A lot of us have them, they can be really inconvenient, and dealing with them in the field is often less straightforward than normal. We discuss pros and cons of the various products on the market, how to deal with that ‘oops’ moment, and suggestions for making your life easier when you’re on your period. The hosts for this episode are Chelsi Slotten and Emily Long. Our guests are Jessica Irwin and Nicloe Bodenstein.
