When traveling, besides packing clothes and essential medications, you canalso bring these four super practical everyday items: “hot and cold compress packs,” “alcohol,” “tech sponge,” and “folding hangers.”With these items in tow, your trip will definitely be more comfortable and enjoyable—especially for families traveling with kids, as these everyday items are absolutely indispensable. Next, we’ll go into detail about why you should bring these four everyday items when traveling.

Usage occasions: leg soreness, shoulder and neck pain, headaches, fever, menstrual cramps, stomachaches... and more.

Every time I travel abroad, I opt for independent travel. As everyone knows, independent travel can really push you to your limits—you’re cramming in walking-heavy itineraries until your legs give out or shopping until you’re seeing red, practically turning yourself into a porter who can carry a thousand pounds. By the time you get back to the hotel, your legs feel like they’re not even yours anymore, and your shoulders and neck are so stiff you can barely turn your head.

Before bed, you can use a heat pack on the most sore areas of your legs and shoulders and neck, then massage them. Once your legs are soothed, you’ll be walking strong again the next day. And of course, once your shoulders and neck are relaxed, you can get back to being a porter.

While traveling, it’s also easy to catch a cold, headache, or fever without noticing. That’s when the hot and cold compress packs come in handy again to relieve bodily discomfort.

Also, for women traveling, one of the biggest fears is getting your period. When Aunt Flo comes knocking, that dull and painful feeling in your abdomen can really ruin the mood. If you’re at the hotel, you can apply a heat pack to your abdomen for 10–20 minutes (or if you’re out, use a heat pad instead), and once your abdomen feels better, you can continue with your itinerary. Of course, if you suddenly have a stomachache and don’t happen to have any stomach medication with you, using heat can also help relieve the discomfort.

You never know how many people have used the toilet in a hotel room, and of course, you can’t see with the naked eye whether there are any lingering bacteria. That’s when disinfectant alcohol becomes your best little helper. Spray the alcohol on the toilet seat, then wipe it clean with toilet paper, and you can confidently use the seat.

Staying in a hotel often gives you the urge to take a bath—imagine soaking in a warm, comfy bath. But at the same time, you can’t help but worry about how many people have used that bathtub and how it’s been used (all kinds of unhygienic images pop up immediately). So before taking a bath, make sure to scrub the tub thoroughly before using it.

And the tech sponge, which requires no cleaning agents and can be used just by wetting it with water, is a great helper for scrubbing bathtubs and sinks while traveling. It’s also inexpensive, can be discarded after use, and you don’t have to bring it back home—super convenient. But because the tech sponge contains harmful substances, never use it to clean tableware.

The number of hangers provided by hotels is always limited, and if you’re traveling with kids, the hanger shortage becomes even worse. These folding hangers don’t take up space and come in two sizes that you can adjust, suitable for both adults’ and children’s clothes. Bringing a few extra folding hangers when traveling helps keep clothes from getting wrinkled and makes washed clothes dry faster.

When folded into a small size, you can hang kids’ clothes or undergarments... and so on.

When opened into a large size, you can hang adult clothes.

“Hot and cold compress packs,” “alcohol,” “tech sponge,” and “folding hangers” are all practical and take up little space—I bring these everyday items on every trip, and they’ve really helped solve quite a few of my problems. Everyone, consider bringing them along on your next trip too.
