The serious answer to your question is yes. If you want to know about it for real contact an agent of the Dept. of Natural Resources in the state where you camp. Ask a female agent if you are more comfortable. Menses has been cited as the reason behind a number of bear attacks.

Who could you trust more than Yellowstone National Park?
Although there is NO evidence that grizzly and black bears are overly attracted to menstrual odors more than any other odor, certain precautions should be taken to reduce the risks of attack.
The following precautions are recommended:
1. Use pre-moistened, unscented cleaning towelettes.
2. Use internal tampons instead of external pads.
3. Do not bury tampons or pads (pack it in - pack it out). A bear may smell buried tampons or pads and dig them up. By providing bears a small food "reward", this action may attract bears to other menstruating women.
4. Place all used tampons, pads, and towelettes in double zip-loc baggies and store them unavailable to bears, just as you would store food. This means hung at least 10 feet above the ground and 4 feet from the tree trunk.
5. Tampons can be burned in a campfire, but remember that it takes a very hot fire and considerable time to completely burn them. Any charred remains must be removed from the fire pit and stored with your other garbage. Also, burning of any garbage is odorous and may attract bears to your campsite.
6. Many feminine products are heavily scented. Use only unscented or lightly scented items. Cosmetics, perfumes, and deodorants are unnecessary and may act as an attractant to bears.
7. Follow food storage regulations and recommendations so you can avoid attracting a bear into your camp with other odors. All odorous items that may attract bears, including food, cooking and food storage gear, toiletries, and garbage, must be kept secured from bears.

Studies have shown that black bears (the ones you would most likely have to worry about if you're camping in America) exhibit no interest when presented with tampons saturated in menstrual blood.* Furthermore, records of women who have been attacked by black and grizzly bears have not indicated any correlation between time of attack and menstruation status.** However, minimizing odors while camping in bear country is always good practice. Use unscented tampons and treat used ones as you would food-related trash. Here's a good article to check out:

Don't turn down an opportunity to go camping because of your period!

Men aren’t “supposed” to seek out advice on how to get women or ask their friends how do I get a girl. We don’t sit around analyzing each other’s relationships. Still, picking up beautiful women is a skill that anyone can learn with enough time, practice, and access to the right resources. Read here https://tr.im/55pzy
There is a ton of stuff ( to help you get started. Sometimes the techniques go against “conventional wisdom” or what seems to work in movies and romance novels. Push yourself out of your comfort zone and try them – they DO work and they are a huge advantage over the competition.

Good question...I think they are more into other female bears though.
I have wondered about this regarding swimming in the ocean and sharks....
