I hope you don't mind me asking, and this is a legitimate question, not satire. How do you ladies prepare for "feminine hygiene" in a small kit? I don't have to worry about it, so I've never given it much thought, but it seems like something that should be a priority.
For me, I pay attention to my cycle and the calendar, so I have a good idea when to expect it, and then plan accordingly. When it's in an around my time of the month, I carry pads and or tampons, wipes, baggies for disposal and an extra pair of unders, just in case. (BOB gets the same treatment but the supplies stay in there all the time, for both myself and my step-daughter.) I take anywhere from 1 to 3 days worth when I think I might need them. I also have pads in my FAK and a tampon or two in my fire kits, which have come in handy when a female Scout or Scouter has an unexpected visitor.
