Why WanderPack?

The Problem:

There seems to be gear for pretty much every scenario in the backcountry. Yet, one key problem is missing a solution: periods.

Until now, the standard practice for dealing with periods in the woods has been to store all used tampons or pads in a ziploc bag wrapped in duct-tape. For overnight expeditions, that period bag needs to be put in a tree to avoid attracting wild animals to the campsite. Since there’s no easy way to hang a plastic bag, the period bag may be stuffed in the same “bear bag” that contains food and other “smellables”. Multi-day trips mean re-opening the bag with all its bloody contents and adding each newly used product to the collection.

Why wouldn’t you just throw them out? 

Unfortunately, there are no trash cans in the backcountry. And, due to Leave No Trace Principles (which make sure our forests stay healthy and clean) all trash must be packed out until we’re in the frontcountry again (and have access to a trash can).

Why WanderPack:

WanderPack is gear designed specifically for managing periods in the backcountry. No more DIY duct-taped ziploc bags! WanderPack is tailored to address the most hated parts of wild periods. These include:

• Smell

• Privacy

• Sanitation

• Additional storage

The WanderPack Way

We believe people with periods deserve better. Nobody should be stuck DIYing backcountry period solutions with ziploc bags and duct tape! WanderPack gear is made for these wild periods. Our goal is to help you get back to focusing on your outdoor adventures, and fight some period stigma while we’re at it.
