#Dramamine #BlogHer #BlogHer17 #KeepMoving #ad

Ever since I was a kid, flying in a plane has made me nervous. I honestly think it’s a number of things, including being scared of heights, having no control over the plane and not really understanding how a huge plane can stay in the air thousands of feet off the ground. Even though I get nervous, I still do it when I’m traveling long distances.

While these things I mentioned above make me nervous, there is one other thing that makes me nervous about flying – the fear of motion sickness kicking in while I’m in the air! Thankfully, I haven’t yet experienced the dreaded act of puking up my guts into a small paper bag surrounded by strangers, but I have experienced the lightheadedness and nausea that goes along with motion sickness. My youngest son unfortunately inherited this trait from me and he always throws up when he gets motion sickness. I’m so glad there is Dramamine®Non-Drowsy Naturals to help alleviate the motion sickness symptoms. In fact, it’s is my go-to motion sickness preventative medicine that I take whenever I’m traveling – and it works! Dramamine® is America’s number one over-the-counter brand for the treatment and prevention of motion sickness, so I know the products will work and fast.

#Dramamine #BlogHer #BlogHer17 #KeepMoving #ad

For those of you who are unfamiliar, Dramamine® Non-Drowsy Naturals is the first non-drowsy solution for motion sickness from Dramamine®, the leading brand for motion sickness. One dose contains the full clinically tested ginger dosage for the prevention and treatment of motion sickness. Since it’s made from natural ginger, Dramamine® Non-Drowsy Naturals is safe to use every day you travel.

 

Dramamine® Non-Drowsy Naturals should be taken 30 minutes before starting an activity or at the onset of symptoms to help prevent or relieve the nausea and vomiting associated with motion sickness. So if I’m traveling by plane, I like to take it when I’m waiting in the seating area prior to boarding the plane.

Later this month, I’ll be heading to Orlando, Florida for BlogHer ’17 and I will definitely have my Dramamine® Non-Drowsy Naturals on hand when I fly, as I’ve had a history of motion sickness. I can’t wait to meet up with brands and bloggers at this fun conference, as well as the things I’ll learn while I’m there. I know that Dramamine® will get me there feeling comfortable without motion sickness!

 

To learn more about Dramamine® and the varieties available, be sure to follow their social accounts on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

5 Things to Bring When You’re Traveling By Plane!

1 – Dramamine® Non-Drowsy Naturals – this helps battle my motion sickness, making the flight much more enjoyable. I always have it on hand when I travel. Save $1.00 on Dramamine products HERE.

2 – Chewing gum – this helps to clear your ears when cabin pressure changes in the plane.

3 – Lip balm – to keep your lips moisturized. With the air running the entire flight, your lips can get pretty dry and chapped, so put some moisture back in them with lip balm.

4 – Cash or credit card– you’ll want cash or credit card on hand if you’ll be ordering snacks or drinks. Sometimes you’ll even have the option to purchase headphones if you forgot to bring them in the plane with you.

5 – Water and snacks – you can buy them in the airport or on the plane, but they are less expensive in the airport. I like to have pretzels and water on hand as they also help my ears to clear when we’re taking off from the airport. You can use Telephone contact Tap Portugal if you need help modifying your reservation.

What do you make sure to have on hand when you’re traveling by plane? Tell me in the comments for a chance to win!

  18. candy says:

    I have only ever used dramamine for when we were out on the water. Thinking I need to try it when we are on a road trip and the hilly and curvy roads make me feel ill. Flying doesn’t bother me. We always use credit card to buy snacks they never want to take cash.

    I have never been on a plane so I have no idea what I would bring.

  59. Ann Fantom says:

    I have have to have earbuds to listen to the movie or music on my phone

  60. Eloise says:

    great list! glad there’s a motion sickness supplement that’s non-drowsy for those who need it, such as yourself! I always bring gum on a plane, ever since I heard it help with the take off and landing to make your ears not pop by increasing altitude too fast!

  61. Sandy Klocinski says:

    Undergarments, shoes, a set or two of regular clothes, entertainment, medication and, for longer flights, basic toiletries.

  62. Lip balm is sooo essential! Who wants to fly with dry lips?! Not I! Snacks are also essential!

    Last time i flown was over 15 years ago. Im scared of heights ..it wasnt too bad though

  66. David Hollingsworth says:

    I have never been on a plane, but if I did, I would probably bring some hand sanitizer. You have to be cautious, because you obviously have no idea who sat in your seat before you, or use the armrest also before you.

  67. Jessica To says:

    I would have to bring a book to occupy myself.

  68. Wendy R. says:

    I bring a magazine and a tablet with some movies on it.

  72. Linda Lansford says:

    I use it on the boat

  73. Victoria Heckstall says:

    I used this especially when we will travel with the cruise. I would love to bring snacks and pillow too.

  74. Karlyn Cruz says:

    I bring some foods, tablet and earphone love listening music while on travel.

  75. Rebecca Swenor says:

    This is a great list of items to bring when you are traveling on a plane. I don’t fly much at all but I would take the Dramamine next time I do. This can be used for many things too. I do believe I have used it when I had vertigo. Thanks for sharing the list.

  76. Lynndee says:

    Chewing gum! We have a trip coming and I need to put that on the list. Thanks for the reminder!

  77. Dramamine has accompanied me on many flights! My vertigo kicks in quite often and being that high up in the air makes it even worse.

  78. OFG says:

    Tylenol in case I get a headache.

    • Jillian C says:

      Yes!!! bring Tylenolo, aspirin/acetaminophen/caffeine combo, or whatever is your preferred headache remedy. If you buy at at the airport, it’s horrendously expensive. It was almost fifteen dollars for four tablets once when I needed it at an airport.

  84. Emily R. says:

    I make sure to have Dramamine, Kleenex & a good book.

  102. These are great! I Love flying but some of these I didn’t even think of!

  103. Amy Tong says:

    Nice job guys. I travel quite a bit and honestly you had a pretty nice list. Great travels and great to you two.

  235. RVNeed says:

    I recommend not putting your sunglasses or breakable items (mirror) in your carry on suitcase but rather in your backpack. If your carry on falls the items may break ALL over your clothes. Also, you may have to check your bag in because there’s no overhead space, and if you pack those items they will get smashed by other suitcases as they toss them in the airplane!! Also, pack your liquids in the bottom of your suitcase and in the event that they spill, your liquids won’t spill from the top of your carry on to the bottom but the mess will stay on the bottom. Also, pack a set of reusable utensils if you have them so that you avoid single use items that will go to the landfill! Thanks for your sharing…

  236. Tool AIM says:

    Bring an empty bottle, go through security, fill it at a water fountain usually located near the bathrooms, go on you flight and stay hydrated
