- So that's a maxi pad.
- Oh yeah, it's like... It absorbs it.
- Yes, I get a lot of ads.
- Why does that algorithm show you maxi pad ads?
- I don't know. - What're you looking at?

- Chloe, today we're going to talk about periods.
Do you know what a period is?
- No?
- I know what it is!
- Me and Helena seen it in lots of movies.
- Yes. (laughs)
- Like blood peeing
or something,
I don't really know.
- That was pretty close.
- Yeah? - Regionally, it's close.
- A period is blood coming from the uterus
and going to the vagina.
- Your uterus, which is what's inside you,
it prepares your body to have a baby.
- However, if the egg does not become fertilized,
what they'll do is just shed the liner
and make sure all of it comes out.
- You know, soup, and you know how,
if you leave it out too long,
it starts to get like, that skin?
- Yeah. - Isn't that it?
- So a woman's uterus is soup?
- (laughs) No!
- So that blood that's getting pushed out is for the baby?
- To form the baby. If there's no baby,
you have to get rid of the blood from somehow.
- First time you get one, it's like, "oh my God,
there's blood!" But it's not as scary as time goes by.
- What does it feel like having a period?
- It could be not painful. And then one month it could be
like really painful to where you feel like
your tummy right here really, really hurts.
- Do I get a period?
- No.
- No. He has, a boy's body system's different
from the girl's body system. They produce different things.
- Yeah. There you go.
- When did you get your period?
- I was 11. Filipinos, when they have their first period
they take your underwear and they put it all over your face.
Filipinos think that that will get rid of your pimples.
And that's kind of gross, huh?
- Uh huh.
- But I'll do it to you, too.
(laughs) Look at my face, see I barely have pimples.
- Make-up.
- Oh yeah. I have makeup on right now.
- Is this cough drops.
- Very long cough drops?
That's a tampon.
It's like a little mini sponge that goes up there.
- You know, blood comes out of your peepee. Right?
(laughs) And you're going to stick this in there,
and then (funny sound).
- What?
- And then this goes in there, and then when to take it out,
you pull the string. Bloop. There goes your bloody tampon.
(laughs)
- Oh, oh, it's a diaper.
- That's a maxi pad.
- Oh yeah. That's a maxi- Yeah. It's like it absorbs it.
- Yes, I have. I get a lot of ads.
- Why does that algorithm show you maxi pad ads?
- (laughs) I don't know. - What are you looking at?
- Nothing. I'm literally playing like video games
and then ads pop up like that.
- What is that?
- Imagine this being the vagina.
This is say, blood's coming out and it catches it.
Therefore the blood does not get onto your underwear.
Yeah. It's a little bit scary looking.
(laughs)
- But yeah, that's what it looks like. Most of the time.
It smells good. Smells like Hot Cheetos, smell it.
- No!
(laughs)
- I accidentally spilled on the table. Let's just dab up.
- There ya go.
- In the beginning, you'll probably have like a heavy flow.
- When mommy has a heavy period flow,
that means a lot of blood comes out of mommy
and yeah, it really, really sucks,
but this is how mommy's body is.
- What's this?
- I mean, this kind of looks like something from
The Who's by Dr. Seuss.
they kind of look like... - The Who's? They're Who hats?
- They look like, they look like a funnel.
Funnel.
- A funnel?
- Yeah. - Funnel.
- You fold it like this, and then you have to
push it into your vagina.
Yeah.
And it opens like that. When you're bleeding,
the blood comes into here.
And then when you feel like you're full
and then you just dump out the blood, you wash it
and then you just keep reusing it.
- Look, touch it.
- No.
- "Touch me."
- (laughs) No!
(laughs)
- Mommy started my period at nine or 10 years old.
Do you think you're ready to start your period?
- I would say I would be very, very, very nervous.
- You'll be fine.
When you have your periods,
that just means that your body's healthy.
- Is it awkward?
- Yes. - Yeah?
It's normal. Right?
- Mhmm.
- It's better to know now than like, "oh my God!"
And then me running to you with your underwear like, yeah.
- No!
- Absolutely.
(laughs)
- Thanks for getting involved with this and not
being embarrassed and really taking the time to
to get to know what women have to go through.
- Can we keep the hot sauce?
- (laughs)
(laughs)
