I know this is probably gross, but I have a serious question. My period is usually extremely heavy, soo bad that I use a SUPER PLUS tampon AND a long, overnight pad. And within an hour - hour and a half, it's everywhere (even going off the pad.) It's usually like that for 4-5 days. I hate going to school because I am constantly paranoid and worried that I'm leaking. Well I finally went to the gynecologist, and they got me on the pill. (I can't start it till the Sunday AFTER my period starts..which is already 2 months late.) Well I am scared I'll start at school. Everytime that happens, I get so nervous and I end up having a panic attack all day because its just sooo much blood. So my question is, is there anything else I can do to make sure that I won't leak everywhere? (Like I said, i already use the highest absorbancy tampon *and* pad together.)
talktocc answered Friday April 16 2010, 3:29 am: this is a hard question to answer because you are already doing everything that is possible my advice to you would be go to the bathroom as much as you can while your on your period and even if the tampon and pad are not full change them this should take some stress off. and while you are waiting for your period to start i would wear a pad and take so pants to school and put them in your locker i know it will feel wired wear a pad when your not on your period but this way if you start in the middle of class you some what covered and if you still bled through your pad you wont feel to bad because you can change your pants. i hope that help you some and everything works out for you cc [ talktocc's advice column | Ask talktocc A Question ]
