Free Bleeding 

When laying down, commonly known as 'posting up' and allowing the blood to flow freely from the vagina. One may also utilize a 'free bleeding blanket' preferably of darker coloring to wrap one's body up much like a burrito. Freeing of the blood also entails putting tissue paper or various paper items up there..anything other than a tampon.

"Give me my free bleeding blanket"
"I just free bled all over you"
"Is that free blood on my face"

Free Bleeding 

Free Bleeding is an unsettling feminist trend in which women on their periods refuse to use tampons and other feminine hygiene products and instead let blood flow freely from their uterus and down their legs. The logic behind this is that tampons are a male-created product that promotes patriarchy by tricking women into raping themselves.

My aunt decided to try free bleeding. I now refuse to sit on any of her furniture.

Free-Bleeding 

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’.

“Are you using tampons or pads for your period?”

“Neither I’m free-bleeding using period underwear.”

“Does that count as free-bleeding?”

“No idea.”
