Why does my period blood go through my underwear?

Period leakage is the accidental bleeding that happens when your panties, products, and planning don’t sync up. It’s the embarrassing result of failed menstrual products. Sometimes, the position of your pad is crooked or the tampon you’re using is not the correct level of absorbance needed.

Why is blood still coming out when I have a tampon in?

Typically, a leaky tampon means you’ve left your tampon in for too long, or you’re using the wrong absorbency. Be sure to change your tampon every 4-6 hours. If you find that you are leaking through your tampon after just four hours, it’s time to start using the next absorbency up.

How do I stop my period staining my underwear?

Try using laundry detergent, dishwashing soap, or even hand soap while hand washing the item in cold water to tackle stubborn stains. If that doesn’t work, it may be time for oxygenated bleach or an enzymatic cleaner.

What is the difference between a tampon and period underwear?

Tampons have a string attached to the end, so you can easily pull them out. Period underwear (AKA period panties) are just like regular underwear, except they have extra layers of fabric that absorb your menstrual blood during your period. There are different kinds of period underwear for light, medium, or heavy flow days.

Can you wear tampons and pads during your period?

Pads, tampons, period underwear, and cups let you go about your normal life during your period, without getting blood on your clothes or sheets. Tampons and cups go inside your vagina, pads are worn in your underwear, and you can wear period underwear instead of regular underwear on the days you have your period.

What should I do if I have used tampons before?

Even if you have used tampons before, read the instructions in the package. Wash your hands before and after using a tampon. This will help reduce the spread of bacteria. Only use tampons when you have your period. Tampons are not intended to be used at any other time or for any other reason.

Can I wear a tampon or cup inside my vagina?

You can also wear period underwear, a pad, or a pantyliner (a thin pad) while you’re using a tampon or cup, for backup protection in case of leaks. Some people think wearing a tampon or cup inside your vagina is more comfortable and convenient, because it’s out of the way and you usually can’t feel it.
