"If you don't have the opportunity to get a pad, here's what you're gonna do in the meantime, OK? You're gonna take your hand, and you're gonna wrap some toilet paper around your hand, and you're gonna make a little pillow. This is gonna fit right in the crotch of your underwear. You're gonna hold it in place. You can do this until you get yourself a real pad."
"If there's blood on the inside of my underwear, I'm gonna take some toilet paper, and I'm just gonna kind of wipe it out [and] throw the toilet paper in the toilet."
When menstrual products are not accessible, toilet paper provides a practical temporary solution. The method involves wrapping toilet paper around the hand to create a cushioned pad that fits into underwear and absorbs menstrual blood. This makeshift pad can be held in place and used until a proper menstrual pad becomes available. For minor bleeding, simply wiping with toilet paper and disposing of it in the toilet offers immediate relief. These techniques provide accessible alternatives for managing menstruation in situations where commercial products are unavailable.
