Traveling on your period: a real female challenge
Taking a train, spending hours on a plane, going on a trek or a road trip... traveling is a source of excitement, but when your period falls at the same time, enthusiasm can quickly turn into stress.
Women experience all of these situations:
-
unavailable or dirty toilets,
-
long hours of travel without breaks,
-
protections that become saturated too quickly,
-
discomfort and pain accentuated by movement.
Good news: with a little planning and the right accessories, it's possible to travel with peace of mind, even during your period.
Mistakes to avoid when traveling with your period
Certain habits, often adopted as a reflex, make life even more complicated while traveling. Here are some mistakes to avoid:
1. Holding it in too long
It is sometimes thought that waiting “just a little bit” is more convenient, but it is bad for the bladder and can promote urinary tract infections.
2. Drinking too little water
Many women cut back on their water intake for fear of having to go to the bathroom too often. This is a bad idea: it increases fatigue, dehydration, and the risk of pain.
3. Mismanaging your protections
Changing your pad or tampon too late can cause discomfort and unpleasant odors. When traveling, we sometimes forget to check the time.
4. Sticking to a single solution
Limiting yourself to disposable tampons or pads, without alternatives, can be problematic if you run out of stock while traveling.

A few disposable towels : for emergency use.
