Midol - Comfort is Power (2022) 1:34 (USA)

A woman at a nightclub discovers she has her period. A waitress carries plates and breaks the fourth wall by telling the camera "we're pretty freaking resilient".

"Every single month, without fail, we go on this rollercoaster" - women from all walks of life and in all sorts of situations tell about PMS and how we grin and bear it. It ends by saying that taking a break and taking the day off is powerful.

Well, yeah, I can agree with that but when I turn to Midol it's usually me saying to myself or my daughter "don't be a hero", it's okay to use some pain relief that also helps with the bloat and the tiredness. We're northerners, see, and have this odd thing about trying to take as few medications as possible in life as if it's some sort of high score to break. Literally had her without any pain relief at all, to put things into perspective.

But sometimes man, sometimes you really should just take a Midol, a break, and a big glass of water. Because after twenty minutes it'll all feel better and you can get on with it. Whatever it is.
