Packing for your trip can be quite a hassle, especially once it’s time to decide what to put inside your toiletry bag. If you’re trying to travel light, the number of toiletries you can bring along will be pretty limited, but our brief guide will help you pack everything you need without breaking a sweat.
Respect the Rules
If you’re only traveling with cabin luggage, the way you pack your toiletries makes all the difference. Keep in mind you shouldn’t bring containers larger than 100 ml, and they should all be packed inside a quart-sized bag.
Prevent Leaks
Even if you put your toiletries inside a sealed Ziploc bag, leaks can still happen, so consider sealing the caps with duct tape for extra security.
Travel-Sized Containers
Reusable travel-sized containers experienced a huge boom in recent years, and they deserve all the attention coming their way. Since small shampoos, conditioners, shower gels, and other toiletries tend to be pretty overpriced, travel-sized bottles can save you a fortune while allowing you to keep using your favorite products.
Buy What You Can
You can avoid packing toiletries if you’re embarking on a longer trip since it’s a much better option to buy what you need on the spot.
Free Samples
Packing toiletries isn’t always necessary, and you can avoid bringing some of them along if your hotel or Airbnb offers free samples for guests.
