1. Tranexamic Acid - from your doctor or available in some countries from some pharmacies, you take a few tablets for the first few days of your period and it can reduce flow and length by up to half. A far less extreme and effective medical method of dealing with primary menorrhagia than hormonal birth control.
2. Menstrual cups - these hold a LOT more flow than tampons and/or pads and have light suction so don't leak like tampons or pads. Plus cups can be worn safely for 12 hours, including overnight, save a fortune in sanitary products, and many women report lessened flow and menstrual cramps.
I got my Mooncup http://www.mooncup.co.uk/wc.php?u=1741 nine years ago BEST THING EVER it made my super-heavy flow a million times easier to manage. I'd NEVER go back to tampons or pads.
