What do women do in the woods?

“Well, ladies it must suck to have to crap in the woods or when it's that time of the month?

So, how do you handle this?”

“Isn't this better than bashing each other?”

“a girls got to doo doo
what a girls got to doo doo”

“hey. Here is actually a serious question.

Ihave heard, that if you are on the Pill . . .you can simply keep taking it (e.g. start next months prescription instead of taking the week of placebos) to hold off menstruation if, say, you are going to be in the woods for a week.

Is this true?”

“no difference bblinkly, we still are talking about sh1t”

“eeeeekk! i'm surprised i've never seen this subject brought up before. i bet it has been, though...

well, let's see...there are several options. don't go when you're having IT. go, and pack out your "essentials." or, if you're on the pill, you can just keep taking it, and never get your Friend that month.

personally, it's never happened that i've had a trip scheduled for an Inopportune Time.

and i'm sure that's more than anyone ever wanted to know, LOL!”

“lee, that's true. My sister always does it when we are going on vacation together...works like a charm.”

“my friend Anna, who is a park ranger, was told by her Ob-Gyn that she could use two tampons at the same time if she knew she was going to be in the woods overnight, and didn't want to have to think about changing them. that sounds absolutely revolting!! and like asking for TSS. i don't ever use those evil things. again, i know, TMI. :-)”

“more importantly bbinkley, why on earth would you want to know?”

“This is like a Bad Flashback... OB/GYNs talking shop at the dinner table!”

“some female sent me an email about my threads that iwas posting and said "if you think crapping in the woods is bad you should think about the women who have to do certain business around that time of the month thing"......

so i thought i would start a thread about it.”

“your parents...right, Tilt? LOLOL!! yummers.”

“Mother, brother-in-law and a med student who was staying with us. When they started yucking it up over dinner... Look Out!”

“Lyra, there is no way that your friend's Ob-Gyn seriously said that! Awful!

Lee, another option is to use the birth control shot. You have no period as long as you get the shots, which are effective for 3 months at a time.”

“My ex-wife did the same on the trail as she did at home.
You aren't married are you?”

“s/he really did, newgirl! (i don't remember, but i must've been a man, hehe.) side-by-side was the idea. i can really see THAT happening!”

“two tampons? that's....an interesting concept.

i did know a girl in college who came home one morning unable to "find" her tampon. i never asked if she ever located it.”

“you what? LOL”

“bbinkley, it's time to plan your next hike and start buying up food.”

“Required reading for woN«¢³planning to enter areas where bears live!”

“no I'm not married stove stomper


geobeet,,,why did you say that?”

“Hmmm. That's weird. Should be "women."”

“Side-by-side? What in Gawd's name? Bizzare!

Smiley, did she get sick after that? Toxic Shock? Tampons are kinda' like death and disease waiting to happen.”

“no, she didn't get sick. but like i said, i never asked. she was returning from an evening out, shall we say?”

“i know, right?? heck, why not the whole box...wheeee!
8)

i've known people to whom that's happened, as well, smiley girl. i've even heard of people forgetting about them!! until the terrible pains set in. nasteeeee.

and i do agree, newgirl. have you ever heard of any reasonable person clogging up a poor, defenseless orifice for hours and and hours at a time? i think not.”

“they don't all go to the powder room together.”

“This kinda reminds me of the time I lost my flashlight.”

“LMAO aero! I won't ask where you found it!”

“Lyra! You are so freakin' funny!

Pathman, I usually go to the "powder room" together w/ other women in the woods. I'd rather have a look out, while it's hangin' out. I mean, seriously, what if you got pounced on by a gigantic cougar while pissing. That would suck. (I didn't have communal peeing on the MTpalooza though. I felt a little weird asking one of the ladies if they wanted to pee-pee w/ me. LOL!)”

“ng- especially when you wre hiking with Crazy Mike and Me!!!”

“Yeah, Aero. I didn't really consider asking you or Crazy Mike to accompany me either. Pissing w/ the men just isn't as fun! LOL!”

“"a look out, while it's hangin' out"...HA!! :-)”

“It's a legitmate concern Lyra.”

“No, but I remember we had to hike up ahead real fast and then stand gaurd up trail! :)”

“Funny, I don't worry so much about cougars and the like, as much as I worry about someone watching me pee! Freaks me out!”

“I mean, seriously, what if you got pounced on by a gigantic cougar while pissing.

I don't think it would matter to you or the cougar.”

“That's true Aero! I totally forgot about that!

Smiley, I couldn't care less if someone sees my peeing (unless, of course, it would be inappropriate). Being percieved as dinner while I'm peeing is my fear! And it's legitmate! LOL!”

“bbink, joshing you man. This is all more than I wanted to know about women in the woods, LOL.”

“Pathman, I would care. At my moment of death I would take time to consider the fact that I'm going to be found half mangled and eaten w/ my freakin' panties around my ankles. LOL! And the cougar better care, 'cause if I have to piss I ain't stop for a simple attack. He's going to get whizzed on for sure!”

“bblinkley - I figured you weren't married. Once you are married, you learn EVERTHING about women's plumbing. Even if you don't want to know. Stuff they would never let a boyfriend or live-in know about.”

“OMG - This thread is crackin' me up!”

“I think I opened up a can of worms here. I could of gone my whole life wothout knowing some of this stuff.”

“Sometimes you get what you ask for!”

“Pathman, I think the cougar would mind getting pee on”

“time to feed the bears”

“I have to ask. So could you hike in bear country around that time?”

“Bbinkley, Martyb has a link about it up there.”

“yeah, but did you read that? there's no real evidence that women are more "attractive" to bears at that time.”

“No, I didn't actually read it Smiley. To tell the truth, I kinda' ignored it, 'cause I thought it was prolly baloney.”

“cougar's probably use the smell of your urine to track you.”
