Although I have had no experience I have had my period almost come on a trip. My first tip (if getting a menstrual cup is not an option) is to bring a ziploc bag full of cat litter or paper towels and when you are done using your disposable products put them in the bag. I typically have a backpack with that I usually put the ziplock bag in along with my products. My second tip is getting a menstrual cup. All you have to do is wash it or wipe it with something after reinserting it after about 12 hours (as menstrual cups can be kept in for up to 12 hours). My personal favorites are the Lily Cup and the Lily Cup Compact (these can be purchased pretty much anywhere. Anyways... Good luck and have fun!
