Male preppers have been hostile to this message - stock feminine hygiene preps
If you haven't already, please make sure you have pads, tampons, wipes and baby and adult diapers (especially if someone you know is pregnant or elderly.)
ð If a woman gives birth at home, she's going to need those giant pads as she recovers.
ð If you have a young daughter, she may start her period early due to stress or just because it's time.
ð If you have an elderly family member, they might lose the ability to hold their bowels.
ð If you or your family need or use period products, stock up on those and hand sanitizer.
You don't want to put in a tampon or period cup with dirty hands.
ð ð If you use a period cup, you need to be able to at minimum rinse it. Access to water for cleaning is not always a guarantee in emergency situations.
Period products consist of petroleum and paper "ingredients" which just got slapped with massive tariffs.
I promise you that in my experience many, many, male peppers are outright hostile to being told to make sure that they have stocked period and incontinence products for women, girls and the elderly. Apparently that's women's work. ð
They're not going to have those in their preps, so unfortunately, that is going to fall on all of us X preppers to monitor. Please make sure you have a year's supply.
