bleeding through is totally okay! #periodtips #periods #onmyperiod

Thanks for watching and I hope you subscribe! I’m still figuring out this whole YouTube thing though, so comment if there are questions you have + videos you might be curious to watch!

I’m trying to post daily vlogs and have this be a place where we can talk more deeply about topics that short-form content can’t encapsulate in just 30-90 seconds.

Say hi on social @nadyaokamoto

Listen to Tigress, my podcast!

Texas has voted to get rid of the tampon tax!!! ((along with taxes on many other products)) bill 379 and had full bipartisan support in both the house and senate. the bill has yet to be signed by the governor (as it was only enrolled on the 29th) and would go in affect on september 1st 2023. this is exciting news and should help to end period poverty in texas!!

One of the MANY reasons I cant wear white😂 I ALWAYS find a way to stain it

[alexandracoty]

I love this video :) that sucks to get your period in a white dress tho

[smileycourtney]

I remember getting my period in the end of 4th grade 😭😭 - Wish I was lucky enough to have it later like the rest of you girlies!!😭

I got my period on the last day of 2nd grade. I wasn’t scared, because when I was 5 years old I did my due diligence and realized that I wanted to know how and why my body works. I was wearing white underwear, I went to the bathroom, I saw the blood and thought "Oh, my period. This is a little early, but okay."
Lucky this was one of the only times my mother came to the party and I told my mother "Mom, I think I got my period." My mother wanted to check, she agreed and gave me a panty liner. The lesson of story is be proactive and understand your body. DON'T wait for other to explain something to you, but they probably won't explain well or accurately.

I got my first period in the middle of ninth grade. I felt so freaking late, didn't realize how heavy they really are, and did bleed through a little a couple times but ended up ok.

something that kinda sucks is i got it in 4th :(

[snxdon]

I got my first period at a 5th grade Halloween party (on Halloween) and I was in an inflatable T. rex costume 😭

I am in my junior year of high school and I just now got my period! I could swear I was never going to start and actually had a dr appt for a week later! Glad I finally started!

I think the government should provide period products for free if women want to apply for them. Like we can get a 1 year worth of products every year and a tax rebate if we apply for the menstrual cup only. That way women can still choose if they want to buy products in the store like if you have preference but women who may not be able to afford products have free options. Also, I think medical professionals and the government etc. should promote the menstrual cup to the younger generation They are safer and a more cost-effective, less waste.

Bro, I am so mad because my school doesn’t have a health class so it doesn’t teaches about this stuff so when I watch you you’re like my health class or something and it makes me so happy that you’re so confident I. Love you ❤

The way her smile dropped when she heard about the 8.25 tax, but bro that’s crazy like these are literally necessities

[mollywoolfson]

I got my period two years ago when I was 14 all my friends had theirs already so I felt peer pressured and in faith grade we had a puberty class so I knew what to expect I remember it was in December of 2020 and I got home from my grandma's house and saw it in my underwear and was like oh I have this now good

that's my period story

[HealingIsOk]

[kinsandchan]

[snc_luv]

[Aleheather]

I got mine in 5th grade 😭 I got up to ask the teacher something and everyone was laughing 😩 it took me 4 days until I could get the courage to go back to school

[Preppy_]

We did the pink tax too!! ❤😂we did it in 6th grade

[Rose_mc]

The funny part is I don’t have my period but school has educated me a little bit, but my sister is the real one that has told me everything

[maiohmaiiii]

Dude same for me. I didn’t get mine till 8th grade either. Except I have a fear of blood… so I was not excited at all…
