You all already know that I’ve dubbed this the summer of travel, packed up the kids and headed to the beach. We’ve living a simple yet amazing life filled with days on the beach and nights beneath the stars. Unlike some of the summers of my past, this summer I’ve been outside with the kids pretty much every minute that I can. We’ve been riding bikes, walking on the beach, crabbing, playing, fishing and more. To put things quite simply, we’re always on the go. This change of pace has been amazing and led to a worry-free summer in so many ways. However, when it’s that time of the month, I worry more than I ever have in the past since we’re gone for hours, in and out of the water and rarely close to the house or a restroom. This level of activity has caused me to rethink my summer period protection. It’s caused me to change the way I look at how I stock up for that time of the month and get creative so that I can enjoy an active summer lifestyle without worry that my period is going to ruin my vacation (or any of my summer activities, for that matter)!
At the beginning of the summer I decided that nothing was going to slow me down this year. I’ve spent the last few months getting back in shape so that I can keep up with the kids and go on every adventure they come up with. My goal for the summer was to stay on the go….to ride bikes at sunset, take long walks on the beach, jump in the pool with the kids, build sandcastles and more. I wanted to live the active summer life I did when I was younger without anything getting in my way. However, I’ve always struggled with being confident in my period protection, especially during the warm summer months when vacation activities are in full swing, our bathing suits are our uniform of choice and we’re on the go for longer periods of time than normal. That’s why this summer I decided to get smart, head to Walmart, find the BEST products for my specific needs and stock up on Always and Tampax products. Here’s what you need to know to keep your period from ruining your summer vacation (or any other summer activities you have planned)!
Be Prepared With Products You Can Trust
I’ve always know that being prepared for my monthly cycle is important. When I’m on vacation and enjoying my time at the beach, it’s even more important. I’ve already mentioned that we’re on a small island this summer so for me, stocking up on Always and Tampax products at Walmart just makes sense. Just as I ensure I’ve got my bathing suit, sunnies and tennis shoes, I also make sure I have plenty of Always and Tampax products on hand to give me the confidence I need to stay active and enjoy my vacation.
With the MyFit chart for Always products from Walmart, it’s easy to find the right sized pad for my unique monthly cycle by simple choosing my underwear size and menstrual flow combination. There’s no guesswork about what will actually work and instead and I can feel confident that when a pad is my choice, I’ve got the incredible comfort and protection of Always that ensure no matter what I’m wearing or how active I’m being, I don’t have to worry about leaks!
While pads are perfect for a some of my summer activities, when I’m on the beach or in my bathing suit, I love the confidence that Tampax tampons from Walmart give me. I personally love the Tampax Radient line that offers me up to 8 hours of protection so I can do the things I enjoy and stay active all day long while knowing that I don’t need to worry about my period.
By having both of these products on hand for my summer vacations, I can do more, enjoy more, live more stay on-the-go more without worrying about my period slowing me down.
Don’t Be Afraid to Get Active
As I mentioned earlier, life never slows down when your on vacation and since I’m living the vacay life this summer, I love having confidence in my period protection. Trust me when I say that I have done just about every activity there is to do at the beach this summer. I’ve ridden bikes, walked on the beach, swam in the pool, jogged, played and moved. However, I’ve never once worried that my period protection wouldn’t stand up to my active lifestyle because I know that with Tampax and Always products from Walmart, I’ve got everything I need to live confidently, even when it’s that time of the month.
Now that I’m not running back to the house to check for a leak or leaving the pool early because I don’t want to have an accident, I’m discovering that life really shouldn’t be any different when I have my period. In fact, nothing about the way I live should change when I’ve got protection I can trust!

I was just relieved when my daughter’s did not fall on vacation this year. She doesn’t handle it well. Good tips for dealing with the inevitable times when vacay and that happen together.
I will be sharing this post with my stepdaughter who travels a lot as I know she has had this problem in the past.
I always have these on hand just in case. I will never let my period prevent me from having fun with my family.

“Don’t be afraid to get active” is a great tip! This is something that is tough at times, but it actually helps with cramps and your mental well-being too! Also a side note, your photos are amazing! Love the creativity with this post!
I don’t have a period anymore, but when I did, I remember a couple times where I let it get in the way mainly because I didn’t try tampons. Glad I tried and never looked back.
This is a great post! I always tell my daughters to be prepared and never be afraid to still enjoy themselves. I had to help them learn periods weren’t the worst thing in the world.
These are some great tips! I remember in my teens always been really worried about my period starting while I was away. These days I use a pill which stops mine completely so I don’t have to worry about them at all which is great.

No one needs to have this happen to them. Few things can really ruin a vacation as quickly as this.
I really love the awareness this post brings up. It reminds us that this can happen to anyone, so be courteous and understanding. Great info!
It’s really important to prepare for that period when you’re going on vacation. It’s always nice to have reliable products with you! Love that you use always and tampax.
These are all essentials when dealing with your cycle. It’s the worst when it starts during a vacation.
Your period just wants to experience the FABULOUS TIME you’re going to have on the vacation too, I mean, can you blame her? LOL!! 😉
Yes! A product that understands that women don’t want to stay at home and miss the fun!
I have never used tampax. My period is very inconsiderate, it always ruins big events lol. I think it’s the excitement that makes me have it early.
Great tips! With five daughters it’s really important to be well-stocked at all times. Always and Tampax are our staples!
These are great tips and information. I’m on a hunt for ways the girls can manage to sit in school all day without the embarrassing leakage that has happened in the past. I’m going to check out these products for them. They will be a big help for our winter vaca coming up too.
I grew up using Always products for my monthly needs. Things have changed over the years, and I tend to go with an organic brand now. However, these are all great tips to keep that time of the month from ruining vacation.
I absolutely hate getting a period during vacation but what can we do! I think it’s really nice to be prepared with products that you can rely on. Thankfully we have all these options!
