A young girl’s initial experience with feminine hygiene products can be quite bewildering, as evidenced by a recent viral video. The video features eight-year-old Mia, who is deeply engrossed in filming her makeup tutorial when she stumbles upon a pantyliner. At first glance, she mistakes it for a sponge or perhaps a bizarre beauty blender. The confusion that washes over her face is both adorable and relatable.
In the brief 40-second clip shared by Twitter user JamieHarris, Mia begins with confidence, applying her makeup until she encounters the mysterious flat item. Her reaction is priceless—who wouldn’t be perplexed by such an object? The worry etched on her face as she tries to decipher its purpose is hilarious.
With the spirit of a true makeup artist, she attempts to repurpose the pantyliner, contemplating if it might serve as a lip gloss blotter or maybe even a forehead cover. Despite the awkwardness of the moment, Mia perfectly encapsulates the bewilderment we all feel when watching skilled beauty gurus navigate their vast array of products. Those talented influencers move at lightning speed, and one could easily mistake a super-absorbent tampon for a concealer applicator—just nodding along as if it makes perfect sense.
Perhaps it’s time for an open conversation with our children about feminine products earlier than we anticipated. These humorous experiences might actually warrant keeping them in the dark for a bit longer. For instance, before I explained to my own kids what my feminine hygiene items were for, my son thought they were merely fun stickers. I often discovered pads creatively stuck to windows, resembling tiny airplanes!
Mia’s imaginative take on using a pantyliner for foundation or BB cream isn’t as far-fetched as it seems from a child’s perspective.
