A process done by someone on their period that involves not using a tampon or sanitary pad and instead “free-bleeding”.
Reasons a person would choose to free-bleed include(in no particular order):
1. Extreme ‘feminist’ beliefs that using tampons/sanitary pads, having been invented by men, endorses the patriarchy and tricks women into “raping themselves”
2. Religious reasons/beliefs that prohibit the use of things like tampons and sanitary pads, such as some interpretations of older Orthodox Judaism, Islam, some Hindu communities(unconfirmed), and certain Christian denominations such as Catholicism.
3. A person is uncomfortable with using tampons and/or sanitary pads and instead choosing to free-bleed, often opting for period underwear/absorbent undergarments so there won’t be a lot of mess. It is unclear whether or not using period underwear is/should be considered ‘free-bleeding’.

Get the Bleeding Hollowmug. That moment when you are wearing white pants, period underwear, a tampon, and a pad but coochie blood goes through all that anyway, but you've been laying down on the floor for some reason and your coochie blood touches your asshole. So then you get up and the coochie blood is right in your ass crack showing through your pants.
Side note why do tampons look like long sperm cells?
