Answer 1

Seriously, the heat that you are generating from the 2 pairs of tights over your knickers could be casueing the flow to increase. Have you ever used a heat pad for cramps during your cycle? They make your flow heavier, because the heat relaxes your uterus.

Try changing you pad more often. Also, have you tried wearing an overnight pad? I always buy pads with Wings, Always Ultra Thin Overnights with Wings..... I swear by them.

Wish you luck.

Answer 2

I would suggest that you get a "DIVA CUP".  It is a menstrual cup.  You have to order them on line.  These are GREAT!!!  No leaking what so ever.   For the average period you can go about 12 hours without even thinking about your period.  For a heavier I check at about 8 hours.  I have always had very heavy periods and I am so glad that I found these.

Answer 3

your in 9th grade? its time for u to start using tampons. if u had it for a year u should be comfortable with ur body. im in 9th grade too and i have a heavy flow sometimes tampons work the best! ive had mine since about april of 7th grade so im preety comfortable. you need to be too!

Answer 4

the best thing for this kind of problem is to use tampons!

you need practice, then you will be fine!

you will feel so much more comfortable and wont be worrying, or dreading your period!

what do you mean you cant use them? of course you can! you just need practice.

good luck!

Answer 5

U could try some bigger pads, not necessarily sanitary towels but those they make for slight incontinence which are still discreet.  If you are wearing a skirt, any extra bulk shouldn't show and you can be confident that more liquid will be absorbed with no leaks.

Answer 6

I'd say during the day your more stressed then you are at night time or out of school that could be the cause.. consult with your doc and see what they say.
