What do you do for heavy period flow?
My periods keep getting heavier and heavier. They're fairly regular, mind, with a day or two of a each other cycle to cycle. I'm at the point where I'm wearing 3 of the largest pads I can find (Always maxi overnights with wings and everything) at the same time in different orientations and still overflowing if I'm not changing them sometimes as often as every hour. Are there pads that are bigger and/or more absorbent? How does period underwear work and where do you find credible ones? I see talk of that but haven't seen any in my local stores where I find my pads. Do post partum pads work on period blood and are they bigger and/or more absorbent, and if so, where do I find them?
Note, not looking for anything that's inserted like tampons or menstration cups as I'm simply not comfortable with inserting anything.
Also, I'm in the US with no healthcare, so an OBGYN isn't an option for these questions...
