Forget the influencer airport bag — here's what two corporate girls are packing this summer.
We've all been down the rabbit hole. A creator posts their "what's in my airport bag" and it's basically a Sephora haul - 47 products, all gifted, all with a 12-step tutorial. Meanwhile you're standing at the gate asking yourself: do I actually need my gua sha at 35,000 feet?
The answer is no. You don't.
But there are a few things that are genuinely a no-brainer — and this month, your ladibug box just gave you one of them.
Your July Subscriber Surprise: Cleansing Wipes by Sense
Say hello to your new travel non-negotiable!!
Sense wipes are feminine cleansing wipes that are pH-balanced, flushable, and honestly the kind of thing you don't know you need until you've had them in your bag on a six-hour flight. Whether you're freshening up mid-journey, post-layover, or just feel like you need a reset before you land — these are it. Just grab one, go, and feel human again.
They're small enough to tuck anywhere and the kind of item that, once it's in your bag, you'll never travel without.
What Brooke Actually Packs
-
Skincare. Her Abbode bag has three things: a Summer Fridays spray, a mini Cetaphil cleanser, and Sense wipes. That's it. Full-on skincare routines or face masks on a plane? Brooke doesn't get it. "I feel so greasy and gross, so I'd rather wait until we land and can shower."
-
Peppermint Oil!! An anxious flyer's secret weapon. A little on the wrists and behind the ears, and suddenly the turbulence feels less catastrophic lol.
-
A good book. Brooke is about to fly to London and she’s packed Shoe Dog by Phil Knight and The Correspondent by Virginia Evans.
-
Her laptop. For ladibug, obvi.
-
A giant water bottle. Brooke says that the thing she hates most about flying is feeling dehydrated.
-
Creatine + Hydralytes. “I know a massive eye roll but I listened to a podcast with a creatine expert, who said that creatine is great to have if you are on a long haul flight”
-
Compression Socks. After a ladibug lounge event with Jackie Sklaver, Brooke became a compression sock convert. Lymphatic drainage and circulation is important!!
What Vibha Actually Packs
-
Two laptops — work and personal
-
Eadem Le Chouchou Lip Balm — non-negotiable, the plane air will get you
-
Dr. Bronner's Hand Sanitizer
-
Compression socks — She was influenced after that one Succession episode but also, shoutout Jackie Sklaver
-
Wallet (ID only) + house keys
-
Wired headphones AND over-ear noise-cancelling headphones
-
One tampon — because you never know. You just never know
-
Owala water bottle — hydration hydration hydration
-
Chomps — for the mid-air cravings
-
Every charger she's ever owned
-
Sense wipes + panty liners — especially for cross-country or long-haul flights. It's like taking a mini shower and she switches them out mid-flight so she doesn't feel gross when she lands.
The Common Thread?
Both bags are from girls who are busy, slightly chaotic, and always on the go. But most importantly — two NYC girls who are not influencers. No gifted hauls, no sponsored routines.
Sense wipes earn theirs every single time - throwing a pack of them into your carry-on is the move this summer. pH-balanced, flushable, and genuinely useful.
Find your Sense wipes in your July Ladibug subscriber box — and yes, you're going to want to stock up before your next trip. ✈️
