There’s not a single human being that could have done this better than Simone
I'd love to see Useless Duck take a shot at it. Could be good for some Quacks.
I liked your comment and now it’s at 1k :) also I completely agree she’s great at this
Maybe mark rober
that music too... its perfect
your highschool's biology book does it just fine
Picking Simone to present this video was literally genius
I am curious to know who approached whom to get this project going.
Peace and Love,

I feel like as a grown man I was not the target market for this video. However, Simone makes, I watch.
Turns out I actually will watch anything Simone makes.
FACTS!
Yeah gotta admit me too!
Same. :)
Same
Yep me too and I'm a 50 year old Male 🤣🤣🤣
The wife watches with me ✔
I am so happy that Simone used red coloring instead of blue
Haha underated comment
Haha I said the same thing lmao 🤣
You bloody well right, mate.
Pros: you can bleed for five days straight without dying
Cons: you have to bleed for five days straight without dying every month
That's one of the best ways of putting it I've heard
Want to change that to 7? Although, I guess 5 is average. 7 days straight for me.
Haha I use to bleed everyday all day after having my second uterus opened...... not joking.
@@CheshieD "second uterus?" I didn't know that was a thing
@@thesoupin8or673 yeah I was born with one kidney which apparently made my uterine tubes/horns not form together in utero and they tried to compensate, as the kidneys and tubes/horns develop at the same time.
Most people never know they even have an extra one, or an extra cervix. Though the ones who end up with an extra vagina usually know. I just got unlucky and had one vagina, but a double uterus with one side that was closed off so I didn’t know anything was wrong until it was REALLY WRONG.
I came to see Simone.. I walk away more educated and able to talk about periods properly with my daughter who has just hit puberty.
Parenting ✅
Even better : show her the video.
That's awesome.
You better reply “I agree” to these kind-hearted people at Kotex 🙁
@@MattChance They might not know that people have replied to them, so they don't know that they can agree to something rn.
1. SIMONE!!!!
2. I very much appreciate the increase in reproductive health information being put out there!
3. SIMONE!!!!
This would be great to explain to Kids, including boys, how menstruation works. Especially considering that schools separate Boys n girls for 'health and sex education, and dont explain to Boys how a female body works.... So they grow up not understanding women, treating them like they are faking feeling ill, or that women can choose when to bleed and 'hold it in'
the 2 genders, Kids and hoys😂
As a hoy myself, this video was very informative.
I’m not even a kid but this still taught me a lot
@@Samfransch Yeah, it's a great tool for everyone. There are so many adults who have no clue how this all works. Best thing people can do is educate rather than shame for not knowing
Full grown man here, I'm glad I watched this and I learned some stuff :)
The first time I really understood the difficulty of periods was with a teacher who had a hard day. A class filled with 16yo male students, all going crazy, and the only thing she did was saying "guys, red flag week. Stfu please."
Did it work?
@@magicalwatermelon5147 it did. She was awesome, and we were easy on her when she had a shark week
I just call it the week of pain lol
@@nofunallowed3382 that’s actually really wholesome
Fire in the hole!!!
As a man in my 30's, this was both entertaining and informative. But I swear, I would've never watched if it wasn't for Simone and an "anatomically adjacent" machine. This should be used as the gold standard for explaining this. Great job!
"I don't care what you want." -Uterus
The fact that my uterus has an agenda the direct opposite of my own makes it hard to like any part of it. The rest of my organs at least work for a good cause.
Same! I don't want this thing in me at all. I would give it away to someone who wanted it in a heartbeat. Pregnancy anxiety totally kills my sex drive
@@AMVactivists Doesn't it though? Would gladly donate it to research or whatever, like I just have zero need for it?
@@MsLaughingRabbit the fact that you people think you can just get rid of your uterus with no consequence is very silly, have fun with your vaginal prolapses
@@kathiane29 Have fun going through life unable to distinguish fleeting fantasies from serious discussions of major surgery.
