My period is heavy,each day I have used 5 pads.
My period is heavy at the moment, what can I do?
It just started yesterday, and each day I have used about 5 pads, each time being half full.. or covered.. I don’t know what word to use for that lol.. Is there anything (other than taking pills) that I can do to lighten this?
And what I also find gross is that I can sometimes feel the blood coming out (is this normal?). Pads are starting to annoy me because they are just not really comfortable.. Should I swap to tampons? And how should I tell my mum I want to swap to tampons? We aren’t really that close, and after I told her when I first got my period, we haven’t talked much about it since then.. Any advice? Please help

I say definitely go for tampons. If you have heavy flow and your using pads, there is a much bigger chance of leakage, and you don’t want a leak onto your pants do you! . I would consider using super tampons for heavy flow. I was scared to use them but seriously, they are soooooo much more comfortable and you feel much more secure. Pair the tampons with a panty liner and you will be fine. Just read the instructions on the leaflet that comes with the tampons on how to insert them. You don’t have to talk to your mum about it

But remember to never use tampons overnight, use the extra long night pads for that, because you can’t leave them in for more then 6 hours and it is not good to continuously use tampons for ages throughout your period.
Hope this helps good luck.
