What to pack for spring break

Don't leave for spring break without these indispensables: 

1. Non-negotiable outfits 

When planning your spring break packing list, you may be tempted to add as many outfits as possible—but don't overdo it! Remember that less is more. Instead of stuffing your entire wardrobe into your bag, pick three to five pieces that will give you the most options. This can include a couple of dresses and some mix-and-match blouses. 

Also, keep your climate in mind—if it's likely to be hot, opt for lightweight fabrics like cotton or linen. Throw in a few breathable bottoms, such as Ruby Love's Period Bikini Undies, Period Hipster Panties, and Period Brief Underwear, that offer round-the-clock confidence for that special time of the month, and you're all set!

2. Accessories

Up your fashion game this spring break by bringing a few key accessories. Think statement jewelry in bold earrings, layered necklaces, and chunky bracelets. These can instantly transform a simple outfit into a fantastic OOTD. Pair them with your favorite sundress. Or you can match these with your fave bikini, like Ruby Love’s  Period Bikini Bottom in Blue Waters, which offers 100% maximum security from leaks and stains. 

Next up, trendy sunnies! Not only will they protect your eyes from the sun, but they'll also add a touch of glamor to your beach-babe look. Don't forget about chic hair accessories that can keep your hair out of the way while you're having fun.

3. Swimwear

What is a spring getaway without a few days at the beach or pool? Pack at least two swimsuits so that you can rotate them throughout the week. Add some beachy coverups or sarongs.

Riding the crimson wave? Keep your sun-kissed vibe with Ruby Love Period One-pieces, such as the timeless Period Swimwear Racerback in Black Sea with a built-in organic cotton liner. Depending on your flow, it can even be worn with or without additional protection. During your heavier days, you can choose to wear it with Ruby Love's Double-Sided Pads for up to 6 tampons' worth of absorption.

Or cool off with Ruby Love's Period Two-pieces, like its Period Swimwear Tank Set in Wild Berry or Bubbles. On your way out, grab some sunscreen, to keep your skin protected. 

4. Shoes

It should be "anything goes" in your spring break packing list, right? But the kind of footwear you bring to your trip can make or break even the fiercest OOTDs. Depending on what activities you plan on doing during your trip, have at least four to five pairs with you. This could include sandals, espadrilles, your favorite sneaks, and a pair of wedges or heels. Make sure to choose comfy footwear that's ideal for walking and also stylish enough to wear at night.

5. Period apparel 

Feeling stoked for an epic breakcation but worried about Auntie Flo’s visit? What if the PMS squad decides to join in on the fun? Don't let your monthly cycle hold you back from enjoying your trip to the fullest. Take charge of your Spring Break adventure with flow-friendly undies that are both stylish and practical. 

With reliable period wear, such as Ruby Love period apparel, you don’t have to be weighed down, not even when the red flag is up. For example, you can slay it at any outdoor party while looking super adorable in Ruby Love Period Tennis Skorts in Clean White or Black Onyx. These period beauties are designed with perfectly contoured "floating gussets" for a flattering fit and a secure, "held-in" feeling. 

At the end of an exciting and hectic day, catch some much-needed Zzzs in Ruby Love Period Sleepwear. Nighttime leaks and sleeping on towels are a thing of the past with Ruby Love's delightful Period Onesies. These lightweight PJs are cut from extra soft jersey that feels great against your skin. With their built-in period-proof gusset, you can indulge in a full night of worry-free sleep!

6. Tech gear

Tech gadgets like smartphones, tablets, and laptops have truly become spring break essentials and travel companions. These devices will allow you to stay connected with loved ones and provide access to entertainment, social media, and important travel apps. 

Double-check if you've got the necessary chargers and adapters—you surely don't want to be caught with a dead battery! By the way, don't skip that uber-important step of backing up your photos. How else can you share your lit spring break moments with your crew once the trip is over?

7. Toiletries

Make sure your skin and beauty game is on point this spring break. Don't forget to bring enough shampoo, conditioner, and body wash for your entire trip. And, of course, throw in your favorite makeup, cotton swabs, and face wipes to stay fresh and flawless all day. 

Treat yourself to some extra self-care time with a couple of face masks, which are absolute staples in any girl's kit. After all, you can't let anything get in the way of your glow-up! With your beat kit and skincare stash safely tucked in your carry-all, you can keep shining bright and confident, inside and out.

8. Medicine and first aid

They say it's always better to be safe than sorry! Get basic first aid items like bandages, painkillers, and anti-allergy medications to make sure you're prepared for anything. Stay bite-free with a natural and effective insect repellent. Who has time for bug bites ruining their vacation vibe?

9. Entertainment

t's important to remember that downtime during your trip doesn't have to be boring! Having something fun to do will keep the good vibes going. Bring a good book or download some binge-worthy TV shows to help pass the time. Board games and card games are also great options for group hangouts. 

And don't forget about the music! Creating a playlist of your favorite tunes will keep you jamming on the go. With these entertainment must-haves, your trip will surely be a blast from start to finish!
