From Heavy Flow To Light Days: The Best Period Panties For Every Flow

Understanding Your Flow: A Brief Overview

Menstruation is a natural process where the uterus sheds its lining every month through the vagina if pregnancy has not occurred. People call it menses, periods, or the menstrual cycle. During periods, we release a combination of blood, mucus, and tissue from the uterus.

Women experience common symptoms like cramps, lower back pain, breast tenderness, mood swings, bloating, irritability and tiredness during this time. Every woman's menstrual cycle is different in how long it lasts, which can change depending on age and other factors.  Changes in hormone levels due to puberty, certain medications, stress, or health conditions can cause your period to come early.

Knowing your body and understanding your flow is an effective way to manage your periods. Menstrual flow differs among every woman. A menstrual cycle lasts 3-8 days and recurs every 21-35 days, calculated from the first day of one period to the first day of the next. During this time, it can be a bit tricky to determine exactly how much blood someone loses, but on average, it's about 4 tablespoons over five days. It is normal to experience both heavy and light flow during periods. Heavy flow along with small clots occurs at the start of menstruation and gradually decreases over the following days. 

Here’s Edward-Elmhurst Health's article on how your period changes over the years. It explains the different ways your menstrual cycle can change as you age, including what to expect during various life stages. For more details, visit their blog: How Your Period Changes Through the Years.

Heavy Flow

Keeping track of your menstrual cycle is important. If your periods last more than 7 days and involve heavy bleeding with large clots, it is commonly called menorrhagia. Excessive menstrual bleeding can cause significant blood loss, leading to iron deficiency (anemia) in women. This intense bleeding requires effective hygienic protection such as menstrual cups, tampons, absorbent sanitary napkins along with period panties, and frequent changes are necessary to avoid overflow.

Some common causes of abnormal menstrual bleeding include thyroid issues, fibroids, endometriosis, PCOS(Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome), infections in the uterine lining, miscarriages, hormonal changes and certain medications. Heavy flow can sometimes disrupt daily life, so if you experience abnormal bleeding and have concerns about the amount of bleeding, it is advisable to consult your gynaecologist or another healthcare professional to identify the underlying causes. For more information on managing heavy menstrual bleeding, visit the Cleveland Clinic's page on Heavy Menstrual Bleeding (Menorrhagia).

Medium Flow

We understand that menstrual flow varies from person to person and can be influenced by health factors. You might experience medium bleeding at the start and end of your period, that lasts no more than 2 or 3 days and requires minimal changes of menstrual products like pads or tampons. The colour of discharge can range from bright red to brown, depending on the day of the cycle. Even if your flow is light or absent, bacteria can still accumulate. Changing your pad every 3 to 4 hours (more often if your period is heavy) is good hygiene and helps prevent bad odors.

Light Flow Or Spotting

Periods that are lighter than usual are usually not a reason to worry. Many people notice that their menstrual flow changes from month to month, and some months are just lighter than others. Light bleeding or spotting also known as hypomenorrhea lasts no more than 1 or 2 days and can be managed with panty liners. The discharge often looks darker or browner because the blood changes colour when exposed to oxygen as it travels from your uterus to the pad, tampon, or other period products.

Periods are a key part of our reproductive health. Having regular periods with a normal flow is usually not a cause for concern.  However, if periods are light or irregular,  it could indicate something isn't quite right. Factors like stress, poor nutrition, thyroid problems, hormonal changes, weight changes, age (like during adolescence or menopause), pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, and conditions like PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) can cause periods to become lighter, scanty, or irregular. If you have concerns about your menstrual health, it's important to consult your gynaecologist for advice.
