^ you got some good advice. Although, I'm gonna be totally gross and say that when I've been REALLY light, and camping, I lasted around 15 hours without changing. It was icky, and really unsanitary, but eh, I survived! Take baby wipes, and use those whenever you go to the bathroom. If you can find biodegrade pads, I heard you can bury them in the ground! Just bury them really well- wouldn't want them to be accidentally discovered.... My situation was a bit different to yours, I was hiking AND camping (of the joys of the Duke of Edinburgh award!)

Another thing I've done (again, probably unsanitary but I figured heck, I'm camping, I'm not particularly clean anyway ) was just carry the used pads wrapped up in a small bag in your backpack if you go somewhere. Then, when you're out and about you can throw away the use ones into a toilet that DOES have bins.

But have fun! Don't let it get you down x



Take as long as you need.
