Ladies...how many do you wear at once?!? I was having a conversation with my mother and she started telling me about this lady she works with who wears 3 at the same time!!! AND they are the regular overnight ones too!!! I do not comprehend her reasons for it. She thought that it was normal to wear three. Even all the ladies she works with told her to wear one. It was so blucky that the guys would wonder what was wrong with her. She wouldn't listen no matter how many times she was told that she looked rediculous. Only when my mom spoke to her about it was when she realized. I'm not sure if she still does it but my gosh! She is in her early 40s too!!!

3 PADS..... Is she o.k.???? Hell i only wear one regular. She must have not been taught how to wear pads when she was younger. I feel sorry for her. Maybe she did not have a mother around to show her the right way. And if she did she did not pay proper attention to her.

I have no idea how her upbringing was. but I think it is just common sence. She is really simple minded though. So maybe that could be it. She has two teenage daughters who thinks she's bizzar and wear 1 pad at a time.

WOW! 3 pads at the same time?! Does she think it will seep through the first one and leak into the second one and so forth or something? I agree it must look extremely bulky. I only wear one and one is enough. If mine is coming heavy I just change often before it even gets soaked up. i am glad she listened to your mum, but I also wonder if she still does it. Sometimes it's hard to break a habit, no matter what it is.

I guess we're abnormal and the way to wear pads is 3 at a time. Maybe we missed the rule book. I spoke with my mom the other day and she told me that the lady STILL wears 3 pads...but now wears longer shirts.

Maybe she has a very heavy cycle and this helps. It is strange, lol.

I think "safer" is the word. I just can't wrap my head around it. I'm so relieved when I don't have to wear them again until next month.
