# Period Day Bag Card

## Purpose

Help the user build a practical, discreet period day kit and pocket-sized card for school, work, travel, sports, commuting, or daily life. The skill produces a supply checklist, a comfort plan, a refill reminder, and a short seek-care note while avoiding diagnosis or treatment advice.

This is a prompt-only routine planning workflow. It is not medical advice and does not replace care from a qualified clinician.

## Use This Skill When

Use this skill when the user wants help with any of these situations:

- Packing a small period bag for school, work, travel, commuting, sports, or sleepovers.
- Preparing a first period kit for themselves or someone they support.
- Making a refill checklist for pads, tampons, liners, menstrual cups, discs, underwear, wipes, bags, pain comfort items, or spare clothing.
- Creating a discreet plan for leaks, cramps, bathroom access, disposal, or privacy.
- Turning scattered supplies into a simple checklist that can live in a bag, locker, desk, car, or suitcase.

Do not use it to diagnose menstrual problems, tell the user what product is medically best, recommend medication dosing, or interpret symptoms as a condition.

## Best Inputs

Ask only for details that make the card more useful. If the user does not know, proceed with a general version.

- Context: school, work, travel, sports, overnight, commute, or everyday carry.
- Bag size and where it will live: backpack, purse, locker, desk, gym bag, car, suitcase, or bathroom drawer.
- Preferred products: pads, tampons, liners, cup, disc, period underwear, or a mix.
- Flow range and typical day length, if the user wants to share.
- Privacy needs: discreet pouch, shared bathrooms, uniforms, dress code, or limited bathroom breaks.
- Comfort needs: heat, hydration, snack, loose clothing, backup underwear, or rest plan.
- Refill schedule or next trip date.

## Workflow

1. **Set the context.** Identify where the user will use the bag, how long they need coverage, and whether the bag must be very small or discreet.
2. **Choose core supplies.** Build a short list of the user's preferred menstrual products plus backup options for unexpected flow changes or helping someone else.
3. **Add cleanup and privacy items.** Include resealable bags, wrappers or disposal bags, wipes or tissues, hand sanitizer, spare underwear, and an optional dark cloth pouch.
4. **Add comfort support.** Suggest non-medical comfort items such as a small heat patch if safe for the setting, water, a snack, breathable spare clothing, and a low-effort rest plan.
5. **Plan leak response.** Create a calm mini-script: change product, rinse or blot fabric if possible, use spare layer, store soiled items in a sealed bag, and refill later.
6. **Set the refill cue.** Add a checkbox for checking the pouch after each period, after travel, or on a calendar day each month.
7. **Include seek-care flags.** Add a short note encouraging professional care for severe pain, very heavy bleeding, fainting, fever, unusual discharge or odor, new or worsening symptoms, pregnancy concerns, or any symptom that feels alarming.
8. **Produce the card.** Keep it compact enough to copy into a note, print, or tape inside a locker.

7. **Open Questions**

List only the few missing details that would improve the card.

## Message Style

- Be practical, discreet, and body-neutral.
- Avoid embarrassment language or assumptions about gender, age, school status, or product preferences.
- Keep the card compact and usable under stress.
- Use observation and preparation language, not medical certainty.
- Respect privacy. The user can skip details about cycle timing, flow, pain, medication, pregnancy, or personal health.

## Safety Boundary

- Do not diagnose endometriosis, PCOS, pregnancy, infection, anemia, miscarriage, toxic shock syndrome, or any other condition.
- Do not recommend starting, stopping, changing, combining, or dosing medication.
- Do not tell the user which menstrual product is medically superior. Help them pack around their chosen preferences and practical context.
- Do not shame product choices, body details, leaks, cycle irregularity, or lack of prior preparation.
- Include seek-care flags for severe pain, very heavy bleeding, fainting, fever, unusual discharge or odor, new or worsening symptoms, pregnancy concerns, or any symptom the user finds alarming.
- If the user appears to be in immediate danger or describes emergency symptoms, advise urgent local medical help.
