The Ultimate Cheer Bag Essentials for Competition Day

When competition day hits, being prepared makes all the difference. From flawless hair to full energy, here's our curated list of must-have items to keep in your cheer bag:

  1. The Perfect Posh Cheer Ponytail:  Your go-to for a secure, polished look that stays put through full-outs and stunts. Our 100% human hair ponytail is color-matched and designed for performance.
  2. Healthy Snacks and Water: Stay fueled and hydrated throughout the day. Think granola bars, dried fruit, nuts, or crackers—easy to digest yet energizing so performance doesn’t suffer. Pro tip: bring more than you think you'll need to share with friends.
  3. Makeup Remover Wipes: After dozens of photos and under harsh stage lights, these become your best friend. Wipes help freshen your face between and remove makeup at day’s end.
  4. Extra Hair Ties and Bobby Pins: No one wants to worry about lost elastics or dropped bobby pins. Pack extras—especially clear elastics, spiral pins, and U-pins—to keep your hairstyle tight even if last-minute fixes are needed.
  5. Pain Reliever and First Aid Kit: Competitive routines can leave sore muscles or unexpected aches. Keep ibuprofen or acetaminophen on hand, plus band-aids, athletic tape, or mini ice packs for any minor mishaps.
  6. Portable Phone Charger
  7. Deodorant/Body Wipes/Chapstick: Stay fresh during breaks between routines. Light fragrance or deodorant pls lip care can make a big difference.
  8. Compact Mirror: Saves time in crowded bathroom lines and helps with touchups.
  9. Handsanitizer
  10. Mini Sewing Kit: Quick fixes for uniform malfunctions or repairs.

When competition day arrives, focus on slaying your routine—not scrambling for supplies. This list ensures you're ready for anything—from a falling hair tie to a sudden sore muscle. Pack smart, stay prepared, and let The Perfect Posh ponytail do the rest.
