A member asked:

The first 2 days of my period a super tampon was leaking after 2 hours is that normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Wayne Ingram answered

Maybe/maybe not: If the bleeding is that excessive most people change the tampon after one hour to avoid "accidents" and make a GYN MD appointment to find out why.
