I can relate...I have mentioned my fibroids and subsequent anemia from blood loss.....

I never, not once, had a month without....evidence.....occurring.

Overnight was a nightmare...and I find the pads to not sit against you? There's a gap between your.....womanly anatomy and the pad, when you think about it. Especially the very (supposedly better) ultra thin ones.

And WHY OH WHY....did nobody mention my....accidental evidence? Did other women hate me that much?!?! They couldn't have given me a discreet heads up?!?!

So yes...been there done that. At night I would wear two pads (tampons were out of the question at home because we have a septic system).

Get some cold water on your "smalls" as soon as you take them off....even if you can't launder straight away, just get the cold water on them.....if you can, wash them in the sink....

Daytime my armor of choice was a tampon plus a pad....for a couple days before, also because my body couldn't possibly help me out enough to be regular in any way....
