Hygiene supplies are an essential part of good health and comfortable living. However, hygienic care is often the most over looked prep. Many may remember to get some extra rolls of toilet paper and a few tubes of toothpaste but what else should you include in your hygiene preps? Below are three different types of DIY Hygiene Kits and a checklist of ideas on what hygienic items to stock up on.

Humanitarian Hygiene Kit

Hygiene kits are such a necessary need that thousands are being shipped to Syrian refugees from many charitable organization such as Giving Children Hope, Mennonite Central, UNPD, and Heart to Heart. Each humanitarian hygiene kit is a little different but they all have similar list:

toothbrush, toothpaste, towel, soap, nail clippers, comb

This list is pretty basic which is worth considering when you are thinking about what you may want in your DIY hygiene kit. Keeping to the basic essentials can keep the weight and bulk limited which allows extra room for other important items in a bug out bag like food, water, and other essential items. We can learn a lot as we pay attention to the plight of the Syrian refugees.

Hygiene preps can vary widely based on what you are prepping for. For my bug out bag, I want the basics that will get me by for several days or weeks in any emergency situation. My mindset for my home emergency supplies is to gather 3 to 6 months worth of supplies in case retail shopping is no longer an option and in the event of a long term power outage.

Below is a list of the hygiene items I keep in my bug out bag and further down the page is a list of my home hygiene preps to help provide you with ideas to add to your emergency preparedness supplies.
