The monsoon season carries many infections, so having a hand sanitizer is better for your hygiene and health. Squeeze some out before eating, regularly during the day and you don't have to go to the washroom all the time.

Carrying a body spray or such may be quite handy, as the rain can make you smell a little bit stale. You may feel sticky, a little gross and sweaty so having a nice smelling item may be a little mandatory for you.
