What to do when the unexpected “red light” arrives and there are no sanitary pads available?

As a female, surely each one of us has encountered this frustrating situation before.

Let’s admit it, how many times have you been in this situation since “Aunt Moon” knocked on your door for the first time? So what is your solution? Run to the convenience store to buy a pack right away? Wait a minute, how far is that store from you? You might end up having to buy new pants.
So what should you do? Oh, ask your friends, they always have it. If you’re lucky, as soon as you ask for help from the first person, you will get the “holy bandage” and you will feel amazing, as if you just got a brand new LV bag for only 500,000 VND.
But certainly, there have been times when you felt like the whole world turned its back on you when you asked everyone from this sister to that sister and received countless shakes of the head and 1001 reasons: “I don’t have it”, “I’m breastfeeding so I haven’t had a visit from the traffic light yet”, “I changed my bag this morning and left it at home”. The end of the world, isn’t it?

I have also been in this situation “a million times” and determined to find a way to save myself. And then I found this method, you should try it and see how “amazing” it is.

If you’re in the restroom and you discover that “Aunt Moon is knocking” but there are no other girls around to ask for help, just grab a roll of toilet paper, it will be your salvation. How? Place the paper where you usually put sanitary pad and wrap it several times horizontally, wrapping back and forth, wrapping and unwrapping, but remember to secure it with knots under your underwear, to avoid any paper ruffling. Repeat this several times, and you will have a temporary sanitary pad, enough to “buy time” and drive to the nearest store to buy the real thing. This method may be a bit paper-consuming and resource-wasting, but don’t worry, no one will blame you.

If you still don’t trust these thin and fragile toilet paper sheets, you can use another method. Check for disposable items around you that have absorbent properties, such as cotton pads, medical cotton… they will be the “temporary sanitary pad core” for you. If not, a handkerchief or a pair of clean socks can be a good idea too. Once you have the core, what should you do next? You have to ask for help from the “sanitary paper friend” again, wrap the paper around the core, forming it into the shape of a real sanitary pad. Then gently place them in your underwear where you normally put a sanitary pad, continue wrapping with toilet paper like the first method, and remember to secure it with the knot under the bottom of your underwear. Now you can freely go to buy sanitary pads, ladies!

Both methods above will help you “deal with the emergency” in time for when “Aunt Moon comes uninvited”. But both of these methods seem to consume quite a lot of toilet paper. So ladies, always remember to keep some “bread” in your bag to protect our natural resources.
