I keep thinking of all of the young women on her retreats - since they're living completely in the wild for 30 days, what do they do about menstruation? I wish the article mentioned what her primitive solutions are (if any) for some of the more gross inconveniences of being human.

My guess would be that they wear and wash reusable pads. There are modern versions of these, too! Thinx is the big name brand.

Either that or they don’t use anything. Not to get too personal, but it’s not always necessary to use something aside from regular undergarments.

I read menstruation cups are encouraged in poor countries where women can't afford disposable pads, maybe that?

One traditional solution is cattail fluff.

They could just take birth control.
