Stetho Health Systems

Being on your period and traveling is not as exciting as traveling without the worry of your period. Traveling can be stressful until you reach your destination and being on your period can add even more stress to your traveling plans. Whether it is by car, plane, or even boat anytime your travel you want it to be as stress-free and relaxing as possible. Today we will talk about traveling and your period.

How to avoid traveling while on your period:

There are times when you can’t control or avoid getting your period while you are traveling. Well, you can’t avoid getting your period at all, but you can avoid traveling while on your period. Thanks to period tracking apps you can roughly estimate when you will get your period allowing you to book trips before or after the time, you’re supposed to get your period.

Period tracking apps are not always 100% accurate, and many things factor into getting your period. Only you know your body so only you will know if your period is regular or irregular. If your periods are regular, then period tracking apps are the way to go for you, but just remember that stress, hormone imbalance, sleep, birth control, and even what you eat can all affect your period.

With that all being said yes you can avoid traveling while on your period, but it is not 100% possible.

Tips for traveling while on your period:

· Pack your menstrual products:

Always make sure to be prepared with your favorite menstrual products. If you are traveling out of the country, they may not have the products you love, and trust so makes sure you are stocked up on your favorite products.

· Travel in comfort:

Menstruation can be uncomfortable already so don’t make it even more uncomfortable. You can still travel in style in your favorite sweats or leggings. Make sure you are comfortable while traveling so that by the end of your travel day you’re not regretting just staying home.

· Bring the essentials plus more:

Bring Items you know you use when you’re on your period. It can be a heating pad, candy, or even medication but if you use it at home while on your period you will still want it when you are traveling. You can never have too many items that bring you peace of mind.

· Pack extra:

Extra clothes, extra underwear, extra product. You never know what will happen when on vacation, so it is better to be overprepared than not prepared at all.

In-conclusion:

Traveling while on your period doesn’t have to be a miserable time. Being prepared with backups, traveling in comfort, and taking the products you love can help you travel comfortably while on your period. Periods may be uncomfortable, but they don’t have to affect your life when you find ways to make it easier for you.
