this is (obviously) for the ladies... i know this may seem a bit personal, and gross on some levels.. but my husband and i are doing a overland trip throuh africa, camping in the wild will be consisted for 80% of the trip, with having a lion nuzzling your tent at night a HUGE possibility....



should i be seriously thinking about going on the pill just for the duration of the trip????- (i.e, stop any lions... or ANY animal from smelling me???)

good health and high spirits!



I don't think you should have a big problem if your travelling with a group like Dragoman, explore etc. these groups usually have safe ways to dispose of such stuff. Just remember to keep your "personalstuff in a sealed bag and dispose of it when you safely can.



some other things.... I wouldn't go on the pill if your not on the pill already. If you are on the pill depending on the length of your trip just continue taking them without having a break. This is good for short durations say 2months.



If you use tampons make sure you bring enough along for yourself as you will have difficulty buying them in Africa.



and, if your camping, make sure you bring alcohol gel with you (handsanitizer) as there probably won't be alot of water to bath with.

HI



I was away and just spotted your posting..

I know that the "time of the month" can be annoying while travelling, especially when camping!!!!

Did you know that you can have an injection that will stop you for having your periods, ( I think it last for three months) check with your local Doctor, it is really worth it!

I don't know if being on the pill, stop a particular smell, but it might be worth to try. I hope this will be use to you.