@@AMVactivists The anxiety of that risk is honestly the cheapest birth control ever…..I have the same anxiety, trust me. It’s annoying as heck.
Petition to actually include this in Health Class curriculum!
This should be used in health class! 🤩
fr fr
I love this. I am saving this to use as a teaching tool for when my kids come of age. As a woman who didn't learn how the menstrual cycle really worked until I was an adult tying to actually have kids, I appreciate the movement to make talking about this not feel embarrassing, gross or weird. This is awesome.

This sounds like a personal experience…
have you eaten cogwheels before Simone???
do we need to call someone for you....
Is it even surprising?
@@Imurai No. It’s perfectly on brand!
There are ones made of chocolate.
the uterus as a pinball machine, only Simone can thing of that haha
Cheers to the Kotex marketing team! Great idea thinking bout Simone! She's fantastic and hilarious!!
Simone, I LOVE that you have chosen to give your smarts and humor to this project. I was so entertained by this video! Menstruators and non-menstruators alike can learn things from your light-hearted presentation! Thank you so much for working to reduce period stigma. ❣
Love the headgear 😂
Yay for using inclusive language, Simone! I hope that Kotex will soon start doing the same.
same
Yeah, I noticed that even the logo has the “woman” symbol on it :/ I hope things change soon.
@@mlynn998 Why does that matter in the context of biological sex?
@@VanillaLibrarian because not all women menstruate and not everyone who menstruates is a woman.
@@mlynn998 Of course, but the reproductive organ their products are for is going to be female no matter who's carrying it. I guess we have a different interpretation of what the logo is trying to refer to.
And the product certainly isn't relevant for all women, but if you remove the logo it'd still be in a dedicated female hygiene aisle at the supermarket for the sake of convenience, among a whole store of products you don't need either. Is it all that different from me having to skip on a box of hair dye because I barely have any hair left? It just doesn't strike me as a particularly fruitful battlefield for anyone.
I just showed this to my 7 year old who has been asking what periods are. This was such a great way to explain it to him so that he was actually interested and not just grossed out! lol
"You don't actually have cogwheels in your body."
*Angry Mechanicus noises*
By the Omnissaiha!
On 'the week', the uterus yells "BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!"
@@GuzziHeroV50 SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!
"Love the Uterus because it's the only organ with a schedule"
Thyroid: Am I nothing to you?
She said Agenda; not schedule. There is a meaningful difference there. :)
@@Cyber-Riot oh, that's why I understood "with a gender".
Came here from Simone Giertzßs channel. No kidding, it is time to face this as a man with my men friends. Always thought it is important to know when your other whole(half and half, noe, it is one made out of one plus one, that is why it is so beautiful), how to help her in this time. there is much more than you know, and much more to figure out together. So fellow Men, lets do this.
i think you mean whole.... not hole....
SIMONE 😍 this was easily the most trans-friendly explanation of menstruation to date!!
Here for Simone and all the body affirmation 🥰
@kotex not all people with periods are women and not all women have periods - maybe the 'she can' initiative can be the 'we can' initiative! love to fight those barriers even as a trans guy! regardless - thanks for improving education one video at a time!
💯
yes kotex is kinda old fashioned :/
Yeah I hate that they have the woman symbol in their logo, but I am glad that Simone gets it at least
Fuck, women literally can’t have anything without that
@@vulgaritar48 omg i hate it when people fight for inclusivity😫😍
not sure why this showed up in my recommended, but weirdly glad it did, it's simple to understand and answered a few things I always wondered about but felt too awkward to ask
simone says: "Okay ..."
my brain: *here it comes*
simone: "... caho"
my brain: 😮
I'm confused too. Still waiting für the "byeeeeee"
*ciao
Ahhh, but that was the reproductive system saying ciao! 😏
Simone... THANK YOU! I am a male middle school teacher so I have had SOOOOO many young women experience their first period while they were my student or literally while in my class. I’m obviously compassionate and my wife bought me supplies to keep on hand that a young lady might need (I am a teacher in The Bronx, NY so it’s quite possible they might not always have access to what they need all the time), I can speak theoretically about what is happening to them if they have questions but they don’t want to hear from a 39 year old dude so I now have saved your videos with Kotex and will share if my students ever have further questions!!! THANK YOU!
thank u Simone for saying the bleeding for 5 days without dying thing that makes me feel very cool and my period makes me feel very dysphoric
This was incredible and I loved the language used!
