I just read the post below about people with super heavy flows and it reminded me about Always Infinity - or somethign like that. They are new- and a little more expensive than normal Always, but they are a godsend. They are as thin as panty liner - and totally absorb like an overnight diaper.
has anyone else tried them?
Re: I love Always Infinity! for heavy period sufferers
I haven't! I kept forgetting that I had pads and kept buying more so now I have a crapload... and I don't have a long period. lol so when I get low I"ll have to try them.
And I am almost 33 years old and *just* learned a new way to avoid leaking on the sheets - I have a fleece black blanket that I sleep on top of on those 2ish days that are really heavy! Why didn't I think about that before???
Next time I go out I'll use them as a tampon backup for bedtime. I use Always Overnights and they look and sound like a diaper and feel what I would assume is like a diaper. Do you use them as a pad or as a backup pad? I cannot imagine using a pad only for a super heavy flow. *TMI* - I use a cup and for three days I'm emptying 1/2 oz every two hours. I have a hard time seeing that on a pad.
Overnight though, to avoid accidents, I set the alarm to get up to change. If I don't, pad or no pad, it's a war zone on the way from the bed to the bathroom.
