camping while on your period? - September 1st 2012, 11:02 AM

im going camping on the 8th and chances are im going to be on my period while there (its already a bit overdue but unless i get it in the next 2 or 3 days i will be on it during.)

i have a couple things first. its just one night. going early saturday leaving sunday. second, i cant use tampons, just pads. i dont bleed enough and im personally not comfortable with them as they hurt a bit and i just dont like the idea of having bleached cotton up there xD and also there are only vault toilets there. if they had normal bathrooms i wouldnt have this problem haha. i dont bleed very much so im thinking i might be able to last one one pad the whole time but it wont be very comfortable.

im just wondering how to deal with that? i know its not always safe to throw them in an outside toilet like that (i guess animals are attracted to blood?) from some websites telling me that but idk.

what do you guys think i should do?
