This “Realistic” Barbie Teaches Children About Puberty

Meet Lammily, the realistic "anti-barbie" who has well and truly broken the plastic Barbie mould.  Lammily upholds that average is beautiful - she boasts standard human body proportions and has a range of inspiring and diverse career options. Now, Lammily has gotten her period. While the doll was already equipped with stick-on acne, freckles and stretch marks, the new "period party" pack comes with various period accessories like pads and menstrual calenders. The site description reads: On average, a woman between the ages of 12 and 51 spends a total of 6 years on her menstrual period. Yet, while being a huge part of female life, this perfectly healthy natural process is still surrounded with taboos. Let’s start an open and positive conversation about our periods. The pack includes an educational pamphlet and aims to get young girls talking about menstruation in order to break down the stigmas attached. https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=65&v=lUIs5ZC37d8 Video via YouTube/Lammily
