What if you had your period but it leak on the pad?

1. Stay Calm

It's important not to panic, as this can make the situation worse. Take a deep breath and assess the situation.

2. Remove the Pad

Take off the pad and check how much has leaked. If the leak is small, you may be able to get away with just changing your pad.

3. Change Your Underwear

If the leak is heavier, you will need to change your underwear as well. Be careful not to get any blood on your clothes or other belongings.

4. Clean the Area

Use a wet towel or wipe to clean the area around your vagina and buttocks. Be sure to clean off as much blood as possible, and dispose of the wipes or towels in a trash can.

5. Put on a New Pad

Make sure to put on a fresh pad that is large enough to absorb all of your blood flow.

6. Monitor Your Flow

If you experience a heavy flow or the leaking continues, you should see a doctor to rule out any underlying medical conditions.

7. Take Care of Yourself

Drink plenty of fluids and rest as much as possible. You may also want to take an over-the-counter pain reliever to help with any cramps.

Tips to Prevent Leaks:

- Wear pads or tampons that are the right size for your flow.

- Change your pad or tampon regularly, especially if your flow is heavy.

- Avoid wearing tight clothing that could put pressure on your vagina, and cause leaking.

- Practice Kegel exercises to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles, which can help reduce leaks.

- Stay hydrated, as drinking enough water can help to reduce the risk of leaks.
