😭 I just got my period and I feel like I didn’t put my pad on right and it feels like it’s more in my back than in my front and it feels wet in the back

Okay so this is super common and it just means your pad might be a little too far back. It is literally not a big deal and happens to everyone when they're first figuring out pads.

Your period blood comes from the front, like where your pee comes out but a little behind it, so you want the pad to be mostly under that spot. It's totally okay to adjust it. Just peel it off your underwear gently. Then put the front of the pad slightly more forward than you had it before, so it's centered under where the blood comes out. The sticky part helps it stay put.

If you're feeling wet, that means it might have leaked a little past the back of the pad. No stress! You can change your underwear and grab a fresh pad. Sometimes it takes a few tries to get the hang of where to stick it so it catches everything. If your flow is really heavy and going right to the back, you might need a longer pad for overnight or a heavy-flow pad. You got this.
