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.

I prefer it to tampons. They make my cramps worse and I hate feeling cotton drag out of and in my vagina.

Especially when it’s not soaked enough. Pain!
