Whenever I have my period, its always really heavy.
So this week I'm going to a dance convention which is like 10 hours away. I'll be there for 4 days
My first question is: how many pads should I pack?
2nd question is: When I'm dancing, I always feel uncomfortable on my period.
3rd question: Since tampons dont work for me yet, what kind of pad should i use?
thank youuu

Pay attention to how many you use on your average (or heaviest) day. Multiply that times 4 (for the number of days) & there's your answer.
2.) Define uncomfortable. If you have cramps or bloating, take a couple Midol an hr before dancing.
3.) If you're really heavy, use an overnight pad (the one with the highest absorbancy). I know you said tampons don't work for you yet, but when you get situated with them, they're so much better & you'll probably never wear a pad ever again.

And I suggest wearing the liarge overnight pads, along with an extra pair of underwear for more protection. Always is a good brand for pads. Good luck at your covention and I hope everything works out well! [ sugarplum07's advice column | Ask sugarplum07 A Question ]
ductape_n_roses answered Wednesday January 24 2007, 1:02 am: 10 hours--I'd pack 4 with me just in case.
4 days--I'd bring the whole pack and a half along with me. haha, i'd rather bring too much than leak somewhere sometime.
Tampons, I'd say, would be the number 1 choice but since you're not used to them, make sure you get a pad with wings on them. When you're dancing, use a regular or light one that is extra long just you can have a little assurance of it not leaking in the back or the front. Stayfree is the best kind, in my opinion, so get any of these:
Green regular for moderate
Green long for light
Orange for night/moderate to light
Orange for night--light extra long
