Stay Hydrated and Use Safe Water

While staying hydrated during travel is crucial, always drink safe, clean water. In unfamiliar places, it’s best to carry a reusable water bottle with a built-in purifier to avoid contaminated water, which can lead to stomach infections. Proper hydration keeps your body functioning smoothly and also aids in regulating temperature and flushing out toxins.

Use Toilet Seat Covers or Pee Devices for Travel Hygiene

Public toilets, especially in busy transit points, can be less than sanitary. Sirona’s PeeBuddy Stand & Pee Device is a game changer when you can’t find a clean toilet. This simple tool lets you avoid direct contact with unsanitary seats by letting you pee standing up, minimising exposure to germs. If you prefer sitting, carry disposable toilet seat covers, which create a protective barrier.

Pack Intimate Wipes

Freshening up during long journeys can be challenging, mainly when showers aren’t readily available. Sirona’s Intimate Wipes are perfect for quick and easy cleanups. They’re gentle, paraben-free, and maintain the natural pH balance of intimate areas. These wipes are essential for female travellers to feel fresh and comfortable throughout the day.

Keep Hand Sanitizer Handy

In crowded or remote areas, soap and water may not be available. Keep a hand sanitiser in your bag at all times and use it frequently, especially after touching surfaces or before eating. Sanitising your hands helps prevent the spread of bacteria and viruses that can lead to illnesses.

Wear Breathable Clothing

Wearing light, breathable fabrics like cotton or linen can help prevent excessive sweating and irritation. Tight clothes can trap moisture and lead to discomfort or even infections in sensitive areas. Pack Sirona’s Underarm Sweat Pads for peace of mind to stay sweat-free and confident in any weather conditions.

Maintain Menstrual Hygiene

Managing your period while travelling can be tricky, especially when access to clean restrooms is limited. Always pack an ample supply of sanitary products, like tampons or pads. If cramps are a concern, Sirona’s Pain Relief Patches are perfect for easing menstrual discomfort without needing medication. These herbal patches provide up to 8-10 hours of relief.

Disinfect Public Toilets

Before using any public restroom, it’s wise to disinfect the toilet seat and surrounding areas. Sirona’s Before & After Toilet Spray instantly deodorises and kills 99.99% of germs, giving you peace of mind in even the most crowded places. Spray it on doorknobs, handles, and other surfaces to prevent germ transfer.

Dispose of Waste Responsibly

Always carry a few Sanitary Disposal Bags to properly dispose of used sanitary products, wet wipes, or other waste when travelling. Sirona’s bags are eco-friendly, leak-proof, and odourless, ensuring you don’t leave any mess in public restrooms or nature. Responsible waste disposal is crucial for both hygiene and environmental conservation.

Stay Safe with Personal Protection

Personal safety is just as important as hygiene when travelling. Sirona’s Pepper Spray is a must-have for female travellers. Compact yet powerful, it provides a non-lethal form of self-defence, offering peace of mind in unfamiliar or isolated areas. Always carry it in an easily accessible place like your handbag or pocket.

Staying clean and healthy during your travels doesn’t have to be a challenge. Proper preparation allows you to enjoy your adventures without worrying about hygiene. Sirona’s Travel Hygiene Kit combines all these essentials in one convenient package, designed to make every journey safer, cleaner, and more comfortable for women.
