Article: Be sure to bring ibuprofen, acetaminophen, aspirin or naproxen on your trip. You'll be prepared to treat any cramps you might experience and continue to enjoy your camping excursion. Remember that pain relief medication works most efficiently when it does not need to "catch up" to the pain. If you regularly experience menstrual cramping, plan a dosage schedule to ensure your cramps are continuously treated. Dehydration can increase menstrual pain. If you're taking pain relief medication, you'll need sufficient water both to ensure the medicine works properly and to dilute it so your stomach does not become upset. A hot water bottle is ideal, but a heated towel can provide similar pain relief if you're having cramps. Consider boiling a towel and wrapping it in another towel or a bag to soothe and warm your aching muscles. Darker clothing is less likely to show evidence of spotting and will help you feel more confident about camping while on your period. If spotting does occur, it is easier to rinse minor stains out of dark clothing than to eliminate spots on light fabric. Consider packing an on-the-go stain remover. These products require little or no water and can remove minor stains. Prepare for surprises -- pack extra supplies or bring along your reusable product so you aren't caught off-guard if your period comes early.

Article: As soon as you finish, the bow tie will likely be crooked, but you can easily twist the loop at the front and back bows to get it into the proper position. Since you can't double-knot a bow tie like you can your shoes, they loosen over the course of wear and can even come untied. Check your bow tie periodically to ensure it's still tight and perfectly positioned.

Article: As a sort of "super-food," oatmeal is not just edible but has number of healing uses: it can moisturize skin, reduce itching, serve as an emollient, and has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It can also protect against sun damage and the inflammation of certain skin conditions. You should be able to find oatmeal at any food store or supermarket. Whole oats -- not instant -- work better for bathing. Avoid flavored varieties, as well. Pour rolled oats into a nylon stocking or some muslin cloth. The amount you will need for a child is about 1/3 cup. Then, tie a knot in the fabric so that the oats cannot spill out. The key is to use a fabric that will hold the oats while allowing the water to pass through. Make sure the water is at an appropriate level and temperature for your child. Not too hot, but warm enough to be soothing to the touch and to activate the oats' healing properties. Lukewarm to warm water is best. Leave the oat sachet in the water and let it soak for a few minutes. The oatmeal will soon let off a milky liquid that soothes itching. Once the oats are good and soaked, place your child in the water with them. Take care, as the oatmeal will make the tub more slippery than usual. Let your child soak in the oat bath for between 15 to 20 minutes. Lift the sachet and allow the milky water to gently dribble from the oats onto your child's skin surface. Rather than rubbing, pat your child dry with the towel to avoid aggravating their itchy skin.
