I use pads that are "hypoallergenic" for lack of better terms. The cost about the same as regular pads do at the drugstore or Walmart but I can only find them at the organics store. The irritation to my skin was none existent with the "hypo" ones.

I’ve been wearing period diapers and that helps at night. I wear heavy maxi organic pads during the day and change them every 2 hours or so

I got the diva cup because I participated in a research study that they are creating a blood test that will be able to tell if you have endometriosis without surgery! Personally, it hurts too much and gives me cramps on some of my cycles, then I use pads. Otherwise it’s incredible and I don’t bleed all over everything! Wish it wasn’t painful I’d use it every cycle

I also use pads, anything that inserts inside the body's seems to bring more pain to me.

I have also switched to a menstural cup. I have the same issue with heavy bleeding and tampons. I find that the cup still isn't enough for overnight during heavy days, so I double up with a panty liner or pad.
