Toiletry Availability

fitzy_b · Oct 27th, 2007, 10:29

1. How accessible are: shampoo, conditioner, condoms? I'm flying into Mumbai where i'm guessing these things won't be a problem (correct me if i'm wrong), and what what about smaller places?

2. Do budget hotels generally provide shampoo, conditioner, towels?

3. Do budget hotels generally have westers toilets and paper?

Thanks all.

1. Very easily available. Even in smaller places you will get shampoo (in single use sachets), but conditioner will be a problem in small places. Cities, easily available.

2. Generally, no, though some/many may provide towels

3. Paper, no. Western toilets, rarely except maybe in large cities.

These things are easily available all over, even in small towns but you may not find the desired brand except big cities.

Clinik brand is shampoo + conditioner; I don't require another product when I use it.

It is possible to find low-price hotels with Western toilets, but in most cases you must provide your own loo paper, which is readily available from street stalls and chemist shops.

Garnier personal care products are also available everywhere, but I'd suggest trying the Himalayan Herbals stuff. It's top notch, waaay better.

... As for condoms, readily available again at any chemist's as far as I know.

Even in Budget hotels you get towels most of times, but you may have to ask for them. Sometimes even the little soap and shampoo packages are provided.
