Travel With Confidence: The Essential Period Kit for Summer
Planning a getaway this summer? Whether you're jetting off to sunny beaches, exploring city streets, or heading on a staycation, there's one thing you don’t want catching you off guard: your period.
While periods are a part of life, they don’t have to disrupt your adventures. With a bit of prep and the right tools in your bag, you can travel confidently, stay comfortable, and keep it sustainable. Here's your go-to guide to building the ultimate summer period travel kit.
1. Start with the Essentials
Let’s talk basics. Your period kit should always include:
-
Your preferred period products – tampons, pads, reusable cups or period underwear. Pack more than you think you’ll need—travel delays happen!
-
Pain relief – cramps don’t care if you’re on holiday. A couple of paracetamol or ibuprofen tablets go a long way.
-
Spare underwear – for just-in-case moments. Trust us, you’ll be grateful.
-
Wipes or a small flannel – great for staying fresh on long journeys or in humid weather.
2. Don’t Forget Disposal
One of the biggest travel period struggles? Finding bins—especially in shared accommodation, on planes, or at festivals. That’s where FabLittleBag comes in.
Our discreet, sealable sanitary disposal bags fit perfectly into any bag or pocket and let you bin confidently anywhere, even when a bin isn’t nearby. Made from sustainable materials, they’re an eco-friendly alternative to flushing, which helps protect plumbing, beaches, and marine life.
No bins? No problem. With FabLittleBag, you're always prepared.
3. Add a Personal Touch
Your kit isn’t just about function—it should help you feel good, too. Include things like:
-
A calming tea sachet or mini chocolate bar (hello, comfort).
-
A mini heat patch for travel cramps.
-
A zip pouch or our Personal Period Bag to keep everything in one easy-to-grab place.
4. Keep It Discreet & Stylish
Travelling with your period doesn’t have to be awkward. With FabLittleBag’s Starter Pack or Essential Bag, you get a hygienic, elegant solution for disposal and storage that’s perfect for holidays, festivals, or gym bags.
5. Bonus Tips for Travel Confidence
-
Track your cycle before you go to avoid surprises.
-
Set reminders to change products—especially important in heat or when exploring new places.
-
Speak up if you need a break—rest is part of self-care.
