Cloth works well enough that in extreme survival situation you might forego pads in favour of food or drink.

I can't speak for all women but I think I'd try to have enough of both food and pads/tampons if I could. Pads are much more efficient at absorbing than a bundle of cloth and are cleaner, so wouldn't cause thrush and other infections

Pads and tampons are also good first aid supplies - I think tampons were first invented to plug bullet holes

I think tampons are older invention than bullets. I know tampons have been used for battlefield wounds, but I don't think that's their original intended use.
