My first two days are always heaviest and I just started yesterday afternoon. I decided to try tampons again and after going through three heavy flow pads in a 9 hour work day I picked up some light tampons because I have had issues with pulling out dry tampons before, and figured I would fill up a light one in much less than the recommended maximum of 8 hrs. 3-3.5 hours later I wanted to change it before bed so I pulled it out and there was barely anything on it! No leaks either. I dunno if this is normal but it just didn’t make sense to me.
