Periods stop for no woman, not even an Emmy-nominated celeb. And so, during Sunday night's Emmy's pre-show, a mid-cycle Amy Schumer answered E! host Giuliana Rancic's perennial red-carpet inquiry in a way only Amy Schumer could — by getting really real.

Rancic: "Who are you wearing this evening?"

Schumer: "Vivienne Westwood, Tom Ford shoes and an o.b. tampooooon! Woooo!"

Woo, indeed.
