Sleep with tampons in?
So I’m 23 and I can not remember a single period in my entire life that I didn’t bleed all over my underwear and pajamas while I was sleeping with a pad. Like I wake up and it feels like I just stepped out of the bloody bathroom scene from the IT remake.

I buy the longest pads they have, the #5, but I either place them up too far and bleed over the back, or I don’t place them far enough up and bleed all over the front. I honestly have to buy new underwear every couple of months because I ruin them all. I’m honestly just getting so sick and tired of it, but I’m not sure what else I can do. The only thing I can think of is to sleep with a tampon in, but some nights I get around 8 hours of sleep, and the thought of having a tampon in that long is kind of scary with TSS and everything. But even beyond that, I’m not even sure I wouldn’t bleed through that too. I just don’t know, any advice?
