I don't know if it's just me that has this problem -__-'... because I would htink by now they would have made bigger ones -__-'.

Because it always leaks and runs back! Also, sleep with a towel under you so you don't mess up your sheets! Yeah, that's what I do, except I have to do that during the way.  Thankfully though, always has finally come out with one long enough so that I only need one during the day (at least on most days), so that's kind of nice. Lol, but I also bought black sheets specifically for this reason... and I have a certain kind of sheet under that so that I can't ruin my mattress :)  Guys don't even know how much thought has to go into these things :P RedNoir Posted at 7:22 pm on Dec. 28, 2008 I put two back to back in my underwear when I sleep.

I just wish they'd make longer ones -__-' lmao.   Well that's true... lol. And WITH birth control =0 you poor thing, I would hate that so bad!   It's a little out there, but you might look up the diva cup. I have issues with being too heavy and they hold a lot, so it's supposed to simplify everything and they work fine overnight. I'm still not completely sold on the idea, but I'm thinking about getting one to try it out.   It's at least something to look into. Lol, it's worth checking into... I hate being on vacation and stuff with it, I always have to pack another dark colored blanket, and I can't sleep well, because I'm so paranoid -__-'.  It's just a pain in general. I'll give it some consideration... like you said, I'm not quite sold on the idea, pads are comfortable for me... but it would be nice to sleep a night without having to wake up at 4am and realize something went horribly wrong -__-'. taraxgoesxboom Posted at 2:00 pm on Dec. 28, 2008 Quote: from Just Waiting Here at 10:10 pm on Dec. 27, 2008 Quote: from taraxgoesxboom at 10:05 pm on Dec. 27, 2008 They do make REALLY long ones.... but tampons ftw?

But even so... I have yet to find anyone else that has the same complaint I do, though I'm pretty sure my mom had the same problem -__-'.

But when I did use pads I never thought they were too short.
