    Thanks for the video! I once didn't bring supplies along for a segment of a trail and i ended up using a pair of underwear and an arch support! I was unable to use tampons that others offered me. I was never so glad to see the van at the trailhead. Always bring extras off whatever works for you!

    I’ve been loving your videos as I get ready for the PCT this coming year!
    I use a cup and then actual use period underwear at night just for comfort and one less step in the morning. My period has gotten lighter on month long hikes so I can usually reuse the underwear and haven’t leaked through it yet but my period is typically shorter on hikes as well, and I wash them in town
    I’ve been off BC for over a year now too which I know is more of a privilege, Hope that’s helpful for someone

      OMG that makes me so happy! so exciting!! This is a great way to use period underwear! I knew someone would prove me wrong hahah. Glad it works for you, and yes no birth control is totally an option if it works for peeps, thanks for sharing!

    This upcoming summer will be my first off BC, so I really appreciate all of the tips and recommendations. I'm eager to try a cup and maybe make a combo of solutions for longer trips. Thank you!

    I hike with only one spare pair of pants. That's has been 100 per cent successful in birth control.

    Thank you for this video! I use two reusable pads and a single menstrual cup

    Please test out menstrual disc! That might work better than a cup for many. For me it was a life changer

      I will definitely try this at some point!
