Your Bod

It's the period party of the century (and we're all invited)

The first time Flo comes to visit (and if you haven’t gotten your period yet: have no fear, your time will come) it’s kind of exciting because it’s just like f-i-n-a-l-l-y, you know?

It feels like this giant milestone passed on your way to womanhood, like you’re finally a secret member of the not-so-secret club that unites all women under one cause. But then Flo, in some twist of cruel fate, somehow becomes your most loyal friend because once a month, every month, she keeps coming… and coming… and coming… and doesn’t stop for about thirty or so years.

And while past period commercials are dirty liars (dancing on a beach in a white dress? no thanks) or make us feel like some sort of freak science experiments instead of a natural phenomena that literally affects women world wide since the beginning of time (great, it’s an absorbent pad, but what is that blue liquid because last time I checked that isn’t what happens?) we finally found one that not only addresses getting your first period but embraces it.

Introducing ‘First Moon Party’, a commercial featuring uterus pinatas and vagicians galore, in a world where your first period isn’t just exciting, but actually the cause for a massive celebration. A massive celebration that a mother uses to teach a lesson, but still... a massive celebration.

HelloFlo, the masterminds behind this commercial and a one-of-a-kind care package delivery service, ships everything you need to battle your period each month right to your door. From tampons to panty liners to yummy candy, anything and everything you might possibly need for your lady days is put together in a cute little box and delivered to your doorstep in sync with your cycle. Plus, they’re great at commercials (if this won’t sell you on them, last year’s The Camp Gyno will).

This commercial will have you cramping with laughter instead of those painful TOM cramps. Also, quick note: if you’re going to fake your period, don’t do it with nail polish that has glitter in it.
