Well, being that tampons only work for up to 6 hours…I don’t know, you should probably wear your underwear with lots of pads in it -bulging outward -so that it will catch everything -a heavy period isn’t easy to deal with at night, but that is my suggestion.

My periods are heavy only sometimes. I use a tampon and a pad. If you leak, the pad will catch it. I still end up waking up to go to the bathroom at least once at night, just because I gotta pee anyways. I just change the tampon while I’m in there lol. As I got older, my periods got lighter and easier to deal with.

Honestly, using a tampon overnight can give you toxic shock syndrome. Look it up. Just…go with the long pad and change right before bed.

i too used to have this problem, i talked to my doctor about it and she put me on birthcontrol, i was not sexually active or anything but most bitrth controls make your periods very regular and lighter than usual, this really helped me out, i was always leaking and my period would last for like 10-12 days now it is so light and it only lasts like 4-6 days sol much more convinient!

your best bet is to buy ALWAYS ULTRA LONG NIGHT-WITH WINGS , as you don’t want to use a tampon especially over night and if its more than 5 hours and if you do you can get TOXIC SHOCK- witch you can die from, TOXIC SHOCK is were you leave a tampon on for more than 5 hours, as you know were a tampon goes,it can Carrie highly deadly germs and diseases,if you leave it on over night the germs/diseases can develop and get more worse and they will eventually take over your blood stream and kill your blood vessels, and suddenly you will eventually die from it,there is no cure and can kill up to
50-100 women every year for there stupidity and carlesnes,so don’t try it and don’t ever take the risk when you can easily not put yourself in that type of deadly risk.
