I foresee Aiken bringing a sanitary set around after this. xD

[@lukiepookiex]

guy here but ive always found these kind of more female centric topics to be so interesting cos obv i cant relate so its so interesting to learn about these kind of problems that i would never experience myself and also so i can help whoever in my life who might need my help 💕💕

[@leesiyin]

This is the kind of Lecture I'm willing to sit and listen. Knowledge and Entertainment in a package.

[@mitramoon]

Hello girls! I've been using the menstrual cup for atleast 4 years now and I'm excited to share some info about it: 1. First time attempting to use it can be quite scary but you just need to find the right way that suits you best and I'm happy to share 'techniques' as I've helped few female friends with this before even over video calls. So yeah just reach out if you need support when you finally have your cup but feel panicky about it! 2. If you have heavy flow on the first few days like myself, I will use the cup and small panty liners just in case there's abit of leakage. 3. The pros of using the cup by far surpasses all the other conventional products for me, however the ONE con I would say for you guys is that, it's not easy to wash it when you're not in the comfort of your own home because you need hot water and it's nice to unload the cup in the shower, clean it right there and put it back in again. It can be done in public toilets but it's just not nice and can be a bloody crime scene when you're on a heavy flow. That's all for now. Thank you for speaking up about this for I think it's really time that people from SEA increase their awareness when it comes to how the natural menstrual cycle is viewed because it's very interconnected with how we women subconsciously view ourselves, other women, how we have to hide this big part of us from men, how most men also feel shame and shame us for it. The period is representation of our creative life force energy which as you've mentioned, one of the biggest creation that comes out of it is human life. Thus learning more and embracing it will actually bring us a step closer to ending the gender war game and instead empowerment to both men and women. Lol, got a little too passionate there. Ok have a good day girls! 💙

[@erxiangjun]

Menstrual cups do take about my experience(2 cycles) to get used to and there are a lot of different sorts/brands available now in sg- short/long, medium/large, hardness level..Its much more comfortable and i find that it helps especially at night when you're tossing around and thats usually when you'll stain EVERYTHING with a pad. Plus, no more strong iron smell(even when you take out and pour because it isn't oxidised yet), and you can still wear your usual pants/skirts(no more period pants!), and no more pad rash(yeah its a thing)! Its a higher cost upfront but lets be honest, the good pads ain't cheap either. I've strongly advocate for menstrual cups because its bloody awesome!

[@MrBoliao98]

As a guy if I see my spouse or wife in pain, of course I'd do my job, I wouldn't say do a special pack cos I won't follow through in the long term. But say make a hot water bottle, make coffee or tea, get some snacks, these are things I'd do anyway until you menopause.

[@hannahwilkins4291]

yooooo menstrual cups are lifechanging. takes a few cycles to get used to it, but super comfortable, low waste & saves money in the long run! you can wear them for up to 12 hours so i empty and clean it twice a day when i shower. theres lots of videos of people talking about their menstrual cup experience too, which are very helpful! just make sure you buy a legit one and not some $2 one from shopee :-)

[@koguma334]

will the blood overflow?

[@crysanwa]

Haha after my bf watch this, he immediatedly send magnum party bundle for me! Xiao touched de! Hahaha thanks nina and sylvia! 💕

[@akaisamurai]

I just clicked on this as I was painting and the title got my attention and I must say I was very entertained and educated. Well done and amazing content. It really felt as if you were listening to someone you know in a cafe about the topic. Thumbs up.

[@joshinthemoment]

I didn't know this was about periods when I clicked on it but it was informative, educational, helpful, and very interesting. Thanks!

[@paulpxl6999]

I love watching you guys it make me happy every time I watch it!!!❤️

[@cynthiahantsehuei483]

Yes kudos to my husband, growing up without a sister. He bought period pad for me from NTUC while i was in pain at home. Oh and apply Ru Yu Oil on my tummy :)

[@yiwenfoong304]

Menstrual cup is great! When it’s inside I don’t even feel like I am on menstruation anymore. It lasts for years, I’ve been using the same one for 2years now. No more pads.

