Meaning of free bleed | Babel Free

Definitions

The practice of menstruating without using menstrual products like pads or tampons; allowing the period blood to flow freely; often managed by wearing absorbent period underwear, using dark clothing to hide stains, or placing a towel down to catch leaks.

Examples

“Free bleeding is exactly what it sounds like: it’s letting your period blood flow, instead of catching it with a tampon, pad or menstrual cup. You can free bleed into specially made absorbent clothing — particularly “period panties.” Or you can dress in dark colors that hide the stains.”
