This video is an informative and hilarious look at menstruation from 1946 and put out by Disney and Kotex. The medical side is well done, but some of it is definitely dated.

I love the blog, Feminist Disney: Social Critique Through the Lens of Disney and Other Popular Social Media. This critical look at Disney, the princesses, and both gender and POC stereotypes is well written and funny.
