mmm. dunno about this. When my cycle is really bad, I get cramps with diarrhea, plus a super heavy flow that involves changing out supers like once an hour. The good news, it just lasts a day. The bad news is, frankly I'd rather stay home than deal potential leakage and other disasters. To top it off, I've found that the soft bits get a bit congested and then I'm more prone to chafing and other issues. Sorry for TMI, but that's just how it is sometimes. The days I have things going on and have to deal with this while out and about are a real nuisance.
