Nothing like that yet - staining clothes at work or in public, but it was close a few times. But then I always wear a mini pad so it helped. I work in a building on a 28th floor where there is a mall on main level. So worst case I could go grab a pair at Reitmans or hit the drugstore. But I always have in a drawer of my work desk some supplies (pads, tampons, deodorant, etc.) I hate being caught off guard.

I haven't had mine in 2-3 months now. The joy of being 50! But I cannot stand the hot flashes, which of course start mostly as soon as I hit the bed. So sleeping with fan facing me, air conditionning on higher, etc. I think I prefer my periods to the night "heat".
