Is it possible to shorten your period by soaking up all the blood as it comes ou!


Question: Is it possible to shorten your period by soaking up all the blood as it comes out...?
...with toilet paper? Like I'll sit on the toilet for 10 or 20 minutes getting a lot of blood out till I can't see more. I do that every couple hours, only because we are out of supplies. But will that shorten it or make it stop faster when you soak it up with TP?

Answers:

No, it won't make it any shorter. All you are doing is replacing the job done by a pad or a tampon.

Menses leak out of your uterus very gradually (usually over several days). Soaking them up as they come out doesn't speed up the process.



No, the blood comes from the uterus and just drains through the vagina. As you can't reach the uterus then soaking it up won't make a difference.



idk but when im in the shower i clean my self a lot down there so the smell goes away faster when my period is over.. hint hint if your sexually active then that helps



I don't think thats a good idea. It will still be the same.
