Why can't you take a bag? Can you carry anything at all? If not, slip one into your pocket.
If you happen to come on and you don't feel too great, keep active. Sitting and focusing on the pain etc will make you feel worse. Pack some painkillers or whatever you normally use/take (assuming you do).
Plenty of people have periods on their holidays - so don't let it ruin it for you.
Hope you have a great time. [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]
