One for the women (I assume).
I have previously managed to get really good answers to the most mondane issues here in the forums, so why not this question too.
This will be my first night that I try out a full Tena pants in the hope that I will get better sleep. I normally always wake up when I think I've bleed through which is then sadly always the case.
However, seen that Tena are made for urine, might they do the trick at all, be better than sanitary towels, or will a have an unpleasant surprise for other reasons? I mean, they are of course developed for something less thick than blood! |

If your flow is that heavy that you leak during the night, have you been to your gp?
I know mine is bloody useless but that's not the case for everyone.
About a year after having my first child I was bleeding that heavily one night that I got a nappy, cut the tabs off and used that. Not the most comfortable thing to do but it gave me peace of mind that I wasn't going to have to change the bedding again! |

Op if bleeding is really heavy have you tried other methods ?
All I ask for is mine were heavy until I had coil fitted and now I hardly bleed and hopefully stop

 Ditto
I had the same issues since my teens, was put on the pill at an early age to try and reduce the bleeding, but the coil for me was the best thing ever! Worth visiting your GP to see what works for you x good luck x |

Just imagine what they'd be like! They wouldn't cope  |

"Have you tried a mooncup"
This. They're good for 12 hours as an average and you could always use a pad too as backup. If you emptied it just before bed and again as soon as you woke up. Love mine, they're great. |

My periods were so heavy they caused severe anaemia and I ended up in hospital for three days having blood transfusion.
A quarterly contraceptive implant into my abdomen gave me my life back. It stopped my periods and bought on the menopause, but I was sterilised anyway and would go through the menopause anyway so not a problem.
It's not for everyone but it worked perfectly for me. |

My Doctor has suggested uterine ablation for me, just have to take the pill for 6 months to say I've tried it. But as there are no more babies I'd rather go for something more permanent. I'm also anaemic due to my periods. |

I would recommend looking at tranexamic acid if you haven't already, as this helps with heavy bleeding. It's prescription only, you need to start taking 2 four times daily when bleeding starts.
That and try a moon cup or other brand x
Heavy periods are awful, I suffer as well |

I used incontinence sheets to save my bed, until my hysterectomy. You can become severely anaemic from excessive bleeding, which can be life threatening. |

I've used tenalady pads for 17 years, since I had my first son and my Nan gave me a pack for the after bleed.
I've found them a lot better than standard towels. Yeah they are thick and it feels like you're wearing a nappy. But I feel secure enough that I won't flood or leak onto my pants. Especially at night time when I'm asleep. |

I had the ablation due to heavy periods and it's so much better. Mine haven't stopped completely unlike some women but only have 3 days and very light. X |

I've got that as a backup for other bleeding problems, my GP is spot on with all sorts of solutions available.

This will indeed be my next attempt! All you want is just to be able to sleep through those two nights a months really. In my case it is. |
