Jet Set, Don’t Sweat: The Muffington Post Travel Survival Guide
MP Edition 114
Summer may be on its final stretch but August is still serving up plenty of sunshine, long weekends, and last-minute getaway opportunities. Whether you’re hopping continents, chasing sunsets on a road trip, or losing yourself (in the best way) at music festivals, one thing is non-negotiable: your muff deserves VIP treatment right up until the season’s last hoorah.
We get it. Traveling can throw your usual intimate hygiene routine for a loop. Long flights, limited bathroom access, hot weather, and a break from your home comforts can make things, well…less than breezy down there. But don’t worry, we’ve got you (and your muff) covered.
Here are our top travel tips for keeping your vulva (and the rest of you!) happy, healthy, and fresh on the go:
1. Carry-On Confidence:
Your future self will high-five you for packing these:
Gentle, pH-balanced, and perfect for in flight, in between connections or post-flight refreshes.
Aluminum-Free Deodorant
Especially essential in shared spaces like airplanes where freshness is kindness to yourself and your seat mates. We love Salt & Stone or Nala Care for naturally fresh feels.
SPF That Plays Nice
Sun damage is the worst kind of souvenir. Consider Noto Botanicals Practice Safe Sun, Supergoop! Unseen and Blume Mineral SPF to keep skin safe without greasy drama.
Inflight Skin Savers
Pack a hydrating face mask like Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask and a lip balm by Ole Hendrickson to keep your skin happy at 30,000 feet.
Hand Hygiene Heroes
Because not all airport soap is created equal, we suggest packing Aesop Resurrection Rinse-Free Hand Wash or Noshinku Sanitizing Spray.
2. Dress for Comfort & Breathability
If it doesn’t breathe, it doesn’t board.
Go Breathable
Huha underwear and loungewear are perfect for airflow and comfort.
Master the Art of Layering
Loose, airy pieces prevent friction and keep sweat in check while still looking travel-ready. We love versatile staples from Everlane and Leset for their effortless mix-and-match travel wardrobe potential.
3. Hydrate Like You Mean It
Dehydration = grumpy skin. Beat it with:
• A reusable water bottle (Bink or LARQ are hydration heroes).
• Water-rich fruits like watermelon, oranges, cucumbers, nature’s hydration packs.
4. Rethink Your Routine
Your usual self-care lineup might not be travel-friendly, but that doesn’t mean you have to skip care altogether.
- Our I Love My Muff kits make it easy to stick to your intimate care routine with mini-sized products for max convenience.
- Bring a multi-purpose beauty balm for on-the-go moisture, cuticle care, and even taming flyaways.
- Consider travel-size dry shampoo like this one from Kerastase to refresh your hair between washes.
5. Make Time for Fun & Relaxation
Travel is about balance, don’t forget to enjoy yourself!
- Pack a good read for the beach or poolside. We recommend titles like:
- The Emperor of Gladness by Ocean Vuong
- Hello Beautiful by Ann Napolitano
- Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner
6. Travel Guides
Skip the guess work and download insider picks for your destination like Lonely Planet and Culture Trip. They offer excellent curated suggestions so you spend more time exploring and less time googling.
Bottom Line
Changing locations shouldn’t mean changing how amazing you feel in your own skin. No matter where life takes you this season, a little self-love goes a long way. With the right care, the right products, and a mindset for adventure, you can stay fresh, confident, and totally in your element from take-off to touch-down and everywhere in between.
Muff love ❤️
