* The Webcomic ''BAD Endings'' uses this as a subversion of the {{Ecchi}} genre AccidentalPervert trope. The male MC as a tendency to trip and accidentally grope girls, but in reality he's using this on purpose to grope every girl in the school. When he "trips" and pulls the panties down on the class president, he tries to run, but turns around and sees that, rather than get angry, she is standing still and crying. Turns out she's in the middle of her period and is mortified. This causes the male MC to stop and remember that girls have periods, and this results in him getting the [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown ever-loving crap kicked out of him]] by the boyfriends of the girls he has been harassing. The class president is then taken by the other girls to the bathroom with them offering their hygiene supplies to comfort her.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Literature/TalesOfThePack'': {{Averted}} as Lexie unexpectedly getting hers is an annoyance and plot point. However, once she has become a werewolf, her period stops, replaced with her shifting under the full moon, along with the other half-blood werewolves in her pack, so for them it becomes true. Then it's partly {{averted}} once again when Lexie wears her knife, which stops her shapeshifting, while she gets her period after this.

* Averted in ''Film/{{PitchBlack}}'', as the survivors are running through the darkness, the alien monsters are following them. Riddick eventually says that the monsters are following the scent of blood; period blood to be specific. Everyone initially turns to Captain Fry, the only woman on the crew, until Riddick says "not her, her" pointing at the teenage [[SweetPollyOliver Jack]].

Compare to NobodyPoops, NoSuchThingAsDehydration, ExposedToTheElements, FrigidWaterIsHarmless, and NoDeadBodyPoops. Aversions usually happen if the period or the menstrual cycle is the specific focus of the work in question, and usually involve FirstPeriodPanic, AllPeriodsArePMS, MenstrualMenace or PregnancyScare. This can be paired with PsychosexualHorror.

* ''Literature/TheTwilightSaga'': WordOfGod says that ''that'' blood is [[ArtisticLicenseBiology "dead blood"]] and not nearly as interesting to vampires such as Edward, but it's still kind of awkward. It also still gets the FridgeLogic going.

* Played straight in ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer''. In the seventh season, there were twenty-ish females of the right age living in the Summers house, but there was never any mention of supplies, moodiness, or even ice cream.

* ''Series/{{Yellowjackets}}'': {{Averted}}; the girls have been in the wilderness so long that their periods synchronize, and many complain about cramps. Travis also claims Natalie's period is scaring away the game while they're hunting.

Travis also claims Natalie's period is scaring away the game while they're hunting. This is [[JustifiedTrope justified]], however, since by the second season starvation has become an issue (malnutrition can stop menstruation).

** ''Arrows of the Queen" (the first book of the series) has thirteen-year-old Talia, adjusting to [[MundaneLuxury how much better she has it in Haven]], reflect that the menstrual sponges available to her now are more comfortable and convenient than the rags she'd used. She also has access to an herbal tea that, as part and parcel of being FantasyContraception, she can use to control her cycles.
