Being a female during a zombie apocalypse has a lot of disadvantages. One of the main issues for us is when it comes to our periods. Feminine hygiene products will be hard to come across (stores could be looted out of those items already) or very hard to get access to because zombies will make it difficult.
In the old days women used pieces of fabric to adsorb the blood. They would wear it in their undergarments, and when it was at capacity, they would swap it out for a fresh one, and clean the dirty cloth. A lot of women in the world today still do this because of their culture and/or their location. Unlike the modern women, they wouldn’t be that concern about dealing with their periods during a apocalypse.
This is something that many females probably haven’t thought about when it comes to zombie apocalypse. It’s important for women to prepare themselves for when they have it during that. It has been suggested by many to get a Menstrual Cup, which is a reusable, flexible plastic cup worn inside the v****a during menstruation to collect menstrual fluid. Unlike tampons and pads, the cups collects rather than absorb it. They are safe, cost-efficient, environmentally friendly and can be used for up to 5 - 10 years.
They have a greater capacity than tampons, and can be emptied every 12 hours, unlike pads and tampons which may require changing every few hours. A woman only needs to wear one cup and clean and empty it at the end of the day rather than carry several replacement pads or tampons. By keeping menstrual fluid away from the vaginal walls and vulva and unexposed to air, menstrual cups have less odor associated with their use than with the use of tampons or pads.
The Cup, is a great feminine item to have on hand for a zombie apocalypse. However, this is something that females might want to try before an apocalypse because it won’t be easy to find during it and it does require some practice (which you might not have time for when zombies are everywhere). Also, this might not be for every female. So go with whatever you are comfortable with and can manage during a zombie apocalypse. Just be sure to figure it out before the apocalypse.
