Period question(possibly TMI) 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
I’m on day 3 of my cycle and it’s a very heavy flow. For three mornings straight now since it’s started, I have woke up to period stained sheets and I’m so beyond tired of washing them because of leakage. I wear pads to bed and I change into a fresh one before I even climb into bed. What am I doing wrong?? Any advice is very appreciated! Thanks in advance!

My periods are very heavy the first two days as well. I put one the really long ones that go all the way up my butt lol. And have to set an alarm in the night to change it to prevent leaks.

I might have to start setting an alarm too because this is getting ridiculous. 🤦♀️ what brand and kind do you use if you don’t mind me asking? and do you like them pretty well?

Idk if you can or would use tampons, but for the first two days of mine before my birth control, I would use a tampon overnight with a pad & set an alarm to wake up so I could change it during the night. It helped stopped my leaks. Just a pain in the ass to have to wake up to change & go back to bed but it worked for me.

I’m going to set an alarm tonight. It’s just odd because this is my second cycle I’ve had since I gave birth in March(exclusively breastfeeding) and now that it’s back it’s so heavy. Heavier than it was before birth. Before it was somewhat light.

mine didn’t get lighter until I went on birth control. But yeah maybe setting an alarm will help you from leaking, that definitely is one of the most annoying things ever. Maybe mention it to your doctor to see if they could help you at all.

Maybe look into buying those Thinx underwear to wear at night with your pad? I’ve heard they aren’t good with heavy flow but might help prevent leakage with pads?

What size pad are you using? Maybe you should go up in size?

I’m really not sure what size. I just get the u by Kotex and they’re in the regular.

Bigger size nighttime pad and/or pair it with a tampon at night

Night time pads are longer and might work better than regular ones. You could also use a tampon or cup.

As a teen I had some ridiculous periods to where the over nights wouldn’t contain everything while sleeping . I had to lay another one sideways across my butt too over night.
