This one guy was a fake... Hardly knew anything about what my Character was from, treated me like I was weird when he was the fan who didn't know things, and just made the whole thing awkward. (Wanted a Photo with the Character I was Cosplaying. And yes I am wording it this way on purpose.) Don't be afraid to change your mind. If someone wants your Photo and you're uncomfortable for any reason, speak up. Don't let anyone keep an awkward Photo of you.. And don't inflate ego...Just politely get out of there.

I don't cosplay a lot but I always bring tape, superglue, a cutter and a lighter. Tape has saved a lot of cosplays, the cutter is great when you have to cut tape in small complex shapes or even drive out screws and the lighter has helped a lot of beginners who don't finish their hems to make lil knots and burn the ends of the threads so they don't float freely around. Superglue has also helped a lot of cosplayers, because in an emergency it can even hold fabric together and I use it even to close small cuts (I don't reccomend it unless you're used to accidents though). And deodorant... nobody should forget about it.

I boykott Thema though so it's No problem in my case and Ich settled for a similar content in my bag. Even though it's mostly digital by now, I also Bring some kind of map of the Location and the City the convention takes place in. So I know about stuff like restrooms or places to get food at. Also the good old ConHon is still a thing. But it basically serves the same purpose like Business Cards. (Or a nice journal of the time there)

I do something similar, and I'm just about to write about it on my local cosplay group site! Something a lot of people don't think about it vitamin drinks. I use Ener-C because it's all natural and especially in the summer, you need the vitamins and electrolytes, plus vitamin C helps boost immune systems to avoid getting sick after a con. It comes as a powder in little packets in a ton of different flavours, so I usually bring some of that. I also ALWAYS bring extra period products. Even if I don't think I'll need them, sometimes a friend will and not all washrooms provide things. I make sure to think of all the things that could happen, and what I'd need. Hairspray and some kind of detangling product can be good depending on the wig. I bring a travel sized dry shampoo and a comb when I wear long wigs like Hatsune Miku.

Great video! I'm also an experienced con-goer (year 11 for me this year at two of the three cons I do), so besides the gender-specific items and practices (I'm a guy) I usually pack that stuff too! I know travel to an out of state/country con wasn't really mentioned or discussed, but I also take my handheld video game consoles (i.e. my PS Vita and Nintendo 3DS XL, and if I ever get a case for it my Nintendo Switch), my laptop, as well as of course a super high capacity battery bank. Also a tip of my own, if you're gonna be bringing personal electronics always remember to bring your devices' power cords/chargers! Relying on a powerbank battery alone to charge your devices isn't a great thing to do, because a certain device might drain more power from it than you expect and you won't have enough juice left to charge your phone or tablet. Anyway, great video Anya! Do you ever attend cons in the US? I seem to remember you're British Columbia, Canada-based..

I make my own little travel sewing kit for emergencies. When you buy those travel container kits for airplanes they usually come with a bar soap container. I don't use bar soap so I convert it into the case for the sewing kit. Inside I put a couple different sizes of needles (stuck neatly through a little piece of cardstock), a tiny ziploc jewelry bag with 5 or so pins and few different sizes of safety pins, a bobbin of black thread and a bobbin of white, a small spool of embroidery thread (never know when you might need slightly heavier duty string), tiny scissors, a soft tape measure, and something to temporarily draw on fabric like chalk or an erasable fabric pencil. Fits nicely in the soap container and is very small and sturdy. Some super glue and a lighter could be useful too if you need a SUPER quick fix. You could also get a sewing kit from the dollar store but I find this is sturdier and I already have better quality things in my sewing table to put in it. I also tend to do the same with little first aid items like bandaids, gauze, alcohol pads, sting relief pads, etc. :)

I always bring extra food for a few reasons. 1) Food at cons is hella expensive, and the lines are always super long. It's best if you have something with protein you can just eat in case you can't get anything else. 2) Plenty of people that I go to cons with have special dietary needs, and they won't always be able to find food they can have. Plus pads or tampons, because even if you're not close, someone else might be, and that'd be a great opportunity to do something nice for someone else.

something to add into the makeup kit is oil blotting sheets. They get rid of the oil on your face without ruining your makeup. It helps to prevent your pores from getting clogged up due to putting powder over the oil. If you can't get any, the really thin toilet paper in most public bathrooms work but it could take off some of the makeup. 1 Ply tissue works too. Another thing to bring is FASHION TAPE!!! if you can't afford it, Double-sided tape works too. You never know when you need to stick a bit of fabric back into place, especially if you're wearing a more revealing cosplay as well.

