Period Kit Essentials for Every Woman

Periods can be a tricky affair without a doubt. Even if you are someone whose periods are always on time and do not get delayed or preponed you too might face a few problems. In such cases, having a kit with all the essentials handy could be brilliantly helpful.

To make sure that you are able to dodge any kind of embarrassment that you might have to face if by chance your period comes unexpectedly or there is some spotting, having a few things handy can help. Making a list and then including them as a part of your daily to and fro bag will help you feel confident, knowing that you will be able to tackle any period issues that arise.

Small Bag/Purse

If it is going to be a kit, then you need something to serve as the kit per se. Grab a purse, a small bag that can be easily integrated inside your current purse or bag, and that is also big enough to include extra- large sanitary napkins. Check the size of your biggest extra- large sanitary napkins and choose your bag’s size accordingly. You will need space inside this bag to include in it other period kit essentials.

Pads or Tampons

One cannot, for obvious reasons, go through their period without the right kind of pads or tampons. Take your pick from your favourite soft sanitary napkin, ultra-thin sanitary napkin or extra-large sanitary napkin, and include them in your kit. The right kind of napkins can really go a long way in making you feel safer and more protected. If you are a tampon user then keeping your favourite tampons in the kit would definitely ensure a prepared approach towards your periods. Along with this. This is the time when the flow isn’t very heavy and essentially only includes spotting. Panty liners can help with that.

Pain Medication

Sometimes the chances of a period being painful are always there. This is where pain medication can help tremendously. Have a word with your doctor and tell them your issues and how much pain you experience in your cramps during your periods. Keep the medicines they suggest in your period kit to ensure a pain-free and more relaxed period.

Extra Underwear

If your period decides to come knocking suddenly, then the chances of you staining your underwear are high. This is where the extra pair of underwear comes to the rescue.

Stained underwear will not only make you feel conscious but will also leave you feeling unhygienic as well. So opt to keep your most comfortable pair of underwear as an extra in your period kit.

Hand Sanitizer & pot seat covers/sanitizers

Changing in public toilets can sometimes seem like a daunting task, but if you have your trusty hand sanitizer with you, you will definitely be able to battle any and every germ that you might come into contact with. Apart from this, also carrying toilet seat cover or sanitizers can help sanitize the public pot seat for you before your skin comes into contact with it.

A Ziploc bag

This is to essentially help you hold any stained underwear in.

And there you have it, your very own period kit. You can also add on a small carry-on perfume that will help you feel fresh as a daisy all through your periods without fail.
