You can hit the beach, lounge by the pool, or go on that rafting trip without worrying about or planning around your period. You also get to ditch that entire box of tampons and pads. Reusable period care is a sustainable, high-quality, and totally safe option that makes planning getaways, holidays, spring trips, and more as easy as any other day of your cycle. A vacation with reusable period cups, discs, or leakproof underwear looks something like this:
Packing Your Bags
You consider everything that will or could possibly happen during vacation. Whether you’re lying low or flying to a tropical island, a medical-grade silicone cup (or disc) and at least one pair of leakproof period panties are ready to go. They’re in their cute, breathable fabric bag and water-resistant go-bag, respectively. You also remember the cup and disc wash. (Travel-friendly size for easy packing in your carry-on, of course.)
Getting Through the Airport
Going through the airport on your period is a cinch with reusable period care products. You know you can wear your cup or disc for up to 12 hours on lighter flow days, but you’re also wearing some leakproof panties—just in case. If you’re not on your period, you are obviously not wearing a cup or disc, but you might have some leakproof panties in your carry-on, or you’re wearing them because they’re comfy and help you feel secure.
Arriving at Your Destination
Finally, you’ve arrived! You check in to the hotel, hostel, or motel or arrive at basecamp. As you unpack your bags, you’re prepared to go with the flow. You can move period care essentials to the bathroom, keep them in a toiletry bag, or stash them in a pocket in your backpack.
Hitting the Beach or the Trails
Getting ready for the first day of vacay, you clean and reinsert your cup or disc before hitting the beach, lounging by the pool, or heading to the trails. No need to worry about a soggy tampon—cups and discs are great for swimming. You can simply wear period underwear if you aren’t swimming. While high-quality cups and discs can hold about four tampons worth of your flow, period underwear typically absorbs about one to three pads worth, depending on the style, and you happen to have brought a thong, boyshort, and two briefs. Thankfully, their thin absorbent gusset means you never feel bulky or wet wherever your adventures take you.
Meeting New People
You meet people on vacation and want to hang out. You do so without worrying about leaks, and you even get to stay out late with your new friends, laughing, dancing, and maybe finding a little romance. With romance in mind, a reusable disc is a smart decision for no-mess period sex.
Heading Home
At the end of a fabulous vacation, you want to ensure all of your period care products are packed neatly for the trip home. The only exception is a pair of leakproof panties for the plane or car ride. You might have a small laundry bag with used period underwear, which you were ideally able to rinse after wearing, or you have a clean reusable cup tucked away in its cloth travel bag. Once you get home, you will tend to your period care products more thoroughly.
Planning a vacation around your period used to feel like a hassle, but having a plan for a vacation with your period is a different story. It’s way easier. You pack your cup or disc, a few pairs of period panties, a cup wash, and fabric bags to carry them in, and you’re all set for a relaxing, fun, and leak-free vacation.
