How do you know the difference between light days and heavy days?

Answer 1

The flow will be heavy,..or the flow will be light.

Number of pads will tell you much.

Answer 2

Light days have less bleeding or are lighter in type of blood. If you have thicker blood with clots that is a heavy day. If you are asking because you don't know what kind of pad/tampon to buy then think of it like this - if you use a regualr and it is ok for a few hours then you are light, if you need to change it each hour or two then you have a heavier flow. Some days if you can use just a panty liner and that is a light day.

Answer 3

On light days, you bleed lightly and usually is a pink color on the pad. On heavy days, the blood is usually red and the pads get full fast. So you will have to change more often.

Answer 4

You can be light to begin with and heavy in the middle and light at the end.

Answer 5

Light days=spotting or very light flow(you need only a panty liner)
Heavy days=flow seems endless(you need a maxi pad)

Answer 6

A Tampax or towel only lasts a couple of hours: heavy.
A Tampax or towel lasts most of the day: light.

Answer 7

well, if you are bleeding a lot then it is a heavy day, if not so much, that would be a light day.

Answer 8

One pad lasts whole day = Light

One pad lasts two hours = Heavy

Answer 9

heavy days require more pads or tampons and you might leak. sometimes cramping is worse on heavy days too.
