What reusable period care essentials should you keep in your car?

By

We’ve all been there—your period arrives unexpectedly, and you're unprepared. Whether you've recently switched to a period cup or menstrual disc, or want to ditch tampons for good, keeping a menstrual essentials kit in your car ensures you’re always ready.


Backup Cup or Disc: Keep a spare menstrual cup or disc in your car for emergencies. Having an extra one stored in your glove box can save you when you least expect it. These reusable products are ideal for long wear, offering up to 12 hours of protection.

Cleaning & Care Basics: With a travel kit, you can easily rinse and clean your cup or disc in public bathrooms. Just fill a squirt bottle with water, and you’re good to go. Personal cleansing wipes are also handy for quick, gentle cleaning of your cup or personal area, and they’re biodegradable and flushable.

Leakproof Panties: Period underwear are a lifesaver when you need a fresh, dry pair. With their super-thin, absorbent gusset, you can stay dry and comfortable all day.

Comfort Items: Pack pain relievers, heating packs, and snacks for extra comfort. Taking care of yourself during your period is essential, and these small items can make a big difference.

Stay prepared with a menstrual essentials kit for ultimate peace of mind on the go!
