i keep getting recommended these all
over youtube so i know you're getting
them as well
and i just thought it might be fun to go
through them mostly because i'm bitter
that they didn't choose me as the ad
doctor with amy schumer
i tweeted that and tampax said maybe
next time so i figured if i give them
some free advertising by going through
all of their commercials in one place
maybe that would put me up higher on
their list to be chosen as the ad doctor
next time
[Music]
people think that maybe you can lose
your virginity
from putting a tampon is that correct no
but what if it takes you out to a
beautiful dinner
and then like a concert and then
you go home together no okay
actually i really like the ad doctor and
i'll let them keep her i
i give a vote of confidence to the ad
doctor let's talk about a couple of
things that she brought up
losing your virginity because of a
tampon obviously this is nonsense
not only is virginity a socially
constructed idea
basically created to shame people
into avoiding sex until they are married
which if you decide to do that that's
fine but it shouldn't be because
somebody told you
not being a virgin when you get married
makes you shameful or dirty
that's a whole different video though
the idea that you can't use a tampon
though if you haven't had sex is
something i hear brought up more often
than this idea that
tampons make you not a virgin that's
really not true anyone can use a tampon
it may take a little bit of effort to
kind of learn how to do it and maybe
rarely there will be someone who does
have
a hymen that is so intact that a tampon
can't go
past it but that is pretty rare even for
people who haven't had intercourse if
you're
interested in learning how to use a
tampon you can ask somebody in your
family or if you're not comfortable
doing that there's lots of videos online
maybe i'll make
how to use a tampon video at some point
or you can even just go in and talk to
your gyn doctor and they can help you
out with that as well okay so my friend
told me that you can't sleep with a
tampon
in a tampon doesn't know if you're awake
or asleep no matter what time it is
change it every eight hours put a new
one in at bedtime and just change it
when you wake up
okay but what if you sang it a lullaby
and you rented a book
i one time lost a tampon in my vagina i
just put it in
and it was never to be found again and i
hired a private detective
and they never found it where do you
think it went heaven
that did not happen the cervix acts as a
barrier between your vagina and your
uterus
that was a trick question because
anybody can get a lab coat
can a tampon get lost inside your vagina
the answer to this is
yes no so it can't get washed like she
said where it never comes back
there's nowhere for it to go the vagina
is essentially a blind pouch meaning it
goes to an
end and the cervix is there between the
uterus and the vagina to keep anything
from getting in
you can't get a tampon past that however
i have had patients who put a tampon in
and either couldn't find the string or
the string broke or
it just got lost in there they had sex
with a tampon in and then it went
missing
most of the time you can still find that
at home but i want to normalize the fact
that i have had patients
who put a tampon in and then couldn't
get it out and that happens to you
just go to your doctor or your advanced
practice provider let them know what
happened so they can help you out
we would much rather take care of that
earlier rather than later
don't wait long long long amounts of
time before you get some help with that
trust me it's not pleasant for anyone
involved when they've been left
way too long even in the absence of
toxic shock syndrome tampons that are
forgotten for
long periods of time are no fun for
anybody i brought this from home
and i stole this from your bathroom now
tell me if i'm doing this right
so i just kind of put it in here like
this
hold it at the grip hold it at the grip
and insert from the tip
okay to the grip before you plunge right
oh so just the string is hanging out
that's it if you don't get it in far
enough
you'll feel like you need to waddle you
hurt
put your put your finger finger and just
push it a little more
what i always tried i kind of went into
these thinking i was going to be super
annoyed because when they come across my
youtube i
am kind of annoyed but now that i'm
watching them it's actually
really great information and i need to
applaud tampax for
making commercials obviously this is
advertising i'm not sponsored by them
but obviously these are advertising
but i do want to applaud them for
providing really good information in
their
in their advertisement if a tampon is
bothersome you feel like
you can move and feel it then she's
right you need to put it in a little bit
further and that's very easily done
just by using your finger because
usually what's happening is that you
have the vagina and it's
long and then the cervix is at the top
and you just need to push this
the tampon in just a little bit further
so it's very easy
don't be afraid it won't hurt anything
you're not going to harm anything just
just push it in a little bit further so
it gets in the right place this is the
most common thing i see
with teenagers who are trying to use
tampons for the first time
and can't make them comfortably fit
start with the smallest tampon you can
find
and make sure you get it in all the way
okay so tampons are full of like toxic
ingredients that are just all getting
absorbed straight into my vagina and
like going right up to my brain right
no there's a lot of misinformation out
there what about those fancy organic
ones
tampax makes those too and they're all
equally safe what about dioxins
nope pesticide not bleach no gluten no
guacamole no should we order in yeah i
i like that doctor i want to be her
friend tampax doctor if you're watching
