5 Tips for a Stress-Free Period While Traveling

You’re on vacation, soaking up the sun, and suddenly—your period arrives. Don’t worry, this doesn’t have to ruin your trip. With the right preparation, you can stay comfortable and relaxed no matter where you are. With Gotyu period underwear, you’re always protected—sustainably, comfortably, and with ease of use. Here are five other tips to make traveling with your period stress-free.

1. Your Emergency Kit: Small Bag, Big Impact

There’s nothing worse than realizing you forgot your period essentials while you’re on the go. This is especially tricky during long flights or road trips through remote areas. That’s why a compact emergency kit is a must.
Pack these essentials:
  • Hand sanitizer
  • Wet wipes
  • Pain relief tablets
  • Heating patches
  • A spare period underwear
Pro tip: Our Super Leakproof Gaia is perfect for travel. Thanks to the detachable hooks on the side, you can change it easily anywhere—no more struggling in tiny airplane restrooms or questionable roadside bathrooms.
Good to know: If you don’t use period underwear, make sure you’re prepared. Some countries don’t sell tampons or carry unfamiliar brands, so plan ahead.

2. Stay on Top of Your Cycle: Period Tracking

Apps like Flo help you track your cycle, so you always know when your period is due. This gives you peace of mind and allows you to plan accordingly. Most apps also track symptoms like mood swings and cramps, helping you prepare in advance and schedule some extra self-care when needed.

3. Hydration & Nutrition: The Feel-Good Boost

Vacation is all about indulging—and you should absolutely enjoy yourself. But did you know that too much salt, caffeine, or alcohol can worsen cramps? The key is balance: have that ice cream or cocktail, but also drink plenty of water. Your body will thank you.
Tip: Foods rich in calcium, like spinach and almonds, help ease muscle cramps, making your period more bearable. Dates are another natural remedy—eating two to three per day, can help reduce menstrual discomfort.

4. Natural Remedies: Plant-Based Relief

You don’t always need medication—nature has some powerful period pain remedies too. Try these:
  • Vitamin B1 & B12 – Support the nervous system and reduce cramps.
  • CBD oil – Soothes, relaxes, and helps relieve abdominal pain.
  • Ginger & chamomile tea – Naturally anti-inflammatory and perfect for a warm, calming effect.
Find what works best for you.

5. Total Relaxation: Minimize Stress

Vacations are meant for relaxation—so take advantage of it. Your body needs extra rest during your period. Lounge by the pool, soak up the sun or unwind with some gentle yoga.
Why? During your period, estrogen levels drop, which can make you feel more tired and low-energy. That’s completely normal. Once your period ends, your energy levels will bounce back. Until then, listen to your body—take breaks, get enough sleep, and don’t push yourself too hard.
With these tips, your next trip will be smooth and stress-free—even on your period. And if you’re still looking for the perfect menstrual product, check out our website for everything you need to enjoy your period with zero stress—even on a beach vacation.
