Hi All,
I am walking the Camino for the first time in June. I'll be taking the French Way. I read a few threads about women on their periods while on the Camino, and I found them to be helpful about knowing where to buy products, etc. But my biggest worry is about the privacy of having to change any sanitary products or even relieving ones self while walking the trail. Is there usually enough cover on the side of the trails for a woman to do her business? Are their obvious places to use in the towns while passing through? Please excuse my ignorance on this matter as this will be my first time traveling outside of the US and am unfamiliar with hiking in public areas while menstruating or needing to use the bathroom.
Cheers,
Kali
