[QUOTE="kaylfrazer, post: 61060, member: 254"] Strangely, after a month on the road, with only a little soap and oil of olay and tiny bit of a shampoo bar, my skin and hair were better than usual. I also found that my hair didn't grow as fast.. Usually it needs cutting every 5 - 6 weeks but this time I was able to wait a little longer. I did try waxing my legs before my first camino, thinking it would last longer than shaving .. my first and last time ever, as it was more painful than anything I met on the camino! In fact I wore zip off pants and never actually zipped the the bottoms off so it wasn't too big an issue. As for clothes.. yes to a light sports bra. I also took a very light sarong that I was able to wear as a skirt in the evening (as well as use as a pillowcase, shower curtain, picnic rug, curtain from my bunk etc). I am trying to find another one now for my next camino only to discover that they have vanished from the shops.. I may have to make one. For my first camino I had read somewhere that silk underwear would be breathable and comfortable and dry easily. Unable to buy any, I sewed some only to find that they did not stand up to daily hand washing and had to be replaced by Burgos. My camino luxury is a tiny sliver of really good soap. It won't last and I will probably lose it anyway but it is nice to start with! One suggestion, if you have any creams that you are not sure whether to take or not, you can put a small amount into a tiny ziplock bag and it will probably be OK and if you find you can live without it , it is easy to dispose of.
