I"m happy to see this thread going strong.
As I have been on the road for 6 weeks now ( and still a long way to go).
Regarding dealing with my periods:
I decided against using depo injections or any form of hormones as it make me go psycho (really!). My cycle is fairly regular now. I don{t use tampons (more probs with that) but anything you need is widely available is Colombia, Ecuador and I would think all around south america. Anywhere hostals will have bathroom so no issue there. Changing during the day can be tricky but always managed to stop on the road and find a discreet spot or toilet.
Panty liners in between periods are life savers and save in laundry. Widely available here as well.
using riding tights on top of my M&S panties works fine regarding bum pain. I also have those M&S invisible (no seam ) knickers, they work fine.
I shower every day for the time being but this may change when we hit Bolivia. I will make sure to carry a pack of baby wipes. They are the best stuff when travelling. We also carry a bottle of liquid soap taht does not need rinsing. Will come handy also in Bolivia when crossing Uyuni and going to San PEdro de Atacama. Could take a couple of weeks if I am slow. And I am afraid I am crap at off roading!
