We cannot talk about female personal hygiene without talking about menstruation. It is going to be an issue when the SHTF. So what things can you store for these situations? 

  • Pads
  • Tampons
  • Menstrual Cups
  • Natural Sponges

If you are going to store and depend on things that you are going to run out of, be sure you stock up a lot. These items need to be part of your prepping plans for the long term. Buy a little each time you go to the supermarket.
