Spoilers! Dam

Menstrual cup ? I thought the show was about zombies

Terrible episode

Do they make a male version of the mesntruating cup for the liberal men?

Glad I stopped watching this trash

Funny how nearly all zombie apocalypse movies never show females needing menstrual products (pads, tampons, cups, pain meds). It's like periods just vanish along with the need to brush one's teeth.

Like I needed even more reasons to watch!

FYI you said they didn’t depict a certain brand….they did. It’s a TheDivaCup according to the card she reads

LMAO

Greta or Ellie?

Why is Ellie so ugly?

Y’all saying it was gross and all but all they did was show the packaging 🙄 like grow up.

The most disgusting thing ever

Euw… some things are private. Geez

You can tell this show was produced by lgbtq people smh

This episode of The Last of Us was brought to you by Tampax 'Tampax, because who has time to worry about leakage during an outbreak, Tampax'

Too bad men can't use them
