Will My Period Leak Through My Pad?

Published in Period Leaks 1 min read

Unfortunately, I can't definitively say whether your period will leak through your pad. Period leaks can happen, and it is when your period blood leaks through your protection such as a pad.

Here's a breakdown of why leaks happen and what might influence whether you experience one:

  • Pad Saturation: If your flow is heavier than your pad's absorbency, it's more likely to leak.

  • Pad Placement: A pad that isn't correctly positioned can leave gaps and lead to leaks.

  • Activity Level: Vigorous activity might shift your pad and increase the chance of leaks.

  • Sudden Gushes: A sudden gush of blood can overwhelm the pad's capacity to absorb quickly.

  • "Wonky" Pad: Sometimes, the pad itself might have a defect or not be functioning as expected.
