Hello. I have really heavy periods normally. Well, I normally use tampons but didn t have any so I used a pad. I was bleeding really bad and eventually went to buy regular/light tampons to use. I inserted one and forgot about it for three hours. When I took it out, there was nothing on it !! After an hour, my period began to flow very heavily. I tried this three more times and each one with the same result. I have NEVER had this happen in all my years of using them....
