Long flights can be tiring and uncomfortable and if it’s long flights with periods, it can feel even more challenging. Ultra-small toilets with no space to move around, long queues for the toilet, unpredictable flow add to the discomfort. In this article we will cover the common challenges of air travel during your period and tips to deal with it.

Small Toilets

The most comfortable place on earth during your period—especially on heavy-flow days—is your own bathroom at home. When everything is mapped out—where to store supplies, how to dispose of used pads or tampons, and how to handle stained panties—it’s all set. So how does one manage while on long flights with periods? Well, it helps to be prepared. Carry a small, discreet, waterproof pouch to hold your period supplies—like extra pads or tampons and a spare set of period panties. Being prepared with this pouch can make it much easier to change your pad mid-flight. You can even wear a fresh pair of period panties and bring back the soiled ones in the waterproof pouch.

*Please remember never to flush pads or tampons. Wrap them in toilet paper and dispose of them in the bin.

Fear Of Leaving Stains On The Seat

Well, this is a fear that most women who travel on long flights with periods have. What if I leave a stain behind on the seat? What if I have a stain behind when I leave? Stress no more—Adira Period Panties are made from soft, breathable cotton, they offer leakproof protection and peace of mind. So, when your pads get full and you are not able to dash to the loo, these panties are true saviors. You can buy them here.

The Flow Is Unpredictable

It’s a known fact that the pressure difference in the cabin causes unpredictable period flows. While a few women say that the flow is high mid-air, a few complain that the landing causes a huge gush. Either way, it’s best to be prepared with pads and period panties can offer added comfort and confidence, whatever the flow.
