So... there are only four days out of our long 365 day year that are the WORST to have my period. And it’s just my luck I start it on the first of the four days.

My periods are heavy as hell. An Ultra every hour and a half.

I have a swim meet (which is the biggest one of the year) where I am swimming in a knee skin swim suit that takes 20+ minutes to take on an off.

The next day we drive for 8 hours non stop to go on a rafting trip where we don’t get off the raft for 6 hours.

You can see that this is a problem

If there is ANYTHING I can do

a) delay it

b) make it lighter

c) use something that can hold more than an Ultra tampon
