I keep thinking of all of the young women on her retreats - since they're living completely in the wild for 30 days, what do they do about menstruation? I wish the article mentioned what her primitive solutions are (if any) for some of the more gross inconveniences of being human.

- smabie 7y agoThey could just take birth control.