this
i want to be a friend come on my channel
we'll talk about it this is really great
information it's something i see online
all the time
there are so many people who are saying
that certain things in tampons are going
to kill you
and it's just not true i mean there is a
risk of toxic shock syndrome with
any kind of tampon but that is
incredibly rare
and for the most part tampons are
incredibly
safe so what is the difference between
the organic ones or just the regular
non-organic ones this is a personal
preference i have had patients who tell
me they switch to organic
and they feel like they get less
infections or they have less cramps or
whatever
and that's totally fine but that doesn't
mean that the non-organic ones are
inherently
dangerous if you choose the organic ones
totally cool if you choose not and they
don't bother you
totally fine there is no supporting
evidence that anything
in these tampons is going to cause you
harm and they certainly are absorbing
through your vagina
to your brain tss that means
tampon string showing correct toxic
shock syndrome that is exactly what i
said but go on
tss is serious so there are three things
i want you to know
you're more likely to die from getting
struck by lightning then tss
that that's comforting doctor you can
get tss when you're not wearing a tampon
you can get it wearing pads or cups even
men can get it
it's treatable if you have flu-like
symptoms and even think you might have
tss
remove your tampon go seek medical
attention
and tell the doctor you're worried you
might have tss oh i'm gonna tell
everybody
one more thing it's best to use the
smallest tampon size for your flow what
if i wear two tampons it's not feeling
edgy what
no yeah great information i don't really
have a whole lot to add about that toxic
shock syndrome
presents with flu-like illness it is
incredibly rare but it's important that
we catch it and treat it
if it is there if you start feeling bad
while you have a tampon in particularly
if you spike a high fever or you feel
like you're coming down with the flu
take your tampon out and seek medical
care hey
do you happen to have a tim a tampon
sure what size
[Music]
there's more than one size yeah
super grand canyon it's about your flow
okay it changes so should your tampax
only tampax has five sizes
and a leak guard braid if it hurts to
remove go down
leaks go up nice super regular
that's my combo time to tampax what's
your combo
okay that one was less funny and more
annoying but it is still really good
information tampon sizes are based on
how heavy your flow is
most of the time you will need something
a little bit lighter on the first day
heavier on the next few days and lighter
at the end
is all very individual so all you need
to know is exactly what they said
if it hurts to take it out you need to
go down if it is leaking you need to go
up or change it sooner
oh no someone just got her period
what size you need wait there's more
than one size
yes your flow changes then so should the
size of your tampax
huh only tampax has five sizes and a
lead guard braid if it hurts to remove
go down if it leaks go up okay
if that isn't me every time i learn
something new i don't know what is
i went ahead and said the commercial
wasn't funny earlier and now i find it
funny i honestly went into this because
please don't hate me but i find amy
schumer
she can annoy me sometimes but these are
pretty good
it's come to my attention that i have a
vagina that i know very little about
and i'm not alone so i'm here with
tampax to talk to people and find out
what we really know about periods
and vaginas because when we don't talk
about them we don't learn about them
let's go i feel like that's going to be
my new tagline for this channel
i'm here to talk about vaginas because
when we don't talk about them
we don't learn about them amy schumer
don't sue me i'm taking your tagline
hey amy hi doctor uh it's just an
informational visit you don't need to be
in a stirrup oh
okay if i could count how many times
people have done that
all the time that is not a joke people
do that all the time and it's fine
i think people are just like this looks
like a comfy way to say periods are
normal
just like other bodily functions hey
just the butt cream for my butt
enough is enough we are women we get
periods
it's time for us to have no shame in our
tampax game one box of tampax please
well you don't have to announce it
okay no actually let's do it let's do
this this lady's buying a box of tampons
totally fine to celebrate your period
also totally fine to just be
neutral about your period i do wish
tampons would be slightly more
gender inclusive because there's lots of
people who
have periods who would like to not be
called a woman but
aside from that i like that tampax is
celebrating
people who have periods so i really went
into this planning to
not like amy schumer and want to take
the place of the tampax
ad doctor however i really liked
most of those commercials i think they
did a great job of giving good
information of addressing misinformation
and of adding a little bit of humor i'm
sorry to disappoint you if you thought i
was here to
say how cringy it was because when i get
those ads in my feed when i'm trying to
watch
i don't know a danny gonzales video then
i'm like oh that was
out of place but at the same time that's
where they have to go to get the
information to the people who need it
and now that i'm watching them with my
doctor eyes
i actually really like the information
they're giving thanks for being here
today y'all i hope that you learned
something i will link some other
reaction videos in the playlist over
here
they are the best mixture of education
and entertainment
on the internet just like take my word
for it don't look for other
other examples just take my word for it
be kind to each other i will see you
next monday
