Seasoned combat medics do that... most keep plain tampons in their bags for bullet wounds. Usually paid for out of pocket, standard issue medic bags don't include them.
Pads and tampons were actually invented because of WW2. The cellulose bandages they used for staunching wounds was noticed by nurses and they started to use them as pads. After the war many wrote to the companies making the bandages and told them about this new use and then Kotex started making pads out of them...
