Every teenage girl either dreads or can't wait for their first period to hit. Especially when their friends have already experienced it. For you as the parent, that moment can be terrifying! Never fear though, HelloFlo is showing off the lighter side of the menstrual cycle.

You may remember this awesome "Camp Gyno" ad that HelloFlo (a subscription tampon and pad service) launched with in 2013. We loved it and now they've done it again.

This video perfectly sums up just how frustrating and embarrassing getting (or not getting) your first period can be.
