Making a period emergency bag/kit

One of the worst things is getting your period unexpectedly with nothing to help if that's in school or work or even if you are just out at a friend or on a road trip, but no matter where it happens or even if it's expected it is always ideal to have a period kit ready to go that can be in your handbag or backpack.

It is very easy to make this on a budget as well.

what you will need:

Pain killers to take the edge off if needed
Sanitary products (whatever you use, reusable products, tampons, pads, or even a period cup or two.)
Spare pair of underwear
A snack
Sanitary wipes to clean up
Bag for used products (for if you are somewhere you cant dispose of disposable sanitary products or to store used products to take home to clean if it's reusable)
Bag to store everything in so its easy to grab
hand sanitiser for if you get blood on your hands and need to clean up quick

Of course, if you think of anything else that could be useful then add that in as well this is just what I found helpful.

Do you have a period bag that hasn't something else you feel is a must-have? let me know in the comments.

FAQ about Endometriosis

1: How common is Endometriosis? Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 women, but because of the misinformation and misdiagnosis, the actual number is unknown. 2: What is Endometriosis Endometriosis is a condition in which tissue that usually lines the uterus grows outside the uterus. 3: Is Endometriosis a type of cancer? No Endometriosis isn’t a type of cancer, nor can Endometriosis alone kill you. 4: What medications are used to treat Endometriosis?

No. Endometriosis cannot be transferred from one human being to another. The cause of endometriosis is not yet known, but it is not an infectious disease. 6: How is endometriosis diagnos...

The differences between ablation and laparoscopic surgery

Today we will be talking about t he differences between ablation and laparoscopic . Pros and cons of both First let’s look at Endometriosis ablation. ablation Is when they is a procedure that surgically destroys (ablates) the lining of your uterus (endometrium).

Uterus and other pelvic organs remain intact. Minimally invasive, no incisions Often results in improved quality of life for most women Cons Not recommended if you still want to have children Pregnancy after ablation, while rare, carries risk of miscarriage and complications. Bleeding may still occur after ablation, a hysterectomy may be needed in the future. The procedure ca...

The differences between endo, PCOS and Adenomyosis

While I usually only talk about endometriosis here on my blog, I decided that I wanted to spread awareness on two other conditions that you can have as well as endometriosis, and that’s PCOS (polycystic overt syndrome) and Adenomyosis. Before I start, let’s go over what each one is. Google defines endometriosis as A disorder in which tissue that normally lines the uterus grows outside the uterus. With endometriosis, the tissue can be found on the ovaries, fallopian tubes or the intestines. But it can grow anywhere. Google defines adenomyosis as A condition in which endometrial tissue exists within and grows into the uterine wall. Adenomyosis most often occurs late in childbearing years and typically disappears after menopause Google defines PCOS as A hormonal disorder causing enlarged ovaries with small cysts on the outer edges. The cause of polycystic ovary syndrome isn't well understood but may involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors. So now...
