Question: Help! im on my period!.!. whats the best way to avoid leaking!?
alright so i got my period yesterday and the second day for me is always the worst!.
this usually wouldnt be a problem, but i have my math finals today from 8:00 - 10:30 (so 2 and half hours)!. we're not allowed to go to the washroom unless we get escorted by a teacher, and i REALLY dont want some random teacher listening to me put on a new pad outside the stall!.

Answers:
you say you have the thickest pads, but how long are they!? i used to have this problem and i used to put one in front of the other, but overlap them a little!. i used to find that if one filled up, it would then start to seep through to the other!. make sure you wear dark clothes just incase and take spare undies!. but really you shouldn't be embarrassed to go to the toilet and change as it is a natural part of life and both men and women know and deal with it these days!. GOOD LUCK!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I would really try using a tampon, a lot of girls don't want to use them, but for a heavy leak they aren't that bad, try tampax pearl!.

If you really really :) don't wanna use one then wear the pad and either wear two pads or take some toilet paper and also line your underwear and place some more near the whole so it soaks through the toilet paper, then the pad and that should hold!.

Good luck on your period and math final! :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you're not using tampons there isn't really much else you can do, other than change your pad just before the exam!.
If you need to change it during the exam, don't worry about your teacher listening, they'll probably be bored out of their skull in an day dream anyway!Www@Answer-Health@Com

For today you could wear two layers of panties, both with pads, so one will catch any leaks!. Wear black trousers/skirt!.
If you do visit the toilet, cough really loudly when you rip off the pad!.
But in the future, when you see your doctor ask for transanemic acid which reduce the flow of blood!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Why don't you try using a pad the you use at night!?

I would recommend that you start using tampons, then you can wear the tampon and a pad!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Use your thickest pad or a nighttime pad!. Put it on right b4 u have to go into your exam then change right after you should be fine! And dont be embarassed changing a pad with someone outside the door they have all been thru it!!!!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

you can wear 3 pads at a time, and if still having problem wear two pajama's under pants!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

use two pads but like not on top of each otherWww@Answer-Health@Com

well if the thickest pads wont hold for that long I suggest doubling them up or wearing a panti line and a padWww@Answer-Health@Com
