Meet the groundbreaking company, HelloFlo, a tampon subscription service (Saving single fathers from drug store embarassment since 2013). I briefly considered that this might be a bit indelicate for my blog, then I realized I was being an idiot. These are things every post-pubescent person needs to know about. Not only are they imparting valuable information to people who need it, their mockumentary style delivers the information in a very palatable format, to boot.
Before I show you the videos, I wanted to talk a bit about their website. There’s a really great feeling of support on this site. I was particularly impressed with their blog’s treatment of trans teens, their resource center for menopausal women, and their feature “Ask Dr. Flo,” which may sound like a joke but really isn’t. It deals with everything from early puberty to missed birth control doses to an explanation of assisted reproduction technologies. It’s a surprisingly thorough resource employing easy-to-understand language while still teaching the proper names for things. I really wish it had been around when I was a tween.
Pass it on!

I really wish something like this had been around when I was coming of age. My poor mother struggled so with trying to give me The Talk. We never got past flowers.

That’s not dumb. It’s innocent. What’s really funny, though, is that your mother probably told that story to people, too.

hahah Yes she found it hilarious that I didnt understand a thing. She tried books with “stories about a young girl” and “the talk” but i just couldnt get that into my thick skull and when it finally happened.. I screamed and called her telling her that I am terribly sick and hurt.. I so want a daughter because of this 😉

I came to my mother like it was a scene in a tragedy. I sat her down, bravely wiped away a tear, and told her I was dying. She laughed/cried for about an hour.
