Not sure if this is the correct place, so Mods feel free to move it.
So I got to thinking about it the other day. Most females between the ages of 12-50 menstruate and/or use some type of hormonal birth control. Obviously humans will likely not become completely celibate when SHTF nor will females stop menstruating. Birth control is not as much of an issue unless they use it to help mitigate symptoms of another medical issue. Feminine hygiene can be accomplished thru cloth pads and menstrual cups but it is not going to be easy for many to adapt as females today have gotten used to the convenience of single-use pads/tampons. The main issue I see is pain management for females who have things like PCOS and Endometriosis and overall painful cycles as a result of all of the hormones and chemicals in our diet.
I know what my general plan is for management of these things but as someone who has a history of debilitating cycles, I'm concerned with a situation where we have to stay on the move.
So my question for the ladies (and gentlemen with ladies in their lives) is what is your plan for feminine cycles after SHTF?