Also something that doesn't get talked about is the "abnormalities" like how if one tube or ovary is compromised the other can reach around and grab the egg. Or how you can release an egg without having a prepared uterus, or how even if you don't have periods, either from PCOS or HRT that egg still wants to hang out sometimes and can get re absorbed by the uterus (and why its important to use birth control even if your periods stopped to prevent unprepared pregnancy, both unprepared in your external and internal life
They need to show Simone’s videos in school. Fun and educational.
Every science teacher is thinking “Damn! I need a uterus machine”
New business idea ✔️
My fiance says "The ovary headband is for when she's OVERYacting"
I am so glad I found this comment… felt like a bit of an imposter about to post it (I too am a fiancé)!
Marry your fiance faster.
They are a keeper!
So, this is the opposite of a dad joke. Noted.
Get out!
Awww you’re such a good spokes person for the men’s trap (ughh autocorrect) cycle. Kotex good pick. Thoroughly enjoyed. (Okay I totally wrote “Menstrual” but it auto corrected to “men’s trap" thought I should keep it ???)
That’s amazing 😂🤣
Nice to see an engineering kind of vibe for explaining this topic. I don't think this is as an angle that has been pursued a lot for this topic. And we all learn differently. I think this kept the "human" aspect and a good sense of humor, while focusing on what technically is going on. Some people will prefer this information in this form over any other way. Whatever helps the most people learn is great, in my book. And as a benefit from this approach, the info here is very clear. I would say no-nonsense, which it is in the colloquial sense, but there is actually just the right amount of "good nonsense" as well to keep it lighthearted. Thanks!
This would be great in a lot of different languages so that teachers can show it to their students.
It explains something difficult and often a bit awkward topic in a fun and engaging way. Great work!
Don't mind me, cramping, emotional and wearing my feelings but also laughing really REALLY hard at this video.
Thank God for @simonegiertz
I am male and gay, will never have children, why am I watching this?
Answering myself, I just love educational and funny content. Thanks for the vid!
This is great Simone! I shared it with the Days for Girls International chapter leadership because this is right in line with the goals and message of that organization.
As a guy I really found this interesting and educational, although, for what i've seen on tv shows, menstruation is not as taboo in Spain as it in US.
such a good video. So important to make this a accepted conversation - something I am still struggling with.
also as a trans masc person, I *really* appreciate the use of 'ppl w periods'.
always is and was a queen 👑, thanks as ever S
I'm a man and I knew a lot of this information however what clicked with me was the idea that your WHOLE BODY is going through a crazy chemical change and if you're trying to figure out other mental health disorders it can be convoluted by the fact that your body is trying to make a freaking baby every month... gosh.... so strong.
I don't care for Kotex products (or the parent company), but I am here for Simone! 👏👏👏
I had incredibly heavy and debilitatingly painful periods growing up, and the only thing a gyno ever did was prescribe naproxen, which is Aleve.
Anyone who menstruates, if you’re reading this and have serious life interrupting pain, or bleed for more than seven days regularly, that is not normal and you deserve a doctor who will help you find a solution, or at least a reason. It may be endometriosis or PCOS, or it may seem totally weird and unrelated! I had undiagnosed celiacs, and didn’t figure it out till I was 25. I stopped eating gluten and suddenly I could have a period with just a couple days of cramps, which lasted six days. Instead of a solid week of curl up can’t move pain and extremely heavy flow.
