot was he speaking of? T?
I was looking for this comment but didnt expect that reply lol
Kasey Marlowe lol
"Period management" - love it. It's a perfect term.
Me and my friends are calling period tsunami...
I guess i don't have to explain why
Your profile pic matches so well 👌
Blythe 👌🏻👌🏻
Niagra falls works well too 👌
Harriet O'keefe true that
Another name for the P word: Voldemort week, cause it must not be named . Also I seriously appreciate this video and it really helps with a lot of my anxiety.
Delsin Rowe the week which shall not be named
I call it the devils week
Shark week
I absolutely love that you had the confidence to talk about this. As an enby it’s hard for me in Carrie week but it’s honestly awesome that we have access to videos like this. Thank you

I want you to know that you being so open and straight forward is amazing! You truly help and at times remove stigma surrounding issues that some would rather be depressed and hopeless rather than realizing it’s temporary! Bless you and much respect 😘
I’m a trans boy. I came out fairly recently and your videos have been really helpful in terms of what will happen when I start treatments and just how to deal with every day life. You may not realise but you’re helping a lot of people through the internet, so thanks.
MENstrual cycle.
Oh my god
Alex Mallia This actually helps me to deal with it. I have no idea why, but thanks :)
I'm really glad c:
NONBINARYstrul.... Damn it doesn't work /:
Great way to get around 👌🏽
My periods used to be extremely irregular for a number of reasons, and would also last around 7-8 days, which was horrible both because of the duration but also because it would just randomly happen unexpectedly. I went to my GP for something unrrelated, but she prescribed me a birth control. It doesn't stop your period from happening. But it made it predictable, which meant that when I near the end of the month's worth of pills, I can start to mentally prepared for my period. It also lasts around 5 days now, which is super nice. So birth control could be something to consider.
As a heads-up, birth control is, similarly to period-products, very gendered and aimed towards females, which can be uncomfortable when you're reading through all the instructions and see "female" a million times. In terms of my overall dysphoria towards my periods though, I'm definitely grateful for starting birth control, and once you've read the instructions once you don't need to read them again.
I thought u can’t take birth control as ftm because östrogene (the German term for the feminine hormone Idk the English term) is contraproductive for testosterone
when i was 12-13, i had my periods really heavilly for up to 3 weeks. no joke! i was extremely tired a lot of the time, and i would wake up in the morning and my bed would be covered in blood!
Well, obviously a trans masculine person won't be prescribed contraceptive pills because they contain female hormones ... It's rather obvious, don't you think?
Contraceptive pills are indeed super helpful in a lot of conditions like endometriosis, but I don't think a trans masculine person would want more female hormones on their bodies.
Honestly you’re such an amazing guy and I love your channel
Girl she is a girl she has periods which only females are capable of
Hahaha she's not a guy and she never will be one a real naturally born man DOES NOT HAVE PERIOD this is nothing but a 'bloody fake" she is clinically insane and as are you...😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉

iAww you seem like you need a hug... it’s as if you need attention and the only way to get it is by being an ignorant person.
And coming to this random person just to attack them? Wow I feel so bad for you!
@@Twilight24682 @ARMY MAN SSG
Even if you were right, which you're obviously not..
You are and will always be an idiot
You say ignorant and absolutely stupid things, and only an idiot is capable of that.
if you think about it, periods are pretty manly. bleeding and feeling hellish pain for days sounds like something a viking warrior would go through
I was just watching an old video when the notification came trough!
I would also like to give a shout-out to all the brothers who suffer from PCOS or other ’down-there’ related things that require extra attention towards periods and that area in general. It’s terrible, but you’re surviving! High-five!
I'm so happy you mentioned how difficult pads can be in boxers because I've never seen anyone address it before. I've destroyed so many pairs of boxers by bleeding through them due to the placement of my pad being off, and it just moving around in general. Winged pads do work better, although I find I still end up bleeding on to my boxers anyways. An easy way to avoid this is to use tampons or mooncups, however I know for some people those items are horrible for a number of reasons (I'm part of that group). I tend to just wear "womens'" pants and just remind myself that it's an item of clothing, it doesn't have a gender, and that I'm only away from boxers for a week. I know that may not help anyone, but, try to remember that the clothes you're wearing do not define you or your gender at all, and at least it's not a visible item of clothing, anyways.
