Traveling can be so stressful when it comes to the trip itself; the duration of time you’ll be gone, when you’re going, and packing. All of this is ten times more stressful when you’re a girl, you need a lot more things than just a t-shirt, pair of pants and deodorant. You have to account for the kind of weather, the kind of events you will be attending, different hygiene products, personal items and even things to prevent tragic events, like getting hurt or damaged luggage. Below I have compiled a list of travel essentials for women you should pack on your next trip to make it that much easier.
Blankets
We all know how planes are long and cold for flights and aren’t normally the most comfortable. We can try to maximize our own personal comfort, starting with the perfect blanket, lightweight, compact, breathable, but warm. Here is the best recommended blanket that I suggest, looking sheek but also very functional. It’s called the swaddle blanket. The swaddle blanket not only keeps you warm, but it won’t overheat you. With its light material it makes it easy to take anywhere on the go and is very compact.
Portable fold-up hangers
You can’t tell me you’re going on a trip without taking those picture perfect outfits that need to be hung up. The fear that comes with not knowing if the hotel will have more than one hanger or if you should bring your own, or by the time you get to your destination the hangers you packed are broken and take up so much space in your luggage. With these hangers you can take as many as needed without taking up the entire suitcase, they fold down to the maximum compactness and leaves you with extra space and no fear if the hotel will have hangers for you.
Toiletry bags
They can make or break the trip, if you get a broken zipper, there’s a hole, you can’t fit everything or you can’t find anything you need. Organization when it come to your products, you need to have well made toiletry bags that come in different shapes and sizes so it’s personal to your product and what you need. This is one of the best travel essentials for women.
Makeup remover towels
Having to pack makeup remover, means taking all the cotton balls for the solution or if you go the wipe route it takes up a lot of space with little to no wipes in each bag. Trying to get it all off in the shower is unheard of, but with the reusable every day travel-sized makeup remover towels it eliminates taking up space and bringing extra items. You simply get them wet and gently wipe off your face with little to no effort and tada makeup gone! It’s an investment definitely worth looking into.
Wireless headphone adapter
In today’s world very few people have earbuds with cords and if people do they’re constantly getting tangled, lost or don’t work. Not to mention, people want to bring their own Bluetooth earbuds or headphones, because they’re so frequently used by the consumer. However, on planes to watch a movie they are mostly headphone jacks. This leaves you unable to use your favorite listening device, because they don’t have a cord. With the wireless headphone adapter it eliminates that problem, you simply plug it into the headphone jack and it allows you to connect you earbuds/headphones and listen/watch your favorite movies on that long plane ride.
Overnight bag
One of the best needed things in your life! Most girls are too busy and don’t have the money or time to do a week long trip, but the overnight stay or weekend trip may be just doable. This bag is the perfect fit. It’s big enough to fit everything for a day or two day trip, but not too big it’s overwhelming and takes up half of your trunk. This overnight bag is perfect for that getaway trip with the girls especially with everyone piling in you need to pack light to fit everything in the car. Even if you do go on a week long trip across the country it works perfectly for a carryon. When you land you’ll have your necessities all packed for that first night and you won’t need to rummage through the big bag looking for your toothbrush. Travel essentials for women are so needed and this bag is one of them.
First aid kit
When traveling you’re bound to get a little cut or something worth fixing and it’s always good for you to be prepared. A small first aid kit with bandaids, tylenol, disinfectant wipes and more makes you the most prepared for any situation. It might not be a whole hospital worth of stuff, but it includes all the necessities all put together in a small container. Having this ready and accessible to things you might use on a day to day basis and then the additional just in case items.
Suitcase covers
Nobody likes going on a flight and going to bag check to only find out your bag has been poorly handled with either scuffs or random gunk/substance that’s now all over it. One of the best things to use are suitcases that easily slide onto your bag and close up around your bag. It’s a durable waterproof material that can protect your bag from some unwanted damage.
Suitcase weight checker
A must have for sure, not only before the trip but leaving on the trip. They are compact and take up a minimum amount of space. Even though you go on your trip with under the required suitcase weight are you leaving that way? With the new survivors and things you take home it’s not a matter of if you have the space for it, it’s a matter of does all of it weigh too much. Taking a weight checker will insure you aren’t overweight and overpaying for your bag. The way it works is you hook it to the handle of your bag, lift it up and the weight will be displayed.
