A regular period pad often takes in near 5 mL of menstrual blood, while heavy pads in lab tests can reach 20–50 mL before failure.

A whole-blood donation usually takes about 470–500 mL, while plasma, platelets, and double red cell donations take different amounts and follow different wait

Most adults can give one whole-blood donation (about 450–500 mL) in a single day, with other collection types set by weight-based device limits.

Most whole-blood donations collect about one pint (450–470 mL), set so the draw stays under a small share of your total blood volume.
