My daughter had that problem and the dr said if it went on for 24 hours that heavy to see a doctor...
You could also change to another pad, one that holds heavy leaks
I also have that problem but i cant wear tampons so i have to just wear pads, its a nuisance, i know x
Wear pads and tampons. Avoid tampons,since it doesn't allow proper out flow of bad blood.Wear thick pads if you have a heavy flow.If your afraid of staining wear adira period panties. They are cotton and comfy.
Only if your flow is actually heavy enough to warrant using a tampon and if you use correct absorbency - do not use tampons with spotting or light flow as this increases TSS risk, but otherwise the risks are no greater than wearing tampons at any other point during menstruation.If you're a heavy bleeder it would be wise to consider menstrual cups - these hold far more than tampons and pads combined plus have light suction so don't leak like tampons or pads. Cups can be worn with any flow for up to 12 hours, and unlike tampons they're safe to wear overnight and no need to alternate with pads. Menstrual cups can also help to lessen flow and cramps.
It depends on her flow and what absorbency she is using.I have hyper-menorrhagia - I would leak through an ultra absorbency tampon, overnight pad, and my clothing within 15 minutes on a heavy day. For most women withmenorrhagia tampons aren't enough to deal with heavy flow, menstrual cups are a better option as they hold more flow, don't leak like tampons, and unlike tampons cups can be worn overnight with no need to alternate with pads.
Approximately4 per day.Considering that tampons should be changed every 4-6 hours, and that tampons cannot be worn overnight while sleeping, at most women should be using 4 tampons per day - obviously it depends on the woman's flow and what absorbency is used as if a woman's flow is too heavy for the tampons she's using them she'd need to change tampons more often and thus use more tampons.
Use menstrual cups.Cups are internal like tampons but safer so pose no health risks and as such can be worn for 12 hours with any flow and any time - thus no need to change at school or worry about carrying spares. Menstrual cups hold far more than tampons and pads combined, they also have light suction, as such they don't leak like tampons, pads and other options can.Use period panties.Underwear that either have pads built-in or have a leak-proof lining to prevent leaking, these can be worn with your normal pads as extra protection but without the bulk. Team-up with a maxi-pad, overnight pad or evenincontinencepads (these hold more than sanitary pads) and be sure to change your pads often, with regular to heavy flow this will be more than enough to prevent leaks at school.Replace your pads every hour when flow is heavy; have extra underwear and pants as a backup in your locker.
Pads are popular the world over as they are usually made out of excellent material that has good absorption power. There are many kinds of pads available for different types of flow. Some people like to wear them in conjunction with tampons as a reassurance and back-up. You are easily aware when a pad needs changing, and this might not be so for a tampon alone. Also, many people with heavy flow are also feeling uncomfortable and may find pads less stressful than tampons. It comes down to personal preference.
It's personal preference.Some women prefer using pads, although commercial pads like Always or Kotex may be uncomfortable as they're rough and don't allow air flow so can be uncomfortable when active, cloth pads like Lunapads or underwear with pads built-in like Lunapanties are a lot more comfortable to use when active.Some women prefer using tampons, although they aren't as bulky as pads so give more freedom when active for many women tampons increase cramps. It is a far better idea to use softcups or menstrual cups, which are also safer and more reliable.
It depends on your flow and when you'll be wearing tampons. Tampons need to be changed every 4-6 hours, remember too that you cannot wear tampons with light flow, overnight, and you need to alternate with pads.
One option would be to use menstrual cups. Menstrual cups are internal like tampons but safer and more hygienic so can be worn for 12 hours, including with any flow and overnight without need to alternate with pads. Cups are more comfortable than tampons or pads and don't leak like tampons or pads.
A child shouldn't use tampons - tampons aren't recommended to pre-teens or teens, it's recommended that younger women use menstrual cups which are safer than tampons so pose no risks such as TSS or dioxin exposure. As cups are safer there are fewer precautions for a child to have to remember. Menstrual cups are a better option for heavy flow anyway because they hold a lot more thna tampons (tampons hold 18ml max, cups up to 42ml max), they don't increase bleeding as tampons can, they create light suction to prevent leaking, also unlike tampons cups can be worn overnight and no need to alternate with pads so a lot more convenient with heavier flow.
Tampons can cause additional bleeding. Tampons dry-out vaginal tissues causing ulceration which can bleed - in the 1970's when tampons like Rely were on the market many women were admitted to hospital with life-threatening vaginal hemorrhaging caused by damage done by these tampons. Although modern tampons are far safer, rayon tampons can still cause damage which can result in vaginal bleeding, many women also notice their menstrual flow reduces when they switch from tampons to options like menstrual cups but we're not sure what explains this reduction in flow exactly.
It really depends if your usually heavy on your flow but i thinks its better to take precaution and wear thick pads that are long
