Gentlemen,
If the subject line offends your delicate sensibilities, why, oh why would you come inside and read, thereby offending your sensibilities even more?

This subject doesn't even affect me but I have a daughter in law and a granddaughter. I was researching for them and thought other women and fathers of daughters would appreciate this info too.

Thanks everyone else for contributing to the quality of this thread.

What a great point! (original post)

All too often, it's us guys who are preparing for this kind of thing...often with little input from the woman/women in our lives. It's an important consideration for their quality of life (and by extension...ours).

disgusting.....worst post ever. The small amount of puke that just came up in my mouth is even more pleasant. I think this is an irrelavant topic and should be ONLY disgussed between women along with their other conspiracies against men.No man, anywhere, is mature enough to discuss this "punishment from GOD", there are a few men whipped enough though. No star, No flag....this is a topic best NOT discussed. I'm pretty sure one would know what to do when the time came. Just gross!

Okay here's a home remedy from a funky old red skin...
"Both the wife and daughter use this method"

How to cure yeast infections with "Apple Cider Vinegar"

Douche with 2 tablespoons of ACV and 1-1 1/2 cups water might sting at first... I would do this twice a day for a week to be sure.
2 tbsps of ACV with water once a day.
ACV on cotton balls applied directly to rash whenever irritated(it stings a minute but it is WORTH IT just gradually start with the bikini line and see what you can handle, especially inside the leg area)
I also after making sure CLEAN AND DRY down there applied desitin to keep it dry (desitin or other type of zinc oxide... seals out moisture)

well there you go, if your really burning sitting on ice packs helps too ya know...

edit to add if you have any hard cider on hand a few sips make you forget the itch

Thanks for the post. In all the things I've read about survival after a catastrophe, this is one of the most overlooked subjects. Usually it is addressed as: be sure to keep plent of feminine napkins and hygene products stockpiled.

Thanks!

I hope this moves quickly to below top secret since it is a little nauseating to discuss in an open forum for conspiracies. Maybe it's just me. I apologize to the ladies I might offend. Not intentional but I have always been very uncomfortable talking about Flo.

I Hope it should stay on ATS. As uncomfortable it may seem - I have a daughter, and when SHTF, I must consider her and my wife's well being for survival

I agree with you. I'm married, and this is a topic that's important to discuss. People love to think about the explorative, and adventurous aspect of survival in a post apocalyptic world, but these people seldom see the world in a realistic way. One has to stop and think about everything that will be gone, or extremely hard to find within the first few months; feminine hygiene products or hygiene products all together being major ones. Food, weapons, and clothing will be others. Then there's the medication factor, and the dangers that go along with people who are dependent on medication to maintain a level of sanity. What happens when they can't get their daily doses. Diabetics are another group who are going to be in a world of hurt, as are the handicapped, or sick.
It'll be tough times. No one can ever claim that they're "ready". You can only be "bracing".
