It’s a great time to be a fan of dispiriting but undeniably funny NASA trivia! Back in April, Comedy Central premiered Taking The Stage, a digital series of short stand-up sets from female comedians. One of those comedians, Marcia Belsky, has a knack for a tune, and she included this one in her set:
That was then, this is now, and Belsky’s righteous Sally Ride-inspired jam is everywhere.
@christaallen will that be enough? 😌 #100tampons
That’s Christa “Young Jennifer Garner In 13 Going On 30” Allen, lip-syncing into a tampon, as is only right and proper. As a result of Allen’s video, as well as others (like the one below, which dates back to the far-flung past better knows as August 2020), Belsky’s tune has once again gone viral, this time on TikTok (and now Instagram).
@thekatemarlowe 100 in 6 days…just to be safe #100tampons #nasa menaretheproblem #sallyride #marciabelsky
So now TikTok is doing its thing! Here’s “100 Tampons,” additional fun fact edition:

This one’s “an actual OBGYN lip-syncing into a wand” edition:

It’s gone international, too. And it’s made it over to makeup TikTok, a true sign of ubiquity:
@nataliereesie This song is a bop. #nasa #fyp #girlproblems
But best of all, it’s become evident that “100 Tampons” has also become a PSA of sorts. Will someone please tell men about menstruation?
