I have a funeral in just under two weeks and I feel my period is about to start. I say period, I have very heavy bleeding for approx 3 weeks a month due to fibroids and polyps and am on a waiting list for a hysterectomy. I really do not want to miss the funeral and am worried if I am in a very heavy day so thought a pair or two of period pants might be worth trying along with some heavy flow sanitary towels. Can anyone recommend some to me that work and aren't too expensive. I would only be wearing them for this day, maybe longer of the hysterectomy doesn't happen before we go away for a week later in the year, where I would get some more.
