What do you carry san pro in?

I think this is probably a silly question, but I can't ask anyone in real life and I always think I must be missing something.

At work, we travel all over the building and carry big rucksacks for all our stuff. I can't take my massive backpack into the toilet cubicle with me - it wouldn't fit. I put tampons out of my bag in my pocket and leave my bag somewhere else, but if I don't have a pocket I don't know how to carry san pro into the toilets without it being obvious. Even getting a little vanity type bag out of my big bag would feel obvious, and I often get stopped by people on the way to the loo. I know it isn't shameful at all, but I don't want to advertise the fact in the office if I can help it. Am I just being silly, and overthinking it?

There is nowhere to store anything in the toilet area itself, and I never see any women carrying bags in. What do other people do, please?

This takes me back. A distant memory for me too, thank goodness!
Sanitary towels were smuggled up from my bag up my sleeve under cover of my desk, or scrunched up in my fist.
Ridiculous to be so cloak and dagger when you consider half of the population has, did have, or will have periods. Hope the day will come when women feel comfortable not hiding that they are on a period.

I just used to keep a tampon in each bra cup 😂

Bumbags are still available including the totally flat "money belt" types.

In my pocket. Or my hand.

Before my hand it would be in my bag. If I can I try not to take a bag and just use my pockets though which is why it would be pockets. I don't hide my periods. Totally normal, and I don't want my male or female children thinking they are wrong or shameful or gross in anyway so I try to be more open about it if anything.

If you carry it vertically in your hand surely nobody can particularly see it anyway?
