What Do Men Know About Periods?

How much do you know about periods? Oh, wow!
You did NOT drop this on me! Wow, OK, wow.
I'm the vagina. OK! You can put it in.
Not too hard, nice and gently.
Supposedly, we're more enlightened now,
living in a better age of equality.
But how much do guys really know about periods?
I'm going to find out. So, first up...
On average? This. This one? Yes.
It looks like quite a lot, doesn't it?
Do you want to answer some questions about periods?
Two pints? I'd imagine a lot.
My ex used to moan a lot, so I'd imagine a lot.
About a pint? Litres. Litres, easily.
This one? Yeah.
So, about half of that, really.
Which one? That one.
The biggest? The biggest, yeah.
It's actually this one. OK, cool.
Do you want to hold that for me? Not really!
It's this one. No! Is that it?
Is that...really? Yeah. All that fuss over that?
So we give you all that sympathy for that?
30-40 millilitres of blood is lost during a period on average
but it can be more.
Over 60ml is classed as a heavy period.
Next, do blokes understand why women bleed?
The hormones in the body. Yeah? Um...
Is it, like, something to do with their ovoos? Overie...?
Ovaries? Ovaries, yes, that's the word, yeah.
Why do periods happen?
You have your, like...the period goes through your system,
like, every month where you ovulate, yeah?
Erm, if it's not fertilised, then,
because the lining builds up in the uterus...
The lining of the uterus...
BOTH: ..sheds, then it comes out. Yeah.
It's the lining of the uterus breaking down.
What happens?
I haven't been to school for a long time so I kind of forgot. So...
So, finally, do guys understand the mechanics
of using sanitary products?
How does this work? That's obviously the new Apple i-...earphone piece.
I know, like, you pull that
and then do they explode and fly up in the air?
Bzzh-peww!
I don't know what that does. Actually, they're both panty liners.
Oh, right. Oh, right.
This is an applicator. Correct.
I know, I've got a sister and everything.
And then, I only assume, you clench and...
..suck?
Clench and suck, girls, just so you know!
Do you know what this is? Uh, I think, yeah. That's...
I can't remember what it's called,
but it's like a cup and it's like a replacement for a tampon.
So, what, the object of this exercise is I, like...
Insert it in the vagina.
I haven't got a vagina to put it in, though.
Well, I guess you would take that out...
..and then just shove it in there, I don't know.
I thought I knew but I really don't.
Wriggle it around, slowly...
..and there, is it in? But then what about the plastic?
But they'll pull that out at the end, won't they? Yeah.
That's...
Oh, dear. And pull it.
Take three. I think that must absorb. When it's absorbed,
after a certain period of time, then it's pulled out.
Insert it...
..and then, like, push it out.
Go on.
Ooh, you know!
Come on, you used to be an engineer.
You can't hold that all day, can you? I mean that's...
What's that? I can't, I'm off this week. Yeah, menstrual cycle.
It's a menstrual cup. OK, explain that in English.
So you go like this.
You squeeze it together like that...
..then you put it up and then you let it expand
and it can gather all the blood in there,
and then you can take it out, pour it out and then put it back in.
Ready to go. OK.
Out. Yep.
And then push. Ah!
And then this hangs in and you can pull the plastic out,
and you can pull this out.
Gotcha, when it's absorbed what it needs to absorb.
It's recommended to take tampons out every 4-6 hours
to reduce the risk of toxic shock syndrome.
Overall, the guys had a pretty good idea
about why women have periods,
but knew a little less about the practicalities.
