How do deal with my heavy period on my vacation?!


Question: I am going on a family vacation to the Caribbean this Friday 15thb(I am so excited!), but I am scheduled for my period the 16th (ugghh). In January, i was supposed to get it on the 7th but it came on the 16th so it would come while I was at the beach! So annoying. Anyway, I have a pretty heavy period. Well at least days 2 and 3 are (I need to change a super tampon every 2 1/2-3 hours.. gross!). And every time on the night of day 2 going into day 3 Ieak when I am sleeping. It's so gross. I have done the whole put a pad on with pantiliners but it doesnt work. It like drips to my butt so I am sleeping on my blood. My mom and sister were also scheduled to have their periods while on vacation but they both got theirs today, so now I am the only one.

How can I make it discreet? (I am sharing a bathroom with my older brother!)
and How can I ensure I won't leak?
also, what do I do on the airplane if I need to change? Can you put a pad in the "toilet" on the plane?
is there a...

I have the same problem with the heavy periods! I'll give you some help from experience.
When you mention your problems with leaking up your butt in the night, so just layer the pad so that when the one in the middle ends, another pad goes up behind your butt. It's a real lifesaver!
A way to keep it discreet is to keep your pads in your bag, and to tuck one in your pocket if you need one. Garbage can go in a seperate bag that you can dispose of without anyone seeing (this will also apply to the plane. I don't think flushing pads are allowed - it could plug it up). If you feel that your period is really bad, wear thick pads/tampons, then wear an extra pair of underwear. It will help keep any leaks from showing before you get to the bathroom.
There is a chance that your period could come late again, if so, be ready.

u r in bad shape
good luck
