Emergency Sanitation- Hygiene Supplies

Besides being able to drink without trouble, sanitary needs such as flushing the toilet and washing up are among what we miss most when there is a power outage.  Regardless of whether you are on a city or community water system, or have your own well, pumps are necessary to deliver the water and pumps are powered by electricity.  A family’s sanitary requirements can quickly become desperate if you have not taken steps to provide for this beforehand.  When an emergency or disaster has caused an interruption of water service, you will have to deal with sanitation quickly.

Even if you have a supply of emergency water on hand, you will probably want to save this for drinking and cooking.  This is precisely where Self Heating Wash Cloths can be so useful.  These self-heating cloths can actually take the place of a shower.  Personal hygiene kits for both men and women can help you to feel much more civilized when it’s impossible to bathe in the usual way.  Another kit that will help you feel more like yourself is the Clear Solution Personal Hygiene Kit.  Besides emergency use, these kits would also be useful when traveling or when on a camping trip.

While no one really likes to talk about it, one of the worst things to have to manage during an emergency is human waste.  Your toilet will be unusable, and it will be necessary to provide a temporary one.  We have several solutions that will help you get through this phase of an emergency crisis more easily.  An excellent choice is the Port-A-Pottie.  This temporary toilet comes with a seat and lid and the basic unit can be made even more practical by adding Toilet Bags and Port-A-Pottie Chemicals. 

Emergencies are not the only time when sanitary kits and items can prove useful, traveling and outdoor expeditions can leave you far from the means to stay fresh and clean.  Those who travel a good deal can appreciate the convenience of Toilet Seat Covers to keep you safe from communicable disease.  The Restop 2 will also be invaluable for taking care of your needs when traveling long stretches between facilities.

Those visiting the outdoors will appreciate our Campers Solar Shower.  Keeping clean in the backwoods can present problems – who looks forward to an icy dip in a mountain stream – but this easy to carry shower will help you take a comfortable shower using the heat of the sun.  Holding 5 gallons of water, this shower will allow several people to bathe before it needs to be refilled.
