I still carry maxi pads in my FAK because of their size and absorption abilities.
When I had crews in the field, I always had an order of stupidity FAK. If the injured party was following safety protocol and using proper PPE, they got 4x4's and kerlix. If they were being stupid (i.e. no hard hat) they got 4x4's topped with the biggest Maxi-Pad taped to the most hair I could find. Both ways provided good F/A, but one provided a lesson also.
