Answer 1

Well, there's really nothing that can slow down your flow besides medications. You should be fine, your body is just cleaning itself out. Don't be afraid to use tampons, TSS is rare. You can use a tampon and then a pad. Alternate them, make sure you wash your hands before and after inserting one and you should be fine.

Answer 2

Toxic shock syndrome is a VERY RARE occurance. I've been using tampons since I was a teen and now I'm perimenopausal. I never had any problems. Toxic shock syndrome warning information is basically a disclaimer the manufactuers include in the product for liability issues.
Other than a tampon, I don't know what will help you not feel the flow. Pads feel wet no matter what kind you use.
You can try the lowest absorbancy tampon with a panty sheild for back up. Although if you are flowing heavily regular or super absorbency will provide the best protection. You can safely wear a tampon for 4 to 6 hours. Then change them. It is not recommended that you wear them overnight; although if you do they won't explode or anything! LOL! Give it a try.
As to the flow being heavy, every person and indeed every period can be different. As we age our cycles may remain on time (as mine are even in perimenopause) or they may even skip or becomes heavier or lighter.
Some women claim that eating sweets increases flow. I haven't had this experience.
Enjoy the concert!

Answer 3

Tampons are safe as long as you read the lable and do things properly, I was scared the first time too but they are truly a Godsend. they work pretty well. And i doubt that there's something to stop the bleeding. Just use tampons and pads... i hate periods

Answer 4

Relax this is normal just use heavy pads if bleeding lasts for more than 7 or 8 days then consult your doctor

It's not that very great to use a tampon either TSS is becoming a big problem in the world

Answer 5

This happens to a lot of women, myself included! Another option besides the tampon is called Instead. I like it better, as you do not have to worry about leakage if your flow is heavy. You can purchase these at Walgreens. They are inserted like a diaphragm, and collect all the fluid like a cup, for up to twelve hours! As long as you are not squemish about touching yourself, these are a great option, and can be inserted in the shower to avoid messes, and so you can come out completely clean! Have a good time!

Answer 6

use ibueprofen or aleve. they slow the flow, and as with your period, it can flow up to 6 or 7 days. if it is still really heavy on the 7 and it still goes afterwards, i would see a doctor. and tampons arent bad at all, just change them every 2-3 hours and you should be fine.

Answer 7

If your periods are REALLY heavy please see a doctor. I had heavy periods and kept putting off seeing the doctor and I ended up with cancer. You could have pulups in your uterus that are causing you to bleed heavily and can lead to cancer. Not trying to make you worry but if it keeps up go to the doctor.

Answer 8

That is normal. I recommend using a tampon just don't wear it more than four or five hours and you'll be fine.

Answer 9

you can use a tampon as long as you have the smallest for your flow.
