How To Deal With Your Period While Camping: Leave No Trace Skill Series

For many women, periods can be an uncomfortable and personal topic. Some may find it hard to ask, "What am I supposed to do in the outdoors if I'm on my period?". In addition, male guides or educators may skirt the issue, avoiding a topic they may not feel knowledgeable about. If some women are unwilling to ask and men feel uncomfortable explaining, we risk damage and impacts to the outdoor places we visit if periods are dealt with in a less than Leave No Trace way.

im going camping for the first time during a period. I dont want it to get in my sleeping back-

[@abigailrobinson]

Is there any advice I can give you? Or have you already been, and if so how was it?

[@Hugs4drugs08]

@@abigailrobinson I need some advice please, I’m most concerned about leaks as there won’t be much access to toilets

[@abigailrobinson]

@@Hugs4drugs08 you might try wearing an overnight or maxi pad during the day or wearing a pad and tampon. Another trick I use is to wear 2 pads and just peel off the top one so you don’t have to take a fresh one with you to the bathroom. I hope this helps! 💜 😊
