It introduces key reproductive organs, describes the menstrual cycle and ovulation, and provides reassurance about what to expect when starting periods. The video also explores different sanitary products and helps normalise this natural stage of puberty. This video supports the following lesson:

• RSE & PSHE, Upper key stage 2, Year 6, Y6 Safety and the changing body, Lesson 5: Conception
