Just how AkbarTravels can save you time and money with incredible travel discounts and offers; excellent travel gear may mean the difference between a stress-free vacation and a chaotic trip, for women. As a woman, investing in excellent travel gear might prove to be a wise decision when travelling. You will undoubtedly want to bring something that will withstand the test of time and function. Which is why, we’ve chosen to compile a list of 5 essential & light travel essentials for women – sure to make your vacation a breeze!

Also, at the end of the blog is the ultimate packing list for women out there, because you know we’ve always got your back!

Dry Shampoo for women:

Ask any woman and she will tell you how much she despises sticky hair. It’s inconvenient to have it when travelling, and it’s impossible to wash your hair every time. As a result, we have dry shampoo, which for women, will always come in handy. It is really effective and very beneficial on terrible hair days.

Women’s makeup pouch:

We’ve all heard how important cosmetics is to women and how they can’t live without it. After all, posing in front of the world’s most recognised landmarks such as the Burj Khalifa or the Eiffel Tower requires you to appear stunning. As a result, we highly advise you to bring a multi-pouch travel bag that will organise all of your cosmetics, lotions, and toiletry items in one spot. It makes things easier to find and saves time that might be spent enjoying the great outdoors!

Menstrual cup:

Periods arrive unannounced and with little regard for your travel plans, so chances are you’ll be taking several excursions while on, or expecting, your period. So, if you’re going to an island where a restroom may not be available when you need it the most – say, during your period — bringing a menstruation cap is essential. It’s environmentally friendly, cost-effective, and appears to become comfy if you get the hang of it. It also takes up less room in your suitcase and eliminates all of the extra tension associated with using sanitary pads.

PowerBank:

Taking a lot of images and using your smartphone for Google Maps may drain your device’s battery. You will be absolutely adrift without your phone. As a result, we strongly advise you to get a small power bank with a long battery life.

Versatile women footwear:

Variation in footwear, like variety in clothing, aids in navigating diverse terrains. Nothing beats taking off your hiking boots or walking shoes after a long day of walking and stepping into something more comfortable, such as sandals or flip-flops. You may also make the commitment to only own two pairs of shoes: one to wear when travelling and one additional pair. The extra pair may be finer, for nights out on the town, or more practical, for long days of walking and touring. If you really must have more than two pairs, tuck one pair of flip flops or sandals into the water bottle pouch on the side of your travel backpack and it will be our little secret.

So there you have it ladies! Those were our top picks for key essential items that you must have for your next trip. Incase, if we’ve missed anything that you’d like to add? Let us know!
