The Importance of Hydrating - Women's Health
Staying hydrated while hiking is essential for anyone, regardless of gender. However, women may have additional reasons to ensure they are well-hydrated while hiking.
One of the more insightful but concerning trends we've noticed talking to female hikers is their admittance to limiting their water intake while hiking or engaging in other outdoor activities due to a fear of having to urinate in the wilderness. This can lead to health issues such as annoying and painful urinary tract infections. Ouch!
Prioritize your hydration needs and plan for bathroom breaks while hiking. This may involve researching bathroom locations along the trail, carrying a portable toilet or biodegradable TP, selecting appropriate areas to relieve oneself while minimizing environmental impact, and wearing your Zip Hers!
Therefore, it is important for women to prioritize hydration while hiking by drinking plenty of fluids before, during, and after their hike. It is recommended to bring at least 2 liters of water for a full day of hiking and to drink water regularly, even if you do not feel thirsty.
