A Barbie Doll Who Gets Her Period is Now a Thing In The Toy World

Barbie is pretty effing cool these days, what with her brand new adjustable ankles for flat shoes, her more realistic body proportions and even her stick on stretch marks to make girls feel better about themselves.

But taking the new trend of creating relatable dolls to a whole new level of realism, this new PERIOD BARBIE is now a thing that exists in the world, complete with teeny tiny sanitary pads to educate girls on the ins and outs of menstruation.

We're mainly just confused about the logistics of having a period when your vagina is entirely smooth and shiny plastic.

'Normal Barbie' creator, Nikolay Lamm is hoping that the new Lammily doll is a step in the right direction for 'normalising' periods for young girls, telling The Huffington Post: "I've read horror stories of kids thinking that they were dying during their first period."

"Parents are also wary of approaching this subject. So I feel Lammily's 'Period Party' can introduce kids to menstruation in a very fun and disarming way, and give parents a very useful tool."

A bit like the awesome girl at school who saved you in your times of need, Period Barbz comes prepared for ALL period-based mishaps, with pads and liner stickers, extra underwear, a calendar, dot stickers to keep track of her menstruation cycle, and an informative pamphlet. She just LOVES periods.

When we're due on, you can without fail always find us rolling around in a field covered in sanitary pads.

Ain't no party like a Period Party. Let us know what you think about the world we live in with a tweet to @CosmopolitanUK.
