Are period cups good to take on holiday or whilst travelling?
Lucy MeacherGetting caught short and starting your period unprepared whilst on holiday or when travelling is a worry for the past! With a period cup, you’re covered. Here’s why:
Convenient
Period cups take up just a fraction of space in your suitcase or backpack compared to even a single box of tampons or pads (because you only need one cup!). They also last up to 10 years, so they’re super reliable, and no matter how heavy your flow is, you won’t be caught out (when you might just run out of tampons and be in a country or city where they’re super hard to get hold of!). Hello, stress free travel!
Your Eleria period cup comes with a small cotton drawstring bag, which is perfect for storing and taking your cup with you wherever you go. It also keeps your cup safe from potential damage.
Budget-friendly
The cost of period products can really stack up, especially on top of your usual travel costs, so cups can be a big money-saver. Not only do they save you money, but switching to a cup also means you’re doing your bit for the planet by cutting down on disposables! Read more on this here.
No-fuss
Whether you’re backpacking, camping, or living it up in a 5-star hotel, a period cup is the way to go for a stress-free, no-fuss adventure. You’ll never have to stop and fuss with separate bags for new and used tampons or worry about carrying around packaging and the extra weight of waste that disposables create.
Worried about cleaning your cup on the go whilst travelling? The Eleria Cleaning Case is the no-fuss, stress-free, convenient, and discreet solution to cleaning your cup between uses! Interested? Find out more here.
How do I clean my period cup if I have limited access to water?

When you remove it, use some tissue or toilet paper to wipe some of the fluid off before re-inserting again. If you have bottled water, it's a good idea to rinse your cup before re-inserting again if you can.

If you have no access to a microwave or boiling water, use sterilising solution, such as Sterilising Tablets, with your Cleaning Case, and you're good to go! No need to worry about trying to find a kettle or microwave. Just make sure you follow the manufacturer's instructions for use.
Happy holidaying!
