- We're back!
- We're painting with our period blood again!
- No we're not.
- Okay we're not.
- We're not doing that.
- Just kidding we're drinking it.
- Well, we're not doing it,
but we are doing other period stuff.
- Because dealing with period blood can sometimes be tricky,
especially when you're trying not to get it on anything.
- So this cycle, we're gonna see if we can make it through
our entire period...
- Without getting period blood on anything.
- It's Ladylike, and this week,
we're trying to have leak-free periods.
- So this week, Chantel and I are trying to get through
our entire period without bleeding on a damn thing.
I can confidently say I have never made it
through a period without leaking.
- I can't remember a time where I actually went
completely leak-free on any form of clothing or linen.
- You know, it's not the end of the world
if you leak a little bit.
It's the end of the world if you leak through your pants,
and I've done that before.
- The only pairs of undies that I have
that are completely unscathed
are ones that I have not worn while being on a period.
- Typically I use tampons, mostly,
but ever since painting with my period blood,
and having to collect it with a DivaCup,
I've been using my DivaCup religiously.
- Sometimes we're offsite, on set,
and it's not a situation that I can be
running to the bathroom every two hours,
and so once I started switching over to the DivaCup,
I was like, this is great,
because I've been using it for a year now,
and sometimes I guess I twist properly,
and sometimes I guess I don't twist enough.
So I tweeted out a Twitter poll, and asked people
if they have ever made it through a period
without bleeding onto something,
and most people said no.
- When I saw that she made a Twitter post about that,
I was like, this is a video.
This needs to be a video.
So we waited a month until our ladytime circled back to us.
Here we are, bleeding again,
not pregnant, thank you very much, whoo!
- Can we do it?
Can it be done?
- I'll commit to this.
- The week starts whenever I get my period,
which I think is going to be in a week.
I have no concern, I will be getting my period.
(laughs)
Not dating a man.
- So, I was in Ohio for a family wedding,
and flying back July 3rd.
I'm on the plane, the pilot comes on,
and he's like, "Sorry about this,"
"but we're gonna have to wait for about 45 minutes."
Right then, I started my period.
I just had to sit there, in my seat,
because it's against federal law to get out of your seat
when the seatbelt sign is on,
so I was trapped.
I just bled through the sky,
it was just me flying over America just bleeding.
But, if we're gonna start the challenge when I got home,
with actual period products, I think I did okay.
- I was at an Airbnb for the holiday, and there was a pool,
you know, everyone was just in like short-shorts
and bathing suits and I got my period on day two of that.
- I'm up in the mountains right now,
and I'm not able to drive to go
and get pads and all that stuff.
All I have is my DivaCup, so I was like,
"What the heck, that takes up no room,"
"I might as well pack it."
So with the DivaCup, if you don't twist it
when you're putting it in,
then it has a lot of potential to start leaking,
so I'm gonna try to be very very conscious
of the correct twist method,
especially since I don't have any other
blood armor with me at the moment.
I've gotten very very good at being able to tell
the exact moment that my period arrives,
so like, I was sitting, playing MarioKart,
and I was like, "I just got my period."
So I ran into the bathroom, and got it all taken care of
before I leaked onto anything.
I also readjusted my DivaCup,
and I'm now about to go swimming.
Like I already had to deal with the bloat,
but now I had to deal with bloat, cramps, actual period,
water, swimming, bikini.
And period poops!
So, a lot of women say that when they go in water,
be it the shower, the pool, the ocean,
the flow of their period actually stops.
I've literally bled onto my bathing suit while swimming,
while having a period product inside my body.
Welcome to day two of my period.
I am now back at home, so I'm still using my DivaCup,
however I have pantyliners.
Question.
- Yeah.
- [Chantel] Have you ever gone through an entire period
without getting blood on anything.
(intense music)
- No way.
- [Chantel] How many articles of clothing
do you think get ruined or at least tainted
in some sort of way?
- At least one.
Bedding...
- [Devin] Office chairs, maybe.
- [Woman] Yeah.
- Who knows.
- Are you speaking from experience?
- This hasn't been like a very heavy period.
This has just been a very crampy period.
Have you ever gone through an entire period cycle
without getting blood on anything?
(intense music)
- Probably, I probably have been able to pull that off.
It's hard, if you really wanna avoid getting anything,
you just sort of have to spend more,
because I feel like you need to use more than one product.
- Wings really really help me out,
in terms of making sure that everything stays contained.
Other than that, I haven't had any
like, disastrous situation.
- Obviously, this becomes like a murder scene,
when it's period time.
Just like, all of this.
Usually with the DivaCup, you can change it in 12 hours.
This time, about every other time I went to the bathroom,
I emptied her and did a little clean-up job.
- I'm about to go and check.
Any bit of leakage onto that.
How does that happen?
So, day three, I went over to my parents' house
and was playing with their puppers, Frank and Linda,
and they, of course, noticed that I was on my period,
hence went straight to the vagina.
I was like, fine, this is natural.
No leakage!
Day three is usually pretty tame.
It's kind of like, wrapping up,
and then it's just kind of like the brown blood
for the next two, three days.
But, it's also a very very hot day,
and so it's hard to tell if it's just sweat,
or if I'm leaking.
So, the first three days of my period
are pretty much like the heaviest flow,
and then four and five are just kind of light.
Here are the white undies that did not get anything on!
- I wasn't shooting or working or doing a bunch of things,
I was just kind of like lying around.
Had my period fallen on a regular work week,
I think I would've used a lot more mental energy.
Here's a tour of everything I've bled on in my house.
That, bled on this before, 95% of these.
And quite possibly the weirdest thing
I've ever bled on is that.
That's my cat's blanket.
That's where he sleeps, his little perch.
I had a very rocky start to my period.
I feel like this period's been pretty good.
- So day four is when stuff happened a little bit.
It wasn't a lot, but it was definitely there,
and my underwear is definitely stained now,
so I was like, alright,
you go into the period rotation pile.
I basically buy new underwear
once every single pair of underwear has been tainted.
- I worked out, went to a yoga class,
I've sneezed a lot on this period, I've yawned,
and I really haven't had too many outbursts.
Sometimes when I'm running or I exercise vigorously,
like it restarts secret period,
like an easter egg in a video game.
But not today.
I thought for sure I was gonna leak through in yoga class,
just because you're bending all around,
and I didn't know how my DivaCup would handle that.
Honestly, she did great, she just was like,
holding tight in there, so...
- I wasn't entirely successful in this challenge,
but I've done worse, so I still have yet to make it through
a period without getting blood on anything,
but I am getting closer.
This week taught me, yet again,
that if you try hard enough,
you can do anything you set your mind to,
but sometimes you might not want to set your mind to that,
because you have other stuff going on, and that's okay.
- There are three awful places
in which you can start your period.
A shark tank, that's the number one,
you never want to start your period
when you're in a tank of sharks.
Number two is in an Ikea with no bathrooms in sight.
And the number one worst place to start your damn period
is on a plane about to take off!
So technically, I lost this competition,
but had I not had such a rocky start, I would've won.
- So, leak-proof period, lady-tested, lady...
We did that, cool, and me and Devin tied.
(kisses)
Stay tuned for our next period challenge.
Womp womp.
