How much does your boyfriend know about periods?

I'm so beat yeah and then that's yeah right I'm Natalie on Tom we've been dating for three years now turn off three and a half years thanks and today we're going to see how much he knows about periods I feel like you know the emotional side of things hmm because of my experience yeah bye Betty you have no idea about like the logistics I don't know how it works I don't know how you deal with them well firstly you do you think men need to know anything about this subject matter do you think it's important yeah course important otherwise how are you gonna understand what you're going through I think men generally especially if my generation will say we'll make jokes about it and put it down put any kind of bad mood down to it as a way of just like I don't know minimalizing any argument or something but patriarchy yeah something do you know what these three little items are yes go on talk me through it this is a tampon yeah this is a sanitary towel yeah that's fat yeah and this is a moon cup yes so but if you open them up okay have you ever seen inside a tampon no and I've always wondered what happens when you pull that I don't think I don't I shouldn't pull it okay so how would you think to insert that you can use it put in the water sure you have your route of this thing yeah Oh have I gone too far yeah what part goes in let's start this again you pulled it out uh-huh and think of a syringe what's this next thing you do with the syringe yeah pull the string bit no no to insert it you push you push that right Juliet I'm so beat and that's yeah right mm-hmm that goes recyclable no rubbish look at this now I have opened and used one of these before when my friend had quite a bad nosebleed handy yeah he fell on her read what part sticks where it just goes around little bit like kind of nothing no you stick it in your underwear right what do you think these are for these she's better just stick on to your legs maybe that wouldn't be very comfortable it's more of a their wings wings just go around your knickers would you ever not have ban only have that it's a personal preference risky business what do you mean to know what feel like you'd know if that gets for no really didn't you if it's not like you've got a am i overestimating the sensitivity of yeah thanks that yeah yeah okay and this looks like something cap la mer leaves in your house do you know how one might insert it carefully I mean pop pop it in no got a lot yeah no no no as a few options right he fold and then he fold again and then you've got to like crowbar in there and then she opens up then sure there's a hole in the book always not a hole in the bottom no it's not buddy I thought that rain it's not that the bottom to create a suction okay yeah not you know don't ever need to recycle that how much you think each of these items cost so the pad the tampon and the moon cup it should be free preach sister I think that's probably the most expensive four quid it's more twenty pounds plus region how many times you go you saw this thing that you got years of use if you look after it correctly okay I thought it was all you know no no so cuz reform because is technically the material could live in your body it's actually supposed to be good for you and I think three pound fifty not bad both of them are in the two to three pound region a survey in 2015 said women spend about thirteen pounds a month which is 492 pounds a year which also includes painkillers and new underwear when you evidently f it up ridiculous yeah how often do you think you need to change a tampon that's subjective surely no okay why today every four to eight hours do you know what could happen if you leave a tampon in 30 no I imagine spillage yeah it can develop into a very like a rare but life-threatening condition how old do you think girls are when they get their first period 11 or 12 not bad between 11 and 14 what was your first period like she remember my first period was quite traumatic because I'm on holiday you don't know it's coming no you have no idea started my period I was freaking out I was really I was young I was 11 so I don't think we didn't even been taught about it yet I run into my told my mom and then she was like oh my god it's your period and then my mom proceeded to tell my auntie and my auntie proceeded to tell everyone we knew so on top of starting a period and like having this like so huge change in your life everyone's coming up to you being like I hear you're a woman now that's okay but also it's quite good because in Malaysia they like celebrators they give you money I made like 200 quid other than bleeding what do you think other symptoms are how bad do I get mood swings okay a range of emotions right yeah you don't like permit agree yeah we get bad cramps headaches feeling quite sick so you can get yeah cramps PMS food cravings mm-hmm Acme mm-hmm you know when I get spots like every upset about it yeah and then my mood swings it's an annuity period yeah bloating fatigue bowel issues tender breasts that's a big one since to prove sensitive boobs fair enough lower back pain sleeping nor he said do you know what PMS is something menstrual something hey Siri what does PMS stand for [Music] syndrome I think one thing about PMS is is that you feel all of these emotions and then when your period comes you're like oh it's here for me it happens like every single month mm-hmm I'm just so upset or angry and then the period comes on my and I've still not figured out it's because your periods coming it's not you're not in control yeah it's just that you don't understand why you're I think things irritate you way easier or something which has happened makes you react in a much you know in a different way to which you normally would I think a lot of guys would assume that you know if someone shouts at you or quits their job I don't know like what if a woman does that leaking out probably on the joke is all she's probably married you are fully in control is you're just having to deal with a lot of mental emotional and physical pain all at the same time men don't really understand what that is because it's very rare for someone to feel all of those things all in one go yeah so you've got understand that like if we're having a bad day and we snap at you yeah we're on our period but like also probably done something wrong we've also yeah you probably done something wrong and you're trying to just deal with it all and like a snap is is really us controlling our emotions when all of those things and it just slips a bit mm-hmm in my year nine German class my period had started that that morning and I just get the worst cramps and I actually passed out from the pain that's really when how long do you think a period lasts for about four days yeah four to eight days over a general like an average period how much blood do you think is lost half point half a pint ah blood oh my god lovely we'd be bleeding out well yeah but yeah okay everywoman Wow yeah but like that's that's all that much liquid is it it's between 30 to 40 ml yes like a shot double shot yeah yeah rather than hospitalized fine oh no no do you know what endometriosis is what endometriosis endometriosis is a condition which causes severe pain and really really heavy periods and often not often but it can lead to infertility no it affects one in ten women which is quite a lot MPs are currently doing an inquiry into the Gish into the condition because women with the condition have not been believed in the past on average in the UK it takes seven and a half years sweet I like nice why does it take so long because a lot of the time I'll just put it down to bad like period pains a lot of the time women go to doctors sometimes especially well especially male doctors understandeth don't understand it tell them their symptoms and then they'd like oh you've just probably got a really bad period take some painkillers in it so it's actually a really really painful condition good that they're doing inquiry yeah how should they teach you in schools I think they should teach it younger because and it should be also not just a science thing like in biology it needs to be more about also the emotional side of things and like the lifestyle side of things as opposed to the womb sheds every twenty eight yeah yeah yeah I also just think guys should ask more questions and women should feel more comfortable talking about it with with with men men like co-workers friends like before I used to you know stuff tampons down my sleeve but now I feel like you just need to just hold it like it's not a big deal mmm like none of us would be here if you know periods didn't exist because that's all a part of like the reproductive cycle so really it's thanks to various that men are who they asked exist next time you're on your period and you have a fake eye thing what should I get you I just like bread right a lot of bread thank you yeah okay you
