Period-Proof Your Travel

SCARLET BLOG - How to Period-Proof Your Travel

Got your period just as you're about to take off? No stress - here’s how to handle it like a pro while keeping your travel plans intact.

 

Pack Like a Pro

Packing smart on your period? It’s an art. Ditch the ‘just in case’ clutter and go for the essentials. Grab a sleek pouch for your go-tos: leak-proof period underwear, a period cup, and some pain relief (shoutout to magnesium and ibuprofen). Our pick? Scarlet Bikini Briefs - cute, comfy, and can handle up to 5 teaspoons of fluid. Stylish and stress-free.

 

Travel-Friendly Self-Care

Long flights and endless car rides aren’t period-friendly, so be kind to yourself. Hydrate (yep, even with the extra bathroom trips) to dodge bloating. Keep peppermint or ginger tea on hand to beat cramps, and don’t forget your rae Heat Pad. This wireless, rechargeable gem is a lifesaver on the go, giving you soothing warmth whenever you need it.

 

Time Your Outfits

All-black? Not necessary. Choose outfits that are comfy, stylish, and breathable. Flowy dresses or high-waisted pants with loose tops are perfect for staying chic and comfortable. And always keep spare undies and your period pouch in your day bag - just in case.

 

Track Your Cycle

Use a period tracker so you know when to expect the unexpected. If your cycle is unpredictable, pack a little extra to be safe. That way, you won’t be hunting for products in an unfamiliar pharmacy.

 

Keep It Flexy

Periods are unpredictable, just like travel. Build in some chill time if your period drains your energy. It’s OK to swap sightseeing for a spa day or take a break with a view.
