What do you put in a feminine hygiene kit?

BYU recently had their annual Women's Conference. For two days there were thousands of women on campus and what upset me most was that the stole my bathroom on the second floor of the JKB. On Monday when I return to school, my bathroom will be returned and all will be well. Except for one thing. I walked in on Friday and saw that they were making feminine hygiene kits. I have always understood feminine hygiene to mean hygiene that women need that I don't e.g. tampons and maxipads. Here is a picture:

Thinking this would be a weird kit to assemble and very curious as to what they would be cutting I asked the next known female what she thought that they would be doing. Katie Day confirmed what I had previously suspected but was also confused as to why you would need to be cutting anything. Her guess which I think I have since confirmed is that they are making homemade maxipads. I have pictures to show it. Judge for yourselves and leave me any guesses in your comments. I would appreciate your help.

This is a lady cutting fabric from a pattern. I don't know if you can tell but the pattern on the floor that she has already cut out kind of looks like this:

which kind of looks like this:

Based upon this evidence I concluded that Katie Day was correct; they are making making kits filled with homemade maxipads which is kind of gross.
