There are several products on the market that can be used instead of pads or tampons.
Both are pull on pants that are disposable and are really designed for someone who has light incontinence but would work for this too, the only problem is that they would be very expensive compared to using pads, even if you had to change pads twice as often the pants would still cost more.
One is made by Poise and come in a pink plastic bag type package. The pants part is a stretchy cloth like material the hugs the body good so there isn't any real bad "panty line" type of problem with them. The absorbent part is more like a very large pad that runs from front to back, even up the back some.
The second one is made by Tena and is basically the same thing as the Poise pants. They are both advertised on TV so you can get an idea of what they are.
If I were to use either of them, I would probably use them over a pad to catch any "accidents" from overflow or having to wait too long to change the pad. I don't think I would use them all the time by themselves due to the cost.
Good luck.

If your menstrual flow is so heavy that you're using adult diapers for it, I think you really need to see a GYN doctor and find out what's causing it and what can be done about it. It's not healthy for you to be losing so much blood every month.

it truly is a dam solid theory. I had 3 fibroids and only earlier menopause, i might want to not sneeze, chortle, stroll or a lot of something without gushing. I used to positioned on 3 tampons, 2 pads and a bathtub towel after I went to artwork. they are asserting fibroid shrink after menopause.. you're probable youthful yet a minimum of you've theory-about man or woman diapers.

You might try the Diva Cup. It doesn't leak and is so much less messy than other options. If your flow is really heavy, you'd probably have to empty it more often than 2x a day...but still, you should look into it. Just google diva cup.
