Yup.
Quick math and being paranoid about redundancy:
A typical period lasts 3-5 days, with 7 being the high end. Round to 10.
Heavy flow might require a change every 4 hours, or 6 a day. 12 a day is in the realm of reality, albeit medically concerning.
Bring extra in case return has to be delayed for whatever reason.
They’re extremely light and small, so a conservative weight allowance holds a lot of them. About 1g each, or 100 per 4oz.
So some quick math and padding your numbers to account for the unknown gets you 100, which considering they then asked isn’t an unreasonable way to start.
100 NASA tampons
Fuck it’s actually real. Nasa engineers really suggested 100 tampons for 6 days

What would be the normal amount, just out of interest?
I’d say 4 tampons a day for 7 days (so 28) would be plenty for most people. If you need 100, I’m concerned you would be dead of blood loss.
I misread that as “4 tampons for 7 days” and almost gagged.
You don’t have to eat them
You don’t have to but a job half done…
