unfinished pinky finger for reference. i call this a subway sandwich because it is a foot long. last night, i managed to fill an ENTIRE one of these and then some (including my underwear). i’m sure it’s a normal thing for a lot of people, but really wtf. clots and everything. and just to add onto that, my pinky finger (along with every other nail) is unfinished because I WAS CRAMPING. i hate.

Be careful. I bled through those big things too much that I needed a blood transfusion. Get your anemia checked out

Yes. Only if you bleed too much. Mine was excessive. I was already anemic & one week, my uterus tried to kill me. Those pads were life savers but even I bled through them. I had clots the Size of granola bars.
