My periods have always been really heavy... I go through at LEAST 12 pads a day for the first 3 days of it and have to wear two super overnight pads at once and by an hour or two they're usually soaked with blood. I've gone through so much underwear and bed sheets and keep having to buy new ones because I keep leaking through them. It's such a pain and embarrassing if I have to go places where I have to stay awhile where I can't leave because I'm afraid I'll leak.

Does anyone know of any over the counter meds or vitamins to lessen the flow of one's period?

Thanks!
