Once again my lineage of being the son of an OBGYN and knowing FAR TOO MUCH about women comes into play...
Azo Test Strips. Azo Cranberry Pills.
Now I need to go kill a small animal with my bare hands to regain my manliness..... LOL! LOL!

There is a device made of Silicone,that Women can use to write their name in the Snow,It's called a SheWee,An ex-GF used one to great effect,she even managed to wee on the tree,next to me,lol!It doesn't work with every woman due to Anatomical positioning,etc.(her friend had a tough go of it),They were about $10,3yrs ago,I don't have any links but I'll bet if you googled shewee,you would get to what I'm talking about,they even had glow-in-the-dark/Neon colors!

Don't forget an extra bra too. They're like your boots though - a good fit is important and not all bras are built the same. I respectfully disagree. Having a bra that fits is more important than the footwear. Jeanette Isabelle I'd slightly disagree. Pick up any Nat'l Geographic and you'll find a lot of women w/o bras. Granted, most ladies I know don't plan on walking around au natural, but point remains, a bra isn't strictly mandatory. I've had more than one female patient ask me about bra-related issues (and I have no idea why - literally next door my boss is an OB/GYN) - which isn't quite the same as having them for myself, I know - so this thread is of some interest to me. Something else to consider for women - birth control pills. You don't HAVE to have a period every month. If you're already on some form of pill, why not stash a pack or 2 in your BOB. Skip the last week's sugar pills and start the next pack. You can do several months like this before really needing to take a break.

If planning your disaster ahead of time is possible, there are also pills that will stop your period from happening. I don't remember what they're called, but your OB/GYN would know.

You guys can use a well sealed, well labeled bottle in the tent right? That could have it's advantages.

Re: menstrual products, some good thoughts already but what about a reusable product like the Keeper or even reusable pads? Of course, depending on the situation there could be sanitary concerns...

Something to keep in mind if you're planning to use birth control pills, especially if you'd only use them for an emergency, is that all pills are different and some women don't tolerate them well. The ones I've tried give me terrible headaches, for instance.
