Is it normal to leak while you have your period?

Yes, it's common for some individuals to experience leakage during their period, especially if they have a heavy flow or if they are using a menstrual product that isn't adequately suited to their needs. Factors such as not changing pads or tampons frequently enough, incorrect placement of products, or choosing the wrong absorbency can contribute to leaks. Using the right type and size of menstrual products, along with regular changes, can help minimize this issue. If leakage is a persistent concern, consulting with a healthcare provider may be beneficial.
