Okaay, so. I need some advice. I’m on my period, and im seeing my boyfriend tomorrow. I use tampons, but I tend to leak sometimes. (I use pantie liners, but sometimes it STILL bleeds through.) We plan to make out like a lot, like we usually do. (Usually me straddling him, you know) but I’m reallyy scared that it’ll bleed through. And that would be really embarrassing. Am I just over thinking? or what should I do?

You’re overthinking. It’s really not that big of a deal.

However…you can wear an actual pad instead of just thin panty liners for extra protection to make you feel more secure. For your tampon, I suggest you use size Super Absorbency or Super Plus if you have problems with bleed through. Change it right before you start making out with him. If you’re bleeding through a pad AND your tampon within 4 hours, then you might want to discuss this with your doctor. ‘Cause that’s not typical.
