TheLastOfUs has been applauded for breaking down a taboo that often surrounds menstruation and menstrual products in episode 6.
In episode 6, one of those said small moments broke down a taboo that often surrounds menstruation and menstrual products, normalising doing the simple act of demonstrating in a TV show that some people do indeed have periods, even if there’s a world-destroying pandemic going on.
In a previous instalment of the programme, Ellie was shown finding a box of tampons while Joel dug up his old stash of equipment. But in the sixth episode of The Last of Us, a product that some viewers might have never seen before was shown on screen, along with an instruction manual – a menstrual cup.The cup is given to Ellie by Maria , the wife of Joel’s brother Tommy
An alternative to other products such as sanitary pads and tampons, a menstrual cup is inserted into the vagina when someone is on the period and is made from materials such as silicone or latex.Many fans expressed how delighted they were for the cup to be shown on the series, with one tweeting: ‘I am so obsessed with #TheLastOfUs finally showing us how people deal with menstruation in the apocalypse.
‘As an ObGyn and fan of the show, I love that #TheLastOfUs featured a menstrual cup this week. Period,’ another person said, while someone else wrote: ‘Menstrual cup representation on this week’s The Last of Us… that’s what we like to see.’
