Are we really more open about periods these days, or is everyone just faking? With a camera and a few test subjects, you can put social attitudes to the test. You might be surprised by what you find.

Tampon Experiment

Try Your Own Experiment

Need some help with ideas? How about:

• Asking a guy you know to buy you tampons
• Giving your dad a quiz on periods
• Bringing your period up at dinner
• Having your brother or a male friend unwrap a tampon and tell you how it works
• Talking to your mom about periods only using slang terms

What You'll Need:

You really only need two things to capture your Social Experiment:

• Video camera or webcam w/microphone
• Your subjects' permission to post the video

When you're done, upload to the gallery and share what you've discovered!
