Pick it up and discreetly dispose of it at your next opportunity.

It looks like only women have answered this one so far ... so why don't I wade in ...
My suggestion is to run quickly to a spot about 20 feet away from the offending not-so-sanitary-anymore item and begin making a scene. When people start gathering around, hopefully contributing loose change and positive feedback for your artistic abilities, stop what you are doing and point to the most obvious onlooker (trust me, you'll know ...) and say energetically "okay, your turn." Now, the important part. Back into the circle that has formed, moving backwards towards the initial cause of the hoopla. While the poor sap who was in the wrong place at the wrong time tries to live up to the Oscar-quality performance you just completed, continue to sidle towards your lost feminne product. When it lies at your feet, quickly stoop down, grab it, and stash it away.
If you are caught, just say "these things should come with Velcro(TM)" and calmly walk away.
Or just do the last part. Thanks for not littering.

Pretend that does not belong to you, but seriously how can you drop a sanitary napkin if you are wearing under wear.

I do hope this was a nice clean wrapped one. The other alternative is too embarrassing for words.
So assuming it was one you were about to use and not one in the midst of being used.... I would just stop, laugh if possible and wait for people to pass by and pick it up.

just pick up right away as fast as you can and say sorry to the person behind you and walk fast like when the wind blow and next time has to be very careful

Tell me you don't mean that it fell from your knickers whilst being used! If that's what DID happen, I'd go straight to the nearest department store and buy myself a new, (tighter) pair!

Pick it up. Don't be ashamed or embarrassed about it. Your a woman, same as if a man drops a condom. At least he's using protection. Dont be embarrassed at all.

lol. I would probably be embarassed and laugh. If i only had one on me, I'd definetely grab it.. but if i had more than one, just leave it, unless someone noticed and hollared at me. Having our period is normal... we're girls. There's nothing to be embarassed about. it's part of life as agirl

Act as if nothing has happened. People will only be emabarrassed for you if you act embarrassed yourself. Probably easier in theory though
