The first question is pure curiosity, the second question is to make me feel less stupid, the third is purely practical.

Navy blue sheets and the heavy duty cycle in the washer with cold water.

Don't have uterus or ovaries anymore but I always used heavy duty tampons along with the longest most heavy duty pads and overnight was still a problem.

Easy to say this 24 years after beating ovarian cancer, but I'm entirely serious when I say that cancer surgery and four months of chemo was a fair trade for also getting rid of the endometriosis massively festooning my insides.

Ouch, yeah, from the terrible things I've read about endometriosis I can imagine that getting rid of that is worth a lot.
