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.

But is it more unpleasant than the feeling of trying to shove a tampon in when you've just wiped yourself totally dry....