Sometimes I wear boxers over the "women's" pants :^D
If you wear men's briefs like tighty whities a pad can fit in them
My friend wears men's breifs instead of boxers during shark week.
I wear men’s boxers over women’s knickers during that particular time.
seconded, wearing boxers over “women’s” underwear really helps.
I just got my first period and ima trans 12 year old boy and I’m trying to feel better by watching you 😭😭 you cheer me up and periods suck and I hate it 😣
Don't worry, I started mine too, you'll get through this!
Your female not make you have a womb therefore you are female
Male
@@Twilight24682 lol why even come to this video just to be a transphobe? 😂 it’s honestly funny. And I am on blockers now so I don’t get them anymore 👍
I’m a trans guy and today I got my first period. It was very awkward but my mum helped me. I’m so great full for her. In 2 weeks I’m getting hormone blockers so I won’t have to have my period. I’m so excited. Thank you so much have helped me so much
Men don’t have periods study biology
Hey maybe a bit late but I have a question! Can i still get hormone blockers when im in middle of my puberty? (Im 14 years old) or is it only working before i get in the puberty?
@@Twilight24682 well trans man do.
No such thing as trans men they are woman if you have a womb you are woman if you have a penis you are male simple as what don’t you liberals get there is no changing your gender
@@Twilight24682 well some trans man have a p3nis
Jamie, you're so admirable in feeling comfortable to talk about this and inform others of how to manage it. Such a brilliant video, as always ❤
I usually say that I got it chopped off in the war and I have to use gauze to stop the bleeding. That's a fun way to deal with dysphoria.
Dust Star same
Yes! I like him very much :)
I'm now using this as a coping mechanism
@@superm5061 I don't think it was meant to be serious-
@@superm5061 wow, misspelling a slur. New low.
I'm a cis female and loved this video! I hate insertion methods for period management, which so many cis females prefer and will ignore that some prefer not to use an insertion methods!
Btw, if anyone wants to stop their periods, for the most part, I highly recommend an IUD if possible!
Back when I still experienced them, I always called it Satan 'cause it was always hell to go through (especially after I came out as trans)
you provide so much insight and answer all the uncomfortable questions that aren’t easy to talk about, thank you for putting yourself out there and thank you for being a voice for my trans/nb/gender fluid friends 💗
“shark week” is a better frase for that time than “period” in my opinion, it just makes things easier
For pre-T options on stopping periods, ask your doctor about Norethindrone and Lupron. I took Lupron injections as a teen because no one would prescribe T for me until I turned 18. I later switched to Norethindrone pills because I hate needles. I've been on T for years now, so I don't need either one now. Hope this helps!
Mooncups/menstrual cups FTW! I swear you really only have to deal with once a day.
Susie Simmons hell yeah! Menstrual cups are fantastic
Yesssss best decision of my life! Seriously you only do need to empty it once a day and it's much more comfortable than tampons IMO. So nice not having to worry about carrying pads and tampons and changing them in public.
Plus the security of knowing you most likely won’t have to deal with it in public is so amazing.
Thanks, Jamie! You've really helped me accept myself and my body over the years! 3 Tips.
1.This vid of Jamie's applies to spotting, implantation, postpartum and also IUD removal bleeds for non-binary and trans and some intersex people as well. Obviously that area can and does sometimes shed blood for many reasons.
2. There are cloth washable pads and gender-branded "mens'" incontinent pads as well if you want something more absorbent than a cycle pad. With their own other scent. Or just something to cover you to say to a shop clerk - 'where d'you keep grandpa pads?'
3. On feeling cleaner - sometimes the dampness can be dysphoric or distracting. For heavy days or cup changes, having a little spray bottle of clean fresh water can help you rinse yourself in the toilet...down there...you just spray it on an angle that goes parallel/past the outside of your crotch. This can be noisy but can be nicer than scratchy or terribly thin toilet paper. Or just use disposable wipes or carry a sealable freezer/glad bag to take your flannel washer home for laundry. After my child was born i had a cleaned 375ml softdrink bottle i used because i did not like the spray sprinkley feeling and it can be refilled at any tap that provides drinkable water.
