Pinch Provisions’ Minimergency Kit

Being caught in a personal hygiene jam while traveling is never an enjoyable experience. Even if you’re facing what seems like an everyday conundrum, you’re without your usual modes of protection and problem solving, as all you have is a suitcase full of the most basic necessities. The next time you travel, consider tossing into your day bag one of Pinch Provisions’ Minimergency Kits, a small, lightweight bag stocked with a few extra amenities that can help you when you are “in a pinch.”

The kit comes in both men’s and women’s varieties, with 13 items in the men’s bag and 17 items in the women’s bag. The Minimergency Kit for Him measures 4 inches by 1 inch by 2.5 inches (nearly the size of a deck of cards) and contains personal care items such as breath freshener, an adhesive bandage, extra buttons, dental floss and separate cleansing towelettes for your shoes, hands, fabric stains and your underarms. The men’s kit costs $14 and is available in a silver mustache tin.

The Minimergency Kit for Her comes in four colors (mint, white, onyx and red) and measures 3.5 inches by 2 inches by 2 inches. The kit helps women stay fresh on the go with hair spray, a tampon, clear nail polish, earring backs, double-sided tape, hair elastics and lip balm. Small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, the women’s kit costs $18.