I’m not saying everyone with dysmenorrhea has a food intolerance or autoimmune disease like me! But bodies are complicated and menstruation shouldn’t put your life on hold every time it happens.
This is the best lesson on this topic ever.
What a fantastic collaboration. And what a fantastic education initiative. And Simone is just the perfect personality. Awesome!
I was pretty sure I knew everything about how this part of my body worked, but I was wrong. I had no idea the Fallopian tubes weren't completely connected to the ovaries!!
The craziest thing is that they can also be inseminated outside of fallopian tube.
Rare, but crazy dangerous, because they'll connect to the nearest fibers and will start to grow.
This stuff legit gave me nightmares
There are little “fingers”, called fimbriae , waving around to catch the egg when it erupts from the ovary. The fimbriae then guide it to the Fallopian tubes, where it might meet a sperm, then on to the uterus.
@@smirnovamaria9611 about 2% of pregnancies are ectopic, meaning outside the uterus. Usually in the tube but can migrate out into the abdominal cavity. Ectopic pregnancies are doomed & put mom’s life at risk, too. And there is no way to re-implant an embryo into the uterus & anyone who suggests that doesn’t understand how anything works.
Using condoms to prevent STDs-which can cause scarring of the tubes/uterus-and quitting smoking-especially when pregnant-can reduce your risk for an ectopic pregnancy. But it’s nothing that one can control nor feel blame for.
What an awesome teaching tool. Again another work of pure genius.
Is Simone the first person to not use blue liquid? Ha! Love you Simone!
I don't know who Simone Giertz was before watching this but I came out learning how the uterus works and loving every second of Simone presenting the machine!
Did I already know all of this information? Yes, did I watch the whole thing? Absolutely. Simone is very fun and cool
Simone is just.....the best!!!! THE BEST!!!
I dont think you could find a better person than Simone for this
and then women still have to work during their periods and act like nothing is happening while their are feeling great discomfort
I did gym during it as well and the boys were slacking.
I feel bad for those with very strong period symptoms, especially those suffering from fibromyalgia. I feel super lucky that I’m just a bit moody and bloated when I hear my friends say they feel stabbing pains, nausea, and other discomfort!
They should provide women with an extra 5 days off every month.
@@natalyrausch dang you're lucky! I was like that when I was younger and then the pain came to the point I fainted.
I'm not a woman and I only came for Simone but stayed for the lesson. 😂. Amazing way to teach about periods!👍👍👍
Ah as always Simone's content is ALWAYS amazing :') the machine, the jokes, the information
Wow... I was a curious kid, raised by my mom, a teacher, so periods were never a full scary mystery to me, additionally I've always tried to talk to the females in my life about periods to better understand what they have to deal with, so I felt like I had a decent grasp on the concept... but this... this REALLY made me actually understand the mechanics of it so much more than I ever have. Thank you so much to Simone and all involved.
Thank you. You did what the public school system failed to do and in only 6.5 minutes.
Always happy to see robots and menstruation combine to present educational videos ^^/
I simultaneously feel proud, intrigued, and very nauseated by something that happened last month. I passed a type of “cast,” which means the lining shed in the exact shape of my anatomy to stay together. It was absolutely horrifying and disgusting, but the Internet comforted me by letting me know what the sac was and that despite doctors not knowing why it happens, it’s totally normal in a healthy way. Like 1/3 of women have experienced it. Thank god.
I love that simon made sure that the demonstration mashine is leaking, such realism! :-)
I have no idea why i watched this. I'll probably never need to know this stuff but congrats. Simone Giertz did a good job explaining and making it interesting
Honestly I feel like this is a lot more educational than how it's taught in Biology
Thank you Simone!
1:12 A couple years ago was hired to make an anatomically accurate 3D model of this. It's to scale too.
Does that mean your SO had a baby girl?
