Do they have tampons on flights?

Unfortunately many airlines fail to supply period care in-flight or if they do it's a very limited supply. The last thing you want is to get your period during the flight or to run out of tampons/pads when in the air! We recommend stocking up before you fly and pop a few in your hand luggage.
