How to prevent menstrual leakage?

As a woman, there is an embarrassing period every month, which is menstruation. Especially for women with heavy menstrual flow, they should not only pay attention to reducing the amount of activity, but also be extra careful when sleeping. Sometimes, because the sanitary napkin is not properly placed, menstrual blood will flow out from the sides, which is called side leakage. So, in real life, how can women prevent menstruation from leaking?

1. Choose extra-long night sanitary napkins

You must choose sanitary napkins for night use. If you have a lot of fluids, you can choose extra-long night-time sanitary napkins. There are many 420 and 450 sanitary napkins on the market. Generally, there is no problem using them for a whole night. If you still have side leakage after using this kind of sanitary napkin, it is recommended to use pants-type sanitary napkins to prevent side leakage in all directions.

2. Change sanitary napkins before going to bed

If you have a heavy menstrual flow, you must change to a new sanitary napkin before going to bed at night to prevent the sanitary napkin from absorbing too much blood and being unable to absorb the newly flowing menstrual blood, thus causing side leakage.

3. Use paper towels wisely

Many people don’t know that side leakage when sleeping at night is actually caused by menstrual blood flowing down from the buttocks after falling asleep, causing side leakage. At this time, you can roll a paper towel into a small cylinder, and then clamp this "small cylinder" in the gap between your PP. This method can effectively prevent menstrual blood from flowing down the gap between your PP.

4. Use nursing pads

If you leak on the bed without paying attention when sleeping at night, it will make people feel very distressed. In order to avoid leaking on the bed, it is recommended that you put a nursing pad similar to a blanket on the bed before going to bed. In this way, even if you leak on the side without paying attention at night, it will not leak on the bed.

5. Sleeping posture is crucial

Choose side sleeping

Generally speaking, the editor recommends sleeping on your side as much as possible during menstruation, because sleeping on your side is not likely to cause menstrual blood outflow, and it is also easier to fall asleep quickly, which can reduce some physical discomfort. For example, menstrual abdominal pain can be effectively relieved by sleeping on your side. Lying on the right side is conducive to smooth blood circulation, normal functioning of various organs in the body, adequate blood supply and conducive to the outflow of menstrual blood. Therefore, sleeping on the right side is the best sleeping position for women during menstruation.

Just be comfortable

In fact, sleeping posture does not have much impact during menstruation. The key lies in your own feelings. As long as you feel comfortable, it is more beneficial. Only when the menstruation is smooth can the body be healthy. Therefore, we can choose our favorite sleeping position according to our own preferences, whether it is lying on our stomach, back or side, as long as we do not feel burdened or stressed, it is feasible. A comfortable sleeping position is the prerequisite for ensuring sleep quality.
