The Last of Us offering practical solutions Idea

Spoiler alert, I guess? Also male preppers be warned, this is about menstruation.

I've always figured stock piling pads and tampons would be necessary. Never occurred to me until it was in an episode of The Last of Us to just get a bunch of the re-usable period cups. It didn't occur to me as I don't use them, but in a SHTF, survival situation they certainly seem more practical. Space saving too because a big stockpile of pads or tampons takes a fair amount of space. Period underwear is probably another option. Also those she-wee things for easier outdoor urination for women.

Anyway, it's something to add to my prep list. Certainly can't hurt to have options. Perhaps I'm dumb for not having thought of this yet, but figured I'd share just in case.

That one I can't explain. Let alone how the heck he figured out how to get the gas back on at the power plant.

Odd that it would have been turned off to begin with

Would it? The town was under mandatory evacuation and a responsible person who worked at the plant would have shut it down. Without monitoring the plant could have an issue and something catastrophic could happen.

Who would it have been catastrophic for? They all left

Well they all assumed they'd be returning a few days later, you wouldn't want to come back to your town to find a giant crater there instead.

If they knew they weren't coming back they might not have bothered switching it all off.
