Portable family hygiene kits are a must for any family who drives long distances or who has children involved in sports. Kits online sell for upwards of $50. Make one yourself and save $20 to $30. The family hygiene kit includes all the items needed to stay clean and fresh when you are away from home.
Instructions
1. Buy a small container or bag to hold of the items. Remember that the kit has to fit comfortably in your car. Get a bag or container that fits in the truck, hatchback or behind a seat.
2. Include a roll of toilet paper to use when public restrooms are out of paper. The toilet paper also comes in handy when things explode inside your car.
3. Purchase full-size bottles of body wash and shampoo. Use baby body wash as shampoo. Pull these out and freshen up after ball games, activities or long road trips.
4. Put extra sanitary napkins or tampons in the kit for any mature females in the family.
5. Buy a small bottle of insect repellent for the kit. Look for one that has a pleasant smell in case you have to be inside the car with kids doused in the spray.
6. Place sunscreen in the kit. Normally SPF 30 to 35 is enough sun protection. Use a higher SPF for small children or people with sensitive skin.
7. Include toilet seat covers for public toilets. If toilet seat covers are nowhere to be found, use toilet paper to cover the seat.
8. Buy a small bottle of antibacterial hand sanitizer for the hygiene kit. Use it to sanitize after activities, snacks or use of a bathroom.
9. Put a small box of baby wipes in the hygiene kit. Baby wipes are great for a quick face or hand wash.
10. Purchase a tube of toothpaste and a tooth brush for each member of the family.
11. Put razors in the kit for any adults who may need to shave.
12. Included a couple of trash bags to help keep the car clean or to put other items in.
