TikTok user @alisonkoroly uploaded a video after making her discovery.
She showed how you place a pad like normal along the middle of your pants, but then grab a second pad.

“I needed this info years ago.”
Her tip has racked up over 60,000 likes, and people thanked her for sharing it online.
One wrote: “so y couldn’t I have seen this like 5 days ago.”
A second added: “I haven’t seen anyone do it like that before.”
