READ MOREWhen out in the wilderness, it can get tough to maintain feminine hygiene but it's not impossible. Here are some tips by Aungsumi Sinha, a passionate hiker, who was brought up in the hills of Assam and has been doing all sorts of outdoorsy stuff since she was 6-years-old!
If you are prone to UTI and other hygiene-related problems, she recommends always carrying V-wash wipes. It's very important that you keep your privates clean and dry. Hikes can make you sweat, especially if it's summer.
Having your period when you are hiking can be difficult, especially if you are prone to cramps. However, it is important to prioritize your body over your trail and make sure you don't overdo it.

Ladies, when you are walking in the wild and you gotta go... well you gotta go in the wild. You probably won't have the privilege of a toilet at every hiking spot. It's vital to know how to spot the spot. If you are in a rocky terrain, this should be easy. Take cover behind a rock and stay away from the shrubs and the weeds.

Taking a shower is not always an option when you're hiking unless you have a river or waterfall nearby. If your campsite has a water supply, you can take full advantage of that otherwise wipes are your friend again. Wipe your underarms and other areas more often. This will get rid of the odour so you can start the day on a fresher note.
If water is available and you're camping with a group of people for more than a day or two, it could be interesting to carry a shower cabin along. This gives privacy to shower/change etc.
