Women Only?

Question

Just a quick question curious: when you are on a heavy period is night time the only time when lit ya pad is black on the back if ya get me!!!! Is that how you girls distinguish between heavy and light if not how else do you distinguish

ta

ta in advance

lit= literally
and when i say black on the back is when you can see it through the back of the pad and it looks black but it is blood

right, i am confused here basically me only use pads, i am ireegular just confused i also dont know fully what a period is because my mum died before i could query

Answer 1

i never really looked at the back but yeah i guess you are right when i think about it. usually if it is a heavy flow i have to change the tampon every hour and a half to 2 hours plus i have wear a heavy flow pad and it usually fills that up too. if you are having extremely heavy flows every cycle i would go see the gyno. i was a few years ago and found out i needed to be taking a coagulator because i'm a "bleeder". now i only have a heavy flow maybe 3 times out of the year but i'm still very regular even with taking the pills.

Answer 2

Before I went on birth control my pad could get like that within an hour during the day. I consider my period to be heavy when i MUST change my pad at least every 2-3 hours.

Answer 3

Nope... mine gets that way during the day as well between changes. My flow is so heavy that there are times I have to wear 2 overnight pads and a tampon to keep from having any "leaks".

Answer 4

for me heavy is when i use a super plus tampon and 2 extra long over night pads at one time and still have to get up several times during the night to change. happens all the time.

Answer 5

I don't know bcos mine isn't heavy and is slightly black. I don't think i have a problem with it bcos it runs for 3 & 1/2 days.

Answer 6

if you don't make it through the night with one overnight pad.... or if you need to change every three hours.... that would be heavy day to me.. and the cramps will usually tell you too.,... :-)
