Pack a discreet period go bag with a menstrual cup, compact sanitizer, and mesh laundry bag. This step-by-step guide covers must-have Saalt accessories for worry-free travel.
Quick answer
Pack a Saalt Cup Bag for clean storage, a Saalt Compact Sanitizer for quick microwave or boiling-water sanitizing, and a Saalt Mesh Laundry Bag to protect your period underwear in transit.
Why a dedicated period go bag helps
A period go bag keeps your reusable essentials together so you are never caught without a clean cup or a place to store used underwear. The key is choosing accessories that serve double duty: storage, sanitizing, and laundering without extra bulk.
How to build your period go bag in 4 steps
- Choose your cup and storage bag: Place your clean Saalt Cup inside the Saalt Cup Bag. The cotton bag is breathable and fits all cup sizes, so you can store a backup firmness or size without worrying about moisture buildup. Pack a second cup if your flow is heavy or unpredictable.
- Add the compact sanitizer: Tuck the Saalt Compact Sanitizer into your bag. It is small enough for a purse or gym locker. When you need to clean your cup, fill it with water and microwave for 3 minutes, or pour in boiled water and wait. Check that you have access to a microwave or hot water before you rely on this method.
- Include a mesh laundry bag for underwear: Drop one or two pairs of used period underwear into the Saalt Mesh Laundry Bag. The fine mesh keeps fabric safe from zippers and hooks, and the bag can go straight into the washing machine at home. Rinse underwear with cold water before sealing the bag to prevent stains from setting.
- Add a small wet/dry pouch for extras: Use a small zip pouch (not sold by Saalt) to hold a spare pair of underwear, a travel-size Saalt Cup Wash, or a panty liner. This keeps damp items separate from the rest of your bag. Label the pouch so you do not mistake it for a makeup bag.
