What should I do when I'm completely out of pads?!


Question: Okay my period just started yesterday, and it was fine. Until I ran out of pads. Now I have bled through three pairs of panties, ruined one pair of pants and wasted four tampons.

I tried doing tampons, but I couldn't get them to insert right, and I don't have the right size. The using toliet paper method won't work either, because it is too heavy.

I am home alone, and I don't want to ruin anymore panties, so what do I do? I tried calling my mom at work, but she is a nurse and she was doing a case.

Tampons are the way to go, trust me! Keep working at it! My first time I had to use a mirror, and find the right spot using my finger. Oh, and get some saliva on the tampon a so it will slide in easier! (Sounds bizarre, but it works!!!)

You'll stay cleaner, only have to change it every eight hours, and not have to worry about the weird odor & stickiness. And there's not really a correct tampon "size". With a heavy flow, you should use the super absorbent ones anyway. Seriously, it is TOTALLY worth the awkward beginning to upgrade to tampons!

Good luck to you, hun! Cheers! ^^

go to a pharmacy.

call a friend and tell them to buy you some and bring them over ASAP!!!!!!

go buy some... or get a sponge if u cant

Use lots of toilet paper. I know this sounds gross but use one of the pairs of underwear and use it as a pad so you don't keep ruining your undies. Or you could ask a close neighbor. Sorry about that.

Just do your best with the toilet paper. Paper towels even until you can get some pads. I know it really sucks. But hyd peroxide is good for getting blood stains out. I say go pour some on your pants and undies now. It's the stuff in the brown bottle.

Call your grandmother, aunt, any female friends or family friends and ask them to buy you some asap. Or, if you have no choice, cut up and old clean tee shirt or kitchen towel or wash cloth and use it for a "rag."

Soak your bloody clothes in cold water with some ammonia to get the stains out.

Honey, you need read the instructions the how insert the tampon. Tampon is best part than pad. This way, it will save all your time to changing your panty and pad every times.

Call a friend to buy some for you or bring you some of hers. You really need to keep a supply of things like this

I actually agree with what Nikki said. Even though it sounds kinda gross, use one of the pairs of panties for now. Then if you can't get a hold of your mom, leave her a message telling her to pick some up on the way home from work.

there not ruiend. wash them in cold water with a spot remover, I have really bad periods to, I have to wear a heavy tampon and a night pad, so I know what its like to ruin pants and underwear, but you just need to wash them in cold. 2nd I would call a friend or ask a neighbor, and if your afraid that they will be weirded out, they are girls to. they know.

take a hot soak till your mum comes home btw i i know it sounds disgusting but i never bleed when im in water

that happened to me at school once. It was so heavy I used 7 pads and then I ran out. Ask a neighbor. If you are too scared then just get a TON of toilet paper and put them on your underwear. Don't wear pants just stay in your underwear. I would rather ruin underwear than my pants. Also go and sit on the toilet as long as you can and keep wiping away the blood

Edit: Don't wear a tampon without your mom because something bad can happen. I forgot what but its bad

just relax and try to put a tampon in.... that would save you alot of time. if you cant then take a hot bath then maybe go look in your moms bathroom she probally has a pad

okay, im 14 and I have had the same problem recently, okay tampons cane be really tricky and this sounds creepy but look in a mirror when you put it in and you shouldnt be able to feel anything. Just keep trying, it will soon feel normal. If your period is really heavy like mine was, you might need to go on birth control just to lighten your periods. I hope this helps!!

Get a wash cloth or dish rag and use it. Keep trying your mother or call another family member with a vehicle.

I think just try to call one of your friends who you know has had their period. Ask them to bring some over. Or call an aunt you are close to.



GOOOD LUCK!!!
