started my period and a lot of it doesn't actually go on the pad

ok this sounds really gross, but… I just started my period and a lot of it doesn’t actually go on the pad it comes off when I wipe it off!!! is that weird???

Answer #1

nooo haha! that happens a lot. when I first got my period I kept my legs closed together and thats probably what your doing so its just not flowing alll the way down. youll get used to it and having your legs apart. no worries hun ;]

Answer #2

ya I dont think I have that much, just a lot of it doesn’t actually go on my pad. thanks though!

Answer #3

no, its normal it might take a bit for the blood to get onto the pad, but thats were practically all of it ends up you might just be wiping yourself before it gets a chance to get to the pad and its normal to have some blood around your vagina because thats were its comming come

Answer #4

Perfectly normal dear! And as for the night time problem someone stated—they make night time pads now that are a little thicker in the back( because at night that’s where nost leaks occur) and they work pretty well, almost all brands make some kind of night time pad now. When the the blood flows out of the uterus into the vagina and out its not extremely fasy, although sometimes when you stand up you may feel a large amt come out at one time, its basically just oozing out and the blood when you wipe is just (again) as Jaz said—hasnt oozed out completelu to get to the pad and you wipe it away. Sounds like everything is A-OK with u!! [÷:

Answer #5

lol. it’s okay. it’s normal for that to happen. what you wanna do is that you wanna find the right pads that can absorb everything so you don’t stain your underwear and have to either throw them away or keep washing them. the blood usually comes off of the pad at night too. and that’s a problem that I don’t really have advice for right now because I just hope for the best luck for myself… you wiping it off and it coming off like that probably means that your a heavy bleeder. and that’s okay too. periods are different for every girl. you just need to remember that you really should wipe yourself thoroughly! and you should also change your pad every 3-4 hours. just incase you didn’t know…

hope my advice is useful to you :)

Answer #6

Yeah, its perfectly normal. I know, sometimes I have that problem. Maybe when you wipe the blood off, it doesn’t have a chance to get on the pad. You should consider buying a brand of pads that will obsorb the blood better. They do make overnight pads as well. You’re okay, its normal for periods to be this way. Just wipe thoroughly and, always change your pad about 3 to 4 hours. You don’t want that to smell. If you want, buy some sented pads that won’t let the smell get unpleasant. Good luck, and just wipe yourself real good and try to keep it so all the blood gets on the pad.
