Period problems?

Question

Ok every girl has them so plz dont say anything mean. Sooo.... I used a tampon for the first time today and when i got home i had blood on my underwear and some on my pants. I know i put it in right cuz i couldnt feel it when i walked or anything. Does any girls no what could be wrong with this? Oh and i was using the Regular Playtex sport tampons

Answer 1

It simply means that the tampon absorbed its maximum allotment of moisture and it was well past time to change.

While a tampon can be left in for up to 8 hours, your flow level is going to dictate how often you need to change. If this is your heavy day, you may need to change every 2-4 hours, or switch to a higher absorbency. You may also want to consider wearing pantyliners during your period to prevent leakage problems.

I use Security (by Kotex) Regulars all period long...its just now that I've had my period for nearly 30 years, I know exactly how long I can go between changes. You'll get the hang of it.

Answer 2

Usually blood will go down the tampon string and give you a little stain in your underwear. It's not a big deal though because there shouldn't be so much as to where it would leak through your pants. If you want comfortable internal protection without the spotting in your underwear then try a menstrual cup such as the DivaCup or MoonCup. As for now, just pair a light pantiliner with your tampon to avoid the spotting. Best of luck!

Answer 3

I like to use tampons too, but I always wear a panty liner. That way you know if it leaks and its time to change it. You need to change the tampon every 4 hours even if its not leaking. Try using a Super on the first day or 2 when flow is usually heavy, then use regular for the rest of the week. Panty liners are a life saver!

Answer 4

When the blood gets on to the pants and underwear when someone is using a tampon that means that the tampon is full and needs to be changed. Tampons need to be changed about every 3 hours.

Answer 5

It probably leaked. Try changing it during the day when you have a break (lunch, recess...). You can wear a panty-liner too, just in case. What I do is wear a pad and a tampon, then all I have to do is take the tampon out when it's time to change and I'm ready to go. You might want to try a more absorbent one too.

Hope this helps, good luck

Answer 6

could be it wasn't the 'right' type for your period. They make a box of 3 different kinds, heavy, regular and light. So maybe you need the heavy. (and always wear a pantyliner...no matter how good the tampon, sometimes there are leaks..especially when you pee, if you don't change the tampon then...and always change your tampon's, don't leave them in forever....they only absorb so much.)

Answer 7

Well one thing could have been, that you bled it out, and it absorbed all it could so it started coming down the string. Another way it could have had blood on it, is if the string was somehow wet, like if you took a shower while having it in, it will usually leek out easier that way. No big deal really, if you are bleeding it out though, either get bigger tampons, or change them more often. Good luck!

Answer 8

Wizard, what is there to be "grateful" approximately bloating, cramps, nausea, complications, issues approximately leaking and marking your garments, and having to oftentimes make choice plans like now not going into the water on the seaside due to the fact you are afraid a shark probably in a position to sniff the blood and assault you? Maybe in case you have been a lady, you could be higher in a position to recognize that that is not anything to be grateful for. I close to envy the females ago. That was once due to the fact they very seldom had intervals as a result of continually pregnancy or nursing. They additionally began having them later in lifestyles than women do at present. I can not wait till menopause comes. I'm hoping it is going to be right here inside a couple of years. I'm now in my overdue 40s and plenty of females my age have already been via it.

Answer 9

It's o.k you just need to change the tampon more frequently. On some days if your flow is very heavy you may need a tampon and a pad.

Answer 10

You might need to use a different absorbency tampon....you might want to try "super" the next time. Often, you'll need to use several different absorbencies throughout the course of your period....supers during the first couple of days, then regulars, then lites.

If you don't want to use supers, you'll need to change your regulars more frequently since it appears your flow is on the heavier side.
