How to deal with periods on the ropes

Hello everyone!

I’m a woman interested in getting into rope access, and I was wondering how I could manage my period when I'm on the ropes for the whole day.

During the first couple of days of my period, I usually need access to a bathroom every two or so hours, and I feel like that's not realistic on site (or maybe it is ? Please enlighten me).

Are there any women on this sub who would be willing to share their experiences or any tips?

Thank you!
