Read More »In addition to the expected challenges of competing on a show like “Survivor,” women face the added stress of handling menstrual cramps, mood swings and bleeding while in the middle of nowhere. Several former contestants spoke to Insider about caring for oneself while competing on their periods, revealing that while some accommodations are made, that time of the month was still a stressor for most women on the show. Elaine Stott of “Survivor: Island of the Idols” shared that production asks contestants to submit necessities in advance, which are then locked away in an off-camera medical box in the woods. The box can include items such as tampons, contact lenses, sunscreen, bug spray or medicine. She added that producers only allowed players to approach the box one at a time, to avoid any secret, off-camera strategizing. “If you needed any of that stuff, you could just go to the med box,” Stott said. For one contestant, however, the number of tampons requested simply wasn’t enough, as she got her period twice during filming. “I was ending my period the first day that we started, so then I actually had my period again there,” said “Survivor: Island of the Idols” castaway Lauren-Ashley Beck. “I’m just bleeding, and I go to one of the producers and say, ‘Can you please get a tampon?'” She claims “about 24 hours” went by before a producer returned with sanitary products, as they had to venture into a nearby village to restock. Three-time “Survivor” castaway Andrea Boehlke added that it was difficult to “feel clean,” as they were not allowed to use soap on the island or change their underwear. “It sucks to change your tampon out in the jungle next to a med box with no supplies or way to fully clean yourself,” she said. “It’s pretty gnarly.” Player Karishma Patel was also concerned with her hygiene, saying she wondered if sharks could be a problem while the women bathed and washed their clothes in the ocean. “You know, there’s sharks in there,” she said. “We don’t need to spell it out, but it’s pretty scary.”
"You'd want to go in the direction away from the wind," Redlener said, adding: "Get as far away as you can in the next 10 to 15 minutes, and then...

Season 33's Sole Survivor was an obsessed Survivor fan who found himself in the millennial tribe in the series' Millennial vs. Gen-X face-off. After his win, the homeless shelter manager used his $1 million to become a cancer research advocate in honor of his mother, who was diagnosed with lung cancer. He has partnered with organizations such as Stand Up 2 Cancer (donating $100,000 of his prize money), American Cancer Society and American Lung Association. Adam and his mother Susie, a fellow super-fan, applied to be on the show together for Blood vs. Water before she was diagnosed, with Adam going on to join the cast of the following season; she passed away just nine months later, shortly after Adam was able to return home and tell her that he won. "I had absolutely no idea what I was coming home to. And the thing is, she was strong throughout the entire season because they had made the decision to stop treatment," he told EW after his emotional win. "My mom did not want to pull me from the game. That was not an option in her mind. But they made the decision that if I was voted out, even if I were on the jury, that I would come home immediately...I believe that she waited for me." Aside from donating money to the causes and charities he believed in, Adam said, "I really just don't spend a whole lot of money, but something my family has always loved to do is traveling so I will definitely use some of my winnings for that. But for the most part, that money is going to get locked away and allow me to continue to live the kind of life I want to live."
