Ive used pant liners for ages when on the bike, even though i dont do extreme adventures.... 'cos after 2 kids and a lack of pelvic floor excersizes... when i've got to go.. ive got to go...
My mate Tiff uses a menstrual sponge when she travels, and finds it really easy to use... she also used a sanitary towel to hold her battery together on the way to Timbuctu a while ago
As a midwife.. i wouild not recommend monkeying about with your hormones unless you've spoken to your GP, as this can cause long term problems with your 'womanhood', as suggested earlier on in this thread, there are alternative and more natural ways of regulating your cycle
Had a poll on my website last year which put the Level 4 Shock Absrober Bra top of the riding list and Sloggi Maxi or Tai knickers were most 'chafe' proof
I go everywhere in mine now ... apart from HU last weekend, because i packed the wrong pile of clothes  travel dri provided me with spare socks but spent all weekend in lacy stuff
Just about to embark on a 500mile a day ride lasting 7 days..
i imagine by the end of it, i'll be 'going' anywhere and everywhere
good luck to all you wanderlusters... i'm a jealous woman
