If you sleep 8 hours or less you can wear a tampon to bed, but if you sleep more than that dont wear one.. u could get toxic shock syndrom. Try buying pads that are called OVERNIGHT PADS i think by like kotex or something. they are longer and wider to help protect more places. And being serious about this. you can always get depends if its really that bad and u are really that worried about it.. One of my older friends had to do this because she bled soooo much overnight.. Good Luck

if you do this im sure that everything will be all right.
hope i helped

You can also put an old towel underneath you so your bed sheets won't stain. If you had your period for a while, try using a tampon. You won't leak if you use a tampon, unless you have a heavy flow. Also, you can sleep on your stomach, instead of on your back. This happens to a lot of girls and it's normal, don't worry. Hope I helped :)

heddo answered Wednesday February 16 2005, 5:49 pm: htey sell overnight pads which are longer (they go way up to your butt crack) and wider. they also have a higher absorbancy to help you not leak during the night.
hope I helped,

FrEe2bMe answered Wednesday February 16 2005, 5:26 pm: Hey. Well, the easier answer to this would be to lay on your stomach instead...but if not..this actually happens to a lot of girls. It can be frustrating, I know, but it's something you just have to deal with. You may not like my suggestion, but it's effective. You need to line your undies with 2 maxi pads one placed more towards the front and the other slightly over lapping it towards the back. Then take several (like 8) pantiliners and place them everywhere in your undies where you normally leak through at. I know it will suck and feel like you are wearing a diaper, but a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do. Like for instance, if you flow is heaviest towards the back and that is where you are leaking through, place the pantyliners all over overlapping and really fat back and on the sides and the front. That's the best I can tell you, it may sound crummy, but it works! :) [ FrEe2bMe's advice column | Ask FrEe2bMe A Question ]
