Top 5 Best Personal Travel Gear 2005 - Top Toiletry Travel Gear 2005

1. Best Personal Care Item 2005 - Brave Soldier Antiseptic Healing Ointment

Brave Soldier antiseptic ointment is the best. A mix of 4% lidocaine soothes a travel sore and comfrey promotes healing. I've used Brave Soldier healing goo on road rash, burns, and cuts -- made ouchies feel better fast and helped prevent scarring. I've also walked in comfort despite some serious blisters after slavering 'em with Brave Soldier. I never travel without it and I've never had an infected wound while using it. Read the Brave Soldier review.

2. Best of 2005 -- Insect Repellent

Good smelling bug dope that works -- what a concept! Crocodile® is an all natural insect repellent -- not bad for your skin or the planet. Guide-tested on mosquitoes and sand fleas -- works as well as DEET but has a better -- ah -- bouquet, shall we say... Finish reading the Guide review.

3. Best of 2005 - Travel Razor

Ingenious. The top of the Baggallini compact razor twists and locks into place after you turn the razor's bottom; push it into the tube / handle when you're finished. Very trick travel razor.

4. Best of 2005 - Feminine Hygiene

Hauling tampons and pads around the planet is pack space-consuming, and finding what you want in other countries can be tough. Solve the feminine hygiene packing and disposal problem with the Diva Cup menstrual solution -- reuseable for up to ten years (saves a whole lotta money over time if you're not a finicky soul).

5. Best of 2005 - Over the Counter Travel Drug

Jet lag can really play havoc with a traveler's schedule, especially if only a day or two is planned in a destination. "No Jet-Lag" homeoptahic tablets, endorsed by National Geographic Traveler, help jettison jet lag symptoms like sleeplessness by working with circadian dysrhythmia. Works; all homeopathic. 35 tablets -- good for about 50 hours flying time.