I usually have the big bag and the mini bag when I go to a con haha In the big bag I have : food, drink, makeup repaire kit, sewing repaire kit, fan (if it's hot I'll put it in my mini bag) And in the mini bag : pads, deodorant, wallet, business card and phone charger etc How I work is that before con I pack everything in the big bag and then after check out, I put the stuff in the mini bag and let the big bag at the coat check of the con If I don't have that option then I just bring the big bag lol

I'm not going to lie, I've NEVER cosplayed in my life, but I've really been wanting to start just for fun, not to like do cons or anything, but this will be SUPER helpful just to have a little mini bag with me if I ever do go out in cosplay (when I finish my cosplay lol) thank you :D

Bandaids, Pads/Tampons, Miniature Repair kit (I have a compact one thatbhas thread, needles, pins, measuring tape, etc), my contact care bag!! I've started wearing contacts for almost every cosplay now cause I like to actually see at cons so I keep a little bag with my contact case, applicator and solution!

What I found to be an absolute livesafer and must-have is eyedrop-spray against dry eyes. It's basically eyedrops but in spray form that you apply while your eyes are closed so it's super easy and no makeup smudges occur! It helps so much when your contacts become dry and itchy!!

Also, always bring 'emergency bags'. I typically classify this as: a period pack containing: *pads *tampons *pantyliners *peroxide And a first aid kit containing: *bandaids *peroxide *cotton balls/pads *rubbing alcohol *neosporin *small water bottle

I've got a lot of the same things in my daily bag. Still thinking of how to trim that down since its a small/mid size back pack. Oh costume idea my BF gave me I thought you'd love to try. Well two ideas really, its characters swapping their rolls. Elsa from Frozen in the roll of Raven. And Raven in the roll of Elsa. I can't really work on these because for lent I opted to give up every thing Disney. That Circus/Drama leading up to Captain Marvel made me think I could do with out this crap (for a few weeks). So I'm trying not to think of how Elsa's "Let it Go" dress would look in a mixture of navy and midnight blues with sheer light gray silk cape, gold trim on the sleeves, belt, collar, a Skyrim like circlet with rubies in place of her bindi. Also some additional rubies an across her dress...

Another item and I dont know if anyone else put this but when you bring a power bank it is really helpful to buy one that comes with a wall plug installed. That way you can charge it in the hotel or wherever you can without having another wire to add to the list!
@mavnalysse5 жыл бұрын
You've got a great list. I tend to carry most of that, myself. A few other items I also take are: safety pins can be a huge help - I went through nearly an entire box helping other cosplayers one con. a tiny travel first aid kit - blisters are a pain when you forgot to break in your shoes. a small pocket game of some kind (like FLUXX) for something to do while your waiting for a panel to begin - it's even more fun if you get others in line to join you.

Personally, I always bring extra pads & tampons -- because my own period comes when it wants, no warning or routine, but also, other people MIGHT have an emergency. So I keep more than I need in my backpack. Also - a contact lens kit. By the end of the con my lenses tend to get dry & it makes me feel sleepy, so I make sure to bring the lens case at the very least. & lastly, idk if boys would feel up for this one, but if I'm wearing HEELS or something I tend to pack those little flats that kind of roll up. Or just flats !! my backpack is big anyways !!

This was actually really helpful; the two cons I've been to were really tricky when it came to carrying items and such because I literally went with just my wallet so thanks for the helpful run down! I really want to go to bigger conventions soon so if I was still unorganised it'd be a nightmare aha 💕

More things that you can/should bring: -Menstrual cycle tools (Sometimes they just come with no warning whether it be early or late, so I recommend this to anybody who goes through this cycle or is getting to that age where they start). And in another video she had stated that liners do help with sweaty armpits so that's a plus! -Contact solution and cases. Eye contacts can get dry easily which can be highly irritating so I suggest bringing a small traveling size bottle of solution or eye drops. Same thing goes for cases. And a comment that I saw on another video said that these cases are good for fake fangs whenever you need to eat or if you're just tired of wearing them. -If you're wearing glasses (real or fake) that are essential for your sight and/or cosplay then p l e a s e bring something that can fix them, I've had instances where my glasses drop whenever I forget to use those things that go behind your ear to keep the glasses on so when I'm in a crowd of people who are trying to get to a shoot or booth, it's kinda hard to try and make sure that nobody steps on them while I'm pretty much blind. So pLEASE bring super glue or something that can fix/stabilize them. And while this situation may e a bit rare, it's still better to be safe than sorry.

if your bringing sewing supplies, small emergency sewing kits are pretty cheap from any drug store. also, bring your thread on bobbins, they are much more compact than regular thread spools, and carry more thread than those teeny spools that come in your tiny sewing kit. also, you might need a pair of thread scissors.