I would suggest something like a non-see-through lunch bag that you can store and transport your supplies in, these fit inside most satchels and backpacks and are a nice not obvious, spillproof option.
I'm on my period right now and I'm laying on my bed watching trans videos on TH-cam while crying °^°
This is what I do every month 😑
Same,had my first today, freaked out in dysphoria
same back at it again
Same
Menstrual cups allow you to forget about it for up to 12 hours. Best wishes to all y'all guys with periods.
foreverwantingpie I can never forget about it..(my pain killers can't get rid of my pain fully) but this sounds like it could be more practical (exspecially in school..we have 1 bathroom for 3 schools. Yes. Idk who came up with this brilliant idea either xD)
I love your videos so much. You were my first contact with the concept of ftm, a couple months ago. Now I'm on testosterone and my life has improved SO much.
Also I've been using a cup for a couple years now, and it's amazing. So much simpler than pads or tampons...
And people said
“Men can’t have periods”
Yet here we are
A biological female
@@youtuberlover1233 biography lmao I think you mean biological
@@noahtherandomsatanist6423 yeah
I’m AFAB non binary and mostly femme but I use pads and wear “girl” boxers and pads with wings work best
A menstrual cup can be used for up to 12 hours. I don’t know anyone who is emptying them every 4hrs. There’s a lot of different brands.
this video was super interesting jamie! just to let everyone know, there are many other types of menstrual cups than the mooncup - while mooncup works for absolutely loads of people it is a lot bigger and tougher than some brands, which for trans guys might make the whole dysphoria/insertion thing even harder. other types such as rubycup (which works perfectly for me, though I can only speak as a cis woman), lenacup, meluna and lunette (plus loads more!) come in loads of different designs, sizes, materials etc. which might be worth looking into if mooncup doesn't work out :)
Honestly this makes me feel so much more at ease cos I got my period this morning and I've been having a day of full on dysphoria
I'm a cis female and I just have to say that getting a menstrual cup has completely changed my experience of my period. If they are an option you'd be comfortable trying I really recommend trying one! Sometimes I've even forgotten about my period entirely for a few blissful hours... Well apart from wanting to eat everything in sight 😂
I just started watching some of your videos, I am not trans, but I felt these videos would help me understand and be more sensitive when I come across someone who is. Anyways, I wanted to say I never thought about this! (I don’t know why, I just didn’t). And that I can’t imagine what some trans individuals who through during their period. Such as buying products or changing in public. Much respect!
Thank you Jamie. As a trans guy dealing with "bullsh*t" is horrible. I literally cant talk about it with anybody except people who understand what we go through as men who have periods.
I get incredibly bad dysphoria and get super angry and very depressed. I cant function... its horrible...
But knowing other people understand how i feel with dyphoria and pain, physically and mentally with dysphoria really helps. So to that i say thank you again.
Also as a tip, I still have old "girl" underwear that i dont have issues with pads and wear tight boxer briefs over it to hide the underwear and helps alot with keeping stuff in place. 💪
I totally did take a shot every time he said period 😂😂😂
Saving this video for a party game 😂
even before I came out as trans, I used “monthly evils” :’]]] I’ve never been comfortable saying “period” so I’ve been going by this for a long time and most people can figure out what I mean without me going into detail
There is a new pair of boxers called pyramid seven and they are made for that time of the month
As someone who is very active and really hates my cycle slowing me down I highly recommend a menstural cup! It's a game changer. If blood makes you woozy it can be kinda tough because you have to dump it out but it's so easy and I've never had to change it in public because it can be worn up to 12 hours! (Though when I'm at home I empty it every 3-6 hours because that's really best) to me it's kind of less invasive than a tampon if you can believe it, tampons sit lower and there's always that darn string there to remind you of it's presence, with a cup it's just gone and you don't really feel it until you go to take it back out.
Absolutely love this and that you recommended speaking to a doctor when you didn't know enough about stopping the cycle! Much respect, my friend ❤❤❤
...Sucks
*End of video*
As a female it’s sickly validating to think of men being tortured too :D
WOOOOW I shouldn't have laughed so hard at this 😂
Moon cups can actually be left in for up to 12 hours! They hold so much more than pads and tampons and because they’re silicone they don’t cause TSS so they can be left in so long!
