Stay hydrated at cons! Electrolyte drinks are key to helping you stay hydrated all day at cons. Liquid IV is the best out of all the ones I’ve tried.

Nuun has a less intense flavor than other electrolyte drinks so it’s a good choice for people who struggle with the taste of electrolyte drinks.

Hairsprays often aren’t allowed in cons but you can bring in small bottles of got2b gel to help with wig touch ups.

Most cons use a badge system for tickets and you’ll need a lanyard for your badges. These Attack on Titan ones are durable and are great for accessorizing your comic con look.

Don’t let your cosplay slip midday! Use this tape to secure accessories in place (like harnesses) or use it to secure your clothes to your skin so you won’t have a nip slip.

The type of wig cap you use is up to your personal preference but I highly recommend the net ones. You’ll need to have lots of wig caps on hand during cons. They got lost really easily so have extras is important.
