My period always soaks through



Check these out, too...

  • Pad prob! How do I get them from my locker to the bathroom?
  • Have a happier period--yes, really!--with our playlist
  • Does it hurt when you first get your period?
  • I need longer pads! How do I tell Mom?
  • What stinks down south?
Whenever I put on pads, once I sit down, they scrunch up and I end up bleeding around them. Once, I bled through my pads, underwear and my pants! I was at school, so it was mortifying. Is it normal for it to be THIS heavy on the first day?
 

When it comes to periods, your body has a mind of its own. What’s “normal” for one gal may be totally different for the next. For most, the heaviest days are usually somewhere between days one and three.

 

Pads, no doubt, can be kinda a pain. Handling worries of leakage, not to mention how uncomfortable they can be, is no walk in the park. Next time you wear a pad, try one with “wings.” These side flaps will hold it in place (hopefully). If you’ve got a heavy flow, make sure to get one that’s extra long and a li’l thicker: It should say “heavy” on the package.

 

When you’re ready, it’s def worth considering tampons. As long as you change them when the box says, you’ll spend your day a bit more stress-free. Unfortunately, there’s always a chance of leakage when you have your monthly visitor, so stop by the restroom when you’ve got a chance to make sure everything’s A-OK or wear a panty liner or pad in addition as backup. Another hint: wear dark undies and bottoms. That way, if there’s a leak, you’ll be sure to know before your classmates.

OMG this is so weird! I have the same exact problem and it still leaks through to my underwear even if the pad has wings.... I'm still getting used to the whole period thing and I really don't like it. It's messy embarassing emotional and interrupting! I Don't know what to do I keep staining my underwear cuz my pad gets all scrunched up and blood goes onto my underwear. I feel like I'm peeing myself when I get up from my chair or sit down. I hope it gets better because right now I don't consider my period a friend.

MOD MOD MOD!!! I wear a tampon and I pad because my tampon always soaks through and I hate it!!!Is there any way I can prevent this that way I don't always have to wear a pad with a tampon???

 

 

Hey girly! Tampons come in different sizes, and you should get the one that's right for your flow. Maybe try getting super, or super plus tampons, if you need to.

MOD MOD MOD!!! The first two days of my period are very heavy. Like I have to change my pad every hour. But after the first two days it starts to slow down. Should I be concerned???

 

 

Hey girly! That sounds pretty normal to me. Every girl's cycle, and flow is different. I wouldn't be concerned if I were you. However, if you really want to make sure, I'd ask your doc Smile

MOD..MOD..MOD I have to change an overnight pad about every 3 hours..is that normal? Is there anything to make it not as heavy?

 

 

Hey girly girl! Some girls just have heavy periods, and I wouldn't worry about it too much. If you're concerned though, I'd ask your doc, just to make sure Smile
