Just how would we manage?
Certainly food for thought!
All around naked for five days. 😬
Find a shell and place it on panties.
Take constant showers in the water for five days.
Find a type of plant/tree to use as a barrier between panty and your
Make a small skirt out of nature and wear it without panties for five days...
Ere are probably a dozen ways more you can think of if you were actually in the situation... Because being physically there you can get ideas from what surrounds you. . ... But it's highly unlikely for people to be stranded on deserted islands.
I'd just tear a piece of my clothes and use it and sit somewhere where there's water available to wash and never move from there until all the misery ends.
I just read that women in ancient Egypt used softened papyrus which is cool i might make something similar
www.lib.umich.edu/.../how-ancient-papyrus-was-made
Is that not where the awful saying "on the rag" came from?
No that saying came later when women started using layers of washable cloths in their underwear
I would hope there would be some trees so I could take some "leaves" to catch the flow. Hopefully find a river to wash up. Not the ocean though because the blood would most likely attract sharks. And I would hope to God there weren't piranhas in the "river". This is a hard one 🤔
Um. This reminds me. Just earlier today I was going through my old backpack that I used to take fishing in the mountains. I found an old roll of toilet paper in my backpack. I got tired of using leaves, so I started carrying toilet paper when I was out hiking in the woods. The key word there is leaves. Yea, they don't work too well for toilet paper either, but there aren't a whole lot of choices out in the wilderness. Just make sure it's not poison ivy.
I'll bare that it mind! lol :)
Which part? About the leaves or the poison ivy? :P
And if you find something better than leaves, let me know. Tree bark might work. Sliced in thin slices. That would probably be more absorbent than leaves. Now you really got me wondering.
The poison ivy of course! .. So it's not such a stupid question as I first thought.. I very nearly didn't put it on here to be honest.
@Red_Arrow.. As always thank you so very much indeed for your excellent words of wisdom.

You telling me that this is a bad idea. :D
@Red_Arrow.. I know you are, please don't worry.
Well, women got along well enough long before companies like Kotex and Tampax came along, even back into the stone age. Disposable diapers and sanitary pads are relatively new in the history of the world. Find some kind of plant to use as material, or tear up something your wear, and create your own devices for that. And just wash them as was o often done before the mo recent period in history. And that was not a pun)

One would think they would sterilize cloth or leaves in hot water other wise you'd get infected with lord knows what kind of bacteria and probably get sick and possibly die. You gotta remember, the plants and stuff are not going to be sterile and carry bacteria.
No offense but couldn't y'all just let the "blood" drip out? Since it ain't like ya need to be sanitary or that they earth wouldn't absorb it, right? I don't see the point in wasting mats over something natural LOL
Somehow I really don't like the idea of feeling blood running down my legs.. But I guess on a needs must basis, it is an option.
😂😂😂 I never thought about it in that way. But I'm guessing that y'all would get used to the "warm sensation" running down yall's legs in not too long anyway, right? And since it's not fatal wouldn't the best thing to do is go searching for a way off the island or for food instead of worrying about it? ^_^
Hmmm.. Wise words from a Wise Old Man! .. Thank You. :)
Hey im only 99, some GAGers are like 110 I think LOL
It'd be just you... I guess you'd go around bleeding everywhere until you figured it out...
Dig out a sea sponge... let it dry and attach it to your... neater regions. xD
Haha oh my goodness... time to do research on the properties of banana or coco leaves :D
At least there will be no guys around to make you nervous...
Off you go then! lol.. And please don't forget to let us girls know what results you come up with, will you. :)
Hmm. With such a lack of food your body might not even function properly to go through a period. You'll be too busy starving to have healthy hormone levels.
Stand in the water, then run out and use the blood to draw in sharks that you can harpoon and use for a valuable food source.
damn... nice question... i guess i'd tear my clothes and use them as pads... I don't know :/
And so glad it's caught you out as well @zombiebabe.. To be honest I was in two frames of mind whether it was too stupid a question to put on here.
*Am*
lol its a nice question
The real question is how do you cope with your period while trying to out run the cranks?
I think you've forgotten that the island is deserted.. At least that is one less worry!! :)
I was actually thinking maze runner
id use some of my clothes, or palm leaves and wash in the water.
I rather think this is what I would attempt doing.. It does seem to be the sensible opinion of most of the girls here.
it's good to know the girls have a solution hehe :)
good question!
@justbanANNAz.. Hmmm.. I thought we girls ALWAYS have the right solution! :)
oh yes, yes we do ;P
Id you live in the jungles, you'll find something. Nature has everything a man needs to survive. Plenty of food, shelter, medicine..
Using a piece of cloth or just nothing and washing frequently as it's a deserted island and no one sees you.
I guess that's certainly a possibility.
Everyone is saying leaves or tear clothes. Just get moss and ring out the water, its absorbant, and grows almost everywhere in the world, plus you get drinking water
I think it'd be pretty easy. It might not be comfortable but you can make a pad out of a lot of things
Such as?
Thank you so much for your suggestions. :)
Same as homeless women and before there were hygiene products you cope
Haha. Funny ques. R u on one such trip? Kidding.
We cud use leaves or maybe keep on going in d water to keep us clean.
Well am not planning going on one too soon!! .. But I will let you know if I do and then perhaps you would care to join me!! lol
That's the good thing about not being stranded on a deserted island.
This is indeed very true @KatherineJ.. And hopefully neither you, I or any other woman will ever find ourselves in such a predicament.
Yes ma'am! I agree completely! :)
I've wondered how that stuff works back in the stone age you know?
Hmmm.. I hadn't thought of that.. Now that has got me thinking!! .. Well what else is there to do on such a cold wet day that we here are having! :)
Sit in the ocean all day. Or stay nearby the ocean and whenever I bleed I would rinse myself off.
beware of sharks!! sharks like blood
@zombiebabe - lol. Be sure you sit in VERY shallow water!
I would use a ear lamb plant it's soft
how did they do it in the prehistoric times?
you could say that about everything tho.
how did they deal with their wisdom teeth?
how did they wipe their ass?
OMG.. What have I started here? lol
haha :D
Smh !
