    14 Products That'll Save You From Awkward Public ~Emergencies~

    A portable charger, panties-on-the-go kit, and things to keep on hand.

    1. A bottle of Poo-Pourri that will miraculously mask the unbearable stinkiness when "duty" calls. 🚽

    2. A sleek portable charger because nothing generates more fear and anxiety than seeing a phone at 1% battery.

    3. A discreet panties-on-the-go kit for those unexpected period stains. *tells everyone that I sat on ketchup instead*

    4. A dainty nail clipper with a built-in file that'll prevent you from giving yourself a nasty scratch with the uneven, sharp nail that you just broke. Womp.

    5. A foldable and lightweight windbreaker that is also water resistant. Tbh, I would much rather carry this than an umbrella!

    6. A conversation starter deck in case you bump into an acquaintance from ten years ago on the street and have absolutely -nothing- to talk about.

    7. A handy deck of cards–sized first-aid kit that will prevent any small cuts from getting infected and provide immediate relief from unexpected stings. *knocks on wood*

    8. A compact mineral powder that will revitalize a midday dull complexion and prep you for the ~fun~ plans ahead.

    9. A powerful instant stain remover stick for those moments where you take a bite of a juicy burger and go "OH CRAP."

    10. A travel pack of facial tissues in case you catch the sniffles, need to wipe your lips, or unfortunately enter the toilet stall that ran out of tp.

    11. A pair of foldable flats to replace those beautiful (killer) heels that have been giving you blisters.

    12. A mouthwash packet to freshen up your breath before a business meeting or seeing someone special. (And so you can eat all the onions you want without a worry.)

    13. A pocket-size dry shampoo for the afternoons when you realize it's your third-day hair and need a little ~push~ to volumnize the plop.

    14. A pack of single-use antiperspirant wipes to rid you of your sweaty on-the-go problems. Don't ~sweat~ over your favorite silk blouse or dress shirt being stained from nagging armpit prints ever again.

    We'll never be as prepared as Mary Poppins, but we can try.
