heavy period


Question Posted Thursday August 13 2009, 2:43 am

16/f
This is a little embarrasingg but I have a heavy flow..my period is extremely heavy when ever its that time of the month..its so heavy that it'll fill up a large pad in an hour or less...its so embarrasing because it sometimes leaks out and gets on my jeans..and ill walk around with a big period stain till someone says something to me..I don't know how to control it. How can I slow down my period without taking any birth control..and how can I fix my leaking problem..

You can't slow down the flow of your period without the help of birth control.

Try using a tampon. You don't feel every leak drip out like you would with a pad, and it usually doesn't get on your clothes. It can happen sometimes, but I've been using tampons for almost 2-3 years now and it's only happened to me a few times.

Use a Super absorbency tampon. Since you tend to have a heavier flow, a tampon with that absorbency will work better. :) If I were you, I'd also just bring an extra pair of jeans & panties with you when you're out & on your period so that way if you do leak through, you have a back up pair of jeans/panties so you're not walking around with a huge, embarrassing stain.

the only thing i can think of would be wearing a super tampon and a big pad and try not to go out for long periods of time when you're on your period =/

That would be embarissing. used to happen to me. In case it still does happen always have a sweat shirt to put around your waist. If you can wear tampons wear one of those plus the pad for extra protection to stop those embarissing spills, hope this helps!

You said large? Go with extra-large or jumbo. That's about all you can do. This is a natural thing and you can't slow it down without the chemicals in some form of drug/medicine.

Good luck.
