I only use about 1-2 pads a day. But i also do the toliet paper thing. When you wrap the toliet paper basically into a pad itself, but wider. I HAVE to do that or else i leak almost right after i change my pad! [[from the sides]] I understand what shes saying, half a roll per day IS alot, But i dont know what else to do! I cant keep staining my underwear. Im 14, Cant get on birthcontrol.. HELP. Btw ive had it for 3 years.
