Best Period Kit for Travel — What Every Woman Needs in Her Bag

femPAQ started on a trip to Los Angeles.

My best friend got her period unexpectedly on a girls trip. We searched every store for a compact solution — something small enough for a travel bag that had everything she needed. There was nothing.

She settled for the bulky pads that barely fit in her luggage. That frustration became femPAQ.

Why You Need a Travel Period Kit

80% of menstruating women have been caught off guard by an unexpected period. On a trip — whether across the country or across town — being unprepared is more than inconvenient. It can ruin a day, a flight, or a vacation.

A dedicated travel period kit solves this permanently.

What to Pack in a Travel Period Kit

The best travel period kit is small enough to live permanently in your bag — so it’s always there when you need it.

Every travel period kit should include:

A tampon. Compact, discreet, and perfect for active travel days, long flights, and beach trips.

A pad. For backup or for nights when you want external protection.

A wipe. Essential for feeling fresh when a shower isn’t possible — on planes, in airports, at events, or on remote travel days.

Underwear. For longer trips our 5-in-1 and 7-in-1 Period Emergency Kits include a pair of underwear — the one item most travel period kits forget.

These items in one small pack solve every unexpected period situation no matter where you are.

The Best Travel Period Kit Under $2

The femPAQ 3-in-1 Teen Period Kit — organic tampon, ultra-thin pad, and refreshing wipe in one compact pack — was designed exactly for this. Small enough to fit in any purse, travel bag, gym bag, or carry-on.

It’s $1.97 at Walmart. Available in 484 stores across 46 states. Item number 682306040.

When preparing a travel period kit, buying individual boxes costs over $18 and takes up valuable bag space. femPAQ fits in a pocket and costs less than two dollars.

Need More Coverage? Upgrade Your Travel Kit

For longer trips or more complete coverage our 5-in-1 and 7-in-1 Period Emergency Kits include underwear along with a pad, tampon, liner, and wipe — so you’re covered for every unexpected situation.

The 7-in-1 also includes dark chocolate and cramp relief — everything you need when your period arrives mid-trip.

Both are available through wholesale and retail partners across the US and Canada including 7-Eleven Canada locations.
