Do you experience period leaks at night? Here are some ways to prevent leakage at night to sleep peacefully.

Choose the right menstrual product

Use pads specifically designed for overnight use. Menstrual cups can be worn for up to 12 hours and hold more fluid than tampons or pads.

Proper positioning

Make sure that your pad, tampons, and menstrual cups are correctly placed. It can help prevent leakage.

Adjust your sleeping position

It is recommended to sleep on your preferred side as this can help reduce pressure on your abdomen and may lessen the chance of leaks.

Use extra protection

You can place a towel or period-proof blanket on your bed to protect your sheets in case of leaks.

Change before bed

Use a fresh tampon, pad, or menstrual cup right before going to sleep to maximise absorbency. This habit can help keep personal or period hygiene at its best and provide complete protection from leakage.

Use period products with wings

Pads with wings can help keep them securely in place and provide additional protection against side leaks.

Monitor your flow

Keep track of your menstrual cycle to anticipate when your flow might be heavier and take extra precautions on those nights.
