What happens when a woman has her periods?And she was on the battlefield overnight.So how do women soldiers cope with this????Im not saying the character had it,but what if she did?

Then they deal with it. Things can be pretty uncomfortable in a combat zone.

Trust me, a period is the last thing you'd worry about when RPG's are flying over your head. ;)

Women serve in the Israeli army and elsewhere, as stated already, I'm sure they deal with it.

Umm, they use tampons/pads like anybody else. Just because your in a combat zone doesn't mean your devoid of the most basic necesities.

Actually, this is the same as what happened if you want to *beep* in the middle of combat......You go or let it ripped in ...........

You can buy Tempon in most AAFES outlet but they tend to ran out pretty quickly as far as i see. You can always ship hygiene product from the states if you want. Some female soldier i know even go as far to take hormone to stop the period.
