Mountaineer Yogeshwari Bohare's creative solution to a period-related problem while on a 16,000-foot expedition has brought attention to the often-overlooked issue of menstrual hygiene in the outdoors. Bohare, who was on a multi-day climb, found herself without sanitary pads and no other women around to ask for help. Using tissue paper and medical tape, she created a makeshift pad, which she documented in a video shared on Instagram. The video has sparked a conversation about the need for menstrual hygiene planning in expedition safety protocols. Climbers often prepare for changing weather, difficult terrain, and altitude-related illness, but menstruation is not always considered in expedition planning. Bohare's experience highlights the importance of considering menstrual hygiene needs, including access to clean water, privacy, and waste-disposal arrangements. The Indian Mountaineering Foundation's safety guidelines do not explicitly mention sanitary pads or menstrual products as mandatory supplies, but Bohare's story suggests that this is an area that needs attention. By sharing her experience, Bohare has brought attention to a crucial aspect of women's health in remote environments and sparked a conversation about the need for better planning and preparation.
