I agree weekends can be hard it's the 'need' to relax & have fun mentality.
my periods are very heavy & I've been flooding with clots, I went to the docs and my ovaries are failing, no idea how long they take to 'die'!!! But the doc said they will just stop, anyhow I did a bit of research and came across the Mooncup (do a search for it) and have bought one from Boots, I've not used it yet but I've got high hopes they are good for heavy periods.
have a good day whatever you do x
