use sanitary towels...
really strange question here. I've not had periods for a long time due to being on the injection, and coming off it recently i've only just started back on having them. Now this is my second one, and whilst i obviously know how to use towels n tampons etc, i can't help thinking im doing something wrong!! if i'm not wearing a tampon, the blood doesn't just stay on the towel, it runs down to the back of my knickers, and ruins them!
admittedly i am sat down at a desk a lot, so it could be the angle at which i'm sat, but i am nearly 100% sure that this did not happen when i used to have periods! I can't remember though. My other option is wearing those night time ones...but surely it shouldn't be happening?? so confused.

When I use them I tend to find I need them quite a long way back. Middle of the towel over the middle of the gusset type thing (I think).
I seem to need to have them positioned far further back than any instinct suggests.
i would also suggest the night time ones.
I always feel like my skin can't breathe when i use them and that they stick to my arse far too much for my liking.
i cant believe i just wrote that.....
