17. Pee Rags, Menstrual Cups, and More with Angie Marie

In episode 17 of the Outdoor Minimalist podcast, we are going to talk about a topic that I think is applicable to everyone, whether or not you experience a menstrual cycle. The focus will be on using pee rags, menstrual cups, and more in the backcountry.

Topics regarding hygiene, peeing, and menstrual cycles in the backcountry, I believe, are important to understand and have some knowledge of even if you don’t experience them yourself. So, maybe you’re a dad that wants to bring their daughter backpacking. Maybe you’re a scout leader of a mixed gendered group. Or maybe you work in the outdoor industry and want to be more inclusive in your understanding of outdoor experiences. Even having a better understanding of your partner when you’re out in the woods can go a long way in relationship dynamics during your trip. This episode is for all, not just assigned at birth females.

I am an advocate for reusables in all aspects of your life, but in the backcountry, reusable menstrual products can be an interesting topic that is uncomfortable for some individuals to discuss openly. To help me reframe the conversation and give all people more confidence when talking about all things menses, I’d like to introduce Angie Marie.

Angie Marie is your hormone hype gal and hiking partner with the best snacks. As a fertility awareness educator with an adventurous edge, she helps athletic and outdoorsy people interpret their bodies and use the menstrual cycle to feel strong and confident as they get after their goals. Angie teaches people to harness their natural physiology to boost performance and strengthen the mind-body connection.
