If you have a shelf or cupboard or drawer in your toilet at home, keep some there. I also keep a small roll of opaque dog crap bags in there (covers disposables and also stops a cup messing up your bag if you need to swap out)

    Will do! What would be a discrete and good way to help other gals in this? I don't really wear bags that much, maybe in my (yes, my trousers thankfully got proper ones) pockets?

    I assume people mostly ask for them in a bathroom? Or does it also get asked elsewhere?

    (Also, wdym with a cup messing up your bag and swapping out? I assume you mean the menstrual cups?)

    okies, talking personal bathroom / toilet here, so you have a bag for disposal (not necessary in public bathrooms) and by cup I mean menstrual cup.

    Women caught out generally won't ask for supplies unless they know you - the scenario is usually period came earlier than expected / unexpected bleedthrough / brain fart on being prepared so we're talking usually about a mess and it's a moment that's kinda shame charged by society to begin with. Don't feel pressured to cart about supplies just in case, but a little thought in a private area like your personal bathroom is always appreciated.

    Sometimes a menstrual cup - or even a tampon - just will. not. sit. right. no matter how experienced you are with using them. So you go fuckit and swap it out for another product. Generally you want to rinse and UV sterilise / boil the cup but it's bit hard to do if you just nipped into a mate's bathroom. So a bag means you can rinse it, shake it off, stuff it in there, slip it into your handbag / pocket / whatever and deal with proper cleaning when you get home.

    One more question - what kind of pads would be best? Should I go for medium or heavy bleed ones just to be safe?
