Performing a
bedikah on an
onat perishah is a halachic requirement, and cannot just be waived. However, in this case, you may perform only the bare minimum: that is to say, one
bedikah for each
onah, and one
onah for each
veset (not also the
onah beforehand, which is a common stringency). Thus, you should do one
bedikah each on the
onah beinonit,
yom hachodesh, and
haflagah. Since the first two overlap about half the time, this will mean two to three
bedikot total for the
onot of any given cycle.
Something else to note is that
onot are generally observed only based on a flow, not staining. So if you previously became
niddah only through spotting or through a stained
bedikah cloth, you would not observe
onot based on your last cycle. Please get back to us with details if you'd like to further clarify this point. It also might be helpful to review our articles "
Stains" and "
Toilet Paper".
