Hello there
Cloth works well enough that in extreme survival situation you might forego pads in favour of food or drink.
Pads are relatively light, to the point that if you’re not in a time crunch, they’d probably be worth grabbing
I can’t speak for all women but I think I’d try to have enough of both food and pads/tampons if I could. Pads are much more efficient at absorbing than a bundle of cloth and are cleaner, so wouldn’t cause thrush and other infections
Pads and tampons are also good first aid supplies - I think tampons were first invented to plug bullet holes
I think tampons are older invention than bullets. I know tampons have been used for battlefield wounds, but I don’t think that’s their original intended use.
Tampons are not good for wound packing, thats a myth.
yeah, using tampons for bullet wounds is like putting a spout in the hole
Yeah, probably an old wives tale, I guess
