When Tick and I were watching the video we were hopeing they wern’t going to cover that. 
Thank Og they didn’t!
Amen to that!
Indeed it was, when I watched it with Gemma it was indeed very, very red. It was at this precise moment, along with Gemma’s “Pfft. Only that little bit.” that I gained an infinitely greater respect for women.
Women have periods every 4 weeks that last 3 to 4 days.
Mens are weak and inferior and I for one welcome our new feminine overlords.
As for the Dad, well I reckon years of solely estrogen for company has either made him fully prepared to talk about feminine problems or have simply corroded his mind into a soft, feminine goo that can only repeat those things his wife and daughter instruct him to. I’m going for the latter.
Feminine Overlords!
Band Name!
I nearly threw up when she showed her the used one… My sweet and sour chicken just didn’t look the same afterwards…
Quickly. And moments later, a football game blares loudly from the TV in the other room.
Harrumph. It’s a part of the human body. 51% of the planet somehow manages to deal with this at some time in their lives. I’m a Dad. My daughter turns 13 in 2 weeks. About 2 years ago, she asked me what a tampon was. -shrug- She was more comfortable asking me than her Mom.
I took her into the bathroom. Found one. Sat down. Showed her by using my fist as a “place to put it” ***** how it is inserted, then with a trickle of running water from the sink, how it flowers open from one end, capturing the blood and tissue. Then, how it’s gently tugged out.
She said, " Okay. Thanks". And…that was that.
Mortified at picking up period supplies? Good lord. Get a grip. These are the same men who will assume their wives will change their soiled adult diapers when they’re 89, yes?
:rolleyes: They need to grow up a little bit.

*****Couldn’t resist the urge either, at that moment, to raise my hand up, clench a fist softly so there was a tiny opening, and say, " Okay honey, this is your vagina". She smirked appropriately.
I’ve never understood this either. I remember when I was around 15 or so I’d have to get tampons and pads for my mom and sisters if I was doing the shopping that week. What’s the deal with guys being embarrassed? It’s not like anyone’s going to think the guy is using the stuff.
Wow. Good for you Cartooniverse! As far I can tell, my dear papa has never realized my body passed the age of eight.
And duffer? Men do so use tampons! They are the perfect thing for when you’ve got a cut between your little toesy-woozies.
And a cotton ball wouldn’t work because…?
I know a guy who uses pads!
He says they’re great in a baseball cap for collecting forehead sweat.
“I did it all by myself!”
“That’s great, Jill. When your period comes, you’ll able to put on a pad all by yourself!”
I thought the period calendar was kinda creepy. “Just write your name here, Jill…”
How does he explain the wings?
What???
Okay, I watched the video, but I’m still confused about one thing: How does the blood get out from inside your body?
Honestly… :smack:
It comes out of an opening between your legs. Every four weeks. For 3 to 4 days.
I think you should watch it again and keep watching it until blood comes out from an opening between your ears. 
My comments:
Jill seems kinda young to be putting her name down on the period calender. I mean, she looked like she couldn’t have been more than eight. I know some girls start that early, but chances are Jill had another three or four years left before she really needed to be concerned. Is she supposed to be practicing putting the pad in her drawers for the next three years? Way to enjoy your childhood, kiddo!
Jill seemed fascinated with the blue side-white side of the sanitary napkin. Why did the writers put that into the script? To confuse the mentally disabled? To make the non-mentally disabled laugh?
They could have gotten something more blood-like for that used pad. Blood isn’t that thick and red.
I laughed when the woman struggled when she was pulling up her panties. Not once, but twice! I think she deserves an Oscar simply for not laughing out loud.
I’m glad that Jill and her family have no hang-ups about talking about periods or openings between the legs, but I wonder how many mentally disabled girls watched that thing and left believing that their own families would be just as open, only to be disappointed.
OK, do none of you ladies remember Special Gym Day? You know, that special fun day in school when the girls’ gym teacher showed the film about you know… mestrooo-ashun? Of course the film wasn’t as explicit as this one. I still remember coming home and telling my mom “We learned about periods today! When am I gonna get a period? Am I gonna have to wear that weird belt thing like in the movie? Where do you get a belt like that? Do you have a belt like that? Does it come in pink?” And on and on until daddy came home from work.
I’m not a female, but I have a mother. What freaking belt are you talking about??? If it’s a “sanitary pad” (heh), then how would you get it confused with a belt?
I looked at mine today. I don’t have a blue side and a white side! Both sides are white!
Now what do I do? 
If you have a mother, she could probably tell you that, once upon a time, sanitary pads (formerly known as sanitary napkins) did not always come with adhesive strips to hold them in place. The pad covering extended a couple of inches on each end of the pad (beyond the cotton batting), thus leaving two handy “tails” of sorts (picture a banana with two stems). The unfortunate woman who had a period (as, of course, all women do) would don an elastic belt with two truly evil clips on it. Each of the “tails” was pulled through one of the clips, thus holding the pad in place.
Those clips could really dig in when you sat down. 
Also, the pads were more or less uniformly the size of logs from an old growth forest.
Before the adhesive pads appeared, they were held in place by sanitary belts .
As to the calendar, that’s the least creepy thing in the video. A lot of women keep track of their periods on the calendar, so that they have an idea of when to expect it, and when to know they’re late. Mine always comes about 2 days after the previous month’s date (so if last month was the 14th, this month will be the 16th, etc.) and after a while it gets hard to remember when the last one was.
