    Angry Argh! Fucking periods!!! >:(

    I think I've posted on here before about my problems with period leakage at work. I've tried every brand of tampon and sanitary product under the sun (except for Divacup, which I am just about to order), and no matter what I do, my period leaks. I put in a maxi tampon and within 5 mins it's leaking everywhere. My blood just doesn't seem to absorb into tampons. I've been to a gyno about it but apparently there's nothing they can do and it's just the way I am. It's really fucking frustrating, because it makes it damn near impossible for me to work with my period.

    Tonight the club was really busy and I had to come home after 2 hours (most of which I spent either in the bathroom or the dressing room) because the leakage was extreme. I decided to call it a night after I went to walk out of the change room and had a considerable amount of blood suddenly run down my leg. Thank God that happened in the dressing room and not on stage or during a lapdance or on the floor.

    Does anyone else have this kind of problem? Everyone else at work uses tampons with no problems, but for some reason I constantly leak. I insert them correctly, I've tried every brand, they do not absorb my blood. It's embarassing and annoying, and none of my male managers really understand... once I had to graphically put it that if they didn't let me go home I was going to leak period all over the stage and every guy in the club would leave talking about the girl who got her period all over the stage at the Crazy Horse!

    Argh! I hate this! I don't know what to do! Does Divacup sound like a good option for me?

    I have the exact same problem. The first 3 days of my period, it is very heavy, but it just doesn't seem like the tampon can absorb. Maybe our period blood is thicker than normal? I cannot work during thoes 3 days due to the leakage. I sit at home with a super sized tampon, granny panties and a panty liner and just bleed. I stopped trying to work on my period the day that the blood ran down my leg while I was on stage.

    I dont know what to do about it except NOT work. I've tried the really generic, huge super tampons that are so big they hurt going in, and they dont even plug it up.
    The diva cup is worth a try. Maybe I'll give it a try to.

    If the tampons I have been using were any bigger, they'd be sheep

    Yeah, I'm wondering if it's cos my blood is thicker than most people... because when I take the tampon out it's practically empty. And I can change it like 4 times and it still just keeps leaking. And then I get sore from changing it so often that I can't get them in anymore and I keep trying til it hurts so bad that I start crying and yeah, the whole thing is just pretty much SHIT.

    Awww.... Darcy, this made me giggle. Everyone's cycle is different. My mom used to have awful, terrible, heavy periods like your describing - but after having kids, it became very light. My sister had the same problem, so she started taking BCP, and now things are much more bearable. I just got lucky with light periods - but I'm sure eventually I'll get to experience a hemorrhaging period

    Are you currently taking birth control? If not, I totally understand (I'm not on it personally because it really messes with my head)... it sounds like maybe the best thing would be to just plan on taking the first couple of heavy days of your period off work.

    Yeah, I'm on the pill. I've tried heaps of different ones, on Yasmin at the moment and the doctor seems to think that's the best one for me because I'm able to skip periods really easy with it. I used to not skip periods, but it's just so unbearable for me that I only get it a few times a year now, I just skip it a whole lot.

    Honestly, I think it's genetic. Every woman on both sides of my family has had to have a hysterectomy before they turned 40 due to problems with it, so as my little brother eloquently put it, "It's combined together and you've got the worst uterus in the world!"

    I didn't even know it was possible for a tampon to not absorb.
    It must be a chemistry thing.

    Its like the blood leaks right around the tampon like either the blood is to thick to absorb, o so heavy that it doesnt havea chance to absorb or something. I have even tried wetting the tampon a little first with water, to make it bigger, then putting it in...

    I ordered DivaCup and just got it in the mail yesterday! ...but i still have a couple weeks til my period so I can't tell you if it really works or not yet. The menstral cups seem like your best option.

    oh yah, i ordered it off www.luckyvitamin.com its only $20, which is $15 cheaper than the diva cup website. (in the usa anyways)

    Where can you get them??

    A Divacup is, essentially, a vagina plug. It doesn't absorb like tampons do (should), it just... collects.
    But, yeah, I'd try it. I use one sometimes, and its always worked perfectly until once, when I guess I stuck it in wrong, and it was fine until BAM. I think reccomended for women that have tampon issues like yours, and they're not too expensive, so trying it can't hurt.

    But...you have to dump the divacup and rinse them out right?

    I dont think I really want to be at work rinsing out my menstral cup in the bathroom sink. How long do they last before they need dumped? Is it really messy when you take it out, does blood get everywhere?

    another alternative to the diva, is the disposable cups called "instead". I used them when i had periods (don't have periods anymore), and they were great. i used to go through a superplus tampon every hour for the first 3-4 days, but those collected anywhere from 4-12 hours worth! messing getting it out, but it's sooo much easier than having to change tampons or worry about leakage. you can even have sex with them in and not have to worry about blood!

    It's not messy for me. It takes a few days to get used to though. Now I get more blood on my hands using tampons.
    Just make sure you angle it so the cup is upright when you take it out then dump the contents in the toilet. You can wipe it off with tp so it's clean and discreetly bring it to the sink in your hand and lather up with a bunch of soap. It's really not going to look like you're rinsing a murder weapon.

    Also, it depends on how long you're working and how heavy your flow is, but I can go a good 8-9 hours without changing mine. It holds way more than tampons, so I can just change it before and after work at home.


    Oh yeah and as far as leaking goes, the Divacup has been amazing. No leaks ever. HOWEVER, it only works perfectly if you angle it just so, and that can take awhile to get used to.

    Instead is not available in Australia as far as I am aware only DivaCup. Please correct me if I am mis-informed.

    I really wish I could be of more assistance. I havn't had a period in a looooooooong time due to Depo. I'm one of the few people who are "ok" with Depo so I keep using it (tho' I am long over-due for the shot at the moment).

    UPDATE: I just got my 'starter pack' in the mail today. It came with three of the cups and a VHS video. Damnit! I don't have a VCR anymore .. I assumed it would come on CD or DVD... Oh well, it's got a little infomation booklet which basically looks like one of those instrutional picture guides found inside boxes of tampons. I'm not on my period now, but I wonder if I should attempt to put on in for practice, and then try again when I'm actually menstrating (sp.?). I'm also assuming that Instead is the same as DivaCup, only different brands? Not sure, I've never seen DivaCup. But if anyone's interested I'll let ya know what happens with my expiramentation today

    wow I hope someone posts some feedback on the DivaCup because I have the same problem. I have to sit home and just bleed..alot. Just like the others said it is so thick and there is so much so fast that I can sometimes put in a tampon and be dripping 5 min later. It's even hard to work my regular job with these circumstances. Thankfully I live enxt door to my work and I've had to run home and change pants before. It sucks!

    no they aren't the same. the diva is reusable..the instead are a one time and throw it away.

    Has anyone tried those new Playtex Sport tampons?? Saw them in an ad recently, seems like they may help those who have problems with leakage.
