Tampons and liners are most people’s go to protection, however they are in no way eco-friendly.

When you’re living in the wild, you cannot be leaving these behind.

One way of dealing with this is by taking two Ziploc bags with you, one for new tampons, one for used tampons.

Some people take this a step further however and invest in a dry bag (much like the ones used by parents that use cloth diapers, to store their used sanitary products.)

It seems a bit gross, yes, but its much better than leaving anything behind that could do damage to the environment and animals.

Once you’ve returned to civilisation, swiftly throw them away!
