Feminine Hygiene

Feminine hygiene products should be an essential part of your emergency kit. Lack of such products during a lockdown can cause more stress to an already stressful situation for girls and women on their period. People usually forget to include feminine products in their emergency kits. During emergencies, women and girls may not have access to these products. This leads to the use of clothes or used products, which are unsanitary and may cause extreme health problems.

In the event of a low supply of sanitary pads or tampons, women are forced to reuse these products or keep them for a longer period beyond the recommended time. Prolonged usage of feminine products may lead to urinary tract infections and, in extreme cases, toxic shock syndrome. It’s also embarrassing for women and girls to have to go through this time without a proper supply of tampons and pads. The whole experience can take a toll on their mental health. During hurricanes, many people had reported how distressing the experience was when they menstruated without enough supply of feminine hygienic products, especially with young girls who had their first menstrual cycles during such an emergency.

Female menstrual hygienic needs have to be well addressed during disaster conditions. Most emergency kits and supplies do not contain feminine products, but this can easily be changed. There should be a menstrual hygiene management plan in every emergency kit, including a proper supply of tampons and sanitary pads. You can buy these products in bulk from major suppliers to avoid high costs since these products don’t spoil. Bathroom facilities should include proper trash bins to dispose of used products safely, and clean water must be available to wash dirty clothing and reusable items.
