Q Okay, im 14, my mom is out of town for a week, and i got my period 2 days ago. We dont have any overnight pads, so i just slept with a regular one (ive never had problems before doing this) and i woke up this morning, and my bed was like the scene from the godfather, where he finds a horse head in his bed. The pad leaked through, and now theres blood everywhere. All over my clothes, my favorite sheets, everything :( what do i do? Theres going to be so many stains. My mom isnt home, its just me and my dad...its embarrassing. After i clean this up, which i have no idea how to do, how can i prevent this in the future?
Special longer and higher absorbency pads are available for night time use. Get those and use them for atleast first 2 nights whenever you get your period. If necessary, you can even sleep with double padding whenever you are bleeding excessively. Dont worry, such accidents do happen.
