Serious question(s) about your period?!


Question: Serious question(s) about your period?
I know your only supposed to wear your tampon for eight hours, so I wear pads at night. I ALWAYS bleed through, it somehow travels outside my undies and onto my inner thigh, then I end up bleeding through. I tried the pad with wings, won't work, so I came up with the idea of wrapping a thin pad around my undies, it works but its wasteful. So, is there any kind of overnight THICK (because I have a very heavy flow) pad that will keep the blood from seeping out?

Also, does anyone have this problem: does your blood travel up your butt crack and rest at the top of your undies? I end up bleeding through that way as well! Is there a pad that does the job of what I mentioned before as well as come up farther so I don't bleed through up there?

What are ways to soothe your cramps and/or butt pains when your clotting? Ive tried taking a scolding hot bath an using a hot pad on my stomach, won't work. Any other ways?

PLEASE only serious answers, if your a person who's gonna attempt to be funny, just fu..ck off!

Answers:

I have two suggestions. If this is a big problem for you, you can always buy adult diapers. They would take care of it, but their also wasteful/expensive/uncomfortable, so here's another idea. Get a pair of synthetic (i.e. not absorbant) shorts to wear over your pad and underwear. I have a pair of thick bike shorts that work well. Because they're not absorbant, they more or less trap the blood inside, and then you just wash them out later.



....it sounds kinda stupid but why dont you put two pads togehter. What i mean is overlap one on the other and it will make it longer so it doesnt run in your butt crack. I had the same problem at nite and it does work for me. Give it a try. Do you take any pain reliever for your cramps? I use excedrin back and body and it works wonders. I hope this helps!!!!! :)

ALWAYS MAXI OVERNIGHT. Yes theyre big but theyre not uncomfortable which is nice I know it sucks. and NEVER use hot because it increases the blood flow. so use pamprin MAX or midol. Hang in there Chicky :)



they do have overnight pads that are thicker/longer than most. i always get the superlong stayfree brand with wings, they actually have a cottony pad that absorbs well, i think kotex was the one that had that weird plastic crap over the top that doesnt absorb anything... if you tend to sleep on your back, try to place the pad further back than you normally would, and this may be too much information but it helps to kinda... "tuck" the pad into place, if you get what im saying... heat doesnt help my cramps either, just makes me sick to my stomach, i use bengay and sometimes ice packs.
