Any other women using adult diapers for heavy menstrual flow? If so, what brand?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

This question sounds like a joke, but, if you are serious, having a flow that heavy isn't normal and there are things that can be done to reduce it. That kind of flow can cause anemia, and besides the hassle, it's unnecessary, talk to your gynecologist.

Answer 3

If a flow was that heavy on regular basis, i'd have serious concerns about iron deficiency due to loss of that much blood. Seriously, check this with your doctor.
