6 Guys Get Quizzed On Periods — And Fail Miserably (article)



i asked rip and he gave himself a 2, which i thought was pretty fair rating, tho also probably a bit low since he has two sisters and i'm pretty open about talking about my period. i also asked him how often he thought women change their tampons and he, correctly, said that we probably change them at different intervals depending how far along we were on our period, and that we change them 3-4 times a day. actually, at first he said 2-3 times, so i clarified and said "so every 12-8 hours" and he said "oh, right, cause it's like 24 hours." hahaha, so he changed his answer to 3-4 times a day, which is a great guess!

i'd give myself an 8 on period knowledge. i know a lot but i certainly don't know everything!

i also think we should really talk more about periods. half of the people will get them at some point in their life. and i did some math before and figured that at any time, 1/10 of the population is menstruating.
