Five things (most) women should pack when traveling to a foreign country {Gadling}

Aug 6th 2011 8:12PM Re: tampons, why not just opt for some brand of menstrual cup (one commenter mentioned the Diva). Forget about the disposables altogether and go for a lower or no-waste alternative. With a reusable cup, you only bring the cup and maybe a few liners. No packaging, pads, or used tampons to dispose of, which can be a problem in developing nations, or older cities with fragile plumbing, or in the backcountry. Give it a few months to get used to, then off you go, traveling lighter and no searching at your destination. Bon Voyage.
