Survivor contestants are allowed one luxury item (it cannot be a survival item such as a lighter, blanket, or a knife), and the approved clothes on their back that they wore to the island. Castaways do not, however, know when they are going to the island, and will often be tricked into thinking they are headed to a photoshoot, while actually landing on the campsite, hence why many Survivors will be wearing suits and dresses the first episode. Survivor Castaways cannot bring hygienic items such as soap, toothbrushes, or razors. If a Castaway appears clean shaven, they were probably waxed, or had lazer hair removal before the show began. The same goes with whitening their teeth. Feminine necessities, however, such as pads and tampons are supplied, as is contact solution, prescribed medications, condoms, and birth control. Castaways are strip-searched before entering the show so that nothing in smuggled in. Supplied items are not allowed to be used for anything other than its intended purpose (for example, in one season, pads were used as toilet paper). Sometimes through the season, bathing suits, shoes or other clothing items will be supplied to the Castaways, though this is rare.
