How to prepare for vacation during periods?
1. Pack the right items for vacation during periods, like pads, tampons, menstrual cups or period panties, whatever you use normally daily, keep stock of them. Apart from this, carry a ziplock or disposable bag with you, you can store the used pad or cup in it. Apart from this, carry wet wipes, tissue paper, and hand sanitizer to use in places where there is no water. Keep extra underwear and clothes. If the bleeding becomes excessive, then there should be no problem in changing. Make a period kit in your handbag in which all these things are together.
2. During periods, use natural remedies instead of medicines in vacation plans. Like ginger tea, it is beneficial in period pain and swelling. Apart from this, chamomile tea, it gives relief in mood swings and stomach pain. Also keep a hot water bottle or heating pad with you, applying it on the stomach reduces cramps. Along with this, eat light and fiber-rich food while traveling, it prevents constipation and bloating. Drink more water during vacation during periods, this will keep the body hydrated and reduce fatigue and cramps.
3. Take special care of the travel schedule i.e. the first 1-2 days of periods are often heavy and painful, so avoid any very active trekking or long travel during these days. Plan walking or trekking on light days. Plan breaks during the journey in advance. Get information about the bathroom facilities of the place you are going to.
4. If you are tired, take rest, if you feel stomach ache or heaviness, lie down for a while, stretch or take a light walk. Do not try to be overly active.
5. If you are going to a place where there is no clean water or bathroom, use sanitary wipes, tissues, and hand sanitizer. Keep a small towel or scarf with you. This is useful for both privacy and cleanliness.
6. Use a light liner or pad with a menstrual cup while traveling. Keep extra underwear and bottoms in your bag. On long bus or train journeys, sit on the seat with a small towel.
7. During periods, the body feels swollen and heavy, so wear loose and comfortable clothes, like free size dresses, long tops, joggers or leggings. It is better to wear dark colored bottoms.
