- When I'm 14 and I finally have my period,
will you go and buy me tampons?
- Yes, Vanessa.
I'll go to the creepy guy behind the 7-Eleven counter
and be like, "Hey, my sister's having her period."
"Please give me some tampons."
(gentle melody)
- [Both] Hi!
- I'm Talbott.
- Hi, oh nice to meet you.
- What's your name?
- Anne Marie.
- Nice to meet you, Anne Marie.
- Hi, I'm Vanessa. It's nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you too.
- Are you gonna talk about your profession?
- Yeah.
And you're gyn...
- Gina-cologist?
I think it's onicologist.
- So I'm a gynecologist.
- Dang it!
- Yeah.
- What part of the body do you think I focus on?
- Can I say this?
- A vagina.
- Vagina.
- And ovaries.
- Ah ha.
- Anything else?
- Do you work on penises too?
- Not really.
- How about breasts? Like those.
- [Anne Marie] Yeah, breasts.
- So generally female extremities?
- Yeah. Female reproductive structures.
So tell me all the things you know about
the female reproductive structures.
- The cervix, the labia, the clitoris.
- Oh, the ovaries and then there's the...
- Oh the fallopian tube.
- Yeah, the fallopian tube and then...
Oh crap.
- Okay.
- Try to draw all the structures of
the reproductive tract that you can remember.
- I do see ovaries. - This is an egg.
- Yeah, ovaries.
- And this is a fallopian tube right here.
- Mm-hmm.
- You just drew that, cheater.
- And then this is like a little space that I don't
know what it's called and then that's the outside folds
of the vagina and then there's the clitoris.
- Mine kinda looks like a frog and this is the woman.
- Alright, you wanna see?
- And she--
- Ahh.
So which one was more accurate?
- Well they're both special in their own unique ways.
(laughter)
Both of them have a uterus.
I don't, I've never seen eyes on either a uterus so
you both got that kinda wrong.
Who started puberty first?
- I think I did, yeah.
I started in like, fifth grade.
- Yeah, most girls start first.
- Wait, I got my first pimple in fourth grade.
- Talbott, that's 'cause you didn't wash your face.
(laughter)
- Yeah.
When I was little, I used to call them tampoons.
(laughter)
- I have a question.
- Don't look.
- How does a tampon go in a vagina?
Is that a tampon? - So this tampon...
- Yeah.
- To put it in, you kind of put it through,
at the entrance of the vagina and you put it all
the way in so that this little area is sticking out
but the rest of it's in.
You push this in.
- Oh.
- And then see what happens?
- Uh huh.
- That part comes out and then you pull this out
and this stays in the vagina.
- Hmm.
- And then the strings just hang out.
And then you can pull it out like that.
And then the blood collects in here and then
you can put it in the trash.
- Is that an egg?
- No
- That's a Diva Cup.
And people put their period blood in it.
- Well you've watched a video on it.
- Pchh
(laughter)
Like that.
- Now you can kind of...
- You have to fold it?
- Fold it so it'll fit.
- Mm-hmm.
- And then kind of push it inside the vagina
- So it's kind of like a funnel?
- And then it sort of opens up.
- Oh.
- So that nothing hangs out and then the uterus is gonna...
- Oh it collects in the cup then.
- Yeah, so the blood goes straight in there.
- Yeah.
- And then when it's time to take it out,
you just king of pull on the little... you can pull it out.
- Wait, will there be a hazard of the blood
spilling out of here?
- Yeah, so you're just better to do it in the bathroom.
- So we talked about tampons,
so how do pads work?
- So you put it on your underwear.
Then you take off this little sticky
and then you can wrap it around the side of the underwear.
- Mm-hmm.
- And then you just leave it in your underwear
and pull your underwear up and...
- So for like people who like, really are opposed
to like, putting things inside their vaginas,
is this like their option?
- Oh yeah. Yeah, and a lot of, you know not everyone
wants to use a tampon.
- Mm-hmm.
- There are, you know, women who decide they don't
ever want to use a tampon, they use pads.
- Do some people think that you can get pregnant
by a tampon?
- That's a misconception.
- Yeah.
- So you don't have to worry about that.
- Mm-hmm.
- Alright!
- Thank you, it was great to meet you.
- Yeah, it was super nice to meet you.
- Yeah you too.
- Thank you so much!
- Yeah, nice to meet you.
