Is it possible for your period to go through a pad?!


Question: Is it possible for your period to go through a pad!?
i wear maxi pads, and never really thought about this, but can it leak through even the plasticy part on the bottom of it!? I can always see the blood when i take it off throught the bottom, but it never actually goes throughWww@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Yes!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The plastic at the bottom acts as a waterproof barrier, but it is not 100% waterproof, you can still leak!. Depending on your flow and what sanitary towels you use, it is always possible!. If you have a heavy flow, you need to use a sanitary towel with a high capacity (there is a drop system on the packet, 5 is the most), that way the chances are lower of it happening!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

First, if you are going through the pad, or almost, and you are changing it regularly, you need to see a doctor or someone at a clinic!. I had something wrong and developed anemia (low iron in the blood)!. The problem was corrected and now I am fine, but I still wear a tampon and pad for the first 3 -4 days!. Birth control pills can help make your periods lighter!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well, i guess anything is possible!.
but most likely nooo that wouldn't happen!.
I can see it in the bottom too, but it never goes through because the plastic is blocking it!.
If you don't change it soon enough though, it's possible for it to leak through the side's and go onto your underwear/pants!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, its possilbe!

Depends on your flow really(of the blood) or somtimes the blood can leak through the sides of the pad!. To prevent it just change your pad every 4 hours!

When you buy the pads make sure they have more then 3 drops!. That is created for the flow of the blood!.

And also not a good idea to wear white trousers or anything of the sort!Www@Answer-Health@Com

it can, you should check your pad through the day but this is only possible on the heavy days of your period!. Maybe you should attempt to try tampons, this way you can see how much they will hold and you know you have to change those around every 4 hours!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't think it can!. Unless its torn somehow!. Staining just usually happens because the pad gets too full and has no more room for absorption so it flows in the easiest direction and onto your underwear, skin, and clothes!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well they are technically designed not to go thru the plastic portion, however, there's always the chances of leakage!. Just change your pads regularly and often and you shouldn't have to worry!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It IS possible, but only if your flow is extremely heavy and you dont change it often enough!. This happened to me once during an exam because i suffered with AWFULY heavy periods and was unable to go to the loo!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yeah, it's definitely possible, that's why you have to change often!. Well, that and bing sanitary, haha!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, it is possible, but that is why there are different pads!.
And when I use my pads, I can see it under that plastic as well, so I guess it is normal!. It just means the pad is absorbent!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The plastic will stop the blood from soaking through, but your pad will "overflow" if the flow is too heavy and you haven't changed often enough!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It doesn't exactly leak through the plastic but it will spill over the sides and you'll end up with a huge mess!. Change them often to prevent that mishap!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it can, depending on degree of flow!. it shouldn't though in normal circumstances!. you must change them often!. refer to instructions on package!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
