""See this blood on here? I'm going to take this peroxide and pour some on there. It will bubble up and then wash it and it should wash out,""
""You're going to get older and you maybe have your own kids, or a woman, and I don't ever want you to be like, I'm not touching that. Take care of it, use the peroxide, and be there for them.""
""It's just a natural part of our lives and part of our bodies. But a lot of boys sometimes can be mean and cruel and they make fun, but I don't want you to do that. I want you to be compassionate. I want you to show some care.""
Periods and menstruation have often been treated as taboo and shameful in American culture, leaving many men and boys uninformed about the menstrual cycle. Some mothers are deliberately educating their sons about periods to erase shame and reduce stigma. One mother demonstrates how to remove period blood from clothing using peroxide and explains practical care steps. She instructs her son to never mock someone for having period stains and to offer quiet, compassionate help such as a jacket. The son responds positively, and viewers applauded the candid, straightforward parenting approach.
