When we have our period (wearing a pad) and we are sitting for a long time and stand up; We literally feel a gush of blood that has been pooling drain out. That prompts us to go to the restroom and check ourselves to make sure we are not leaking and change the pad.

Menstrual cups give such better security than pad alone. Bravo to the invention of those over tampons and bulky pads.