My Nana taught me this one. "Auntie Ruby is visiting."
This was helpful. Also why does his haircut looks so good I’m jealous
I love everything about this video. 100% thank you for sharing! Also I am adopting the term “period management” henceforth!
My trans friend's friend uses the word 'hairbrush' with her friend group so my trans friend is less uncomfortable with it
being trans is so hard but your an inspiration, your such a cool normal guy and it gives me hope 🌟
You’re very intelligent and well-spoken, Jamie.
Me and my friends call our periods "penguins" so that we can talk about them in school without attracting attention. My friendship group is very... weird, so us having a casual conversation about penguins doesn't raise any suspicions.
It's my shark week right now and it's literally killing me. I can barely do anything without being overcome with dysphoria, and I can barely breathe.
One of my favorite items to use during my period is the disposable underwear that’s commonly used for bladder problems. I do occasionally add a pad depending on the flow but not always necessary. The kind I use is quite comfortable, although the band that wraps around your hips is long so usually I fold that in half.
i didn’t even know trans guys didn’t have their female organs taken out during bottom surgery!! always love learning stuff from
you. you’re so positive :)
I’m trans ftm and I don’t bind during Voldemort week (because they must not be named)
Period Management.
That's the sign that should be put up in store aisles.
you really could do a video of periods for beginners! you are so good at explaining it! Im 35 and i wish i watched your video when i was 12!! love you guys!!! shoutout to shabba the most genuine person i have watched on a vlog!! xx
That time of the month is the phrase I use to replace, "period."
Thanks so much for making this vid! I’m cis and I’d never thought about this before. You’re great, made it so easy to understand 👌
thank you, i usally just cry until it stops since when ever i tell my mom my pills aren't working she just says "it was only that one time and it was a one day period" and then wonders why i dont trust her. or the bloody doctor doesnt pick up the phone. this does make me feel better, you always make me feel better. well you, one topic and the click of course with some markipler on the side, i mean it. thank you for this. i did nothing but cry this morning because of it not even going down stairs. you truly are a good person
One of the worst things about googling around for tips about things like menstruation and sexual health is the cissexist language. Videos like yours are a real valuable resource for trans kids especially! I've said it before, but I wish I'd had them growing up. It's so, so nice to hear someone recognize that not everyone who menstruates is a woman.
When I get my period, I announce to my partner that I have become a werewolf. I like the idea that being able to bleed for days at a time makes me mythical.
5:24 *breaks out the whiskey and start the video over*
jk, i don't even drink
you need to know origami to use moon cups m8
Jamma Rays not really, they’re really easy to fold :)
One of my friends the first time they got there period was at Joanns fabrics so now whenever they gets there period they say that there at Joanns
When he said pants at first I was like sir I don't think that's a good idea! But then I remembered pants are underwear 😂 not slacks. Great video Jamie!
I'm a guy currently on his period and honestly it's the worst. I personally find tampons help because whilst the whole "insertion" thing is a bit weird, it means I don't have to see what's going on and I can pretend it's not happening for a little while
masonisaloser im a cis female and i cant even deal with whats going on. But i cant do tampons
Me as well rn
Honestly, pads are the most disgusting thing ever. Tampons are so mich more comfortable.
As a cis woman, I preffer tampons but cant always wear them bcoz
1. They hurt to put in and out
2. They wont hold the flow for too long, so they end up getting blood in my underwear
3. Bigger, more absorbent tampons hurt the walls of my vagina
4. SO MESSY TO TAKE OUT, BLOOD IN HANDS, AND THEN I HAVE TO TOUCH MY PANTS WITH MY BLOODY HANDS.
Lily Espinosa how the hell do you get blood all over your hands? You must be doing something wrong. Also why are you touching your pants with bloody hands? That’s just eeew
For people who want a word for periods other than periods, my friend (who happens to be agender but was not out when they came up with this) started calling them 'Moon Moon Time'. My friends have also started using 'Werewolf Time'. I usually only mention it to my girlfriend (typically ranting about cramps\dysphoria) but I generally just vaguely describe it as something along the lines of 'that monthly blood thing'. ... Except it stopped being monthly and started being every other week. So that's not great. I'm thinking anxiety rather than cysts though because there was a simultaneous increase in panic attacks. Yeah... But I'm working on it.
