Any tips on how to explain postpartum bleeding and periods to a 3 1/2 year old? Thanks!

My 3.5 year old barged in on me putting a tampon in, then I caught him trying to put toilet paper in his butt/up against his butthole. So I HAD to explain it. Keep it as simple as possible. I said “mommy is a woman and women have a cycle once a month and tampons, which are not toilet paper, are to help the bleeding. Putting things in our body not meant for it could hurt us” all broken up is basically what I said. Haven’t had too much of an issue since.

Why do you need to explain that to a 3 year old ?