[@RachelKokoro]

Menstrual cups worked really well for me! Been trying them for the last 4 months and although there is a bit of a learning curve at the start, it's not too daunting even for me who didn't really use tampons before. There is not much discomfort from using it and you can use it longer than a normal tampon as there haven't been cases of toxic shock syndrome from users (although limited research has been done so it still shouldn't be used for like the whole day to be cautious). Would say for heavy flow days i needed to empty it (a regular sized one) every 4 hours but for other days it can go for much longer. I still wear a washable cotton liner on heavy days for that reason. Plus if you take good care of them, it can last you more than a year or even two which is great for saving money and the environment. I wouldn't suggest getting any cheap or dodgy ones though because you would need to place the cup in hot water when you first get it and between cycles to kill off any bacteria so the cheap ones might get damaged in the process. Got mine from theperiodco which carries quite a few good brands of cups and they have a blog with tips that helped me navigate this whole menstrual cup journey so it would be good to check them out? Anyway, good on you guys for talking about periods on youtube! I feel like we should get over it being such a taboo topic since there is honestly nothing disgusting about it and girls should be supporting each other more like you said.

[@ZhaneStrife]

[@christineong1733]

i got my first period on a school learning journey and i was so traumatised but heng i got experience friends helping me

[@chensoonteo]

Give freedom cups a try. It will change your life. It makes your period shorter, you don't feel anything (super comfortable). Try the small one when you first starting out, and then use a liner just in case of leaks. Empty and rinse in the shower. After a few cycles you will get used to it and trust me you will never go back to pads. I use them now with cloth liners - so no disposables and super comfortable.

[@iLoveKaiEXO]

I'm honestly really glad of these podcasts which talks in depth about problems we face in Singapore. T___T

[@limzhiyu326]

Good job guys

[@esprillant]

Thanks for the info girls, now I know what to do to impress my woman!

[@its.graceaudrey]

Nina : "It flew out" 😂 My experience: I was at university in front of a group of guys and I was looking for a document in my bag. One of the guys saw the pad in my bag and laughed while giving signals to his friends. He was making me deliberately uncomfortable 😶. I loved this podcast episode because it makes me realised that we need to demystify period in our families since childhood!

[@LaPingPing]

Period cups sibeh life changing. Used it for a year dy and never turned back.

[@joylynlim5269]

Omg Nina, i had a similar first period experience with you HAHAHA i was shocked and scared when it occured, crying and sobbing, and my mom brought a container and asked me to draw lottery. 😂 damn hahaha

[@cy_ace]

I have a boyfriend who spoils me so much. I won’t let me carry heavy things, prepare something hot for me to drink, buy hot pack to warm up my tummy, apply ointment on my tummy, etc. I’m very grateful to be with someone like him.

[@JingH]

1 in 5 public toilets have been leaned on by Sylvia.

[@cjy29]

Hello Nina! I have recently started to use the menstrual cup too. At first I was quite against the idea as I just couldn’t imagine sticking a cup up there. I did my research online and the prices for menstrual cups can be on the pricey side although it’s still cheaper in the long run comparing to pads/tampons. I purchased mine online (Satisfyer Feel Secure Menstrual Cup) as I feel like I just wanted to try it out and the price is on the low side ($19.65) for 2 cups, one holds 20ml and another one holds 15ml of blood. I have recently tried it out and surprisingly, the feeling is amazing! I feel nothing at all after inserting it inside (took quite awhile to figure how to insert). I feel like it might take some time to get used to as during heavy flow, you will need to empty the cup while you’re outside in the public toilets. (Use the handicap toilet so you can rinse your cup before inserting in again). I’ll continue to try it for the next few cycles and see where it takes me. You should hop on the bandwagon too! 🤪 Good luck!

[@z3r0unknown_kitty]

periods always come at the times when we are doing something fun or important godammit

[@colorsangell7789]

Wow the sanitary set is impressive!

[@alvinfg3133]

Hi im guy and im listening this podcast from the start till end with no skip at all🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️

[@libraries144]

Time to subscribe

[@jinwee]

learn alot of stuffs from you ladies

[@Downthrust]

I think the menstrual cup is amazing! Its not difficult to put it in after you are used to it and it feels like a tampon (?) as in you dont rlly feel it at all! And it lasts me from morning till evening when im having heavy flow. But i think 1 downside is i always feel v constipated and when i try to go w the menstrual cup inside! So i usually try to go when the cup is not inside

[@ydolem777]

Been using the silicon cup for the last 4 months, its amazing. If you're already using tampons you'll love it. The silicon cup almost never leaks, gotta change it out around 8 hours

[@adelinetang2801]

Plz make a video about the different phases you both have experienced or has. I think it would be an interesting video. 😚

[@sandrachng5610]

I had the same experience with "magenta", I requested by bf's mother to throw used pad outside. 🙄 I'm so sad why I have been treated so unfairness just because of superstition.