@@Ck87JF I don't know what you mean. Actually it was for a group making menstrual cups for women in Africa. Apparently other products are no good because lions smell the blood and come into the villages. The model I made was 3D printed and used to show the girls and women how to use it because most of them don't know how to read.
@@3DJapan sorry, I was making a dumb joke that didn't entirely work in the context of your comment. Basically, you and your girlfriend/wife having a baby girl, thus making a scale 3D model.
Your reply is actually really cool though. It's neat that you and your group were able to help that community!
@@3DJapan Menstrual cups are *so good*! Thanks for your contribution!
@@Ck87JF I got the joke, and I giggled. it was good.
Simone makes period talks entertaining, well done!
That's exactly the thing! There's no real reason why it can't be, just weird outdated cultural taboos.
@@twothreebravo I agree, it's only natural and I dont get why people have issues, as a married man with two girls growing up, the last thing I want is for anyone at home to feel ashamed of it.
3:14 Ironically the gear teeth here kind of look like the cilia that line the tube.
I loved both of the videos and my face hurts from laughing. Thank you! 💖💖
(Also, I’ve watched them already twice and I just can’t keep it together when she yells “ovulate” and shoots out the little ball 😂)
I did not see that coming.
What a perfect person to partner with on this. Yay Simone!!
I don't know how common this information is, but as a man, I sure learned something. Awesome work people!
I subscribed just in case Simone shows up here again. Missing Simone content would be a crime, and I don't care what it's about! Knowledge + comedy = gold.
"Knowledge + comedy = gold"
I think I'm going to put that on a t-shirt
I hear that Simone made a period Machine, and I'm all for it !
Amazing Video :D
The only thing I noticed 100-200 ml is definitely wrong 🙈 everything over 80ml is considered a heavy flow.
I thought, that I won't watch this, because of topic. An I did. It was rather interesting. Thank you Simone.
I’m showing my future kids this...And yes, no matter the gender!
Thanks for the education Simone! You're awesome!! As a male I wanted to show respect to the women in my life by educating myself about their processes as well as my own.
Lost it when I saw the headband 😂
Thanks for this! My daughter is 10 and I am collecting up resources for her. This is perfect.
Thank you Simone Giertz
I thoroughly enjoyed Simone telling me stuff I already knew.
This should be shown in every school world wide for both boys and girls
Thankyou Simone for making this!
Simone: don't eat cogs they taste bad
me: cog wheel cookies
there's an episode of Great British Bake Off where Andrew makes cog shaped pies, and they were on little stands that actually turned. And yes, it was awesome.
i’ve learned more abt my own body from simone than i have from health class
I will save this video so that I can show it to my future children☺️
beautiful presentation, i was today years old as well. the talking uterus is genius.
I hope this gets shown to kids in school, it’s brilliant. Well done Simone
its SO GOOD watching smth about periods with inclusive language THANK YOU SO MUCH
Great job, nobody other than Simone could have pulled this off - both humourous & informative 🤩
Simone is nothing less than marvelous!
Saw Simone and I clicked.
Here, because Ms. Simone told me too. Whoooooooooo.
This is a great initiative! Well done Simone!
Loved your indoor Mini-builds tour.
Annnd: I highly appreciate your artistic way of creating awareness for the menstrual cycle. This is beautiful, interesting and functional and by far superior to some people making (in my opinion) gross paintings with their blood (which kinda defies the purpose, at least for me).
Only Simone could give me a better explanation that 12 years of public school in 1 millionth of the time.
This is the best explanation I’ve ever seen.
this was so educational and fun, even if i knew the information already, it's always nice to see it explained in a different way. and hey, who doesn't love simone :D
Great so far the best explanation I cam e across
I can’t believe ill be 25, and i have never asked myself why there’s blood in the first place.
First time seeing your channel, and wow, what an introduction. That you would make and wear an "ovary head band" tells me you are both creative and unashamed. Never stop!
