I'm having crazy heavy periods at the moment (which fit the perimenopause anovulation pattern) but I'm seeking some advice on how to manage them.

***TMI alert***

Obviously first thing to try is doubling up with both tampon and pad BUT I'm having problems with the tampon filling so quick it starts to slide out. I don't think it's a pelvic floor issue as such since I don't have any stress incontinence or anything, I think it's literally because the flow is so heavy.

Any tips on how to manage? I welcome recommendations on best brands of pads & tampons from your experience. Please no oral contraceptive suggestions, that is not an option with a breast cancer history. Keen to hear any suggestions at all. Thanks
