Two sisters share their personal stories about getting their first periods, wearing bras, and using tampons. The older sister, who got her period two years before her twin, recalls experiencing it while at dance class and having a relatively smooth transition. Her mom picked her up from school and took her out to lunch to celebrate.
The younger sister, however, had a more difficult time. She was afraid to tell her mom about her period and waited two or three days before breaking the news. She was also terrified of using tampons and initially used pads, which made dancing uncomfortable. It took her three months to finally try using a tampon, with the help of a friend who offered to put it in for her. Eventually, she learned to use tampons on her own and found it more convenient and comfortable.
The sisters encourage young girls to try different options and find what works best for them. They also invite their viewers to share their own stories and suggest topics for future videos.
