Period Care in Bali: What Women Need to Know Before You Go

Let’s talk periods in Bali — because being prepared makes all the difference when traveling! If you're heading to Bali and wondering what period care options are available, here’s what you need to know before you pack your bags. Pads are your easiest option — you’ll find them stocked at most supermarkets like Indomaret, Pepito, Guardian, and Circle K. Local and international brands like Laurier, Charm, and Kotex are widely available, so you’ll be covered if that’s your go-to. Tampon users, take note: these are trickier to come by. They're usually only found in expat hotspots or pharmacies, and even then, the selection is quite limited — think basic, non-applicator styles and high prices. If you have a preferred brand or applicator style, it's best to bring a supply from home. Menstrual cup fans — you’re golden! Just make sure you have access to clean water if you'll need to rinse it while out exploring Bali’s beaches or remote temples. A small travel-size bottle of water and some wipes in your daypack can be a lifesaver. For those who prefer organic pads, period underwear, or specific products, it’s best to pack your favs — these specialty items can be hard to find locally. Pro tip: Bali’s tropical heat can amplify menstrual symptoms, so stay hydrated, wear breathable fabrics, and make time to rest. A cooling towel or refillable water bottle can be a handy addition to your day kit. Planning ahead with your period care means less stress and more time soaking up Bali’s beauty.
