The holiday season is officially upon us, and for many of us, that means packing our bags, catching flights, and maybe even navigating some long road trips. While traveling during the holidays can be a lot of fun, it can also bring some added stress—especially if you’re on your period. But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with some simple period travel hacks to make your journey easier, more comfortable, and leak-free. At Saalt, we believe your period shouldn’t hold you back from enjoying the holiday season or any adventure that comes your way. Let’s dive in!
Switching to a Menstrual Cup or Menstrual Disc
The best part about period cups and menstrual discs is that they have the ability to be safely inserted for up to 12 hours before needing to be removed. So no more running from your airport gate to the bathroom in between flights to change your tampon or making multiple stops during your road trip to swap out a pad.

Invest in a Period Travel Kit
The best part about these travel-friendly products, especially the Saalt Travel Kit, is that they don’t have to only be for your vacations or holiday travels. You can easily incorporate them into your regular routine, keeping them in your car for those surprise period visits or storing them next to your commode for easy access each month.
What’s included in the Saalt travel kit?
- Compact Sanitizer
- Peri Bottle
- Saalt Cup Wash
In addition to your travel kit, Saalt Intimate Cleansing Wipes are a great option to freshen up during your travels or to have on standby if you find yourself needing to empty your disc or cup in less than ideal places.
Saalt Wear
Saalt Wear leakproof underwear can be a great option for traveling on your period, especially if you are nearing the end of your cycle or need a little extra back up coverage to a tampon, cup, or disc, to get to your destination. Psst, have you seen our Comfort Collection yet? (So comfy for when your travel method may not be.):
- Traveling on your lighter days and just need a little extra coverage
- As backup to your cup or disc
- Free bleeding so you don’t have to worry about emptying your cup or disc (hello super gusset period panties!)
