Period product labelling should be changed

[DwangelaForever]

AIBU to think that in 2020 with so much progress made to de-stigmatise periods and help people understand that periods are a natural and normal part of life, that we should get rid of the "night" label for the heaviest flows?

I have suffered with heavy periods since I was 12, teenage me was mortified at the thought of using a "night time" pad during the day as they are marketed as night time rather than the heaviest flow?

Another thing that annoys me is the label and design of the long pads where they say a certain way round is the "correct" way just because they say most leaks are at the back? My body isn't built like this lol for some reason any time I need extra coverage, I "leak" to the front and if I wore a pad the "correct way" it would offer absolutely zero protection.

Lol sorry for the weird rant, currently on atm if you haven't already guessed lol.

For anyone that has super heavy periods (I only ever used pads as overflow) you go for the longest ultra heavy super absorbent, and don't really give a fuck what they're called.

Yes.

I had no idea that there was a correlation with the size of the woman.

There isn't, you buy the size that suits your flow. DD couldn't use the tiny teen towels as her periods are quite heavy, she isn't heavy 🤦
