OK so on the first few days of my period my flow is HORRIBLE! It soaks through a Super tampon in 2 hours and leaks so i wear a pad too but after the first 3 days-ish it lightens up...and ideas on how to deal w/ it?
I'm like the same! but its only on the second day that its SUPER heavy... but yeah my period only lasts about 5 days usually so its like heavy for 2 or 3 days and like either I'm done of it will be really light for the next few days... but i just don't do much on the first few days...but school is a nightmare
wow, are you new in the world of menstruation? Well, if I'm there in your situation, I would most likely go and monitor my period, especially when it's a fast flow one, because I don't want to be embarassed seen with a sain at my back! If you know that you have a fast one, better do it with some night pads, and then you can change every 3 hours or so. But then, just be patient, because fast menstruation usually lasts for 2-3 days only, and the rest are lighter, as you might have noticed..
Use the tampon and the pad as backup. It is normal for the first couple days to be heavy especially at night time and then it will be lighter at the end. I always used the tampon and used pads as backup.
I woulld discuss w/ your OB/GYN you might be able to get on a birth contol pill that will lighten your period......In some cases you can get a pill that will limit your period to 4 per year.
I had horrible periods when I was younger and going to the GYN helped a LOT!
I have the same problem. I do the same thing you do. Other than going to your gyno I don't have any other suggestions. She will probably put you on birth control for it. Its sucks being a girl sometimes.

I have a horrible flow too.
Don't use tampons, they will leak through.
Use super absorbent pads, use 2-3 at a time.
You could also schedule an appointment for your doctor.

Good luck
If it gets too out of control you can be put on birth control pills. It helps SOOOO much with a heavy flow and cramping.
I have the same problem sweet i put like three pads on and put the super tampoon hopes this helps
Perhaps you could ask a gynecologist for a prescription that would make the flow lighter? I'm pretty sure there are medicines that can do that.
wear hte highest absorbency tampon avalible then put a regular to super flow pad on.
