A member asked:

My tampon fills up with a clear, thin, watery fluid when i am on my period. is this normal? my pap came back normal. what is this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Blood from your period can gather on the outside of the tampon as clots, and the clear fluid of the blood, aka plasma, can seep inside.
