Child dealing with period on residential - Recommendations please!

DD is 10 and is more than likely going to be on her period during her school residential. She's going for 4 nights. She already uses period knickers so I will make sure to send her with enough to get her through the whole time she's there. I'm looking for recommendations for a way for her to store the used knickers discreetly. Also looking for period swimwear, preferably bikini bottoms that she can wear under her usual costume.
Anything else I need to think about? School will administer pain relief if she needs it.

If an option you could get the pills that delay periods from your GP

We did this for DD when she had her year 6 residential when she was 11. She was away for 4 days when she was due and lots of water sports and sharing a room, just seemed unfair especially as she was the only one in her friend group who had started her periods.
Tablets worked fine, I warned her she'd have a heavier period when she got back and more cramps, which she did but it was worth it.
