If men had periods, tampon ads would be f*cking badass. [View all]

Manpax Stick 'em where ever you want, bro.

It's surprising that this sketch isn't actually written by a sketch comedy group, but by a non-profit called Water Aid. Water Aid works to bring clean water, sanitation, and hygiene education to places where those things are scarce. So, uhh, what's the connection? Well, they wanted to raise awareness about the fact that 1.25 billion women who do not have access to toilets during their periods.

If you've never had your period, you might not understand how awful that is. Considering who makes most of the political decisions still, imagining how the world would be different if men got their periods is a good exercise. Dudes wouldn't just be packing Manpax. They'd understand the urgency of these women's situations. Getting your period isn't for wimps.
