Attention Heavy Flow Ladies

my family has always been known to have a very heavy flow. my mother got her tubes tied and my grandmother had a hysterectomy. I am not ready for either yet and didn’t like birth control. (i tried MANY options). i have found that depends briefs are the only thing that absorbs my heavy flow. Do y’all use these too for your period? i have a problem though. They always seem to smell powdery. the scent is noticeable through my clothes. I am using always discreet right now. do y’all have any other brands that you use that don’t smell so powdery?
