Ladies - tips needed on how to disguise tampons/sanitary pads in a clear plastic bag.

Does everyone need to know I'm on the blob :rolleyes: , surely we are allowed some element of dignity during all this security.

Any tips, any brands that are not 'obvious'??

I'd say carry them with pride. You won't be the only one with such objects in your bag. Or confuse them and take a mooncup

i would put them inside a purse.

I did think about the mooncup !! Never used one yet.

Thanks rjh090384 - good plan, put them with my money and credit cards.

Personally ,I agree with wigginsmum.
They are nothing to be ashamed of .
Everyone know women use them anyway .

My friend is travelling tomorrow and ,is openly showing off her maternity pads and breast pads .

If however you do want to "hide them" A lipstick case or ,purse might be ok .

You should not hide them. Thats why you have a clear plastic bag! so they can see what you have in it. I would ask at the airport what you can if you feel embarassed.

When I travelled back from Brazil on Thursday just after the plastic bags were introduced I was told I could not take any tampax with me!!! I had an argument with the check in lady (who spoke little english) and eventually was allowed 1!
By the way on many airplanes you'll find that if you have a look in the toilet there are sometimes small pull out drawers under the mirror area that contain sanitary supplies for emergencies.
Also ask the cabin crew (a lady preferably!) - they usually have secret stock for those embarassing occasions.

Flipping undignified if you ask me though!

Travelling in a couple of weeks and likely to be in this position as well - just fantastic! Whilst some brands are fairly discrete eg always ultra - but still really obvious what they are.
