When you are on your period do you wear a pad or tampon overnight?

Tampons should not be worn overnight - tampons need to be changed every 4-6 hours which you can't do while sleeping, when laying down less blood flows down into the vaginal canal so there's a risk of using too high an absorbency for your flow, and you need to alternate with pads to allow your vagina a chance to clean itself after tampon use...overnight is the most convenient time to do this.
If you use tampons during the day you should switch to pads at night, there are overnight pads specifically for overnight use and you can use period underwear or a towel on the bed as back-up.
You can also use options such as menstrual cups and softcups overnight as although these are internal like tampons they are far safer so can be worn for up to 12 hours with any flow and as they don't prevent vaginal cleaning as tampons do it means there's no need to alternate with pads.