Simply Vince damnit moon moon! th-cam.com/video/S1DFwxV1qwY/w-d-xo.html

Moon time, I like that
Simply Vince these names give a strong/epic view on it, I love
Horemonal IUDs and other forms of birth control can stop your period. Almost all forms of Horemonal birth control will make it hurt less (ie. Reduce cramps, headache, mood swings ect.)
I hate the word "period" lmao I just say "the devils rain is among us" and my friends are just like oh shit time to prepare for a mess
I go to a very close minded school, and live in a slightly transphobic household. It’s difficult, because I haven’t come out fully yet and I can’t use the men’s restroom if I’m with them. But I needed this video, thank you
you posted this at the perfect time thank you so much
i just pretend that my period is getting rid of my female hormones to make room for more testosterone (i know it sounds dumb but a boy is trying to get through this)
i call my period "werewolf week" :')
"Nonbinary people can have periods" yay I feel so happy whenever anyone mentions nb people
summerisanerd You should watch Thomas Sanders, then.
Jenny oh I do! thanks for the rec tho!
I use lunapads (maia brief) and it's super cool. I'm glad we have the period pants option out there. The super super cool thing is that they have a boxer option wich can be great for people who like more "masculine" pants while dealing with menstruation. :)
ah, yes, the *pain train*
I’m ftm and I just call periods (ugh I hate that word slyschff) the cycle of doom.
just wanted to add onto the list of something to replace 'female pads' - men's pads for urinary leakage (TENA is the brand I have come across recently, but I'm sure there are others) are like regular period pads but they are bigger and fit nicely into boxers, so you can avoid wearing female underwear. they come in different sizes and the guide on their strength is similar to female pads, e.g. super light, light, medium, heavy, heavy plus, etc., as well as their sizes (I've only seen medium or large). I haven't got a final verdict about them yet, as I'm still trialling them, but so far they're really good!
they're packaged individually all the same so you can bring them with you to work or school, and they are exceptionally comfortable. in my local shop they are located in the same section as female hygiene items but they do say "men's" on them and whilst urinary leakage is not the classiest of cover ups, but it definitely would help people who pass as male until they need to do their weekly shop and realise they're bleeding; it helped me feel less anxious, personally, and also customer assistants won't give me more of those weird looks when they see me buying a box of tampons or pads.
so yeah, sorry for the rambling, but just wanted to share!
Being trans myself this is really helpful as I have to wait 4 more years until top surgery
I love the idea of having a specific word for yourself to replace "period", I didn't think about that before! I haven't had one since starting T, but I'll keep this in mind should it come back for revenge. Much love to you and Shaaba!
Don’t forget about reusable pads! They’re a great option imo, less expensive than period pants, and pretty comfy. Also there are lots of different types of cups besides mooncups. I recommend the channel Precious Stars Pads for both of these subjects.
Well for us transwomen we have a time of the month hormonally do to HRT. We don't bleed but we go through every thing else.
I read about that a few months ago. A Trans woman talked with many others and they reported many symptoms which mimic most of the ones experienced by AFAB folk during their period, which makes sense based on the change in hormone balance. Pretty neat! Well, except when you wanna cry over the tiniest thing, but, hey, that's why the gods invented chocolate. :)
@@danilarsson8685 Exactly chocolate is worth it during that time of the month.
Hey Jamie! I just want to let everyone here know that menstrual cups only need to be emptied every 12 hours..so I think that for guys who have periods this might be REALLY awesome because you will have to deal with it less in public restrooms and in general. If you are ok with insertion I highly recommend them! Thanks for making this video.
I really appreciate you sharing this stuff, I am cis female and I have learnt a lot from your channel. I wish that you would have mentioned more about reusable pads as they are a good option for some (no scent, no noise, much more comfortable), and also been aware that mooncup is a brand - the general name is menstrual cup and their are dozens of brands with different types and sizes. Thanks for the video anyway :)