[@skk3644]

Girl, faster break up with the guy whenever you find any of his family members are crazy unreasonable assholes when you guys are dating, not married, girl you are born not to tolerate nonsenses from another "in law family relatives", your loved ones family parents will be heartbroken if they know you are being ill treated. 😊❤ choose your own circle of family and friends wisely, the "biological blood family" we are born into we cannot really choose you see, and maybe giving ourselves problem in the first place already. So please do not choose a new group of more extra nonsenses for yourself. 😊❤💪

[@coolest.j7285]

Omgg the ASMR sound of da day so kewttt

[@imaselfie]

menstrual cups are super convenient to have. The only downside is that there is a learning curve on how to get the placement right in you.

[@normansamat5780]

Hi TTS. Your story reminds me during my time working as a Restaurant Mgr in one of FnB outlet (shall not name). Every end of the month we are required to do stock count for all food product, dry good, packaging basically all that we used for the operations. So during the stock count day being the Restaurant Manager I have to be around for the stock check together with my female Asst Manager. Of cos we have few staffs helping us to run with the operations as well. Here the story goes. Everytime during the stock count day she will call or text saying that she not well and need to see a doctor. And the 2nd call from her to inform that she have seen the doctor and was given 5 days MC and I told her to take care and have a good rest. 1st, 2nd and 3rd month I excuse her and did all the stock counting by myself. Come 4th month honestly I started to get pissed off as she again submitted 5 days MC and everytime during the stock count day. Initially I tot that she just wanted to escape and avoid from doing stock counting or she just don't like to do those things. And during the month end we have so many reports to be submitted to HQ and I always had to do it all by myself. I told myself that I will have a good words with her when she is back from her 5 days MC (Pissed). As usual everytime she back from her MC she will look quite pale. Having to 'tahan' with her for 4 months I told myself that her pale look must be from her make up powder that she put on. When she came back to work I pull her aside to have a good talk to her. During the talking with her she did not tell me that she had menstruation problem. All she say was just sorry. After I'm done talking with my Asst Manager, one auntie that work with us in the restaurant came and talk to me. The auntie told me that me Asst Manager took MC was because she had a super bad stomach cramps whenever she had her menses. She can hardly walk and she have to lie down most of the time. Everytime when she had her menses she must see doctor and the doctor will usually give her 5 to 7 days MC for her to rest. My Asst Manager was actually shy and don't know how to open up to talk to me. Knowing that from the auntie, I started to read up more abt menstruation and ask around and get some info from my mum and my sisters. And due to this problem I now know how to calculate menstrual cycle. From the 5th month onwards till 2 years I work with my Female Asst Manager I know when she will take her MC. This makes me so much easier whenever I plan the schedule because I always got the calculation right :) since then I never ask her anymore about her MC. After I got posted out from the Restaurant to take up other roles, sadly she tendered her resignation as she said the incoming Restaurant Manager is not as understanding as I am

[@sgmei]

Wow.. kudos to you bro.. at least after you knew what was going on, you even go read up about it and managed to work with her well on your schedule. I can understand why she didn't want to be honest and talk about it because a lot of people don't understand it and immediately jump to "where got so pain? everyone else ok leh? why only you?" because I am also the same as her. I think even if I explain, people refuse to understand. I'm sad that the next incoming manager was not as understanding as you :( I hope she found a job with colleagues that can understand her.

[@normansamat5780]

@@sgmei I really do understand why she didn't want to speak up. At that time she still in her early 20s if I'm not wrong around 21 or 22 years old and I'm in my late 20s. I never ask her anything since then as I respect her privacy. Probably that makes her comfortable working with me for 2 yrs in the same Restaurant. Sadly she tender her resignation on the second month after another manager took over. But I really must thanked her bcos of her I now know how to count the cycle :)

[@xforlifeify]

I use a menstrual cup, its a collapsible lily cup brand. Its amazing! $45 for one cup, I've used it for 3 years alr. Give it a go, no fear.

