When you're on your period and instead of yamming a chunk of cotton up your vagine or wearing a diaper you just let your blood free flow .
"Hey girl do you need a tampon to shove up there ? " ... " No thanks I'm free bleeding and it feels great ! "

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.

When a woman is menstruating and chooses to not wear a tampon or pad because it's made by men. This is done by extreme feminists who think this furthers their cause. It just makes you look like a fool and shows a lack of respect for others and basic hygiene.
"Hey did you see the girl at the farmers market with the pit hair?"
"Totally dude, did you notice the blood on her legs it looks like someone stabbed her cooter with a letter opener"
"Damn free bleeders!"

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.

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’.

“Neither I’m free-bleeding using period underwear.”
“Does that count as free-bleeding?”
“No idea.”
