Am I doing something wrong?
Whenever I use tampons I still leak ALLOT and it's like i'm not even wearing one so I have to wear a pad also. This happens ususally on the first two days of my period I guess when my flow is heavy but the rest of the time it doesn't leak. Am I putting them in wrong or what? Should I try a bigger tampon and put a new one in more often? Has anyone experienced this problem and what did you do? Also my mom just got me these pantyliner things instead of pads (to wear with tampons) so I need to do something about this or it will leak through the pantyliner.

Okay, defintely use a bigger tampon. I don't know what absorbency you use, but go for the next one during your first two days of your period. Then use the ones that you don't have a problem with for the rest of your period. I sometimes go through this depending on my flow. If you see even the bigger absorbency isn't working out that well, you'll probably need to change it more frequently. If it's bad try changing it more often. Don't worry about it it's defintely normal.
Good luck and hope this helps.

hey
yes, i experience that problem as well. when i'm on the first few days of my period, i use super / heavy tampons [i use playtex] & keep them in normal time along with a pad. but i hate pads. so i just change my tampon more often & keep spares. i know it's annoying, but if you're just at home & in sweats, just keep a tampon in & a pad on. no, you're probably not putting them in wrong, cause other people have the same problem. the blood probably won't leak through the panyliner if you use a heavy / super tampon. so dont worry about it.
overall, my suggestion would be to use a bigger tampon & change it more often if it keeps leaking. it's like, if you are on the first day of your period & you're using light tampons & it's leaking... yeh try larger tampons.
