But you’ll never have to experience that again with this clever hack.

Alice Williams, founder of ovira.co.uk (a device for drug-free period pain relief) took to TikTok to share her simple hack for dealing with a heavy period.

“Place a pad on your panties like you normally would.

“Then get a second pad and place horizontally where your butt goes. 

“This helps prevent leaks and collect more blood.” 

In Alice’s video, she demonstrates her heavy period hack and we see using two pads, one where you would normally put it and then the other the opposite way, at the back of the knickers, to further collect any blood.
