11 yo boys drowning out 11 yo girls

I’m a teacher currently teaching a bunch of 11 year olds about personal hygiene. I find it wild how many boys interrupt and talk over girls when I ask for input on menstrual products. I mean, if they had anything useful to add it would be fine, but their goal is simply to be the center of attention. I shut that shit down fast, but any ideas or advice you have would be appreciated!

Please note that separating the boys and girls is a) not logistically possible (understaffed school with not enough classrooms) and b) I think all students should learn about all bodies.
