Is this weird??? When I run out of tampons and is forced to use pads by itself, unless I'm wearing Always with wings, I put like 2-3 maxi pads on my underwear. I put like 2 on each side (one on the left and one on the right), and I put one all the way in the back. But the one in the back is horizontal <----------->. Is this normal?? Is it a weird thing to do?? I just don't like getting blood in my underwear, so I try my best to make sure the blood gets on the pad and nothing else. When I use one pad, it ends up moving in the blood gets in my underwear. But when I use 3, I can sleep in a comfortable position without worrying is the blood going to run down to the back of my underwear (because I put I pad going vertical in the back).
I'm not going to lie. Sometimes I do use 4 pads. But only when I'm sleeping. I don't use it throughout the day though. It's only 2-3 when I'm not sleeping.
Please comment. I really want to know what you think about this. Please use kind words.

I hate pads, one is bad enough, so no I don't do it, but I can understand why somebody would, and I know some others who do it. I guess it makes sense to not want mess. But it is a little odd if you need that much to collect all the blood when you're not sleeping, one with wings is usually fine for me during the day, perhaps you have really heavy flow? At night I'd rather use old underwear and sleep with a towel instead of wasting three or more pads (and being uncomfortable). Anyway, do whatever is good for you, just keep safe!

I have to say it is unusual to wear 2-3 maxi pads at once. You should only need one pad. And, sad to say, if you wear 2-3 maxi pads at once it is likely someone will notice you're wearing them, because when you walk, it'll create a bit of a noise of towels.. if you know what I mean.
Get a maxi pad with wings.
the pad goes in the middle, and the wings are designed to go left and right which protect you from getting blood all over your underwear.
Don't worry too much if blood goes on your underwear.
If you're still worried, wear one MAXI pad with wings and put two/three pairs of underwear on. It's better than wearing 4 pads at once. trust me.x

I could never do the old underwear thing. It's get on the inside of your legs and makes you feel all icky "/
I know how you feel. I used to put a pantiliner in a fresh pad or put toilet paper in the back. But what's just as effective is granny pads. I always buy heavy flow overnights but if I run out of pads, I get some of my grandma's and one can last you half the day. Their great for at night [I roll around like pig in the mud] and you don't waste as much.

Sweety has any one told you that using 2-3 pads is a little excessive. If you are bleeding heavily you could have other problems. I used to bleed heavily like super tampon every hour or so. I was diagnosed with Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrom. Get to your docs have a few test. You should not have to go through that much discomfort or worry.

pads suck
why would you EVER run out of tampons, you can get a whole case of them off of ebay for the price of a couple boxes. You can buy them by the case on walgreens.com too. Find out which ones you like, tell your dad/husband/boyfriend you need to borrow his credit card to order some tampons and he will be so shocked/embarrassed/mortified that he won't be able to say no... and when he gets the bill and sees you bought a whole case, he will be too embarrassed to ever say anything to you about it!
I only had to do that once with my dad and I got enough tampons to last me till college! LOL

Here is a recommendation: If you don't like the pads or use too many, why don't you get a "Depends" type disposable undergarment to wear while you sleep. No fuss, and you just throw them away. - You could even wear them in the daytime.

Why dont you try using those for maxi ones, for long hours and night wear one... is not so nice to wear so many pads in one go... try to look for one. Good Luck

pads are so horrible, just make sure you don't run out of tampons. I don't think what you do is very normal but if it works for you....
