Answers:
If your flow is heavy at the moment, use TWO pads. One should start at the back of your underwear and end sort of in the middle, and the second pad should be in the front, but make sure it overlaps the other one. You might even want to put a third one in the middle. Depending on where you bleed most, whether it be front, middle, or back of your underwear, that is where you should be sure to use the thickest pad. Sleeping on your stomach is a good way to control leaks but it must not work for you. Sleeping on your side is better than your back sometimes, but the blood pours out if you don't keep your legs clamped tight together (how uncomfortable!). Get the best of both worlds and sleep on your side with your legs tightly together, yet leaning a bit as if you are sleeping on your stomach. The legs are the key. Oh, and to save yourself a headache, wear dark pajamas so you don't waste as much time washing blood out if you leak.Health Question & Answer
Sleeping on your side wont matter.. Since you refuse to wear a tampon.. which would be the less messy choice.. sounds like you have no choice but to wear one of your pads.. it doesn't necessarily mean it needs to be an "over night" one just center it more towards the back slightly since it will naturally flow the way when laying down..Health Question & Answer
Just wear the heavy flow pad and position it so that its further to the back of your underwear (to stop the running) or you could position two pads in your underwear so its just like one really long big pad (hey its cheaper then sheets and underwear.Health Question & Answer
Use more than one pad. Put one further back and then put one on top further up. Have them doubled where you are usually heaviest. I have done this and it worked for me.
