      When you have literally nothing else, you use what you have on hand. If there’s a woman around, chances are they might have an emergency pad tucked away somewhere.

      Heck back when I was trying to be someone else, I carried a couple pads and tampons in my messenger bag in case a friend needed one. (still do, they’re just in a purse)
