Taylor shows us her essentials to pack for a road trip.
-
Plan the Route
Several trip-planning websites have tools and settings that allow you to identify rest stops, restaurants and gas stations on your specific route. When planning your trip, it helps to look for routes that offer frequent rest stops, so you’ll always know how far it is to the nearest restroom. -
Pack Extra Supplies
Make sure you have extra pouches, skin barriers and accessories so you’re prepared to change and empty your pouch when needed. Pre-cutting your skin barriers can help make pouch changes easier and quicker. -
Plan a Road-Trip Menu
If you want to prevent excessive build-up of gas on your trip, there are certain foods that you should avoid. Cabbage, spinach, broccoli and sweetcorn are just a few. For more information, visit our Diet & Digestion page.
