6 Monsoon Essentials Everyone Needs In Their Bag

The monsoon months can be quite whimsical. The weather seems to be neither here nor there and you aren't even sure if the rest of the day will be sunny or rainy. The best thing you can do is be prepared. This monsoon season ensure that you add these 6 items to your bag to stay protected, clean and dry.

1. Perfume

After hours spent under raincoats and in gumboots, you're bound to get sweaty and stinky. To drive stench away, keep a miniature bottle of perfume or deodorant in your bag and apply when you find yourself smelling a bit stale. It'll save the day when you're on the go and can't hit the shower in time.

2. Waterproof Pouch

A surprise shower can end up drenching your precious documents and wallet in minutes. You can prevent that if you have a waterproof pouch on hand. During the season, keep your important items in it so even if your bag gets soaked, nothing will affect your goods.

3. Tissues

Does this really need any explanation why? Tissues can fix most monsoon problems in a jiffy, whether they are sweaty necks, oily skin or sudden showers. Make sure your handbag, home and office desk each have a pack.

4. Umbrella

At some point or another, everyone has stepped outside unprepared thinking it will be a sunny day but ends up getting wet. A small folded umbrella in your bag can fix that. It may be small but will keep a single person fairly dry for a short distance like in emergencies.

5. Sanitiser

Monsoon can be an icky season during which, your hands can be carriers of countless infections. That's why it's important to sanitise them before meals and at regular intervals through the day, which works especially well because you don't even need to a visit a washroom to do so.

6. Phone Cover

Too many phone mishaps happen in the rains just because mobiles are used without the right cover. All it takes is one wrong move to drop an uncovered phone into a puddle and render it water-soaked and unusable. The simple way out is to carry a small pouch or waterproof cover to slip your phone in when outside.