[@joywan7931]

I knew this topic was gonna come up 🤣

[@kittified]

I just tried using period panties (from the brand knix, but I bought knix teen cos its cheaper haha) and it works really well. The one I got was the Super 'oh-no' proof series (don't get the medium absorbent one it isn't as great). Wore it for the whole day, slept with it overnight, and there's no leakage, no wetness (the type of wetness that you get when you wear pads for a long time. None of it happened). Odor control was really good. At the end of the day I just rinse out the panty and throw in the washer (or if you're not comfortable with it, just handwash and line dry). Since its reusable it is good for the environment.

[@snowy121416]

Menstrual cup!!! It can last 10-15 years. I have influenced a whole bunch of people around me to use it and they all give me the same feedback. We cannot imagine living without it. You never have to feel like u r on ur period other than pain, you save Soooo much money, it helps the environment immensely too. Especially for women who are active in sports or shooting like yall, it helps you forget that you are even on it :) highly recommend checking out freedomcup, they are started by a local family and has a very good cause behind it :)

[@hiwawee]

I'm with Sylvia for team pink panadol ,,,I wish that pink panadol was available everywhere :( I'm only able to stock up when i go back to SG, but now with covid I don't think i can stock up anymore :(

Omg my pms is also pre present and post HAHAHAG only 1 wk of safe zone

[@domonka]

Anotherwayto prevent you faint when u can ly down is sit down and put your head between your legs so your head is lower aand close your eyes. It will help blood going to your head faster also. My doc suggest it

[@wsy91]

@slyvia you can try drinking warm red date with longan tea it will help to ease the cramps.

[@vso8247]

Thinx period panties! Game changer!! I knew my husband (then bf) was a keeper when he decided to always carry a pad in his bag just in case for me. 😍😍😍

[@weiyanmiingx1548]

我從去年11月開始用menstrual cup 的確是很好用的，只是行動不能太大，第二三天量多的話也需要用panty liner來墊著 剛開始用menstrual cup的時候也沒接觸過tampon，所以一開始會很不習慣 但很持久，量多的話一天最多也只需要換2-3個，量少的話也至少需要換一次避免細菌感染， 一個menstrual cup至少可以用個5-10年（不是幾個月） 雖然一個會有點貴，但比起買很多pad來說的確是可以省下很多錢 +上又很環保，所以可以試試看~

[@peits0213]

"choose 4 numbers" 🤣

[@randergal]

Same I also agree with Nina about not taking the pink pills for period pain!! Training to tahan the pain haha. But tips for yall women - if you take birth control pills your PMS, cramps and period flow will be a LOTTT better.!!

[@ameeerkat]

menstrual cup convert of over a year. used to use tampons so i have the experience of putting something in, but the trick is to ensure the cups don't leak. i also have one with a valve so you can empty the cup without removing - great for public toilets. pros: my period is shorter, less cramps, dont have to think about it while i'm out and about and great for the environment (can last years). cons: if you insert it wrongly it could leak and you might feel the stem which might be irritating/itchy. i was gonna say sorry for tmi, but actually i'm not :) P.S. i'm also the "dealer" with a pouch in my bag specially for pads/tampons so it won't fly out when i try to pay for something :)

[@aaronfoo9464]

Buy both in case of emergency always stay prepare and avoid seafood. Of course avoid being angry and control your temper, also drink more warm ginger tea. Try not to take pandol if you are sick or too painful. Always prepare woman emergency kit, especially going our to work or study and know how many you need per day.

[@kangzheng8765]

honestly i live together with my two older sisters and one younger sisters. Seeing/touching/throwing away pads or tampons have become a norm for me i dun get it why SOME guys feel disgusted when they see pads or tampons. The guys in my class normally would say 'oh that girl on pms dun kacao her' when my female classmate just becomes angry at them.Sometimes the whole class is just angry at them for being loud

[@michalphang]

I am in the severe-pain-during-period group and I get condescending and insensitive remarks from male and female bosses alike when I have to take MC because I need to lie in bed. Their comments are like "oh so next month this day you have to take MC again ah?", "Take a panadol la, sleeping helps with the pain meh?" "Err.. I know you r not feeling so well, but we have a deadline today.." "how come doctor give mc one ah? Period is not a sickness also" For a female who is in pain, comments like these are depressing and infuriating at the same time

I was so scared as I thought I had bladder cancer so I spent a good 30 minutes sitting on the TB thinking of how to break the cancer news to my mom HAHA
