Thinx, which makes ‘period-proof underwear’, is imagining a world where both sexes get periods and nobody is uncomfortable talking about them.

In ‘MENstruation,’ the first national TV ad campaign for Thinx, includes scenes where cisgender men talk about their periods, like where a boy tells his dad that he got his first period, a man asking a colleague for a tampon, and a teen boy dropping pads out of his locker and a girl helping pick them up.

Other scenes show a man rolling over in bed to reveal a blood stain on the sheets and a guy checking out his jeans in a bathroom mirror to make sure he doesn’t have a stain.

The tag states, “If we all had them, maybe we’d be more comfortable with them,” and concluding with a call to action for all viewers, “It’s time to get comfortable” talking about and destigmatizing menstruation.
