OK ladies answer this?

You may want to ask your doctor about this because you have an abnormally heavy period. Your doctor can give you advice and possible medication to help manage your hormones which cause this problem.

You would think they could make a decent pad with all the products out there!! But hey, the more you use their useless products the more THEY profit.

You think you have problems now wait till you're older and have had a few kids. I have to double up when I'm the heaviest of my cycle and the night time is the worst.

What happens is that gravity causes what you're experiencing. You sit and everything flows towards the back. Same when you lie down or are on your side and you get "leakage".

I've taken to wearing Depends underwear overnight with my pads sometimes because I hate messing things up and I just throw the whole thing out come morning, otherwise I have to wake up and change at least twice during the night!!!

Usually this is for one night that I go through this. Will be happy when it's all over and done with....there's a reason they refer to it as "the curse" don't you think???? ;~)

And yeah, I know, more info than you wanted to know but thought I'd share as it took me many years to figure out how to get a decent night's sleeping during!!!! ;~)

This is not a dumb question at all. You probably just have some slipage. You may want to consider changing the size or absorbancy.

try a different size

that is strange, well they say every woman is different maybe thats why they say that.

use pads
