I’m one of those people who apparently loses four fifths of my total blood a day when I’m menstruating.
I USE THESE. THEY WORK BETTER FOR HEAVY BLEEDING THAN DISPOSABLE PADS DO.
If I use regular normal plastic environment-killing pads, I will go through an overnight pad (the only size that was at all useful to me) in…..
I would typically have to change it every 2-3 hours or I would flood it. The reusable pads I have have survived a day trip where I FORGOT I HAD MY PERIOD until we stopped after 6 hours for someone else to use the bathroom. I decided I’d go since we were stopped and then gave myself a heart attack when I saw the not-even-remotely-close-to-flooding pad in my underwear.
Admittedly I use the biggest size of reusable pads, and I use them with period undies (they have a built in absorbent panel) but my fellow Monthly Bleeders I am telling you, I HAVEN’T FLOODED A REUSABLE PAD ONCE IN THE 6 MONTHS SINCE I SWITCHED. I am used to flooding at least once per period just because I haven’t figured out how to predict what my uterus is going to do at any given moment (it’s been 27 years, I’m getting there give me time).
On my lighter days I can just wear the undies on their own. I have NEVER had that kind of confidence. I OWN PANTS THAT AREN’T BLACK OR JEANS NOW AND I WILL WEAR THEM ON MY PERIOD WITHOUT FEAR.
So to everyone going Yeah But Tumblr User Suspend, You don’t Understand How Much I BLEED These Won’t Work For Me: STOP PUNISHING YOURSELF. THESE PADS ARE NOT ONLY GOING TO WORK FOR YOU, THEY ARE YOUR SALVATION.
