Be careful with deoderant - if you're in bear country the scents may attract unwanted visitors. Same goes with other "smelly" things: lotions, perfumes, etc.

For back country hiking - when a shower isn't possible, baby wipes work great after tp.

Also consider bringing the Divacup instead of sanitary pads/tampons. Supremely comfortable and way less hassle, I use mine even for everday use!
