Travel Safely: Create your own DIY first aid kit for the road {Gadling}

Jul 8th 2008 5:31PM You know, if you are travelling with a femail person (or not), also make sure to carry some feminine hygene products. (UNSCENTED)Maxi Pada and Tampons are GREAT absorbers... I keep some of both in my car first aid kit. Not just for girl-emergencies, but maxis make good abdominal pads, and in a pinch, a tampon can be used to help controll bleeding of a large puncture wound. (Only on a "clean" (all the way through) wound!)

Inexpensive, multi-purpose, portable= a good travel companion!
