Menstrual Cups
A must for all adventurous ladies!

I've been using menstrual cups for over ten years. They are the best feminine product ever, and I think every menstruating woman should own one.

A menstrual cup is a critical piece of gear for any adventurous woman, but more than that, menstrual cups are beneficial for all menstruating women and the environment.

I never go anywhere without mine, and it is such a relief to know that I just need this one item- no worrying about finding tampons in remote areas of foreign countries. No worries about find places to dispose of used products. This tiny cup is all I need.

Why are these qualities important? 
Adventure is full of the unexpected. Laundry facilities are rarely accessible, rain storms come out of nowhere, and there are always spontaneous adventures to partake in. 

You might spend a morning hiking and the afternoon sampling wine. You'll have more time to do both if you don't have to stop by your hotel room to change clothes. 

You'll be able to wash your clothes in your sink at night and they'll be dry by morning. 

You also want clothes, underwear and socks that won't start to stink after wearing them for more than a day or two.

Raid Your Closet
Before you buy anything, its time to go through your closet.You probably already have several pieces in there that would be great for travel. Here is what to look for:

I love Etsy, the handmade online marketplace. Etsy is home to thousands of web shops owned by artists and crafters making all sorts of beautiful products. Buying products on Etsy is easy and connects buyers to high quality, customizable products. Just about anything that can be made by hand is available on Etsy. I've been selling on Etsy for a couple of years and have had positive experiences both selling and buying there. Over the years, I've added hundreds of items to my "want" list. Many of them have me dreaming of far off places, so I've decided to share them with you.
Most of them fit my travel clothing guidelines and are super cute. Sorry guys, this post is for the girls.
