Beauty Tip

Post Body

I have fibroids with an enlarged uterus and I bleed heavily during my periods. However, the quality of Always brand pads has gone down a lot over the last few years. The adhesive is nearly non-existent and the pads shift around way to much in my underwear.

I’m considering reusable pads but are they okay with heavy periods? On my heaviest days, I have to change my pads 4 or 5 times.

EDIT 1: Period panties seem to be highly recommended. I sleep on my side at night. Side-sleepers do you leak out when you wear period panties at night?
