For some reason I get REALLY heavy flow periods - go through a super plus tampon in about 3 hours. i hate having it at high school because i don't want to have to change them so often because its quite embarrassing, really...
i want to know if theres a way that i can "protect" myself without having to run to the bathroom during school 3 times a day... i was thinking of possibly getting one of those menstrual cups, do they work good for heavy flows and for teens?

However, I suggest talking to your doctor about birth control. I used to have the same problem as you. I had a super heavy flow with really bad cramps and my periods would last 10 days and I would only get 8 days without my period when my next 10 day menstrual cycle would come. Basically I was living in a menstrual hell. Now I take birth control and my period only comes once a month, it is super light (I use regulars now), I don't get cramps, and my period only lasts 3-4 days. If for some reason you are not able to use birth control I just saw new tampons in the store the other day that are higher up than super plus so maybe you could look into buying those. Hope I helped =] [ courrt7's advice column | Ask courrt7 A Question ]
