You're traveling, enjoying the sun, and suddenly it's here – your period. Don't worry, it doesn't have to ruin your vacation! With the right tricks, you can stay relaxed and feel completely comfortable even while on the go. With Gotyu's period underwear, you're protected at all times – sustainable, comfortable, and easy. Here are 5 more tips to make your period on vacation stress-free.
1. Your emergency kit: Small bag, big impact
Nothing's more annoying than realizing you don't have any period products with you while traveling. This can be particularly inconvenient on long flights or road trips through remote areas. So, pack a small emergency kit!
This includes:
- Hand disinfectant
- Wet wipes
- Painkillers
- Heat patches
- Period panties for changing
Especially practical: Our Super Leakproof Gaia . Thanks to the side closure, it's easy to change, no matter where you are. No more hassle with rest stop restrooms or tiny airplane bathrooms!
Attention! Be prepared even if you don't use period underwear. In some countries, for example, tampons aren't available, or brands we're unfamiliar with aren't available.
2. Keep an eye on your period: Cycle tracking
Cycle apps like Flo let you track and plan your period. This gives you peace of mind because you always know exactly when your period is coming. Most apps also track symptoms like mood swings or cramps, so you can prepare even better and know when you should treat yourself to extra self-care.
3. Hydration & Nutrition: Your Feel-Good Kick
Yes, we know: On vacation, you just want to enjoy yourself! And that's totally okay. But did you know that too much salt, caffeine, or alcohol can worsen cramps? Try to find a balance: Treat yourself to your ice cream or cocktail, but drink extra water with it. Your stomach will thank you!
Tip: Calcium-rich foods like spinach or almonds help relieve muscle cramps, allowing you to enjoy your period with fewer discomforts. Dates can also help relieve period discomfort, but you should eat 2-3 dates daily.
4. Herbal helpers: Natural relief
Not only medications can help—herbal remedies are also effective! Especially effective for period pain:
- Vitamins B1 & B12 : Have a positive effect on the nervous system and reduce cramps.
- CBD oil : Soothes, relaxes and relieves abdominal pain.
- Ginger & Chamomile Tea : Naturally anti-inflammatory and perfect for a warm feeling in the stomach.
Try out what’s good for you!
5. Pure relaxation: Avoid stress
Vacation means relaxation—so take advantage of it! Your body needs rest right now. Lie by the pool, enjoy the sun, or relax with a gentle yoga session.
Why? During your period, your estrogen levels drop, which can make you feel tired and lacking energy. This is completely normal! Once your period is over, your energy levels will return. Until then, give yourself breaks, listen to your body, and get as much sleep as you need.
