Ever leaked period blood onto your sheets? Have you tried to wash it out, but to no avail? Well worry no longer, these steps will save your sheets and nightwear.
Steps
1.Use Adira Period Panties. They are leak-proof and ensure that your clothes and the sheets do not stain. Use the Boxer fit for complete protection.
2.Know your menstrual cycle. If your cycle isn't set yet, know what time of the month it generally comes (beginning, middle, and end). If you think it will come, use a pantyliner during the day, but a light/medium absorbency pad, depending on how heavy/light you flow starts at.
3.Use a menstrual cup. These are internal like tampons, but they are not associated with TSS, (Toxic Shock Syndrome), so they can be worn for up to 12 hours (even during the night), unlike tampons. These hold more flow than tampons or pads and have light suction so they prevent leaking.
4.Wear a tampon and a pad. Change your tampon when you go to bed and when you get up in the morning. You can use a panty liner or a heavy pad, according to your needs.
5.Try cloth pads like Lunapads or Party In My Pants.You can even make your own. These are not only healthier and more hygienic than commercial pads but they are also far more comfortable and stick in your underwear better, plus you can get extra liners to insert when needed. Being more comfortable with cloth pads means you're less likely to move about in your sleep, so pads stay in place rather than gathering up leading to leaking.
6.Grab two overnight pads with wings and overlap them, with one closer up front, and the other further behind. If necessary, use a third one in the middle.
7.You can also make a T-shape with two pads. Use one as usual, then place one perpendicular towards your rear.
8.Find a towel that no one uses or needs. Lay the towel on your mattress. When you go to bed, lie on the towel so that if you do leak it will go on the towel and not all over your sheets or bedding. Some people call these period blankets and may have dedicated soft blankets to use this way, they may also wrap around themselves in the morning to avoid mess when they get up before they can put in their normal protection.
9.Roll a few sheets of toilet paper up lengthwiseand place carefully in between your intergluteal clefts. Remove the toilet paper in the morning.
10.Get protective sheets, these are like those used by parents if their children wet the bed. Nothing embarrassing about using them, they will protect your mattress so if you do leak the blood doesn't get into the mattress causing smell or stains.
11.Invest in adult diapers if nothing else works. The pull-up kinds work the best, but any type will protect your bedsheets while you sleep.
12.Take a second pair of underwear and put them on over your first pair.
13.Put the pad or pantyliner closer to the front of your panties and sleep on your stomach.
14.Sleep comfortably and 'stainlessly'! Use Cycleliners Feminine Bed Protection. Instead of sleeping on towels, these bed liners are waterproof, comfortable, and go over sheets with tuck in flaps so they stay put. They also come in a discreet burgundy color.
