Going on holiday should mean leaving your daily routine behind: switch off that morning alarm, step away from your emails, and relax. But don't forget the vitamin patches! Unlike bulky pill bottles, tablets, and powders, patches are flat, lightweight and won't take up valuable space in your luggage. Before you go, simply count out the number of patches you need for your trip and they will easily fit into a small suitcase pocket or toiletry bag. One of our top packing tips is to pop in a few extra patches in case of unexpected delays.
Many of our formulations contain multiple nutrients, ideal for ensuring you're getting everything you need to feel your best while you're away without sacrificing suitcase space, or maxing out your baggage weight allowance . Plus, there's no need to juggle the pill bottles each morning or think about which tablets you need to take and when. You don't even need water to take them with either! Just peel off a patch, pop one on your skin, and off you go – Bon Voyage!
Top packing tips: how patches can help you breeze through security
Unlike some liquid or gel formulations, vitamin patches are fine to keep in your hand luggage when your bags are scanned – no more scrabbling around transferring your vitamins to plastic bags. The quantities of nutrients in each patch are also legal to transport into another country, which means less chance of hold-ups at customs when you land. Plus, the space you save with patches could mean you can take hand, rather than hold, luggage – so you won't need to waste time at bag check-in, or hanging around the baggage carousel – high five!
Another reason patches are one of our top packing tips is that they won't leak or spill during your journey. You can travel safe in the knowledge that you won't be clearing up sticky gels, liquids, or powders when you arrive. More time to enjoy yourself, and no risk of having to replace your vitamin stash because it's splattered across your suitcase!
