What is THE ultimate travel accessory?



THE ultimate travel accessory?

 What do you think is THE ultimate travel accessory?

Dental floss is not just for teeth you know. But is it really the ultimate travel accessory? Girls, listen up, do you take travel hair straighteners with you travelling? How about the humble head torch? A micro fiber travel towel?

These are all travel accessories that you see time and time again in the top 5 travel accessories blog posts. OK, so maybe you don't see head torch that often, but the other three? Rather common place. I was reading a blog post on luxury travel accessories yesterday and they listed a wooden box of Fortnum and Mason tea bags.

Would you take Fortnum and Mason tea bags in  wooden chest travelling or would you pop a few PG tips (insert your own favourite brand here) into a plastic bag?

I've just responded to a quick question posed to me about really strong sticky tape called McNett Tenacious Tape. It is said to aggressively stick to any surface. As far as I know it does. it is lightweight, clear, flexible and will fix a huge amount of things. Perhaps this is THE ultimate travel accessory? Especially if you are backpacking around the world or are adventure travelling.

So tell me: What is THE ultimate travel accessory?

Free roll of Tenacious Tape to the person who I think beats me!

Wemmi Wipes

Wemmi Wipes

What I hear you say? Wemmi Wipes? What is a Wemmi Wipe? All I can see are two rather large horse pills. Yup, that's right. A Wemmi Wipe looks like a rather large horse pill. A paracetamol for a horse size headache.

I was delighted that to find a small sample card of these wipes stuffed in with my Shewee delivery. No explanation just a sample card with two Wemmi Wipe pill type things attached to it. The slogan on the card - Wet me, Grow Me, Use Me and WOW! They grow before your very eyes, coupled with, Fun, convenient adn really rather good... had some sort of teenage humour to it. These slogans added to the fact the sample came in my Shewee delivery prompted a very humourous comment of;  "what are you supposed to do with it? Pee on it and wipe your bum?". Much laughter sounded.  (For those not in the know a Shewee is a female urinary device to allow you to pee standing up)

 I have just popped one of the pills under a tap. Lo and behold expand it did and yes there was a moment of fun as is expanded into a tightly rolled bandage type thing. After a quick unroll you have a very useful wet cloth to do whatever you like with. Wash dishes, wipe your face and hand and generally use for wipe type things.

I did like this product. It did make me laugh, but for the life of me I can't see a use for it. Why would you want a small dehydrated compressed wipe? Why not just carry a small, scrunched up cloth? They never really take up much space in your bag. It is instantly usable you don't need to find a little water to 'Wet me, Grow me' and well it just does the job.

Fun product, but have to ask myself, Why? Wemmi - if you are are out there listening let me know!
