Just a little bit of reference for those that don't know, all of us are different but for example, I need about 6-7 tampons a day, I can't use only pads because I'm too heavy flow but I use them to catch what the tampons can't.
I have had to throw away bed sheets too on several occasions when that hasn't been enough. My mensies lasts like a week on average and the first three days require painkillers. I started when I was 13 and I'm 29 now.
Also not very nice side note but, a lot of us get diarrhea on our periods for first couple of days as well as shooting pains in the bum/bumhole area. II actually didn't know why but I just looked it up but its to do with the prostaglandins that cause constractions. It's a little more than tummy ache and bleeding. Also the food cravings because you're losing blood and fatigued, you can have intense cravings too. It takes all my willpower not to buy steak and chocolate.
Just sharing a little bit of insider info about the experience not meant to be provocative or trying to debate.

I noticed the downvotes also. Got to be pretty warped to downvote such a positive article.
