Can i pack these in my suitcase without the airport embarrasing me

Question

im a GIRL. and i'm going to an airport pretty soon, and i was wondering if i could put a pack of pads in my luggage.

i was reading something that said if you bring a wrapped present, they will unwrap it.

is it the same with pads?

Answer 1

No, nothing will happen.  Most women and girls travel with sanitary supplies.  You don't need to worry about it.

Answer 2

you wrap your pads with present paper?

Answer 3

Well i guess u can just keep it out, i mean they won't say anything.....i don't think they check suitcases anymore, they scan them.......:-)

Answer 4

your luggage or carry on???

i wouldn't think so...

last time i was on a plane it was before 9/11 so security wasn't as strict.

Answer 5

Instead of wrapping paper why not just stick them in a brown paper bag or some other bag that isn't see-thru. That way if they should take them out of your suitcase, they can just look in the bag and not embarass you. They'll understand, they've seen everything.

Answer 6

you should be good if it is in ur bag and in its origanal packaging because its not out of your bag like a present would be.  

Answer 7

are you planning on wrapping them in wrapping paper? haha don't be embarrassed. i have a friend who had her luggage searched, and she had the variety pack of KY massage/lube. I've also had to "unbutton my pants" twice in the airport because for some reason I set off the metal detectors. It isn't like everyone over the age of 7 doesn't know that girls have a period, so don't stress.

Answer 8

Just about every woman takes them; suitcases are rarely unpacked in the airport; noone will take the slightest bit of notice if they do see them.  

Your suitcase will be xrayed, and the officers doing the job will have seen pads before, so they won't bother opening them.

Just go and enjoy your trip.

Answer 9

If they are in the original package they'll know what it is and know it's not something dangerous, but it sounds like you're thinking of wrapping it like a gift to hide what it really is.  Then they'll unwrap it.

Answer 10

They will probably shout "EVERYONE GET DOWN!  SHE'S GOT PADS!"

You're pretty much screwed.

Answer 11

No, pads are pre-packaged in little plastic things, and then packaged AGAIN. They will not open up the bag and search through every one. Plus, if you put them in your checking bag, and just have a few for the plane ride, you wont have to worry about it.

Answer 12

of cors not

pads come in a square thing

they will know there pads just by looking at the packet

they wont unwrap it

Answer 13

LOL, don't worry about packing pads.  You're definately not the only one who has packed them, that's for sure!  Probably ever girl you see at the airport will have them in her luggage just in case, lol.  They put your luggage through this scanning thing to see if there is anything dangerous in it and if it doesn't come across as anything harmful they probably wont even open the luggage.  But sometime's people forget and they put things in things that will set off the alarm thing and they will look through your luggage.  They won't open the pack of pads unless they have already been opened.  If they're sealed don't worry about it.  Or if you're a young and going on this trip with a female relative like an aunt or your mom just ask to put it in their luggage because your embarssed. :)

Answer 14

probably not cause pads say pads right on the bag
