Every since my third period ever, during a week-long service camp, I have constantly been getting my periods when camping. Inclduing weekend long adventure treks!
My body seems to get my periods JUST IN TIME for grand physical exertion in the form of adventure trekking, EVERYTIME!
its gotten to a point where I am far more comfortable on my period than off while camping...just a security thing, I guess.
any one else have such wonderful friends accompany them? how did you manage the grueling task of camp hygiene and the offense of stench when packing out?
(I always used tampons, wrapped in toilet paper, and sealed in a ziplock bag, sealed in tupperware!)
I'm just interested to know, its a fun thing for adventure trekkers to share!

Ever since I was getting a period it would always show up right before ANY vacation we would take, a few that sticks out were we stayed outside of town and went swimming at the hotel and sure enough, it started right before I got into the pool, for our trip to a camp in 7th grade it showed up the day before we left, there's several others but those two were the most pains...i thought I was the only lucky one

I thought I was the only one! I think the sudden change in activity level and change in diet sets it off. I once went on a three-week alpine mounteneering trip and thought I was good to go since my period ended the day before we left. WRONG! Two weeks later my little friend was back! B*tch! I do the plastic bag thing too and it's always worked great.

For the past several years I always end up having my period on Christmas, except the Christmas where I was pregnant. It's terrible.

For the past several years I have been getting my period just in time for my vacation to the beach. (Just make sure that you have enough tampons, etc. and you'll be fine)
