What shall I do about my period when camping??!


Question: On friday I'm going on a camping expedition for 3 days (2 nights) and im expecting my period around this time!!!! (I am also unable to change the expedition dates too, so im kind of stuck...)

We will be camping in the wild, so there won't be any toilets or anything!!! Could I use any pills to stop my period?? If so where can I get them???

I'm quite worried about this!!!

Awe camping is Awesome , it dose suck that you have to do it during your period .. i really don't think you need a pill.. i dint even know if taking "the pill " would STOP your period if just Started and it might mess up your body alittle,, if you really want to .. talk to a doc asap ..

I would recommend tampons like everyone else is ..
carry some little zip lock baggies to put the used ones in .. or maybe I'm not sure if you COULD .. but they do have ALL natural tampons .. and if allowed you might be able to dig a hole and put the used ones in .. if they are decomposable but check on the rules of where your going camping ..
and YES definitely carry a travel pack of baby wipes there like 1.00 at target in the travel section in the heath and beauty section .. and since those might not decompose you will want to bring a plastic baggie for the used ones ..
best of luck ..
periods suck .. however ,, they mean you get to have a baby some day ,, :)

There are pills you can get but they have to be prescribed to you by your doctor. If there won't be any toilets, where are you gonna be pooing and getting washed ?

you could go on the pill but im not sure if ur doctor would prescribe them for this reason only .......u can get them frm ur doctor btw.

If you go to your doctor straight away then i think that there is a pill that can stop it.

Take nappy bags and baby wipes, and you can freshen yourself up when you do your business, and dispose of the evidence in a nappy bag.

Carry around a brown paper bag for your trash, and use it for your used tampons. It may be helpful to tell at least one friend or the leader, that you have your period so that they can help accomadate you though.

I use tampons for this sort of situation. Just bring a little plastic bag to dispose them in, so they're seperate from your other stuff!

Its too late to start the pills now. Also, doctors dont prescribe the pills for anybody unless they have a medical reason or are sexually active, and when they are sexually active they have to stop taking the pills so that the period may happen.
I suggest you wear a big sanitary pad, and I know this sounds gross, but when some ladies go big trips where they cant use the toilets they just turn around the pad. I think its kinda gross but lotsa women do it. Also, there will be privacy for going to the loo even if it isnt in a proper toilet. You could just quickly change then and bury the sanitary pad, as you do with your waste. Lolz this is really weird typing...
Anyway, hope this helps.
Any more questions, feel free to email me.
Good luck and god bless
Have fun on your camping trip

Go to your doctors, there are pills you can get to delay your period but i think you have to start them a few days before you are due on.
I can't see any reason why they won't prescribe them, i took them 4 years ago for the same reason

All I can say is rather you then me!
I know when I'm on a period I like to be home and close to a toilet.

Get a GP to prescribe a medication that can postpone your period otherwise you will have a hellish time.

If you're on the contaceptive pill you can continue taking it without any break (i.e. just start the next month as soon as this one is finished). I don't think it would be a great idea to take pills to stop your period. That doesn't sound very healthy. I've been in your position before and it's not as bad as it seems. Just go somewhere private(prob behind a tree!). Bring some deoderant wipes as I think the worst part is not feeling clean.

There is a pill called the holiday pill you have to take it 7 days before you are due on your period and it stops it for that month. ive used it before at dancing shows because i havnt wanted to be on my period during them as it makes me feel like rubbish, and theyre good! hope this helped!

i went on a school trip to france and that was on my due week! i went to the doctors, and they prescribed some pill (can't remember what it is called) but it stopes your period for the required amount of time, but i dont know how far before you have to take it....get an appointment with your doctor monday and see what they can do for you.
if you are on the pill, just run 2 packs together so you miss your period.

There are 2 ways to do this, either to run 2 packs of combined pill together, i.e take the pill for 42 days in a row, or to use the progesterone norithisterone. Both techniques require you to see your GP and get an appropriate prescription.

i think you should bring some baby wipes and a plastic bag for your used tampons or pads.
you could always change somewhere in the woods where no-one can see you
