Menstrual Cups
For those of us who get periods, using a menstrual cup can be super advantageous. You don’t need to change it or dispose of it as frequently as you change a pad or tampon. All you have to do is empty it, wash it and use it again. This is perfect for travelling, as you might not find washrooms everywhere.
Cloth Sanitary Pads
Water Bottles
Always pack a reusable water bottle when you travel. That way, you won’t create lots of (totally avoidable) plastic waste, but can still stay hydrated wherever you go, especially in countries where you can’t drink the tap water. Get a lightweight flexible water bottle (that rolls up when it’s not in use) that will take up much less space in your pack.
Solar Lamps Or Solar Lanterns
If you are planning on camping, trekking or hiking, it’s best to carry torches or lamps. But as one cannot find charging sockets in the wild, it’s best to use light-weight solar-powered lamps. Using the ever so sustainable- sun, it can be used quite easily and regularly too!
