ladies: moontime in south america

topic posted Fri, June 22, 2007 - 9:37 PM by  rebecca~rose
Well I've bought my ticket to spend 5 months in south america. I will be spending time in hostels, backpacking, and possibly living in as little as a tent at some points. I'm super-excited, but I'm wondering if anyone has good advice about how to take care of my moonflow. I currently use the keeper menstrual cup, but the only drawback is that I sometimes need to wash my hands after emptying it, and I hear that many latrines there don't have sinks. I also hear that tampons are hard to come by. what worked best for you ladies? as anyone used the keeper or another menstrual cup in a third-world country? all comments welcome!
