Collection: Equipment - Hygiene & First Aid

Don't Forget Personal Hygiene and First Aid

If you’re planning a multi-day trip, you’ll need not only enough changes of clothes but also a few hygiene items. After all, you’ll often work up a sweat during various activities, and you’ll want to start the day feeling refreshed after spending the night in a tent or at a mountain hut. At Transa, you’ll find a wide variety of hygiene items, such as soap, towels, washcloths, and toiletry bags, so you won’t have to go without anything when it comes to personal hygiene.

You should also not forget a good first-aid kit, which you can find here at Transa in various versions designed for outdoor use. Such a kit provides initial care should something happen to you or one of your companions while you’re out and about.

Soap and Other Hygiene Supplies

Staying hygienically clean and smelling fresh—that’s important to many hikers, even after a multi-day trip. Soap bars are especially practical here, as they allow you to use just the right amount of soap. But you don’t just need soap for washing while on the go. You’ll want to bring shampoo for your hair, the right shaving cream for your daily shave, or even a perfume spray with your favorite scent—you’ll find all of this here. Hygiene accessories also include items such as clothespins, toilet seat covers, urinal aids, washbags, refreshing wipes, and menstrual products. You’ll also find dental floss, toothbrushes, nail clippers, creams, mouthwash, and foldable hairbrushes here.

Large and small functional towels

After showering or washing, you need a clean, dry towel. When you’re on the go, you can pack a small and a large towel so you’re prepared for a quick wash in between, as well as for a proper shower. And after a long, relaxing shower, you’ll immediately feel much more energetic and can start your day feeling fully refreshed. You’ll find the perfect towels for your next outdoor adventure at Transa, available in various sizes and materials. What they all have in common is a compact pack size and quick-drying fabric, so you can quickly stow the towels away in your luggage once they’re dry.

Toiletry Bags – Space for Your Toiletries

To keep your various toiletries from sliding around wildly in your backpack while you’re on the go, there are practical toiletry bags—also known as travel bags—in various shapes and sizes. You can neatly store everything in the large main compartment as well as in the additional pockets. That way, you won’t have to spend time searching for things while on the go, and each of your toiletries will have a secure place. Since the pouches are tightly sealed and waterproof, they also prevent toiletries from leaking onto the rest of your luggage.

UV Protection with a Good Sunscreen

When the sun is shining, good sun protection is a must. Even on cloudy days, there’s a risk of skin damage, which is why you shouldn’t skip a good sunscreen even then. At Transa, you’ll find a variety of sunscreens that you can easily pack in your luggage.

First Aid Kit – for Minor Emergencies

To be prepared in case of an injury and able to provide first aid, a first-aid kit is essential in your luggage. It often contains important bandages and dressings, as well as scissors, a rescue blanket, disinfectant spray, and many other items you’ll need to provide initial care for an injured person in an emergency.

Don’t Forget Insect Repellent

In the summer and in regions where malaria or other diseases are transmitted by mosquitoes, insect protection (e.g., mosquito net, spray) is essential. This also applies to protection against ticks (tick tweezers, tick repellent), especially if you’re traveling in areas with a high incidence of Lyme disease or TBE. These items are also available in the Transa Shop.
