The portable shower, essential when traveling and camping?
25 July 2024
When we go camping, one question arises, that of washing. So yes, washing is important, even essential. Camping or traveling in general should not compromise hygiene. However, we know that it can be difficult to take a shower outdoors. The portable shower is then one of the best solutions!
Explanations, what are they?
The portable shower, as its name suggests, is a small bag in which you put water, then hang it up to be able to shower. It is ideal for camping, bivouac or other outdoor activities such as hiking and trekking. With such an accessory it is possible to shower and wash anywhere and at any time, as long as there is a water point available.
When to use it?
Of course it is used when washing and taking a shower. But it is especially useful when traveling outdoors. When you camp, unless you are in a fully equipped campsite you don’t necessarily have a bathroom available. The portable shower being mobile, fits in your backpack or suitcase, and can therefore be taken out at any time!
Which model to choose?
There are several models of portable showers. The classics, which are like a water bag, and the more complex ones like solar models which can heat the water. You must choose the model according to your expectations and needs. The solar model is ideal if you are cold and showering with cold water is not possible for you.
What capacity?
Because when you purchase you will have to choose the capacity of your portable shower. If 10L is sufficient for a person traveling alone and able to fill the bag whenever they want, I nevertheless recommend at least 20L for a solo trip, and 40L for a trip with several people. Beyond that, it’s far too heavy and cumbersome.
How to clean it?
Because maintenance is important! You will need to clean your Portable Solar Shower Bag for Camping and Travel. I recommend cleaning at least once a week. To do this, empty the bag, clean with soap, rinse, dry then it’s done. Nothing’s easier. Note that you will need a good opening.
Accessories ?
You will need some accessories to be able to wash outdoors with this type of shower. Starting with a hook, perhaps a hose or shower, and why if you want a little privacy, a shower tent (see here).
