How to keep my period from leaking at night?!


Question: How to keep my period from leaking at night?
Last night I woke up at 5:00 AM to find a big spot of blood on my sheets.I didn't leak through the pad but it came from the back and sides.Any ways (besides tampons) to keep from leaking onto the sheets?This is only my 2nd period =/

Answers:

I hate that! Trust me it gets easier to manage as you get older I use tampons but at night i add panty liners and a pair of snug shorts just in case I move to much causing the liner to shift out of place. Also have darker sheets that I only use during my cycle that I don't mind getting ruined should it leak. workout shorts and overnight pads should help.



It sounds like your pad isn't long enough and it doesn't have wings. Also, do you wear loose underwear? Pads are generally snug against your crotch which is why the ads show it never leaks from the sides or back. So I'd consider getting regular bikini style panties AND longer pads with wings on them (I'm a huge fan of Always). Also, you might want to go to a hospital supply store or a place that sells products geared towards seniors and they have those hospital bed bads that are the size of a todder's blanket and you just put it over your butt area (they're generally 3ftx3ft) and it will leak on there but it won't get on your sheets.



what i do is that i wear 3 pads. i have a normal pad. and two small ones on the very top to make sure that the fluids dont go thru my crack lol so i just close the crack with the pads. or i put a sheet or blanket that i wont miss under my lower area so in case i leak it wont get on my nice sheets.

the shape of the pads on the panties are like
_
T = | is the normal pad and the = are the two small ones. hope that makes sense!

good luck :)

there are night pads that have support in the back and i think are thicker and you can always put a towel down over the sheets or something

commerical for always and someones mom



Perhaps use the largest tampon at night and maybe a pad on top. Don't worry !!
