Wear Stain-Resistant Workout Clothes
If you fear to stain your workout clothes, add something more fun to the rotation. Buy workout pants that have a breathable leak-proof lining and holds as much as a pad or a tampon does. You will never have to worry about what is happening down there during your yoga class.
Use Absorbent and Thicker Pads
If your heavy menstrual flow gives you nightmares, use overnight sanitary pads that are longer and are designed to prevent leakage. Pick pads that are very absorbent and thick.
Protect your sheets by placing towels underneath while you are sleeping. While your towel might stain, you can prevent the sheets. It can be a great way to put your mind at ease and give you a good night's sleep during those days of the month.
