When travelling to multiple countries or bringing more than just your iPhone 4S then the best international travel adapter for Slovenia to buy is a multiple USB adapter which includes compatible plugs like a 4 port USB travel charger. Slovenes use two different types of power outlets (F and C) and using a power adapter like this will ensure that you are covered for type C.
Because these types of chargers come with interchangeable pins and can handle from 100 - 240 volts it makes them ideal for multiple countries around the world simply by changing the included plugs over. If your iPhone 4S can support Fast Charge then you'll benefit from much faster charging times by using one of these types of power adapters and additional support for certain power hungry devices. This will also allow you to power more than one device at the same time without needing to pack individual travel chargers or occupying additional wall sockets. Only packing a single USB travel charger will also keep the weight and size down, making it ideal to fold up and store in hand luggage. Due to their space saving versatility these types of chargers can be used back at home not just abroad so when you’re not travelling they can sit under your bedside table charging multiple tablets, phones and e-readers without needing an additional wall outlet.
