bout to get the dreaded period, so I have to use 2 Stayfree Dry Max Regulars...(To make it long enough for me)...and it gets so bad I have to also wear a super plus tampon *Which leaks after like an hour or hour and a half.* Aren't the BIGGEST ones supposed to last long time??? Something wrong there I think!

I would contact your doctor. Sounds a bit much.. but everyone is different. They do have super pads and nightime pads which I think might be a bit longer.

Talk to your doctor. You may have Menorrhagia. Which is heavy bleeding. I have that, and control it with Birth control pills.
You will definitely need to talk to your MD. If you let it go on too long your body will become anemic and very tired.
I copied these symptons from another website for you.
Menstrual flow that soaks through one or more sanitary pads or tampons every hour for several consecutive hours
The need to use double sanitary protection to control your menstrual flow
The need to change sanitary protection during the night
Menstrual periods lasting longer than seven days
Menstrual flow that includes large blood clots
Heavy menstrual flow that interferes with your regular lifestyle
Constant pain in your lower abdomen during menstrual periods
Tiredness, fatigue or shortness of breath (symptoms of anemia)

Yes judjing by what you state..
This may be normal for you, as already stated by may friends, different women have differet patterns. Also the flow can last for about one week which is within the normal time period.
There can be may reasons again, like anaemia, any intrauterine problem, stress, harmonal imbalance, and again if some one is taking asprin or other similar medication.
What you need is to consult a gynaecologist and have your self checked. No self medications.

it does sound like it's a bit much if you leak after an hour. I think if this lasts for more than two days, then you should go to a doctor.

It could be normal. Each woman's flow is going to be different. If you have concerns about it you should talk to your doctor. If you aren't already on a birth control pill or gynocologist may suggest trying one as sometimes they help regulate the period, control the flow, and may help any cramps you are feeling. Hope this helps. :-)

It depends on your individual chemistry, but it does sound like you are bleeding too much. You should see your doctor about getting on some birth control pills to regulate your period.

Every woman's period is different. It is probably normal but if you have any concerns you need to contact your primary physician.

THERE IS A BLEEDING DISORDER CALLED VON WILLEBRANDS DISEASE. I CAN BE VERY MILD, SO MILD THAT YOU CAN HAVE IT ALL YOUR LIFE AND NOT KNOW IT. ONE OF THE WAYS IT PRESENTS ITSELF IN FEMALES IS IN A HEAVY MENSTRUAL CYCLE. IT'S WORTH DISCUSSING WITH YOUR DOCTOR.
