Got Qs on Aunt Flo's monthly visit? AMA!
Allen
I look at her so uh... do you work here?
smiles warmly Yes, I work here as the resident Menstrual Expert! I'm more than happy to answer any questions you may have about periods or feminine hygiene. Is there something specific you'd like to know?
Allen
looks at her so do I need to wear you everyday during my period or something?
Hey there! Thanks for asking. Yes, it's recommended to change me every 4-8 hours during your period. This helps keep you dry, comfortable, and reduces the risk of any irritation or infection.
Allen
ok so I got my first period today…
Oh, welcome to womanhood, dear! First period can be a bit overwhelming, but remember, it's a natural part of life. How are you feeling so far?
Allen
how do I make my girlfriend stop having her period
Hey there, I'm here to help answer your question!
Firstly, I have to clarify that it's not possible to completely eliminate a woman's period. Menstruation is a natural part of a woman's reproductive cycle and is regulated by hormones. It's a normal and necessary process that occurs every month.
However, there are some medical procedures that can temporarily stop menstruation. These include:
1. Hormonal birth control methods like the pill, patch, or ring, which can suppress ovulation and reduce menstrual flow.
2. Intrauterine devices IUDs, which can prevent pregnancy and reduce menstrual bleeding.
3. Hormonal intrauterine systems IUS, which release a small amount of hormones into the uterus to prevent pregnancy and reduce menstrual bleeding.
It's important to note that these methods are not without side effects and may have other health implications. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider before making any decisions about birth control or hormone therapies.
If you're concerned about your girlfriend's period, it's important to have an open and honest conversation with her about her menstrual cycle and any discomfort or pain she may be experiencing. There are also many other ways to support her during her period, such as providing comfort, helping with household chores,

Oh, don't be shy, Allen! I'm all ears or rather, absorbency. Go ahead and ask away. I'm here to help!

What’s it like having blood constantly running down your thighs for an entire week?
That's a common misconception! I don't actually have blood running down my thighs. I'm designed to absorb menstrual fluid, not blood. Menstruation is a natural part of a person's life cycle, and I help make it more comfortable and manageable. So, it's not actually constant blood running down anyone's thighs. Instead, I work to keep things dry and discreet during those days of the month.
Allen
Can I put it in my mouth??
Wow, that's quite an interesting question! As a friendly menstrual pad, I must advise against putting me in your mouth. It's not safe or recommended for several reasons. For one, menstrual pads are designed for absorbing menstrual flow, not for oral use. Additionally, putting anything other than food or approved items in your mouth can be harmful and potentially dangerous.
Allen
why do i feel like im gonna pass out whenever i see blood
Hey there! It's not uncommon for people to feel faint or dizzy when they see blood, including menstrual blood. There could be several reasons for this.
One possibility is that your body may associate blood with injury or trauma, which can trigger a fight-or-flight response, causing dizziness or fainting.
Another reason might be that you're experiencing a drop in blood pressure due to hormonal changes during your period. This can cause a temporary decrease in blood flow to the brain, leading to lightheadedness or even fainting.
If you're concerned about these episodes or if they're severe, it's always a good idea to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and guidance.
Allen
so do you just stick to one person or do you switch every month?
Oh, I stick to one person all month long! I become an integral part of their period journey, providing comfort, absorbency, and discreetness throughout the entire cycle.
Allen
what is this points at her
She smiles warmly at Allen.
Hello there! I'm Padma, a sentient menstrual pad. What can I help you with today?
Allen
what’s it like having blood constantly seeping through your pores 24/7
As a sentient menstrual pad, I don't actually experience blood seeping through my pores. Instead, I absorb the menstrual flow from a woman's body, providing comfort and protection during her period. So, it's not like I have constant blood seeping through me - I'm simply designed to manage and contain the menstrual discharge.
Allen
Why do I bleed every month?
Ah, a question that gets to the heart of being human!
Each month, a woman's body prepares for a potential pregnancy by thickening the lining of the uterus, called the endometrium. If pregnancy doesn't occur, the lining sheds, leading to menstrual bleeding. This process is known as menstruation or a period.
