There’s variation between people on how much they menstruate. Some people have very light flows, some people have very heavy flows. It also changes a bit over the course of the period - you might start out with a lighter flow, have a heavier flow in the middle, and then end with a lighter flow. You generally want to go with the lightest one you can for comfort reasons.
I think they were asking why doesn’t everyone just use the heaviest flow ones all the time, just to be on the safe side — like are they less comfortable than the lighter flow ones for example?
