Water Retention - Holiday

7 replies

TheMumEdit · 18/06/2025 19:44

I suffer really bad from water retention on holiday - usually first 5 days. Clothes are uncomfortable and I feel rotten. I don’t drink alcohol and have plenty of water and exercise.

Considering taking water tablets this year to help ease it. Has anyone done this or can offer any other advice?

Hopefully someone will have tips! It’s not just my ankles. It’s my whole body.

I’ve heard excellent reviews on the electrolytes you can buy from Will powders . They come in little sachets so handy for travelling. I’m the same always swell and retain so much water as soon as I get on a plane and then the hot weather. I’m going to stock up before my holiday I think

Try the Pukka radiance tea. The nettle releases water for me.

@Arumtitum I’ll look into those, thanks
