Men Try to Explain Periods, Hilarity Ensues

Have you ever wondered what your guy friends might say if you asked them to explain periods? Probably not, but Buzzfeed did to hilarious effect. They asked a group of brave gentlemen to answer questions about tampons, what occurs during a woman’s period, and even how much “debris”—as one participant put it—we lose during a cycle. Check out their laugh-inducing responses in the video below.

Now before you harp on these lads too much, did you find yourself the answers to some of these questions? We’re not afraid to admit we didn’t have an answer to them all. This little experiment is not just funny; it’s downright educational! We especially appreciate the fellow who tried to sympathize with a female’s ability to carry on as if everything is normal while on her period.

And we love that Buzzfeed is prompting a discussion about this strangely taboo topic. If you’re really feeling adventurous, try this quiz out with your pals. We guarantee it will be worth the giggles.

Did some of these questions stump you, collegiettes?
