[quote=Anonymous]Make sure to discuss toxic shock syndrome if she is using tampons. My Mom forgot to remove a tampon in her 20’s and ended up at the emergency room. I have no idea how you forget you are wearing a tampon but it happens and it leads to bad results. The point is not to scare her but to discuss safe use to prevent illness.Tampons are a good way to deal with your period but they needed to be treated with respect.

And go over how to dispose of the products. Don’t flush pads or tampons, use the wrapper for the next pad to wrap the old pad in or some toilet paper and place it in the stall trash bin or the trash can in the bathroom. They are not flushable.

A newer tip from a female backpacker, they make compact towels that expand with water that I use backpacking. They are lightweight and can be carried easily enough in period kit bag. Having a few of those for clean up if a period starts unexpectedly instead of carrying a pack of wipes might be useful. You stop, add a bit of water, the towel opens up, and you have something to clean yourself with. The Scouts I take out backpacking love them for their business.  [/quote]
