Ok Women, Give me Insight

So as Clem gets older, and is presumably 13 or 14, she's starting to have those times of the month. HOW IN THE WORLD DOES SHE HELP HERSELF AT THAT TIME.

Please help me understand. Clothing must be pretty hard to come by, so she's gotta be letting that blood go somewhere.

This kinda just hit me and I'm extremely curious if there are any alternatives to pad and tampons.

  • I dont know. Never been in a situation where I couldnt just go the store. Why are guys so fascinated by periods anyway?

  • I'm thinking four year into this thing, there would be more natural methods still lying around in abandoned stores, and also people who were thinking ahead collected them as well. So Clem could have traded for a menstrual cup, possibly even cloth pads. But the cup would be much easier to deal with and use. I like to think Krista taught her about that stuff before they got split up. ')

  • Clementine has blood on her hands

  • I just think it's really interesting cause we don't deal with it every month like you girls do. It's so foreign to us. I find it fascinating.

  • Well boys there are any number of things that she can do...the easiest would be a rag. Though her period could be irregular due to malnutrition. Maybe good luck smiles and she finds a pack of pads somewhere...they really should make a DLC just to teach you guys a friggen lesson. Need something to mask the smell as well, though lately it seems the walkers have converged into herds for the most part...I would also say she may have stayed in Prescott during those days. But it is not like a new problem for women.

    Oh my sweet summer child.

  • Not a teacup

    Read it and wonder...I am not a fan.

  • Perhaps they get lucky and take clothes off the walkers.

  • Okay, while we're being all uncomfortable and stuff, do females, you know..."swallow?"

  • Why is there so many threads about this?

  • People want to see that blood doe

    Why is there so many threads about this?

  • But we all damn well still wanna be rocket pilots!

    There's starting to be a pretty creepy big amount of people who seem to care a little too much about this.

  • It's probably just an oversight on the creators' part.

  • "Swallow"?

  • They're reusable pads. Basically, you use them, but instead of throwing them away like disposable pads, you wash them and reuse them at a later time.

    So that's probably how a lot would deal with it if normal pads or tampons ran out. They might make their own reusable ones.

    Dude ditto on the guy stuff. Speaking of which since it got brought up in the episode this is, a very valid discussion. Are boners sometimes a curse?

    Does the world really get dark?

  • There was a time where I ran out of pads and my mother ripped up an old duenna and gave it to me. I'd imagine something like that if you're in a survival situation. It's practical because you could wash it and reuse it.

  • First of all, her being 14 doesn't actually mean she's started getting periods, as girls start menstruation at different age. Also, I'd assume her nutrition, diet and style of living aren't exactly healthy for her body. Stress, excessive execise (running away from zombies: check; running away from zombies with a toddler on her back: check) and not enough food combined together can be the reason of why Clementine doesn't have to deal with periods.

    However if she does, I'm sure Christa explained it to her and taught how to take care of it.

  • They would talk about boners and puberty, but forgot about periods?

    It's probably just an oversight on the creators' part.
