How Long Does Your Period Last?

I have really bulky bleeding the first two days - I end up wearing a wipe AND a tampon for extra protection, usually changing every 5 hours or so. Then it last for another 3 or 4 days. Is this healthy? Or everyday? I guess I would just approaching to hear from a few other women about it. Thanks! Sounds totally common to me. I am usually on a five-day cycle. the first day is massively light, the second and third days are amazingly heavy and next it starts to taper off.
Sometimes I am surprised at how plentiful tampons I use - sometimes as often as an hour or two, sometimes four hours. I found that most times (but not always) when I set off to cramp, my plug needs varying - it's like a moment or two alarm. Then the cramps go away.
If discharge is a problem, you may try a different brand of tampon. I would hate to wear a wipe and a tampon - I prefer a very spare pantiliner with a sturdy tampon. Ever since 7th echelon when the cutest boy in arts school pinched my butt and got a handful of wad instead, I've been frightened of pads!
OB make "ultra" absorbency tampons that always catch me through the night and greatly heavy days - better than a "super plus." However, heaps women don't like OB because nearby is no applicator (but they are so very discrete contained by your purse!).
