Travel Essentials for Women
1. Stockings
The best way to make sure that you are traveling light is mix and match with the clothes that you have. That way you can easily reuse clothes, and at the same time, it doesn’t feel like you are wearing the same outfit every day. Enter stockings.
Be it dresses or skirts, stockings goes well with a lot of things, adding a glam factor to your outfit. There’s just too many upsides of carrying stockings while traveling and is one of my evergreen travel items.
To start with, it’s so lightweight and it hardly takes up space. Stockings work for those summer days or bleak chilly days. And also on those days, where you don’t have time to wax your legs. Didn’t I tell you that there are many upsides to carrying stockings?
However, one of the downside of stockings is that it can easily get torn. So carry a spare along with you to be on the safer side! I love how easy and simple stockings can be, don’t you?

2. Multi Pouch makeup bag
It’s great to sort out all of makeup or toiletry essentials in one place. Multi-pouch travel bag comes in handy to compartmentalize all the lotions, makeup, toiletry and so on. It makes everything easily accessible and saves time that can be better used exploring the great outdoors!

3. Pepper Spray
It’s best to avoid any such notorious surroundings or circumstances, but in cases, it’s not possible to avoid, it’s better to be well equipped. I would like to see a day when Pepper spray won’t be required. But until then, it’s a travel essential for women, especially while traveling solo.

4. Hair Remover
Facial trimmer has been quite useful for me on my travels. Apart from eyebrows and upper lips, I also use the trimmer on arms and legs to remove small growths of hair. It’s quite convenient and doesn’t infuse more and thicker hair growth unlike razors. Not to mention, that it’s easy as a breeze, with no pain. A must on every woman’s travel packing list. [amazon_link asins=’B07D381G7M|B0009DT39C’ template=’Simple-Buy-it-here-Template’ store=’therovinghear-21|therovinghe09-20′ marketplace=’IN|US’ link_id=’880c149a-6985-11e8-b3a5-9198a52d7a0c’]

5. Dry Shampoo
No one likes sticky hair, and while traveling, it might not always be possible to wash hair regularly. Dry shampoo comes to the rescue and makes your hair just as fresh and shiny. It has proved quite effective for me. And, extremely useful on those bad hair days. [amazon_link asins=’B00O2Y16A8|B01CYDXMSW’ template=’Simple-Buy-it-here-Template’ store=’therovinghear-21|therovinghe09-20′ marketplace=’IN|US’ link_id=’a29bdaa2-6985-11e8-935d-91952676779d’]

6. Menstrual Cup
I have been hearing a lot of noise regarding menstrual cups lately, so thought of adding it to the list. It’s the most eco-friendly product out there, and cost-effective too. Also apparently, it gets comfortable once you get the hang of it. I will soon try it out and see what’s it’s like. Although, it might not work for everyone. Give it a shot and see if it works for you!

7. Travel Bath Collection
Bathing collection in travel sizes is perfect for vacation mode! It serves as an alternative to filling lotions and other essentials in small travel sized bottles.

8. Personalized Passport Holder
Who doesn’t like personalized items? It makes us feel special, right? Personalized passport holders are gender neutral, but makes a good addition to the list. [amazon_link asins=’B078N8Q9PZ|B078NSRJS9′ template=’Simple-Buy-it-here-Template’ store=’therovinghear-21|therovinghe09-20′ marketplace=’IN|US’ link_id=’ee1d1460-6985-11e8-8f11-d1945b710a85′]

9. Toilet Sanitizer
Coming up next on my list is to buy a Toilet seat sanitizer. I have lost track of the times I had to literally squat at dirty toilet seats just to avoid contact wishing there was a better alternative. Now, there is. Enter Toilet seat sanitizer.
[amazon_link asins=’B01175RMMK|B00NNG5VZ2′ template=’Simple-Buy-it-here-Template’ store=’therovinghear-21|therovinghe09-20′ marketplace=’IN|US’ link_id=’09688961-6986-11e8-8d4c-e5f128b3c3d8′]

Jul 22, 2018I am sorry, but I always find these gendered travel posts so strange!! I’m female and I’ve honestly never needed any of these things let alone found them “essential” to my almost 3 years on the road?! I think you’ve just presumed all females are the same because you use something or that all men wouldn’t want such things as hand sanitisers or a personalised passport cover?!?! Surreal!
Raksha Rao
Jul 23, 2018Agreed. It may not be essential to all female traveler. As a traveler who has traveled for 3 years, you should know that better than anyone to know that to each their own 🙂 But personally, I found it quite convenient, and helpful which is why I thought of this post. And if you read through the post, you’d know that hand sanitizer wasn’t mentioned as a separate section, and it was clubbed with toilet sanitizer, which like it or not, isn’t as necessary for men as it is for women. And it’s clearly mentioned that passport holder is gender neutral, yet it was added to the post. I just wanted to have a one-stop location where women can go ahead and buy their travel necessities. At least read through the post before insinuating someone else!
