The Complete Guide to Carry on Travel Toiletries

Your skill at refilling toothpaste is incredible!

Great tip about transferring toothpaste.

Can you tell me more about those tiny, Japanese condom bottles? How many condoms do they hole? Seem a bit impractical. Can you still just carry regular condom packs? Thanks. Bahahahahahahahahahaa! Love your channel!

So many awesome tips. Thank you!

Suggest for toothpaste: Theraneem Naturals Neem Tooth and Gum Powder, available in 40gm bottle

Travel with the toothpaste tablets and then pick up a small toothpaste when you land. But at least you'll have something in case you don't find it.

Shein has a TON of these travel bottles in varying sizes,shapes, colors,etc.

Take plastic cling wrap, cut a small square, and put it over the bottles before you put your lid on it. It works on any size of liquids, from skincare, makeup, cooking oils, marinades etc, to take them anywhere.
I did this when I was in the hospital from breaking my ankle, and it worked perfectly.

Greetings, after viewing many of your great educational videos, I’d realized that if staying prolonged time in netherlands, it’s best I omit toiletries 🤔thanks for great videos

I use echo dent extra bright powder toothpaste. I love the way my mouth feels after I use it

Believe or not but I use Dr Brewerns to brush my teeth. Works great!

Omg you move drugstore to your bag 😂.

I make my own tiny soap bars by cutting up a bar of soap then put the pieces in a plastic bag then use a piece at each hotel stay then toss. I stay in 2-4 places per trip.

Love the storage hacks! Some more options (I'm a brown woman with waist long wavy hair):
Tushy Travel bidet
Ethique Curl shampoo & conditioner, body soap and moisturizer bars
Leaf Twig Razor without the blades (don't care about shaved legs while hiking 😂)
Menstrual Disc/Thinx
All good sunscreen tin
Fat and Moon kohl and colored lip balm
Ilia skin tint (extra spf and covers up the slight white cast from the all good)
Allegra, Alleve, Paracetamol, Tincture Iodine, Salt, Sugar and Turmeric (fever, allergies, ors, stomach upset, leeches, bee stings, scrapes)
Loose Sweater Dress (mini changing room 🤌🏽)
Dropps Laundry and Dishwasher Pods

Unneccessary. Buy the stuff at destination.

A cheap a*s option for solid laundry soap is Zote soap. It's a couple bucks and will last you FORever. Just peel or cut off the amount you need. It's got real surfactants in it, so you don't need much.

A solution for toothpaste is to use actual regular toothpaste!

Tear off a 6–9” section of foil, and lightly sprinkle with baking soda (just enough to be nonstick).

Squeeze little pea sized amounts of toothpaste onto it, then let them “set-up” for a couple hours.

Sprinkle the tops with a bit of baking soda, then dust them off and store them.

Homemade tooth tabs that work just as well as toothpaste, because they ARE toothpaste.

I just wet my brush, then set a tab on the brush, run it under water and wait for a minute.

Then I run it under water again and brush. Voila!

For soap I've started combining a soap pouch with the Sistema waterproof case. The pouch keeps the soap from being a sloppy mess inside the case. Best of both worlds.

I’m going to Thailand for a month. I have to take 11 prescriptions and 9 vitamins. Also that takes a lot of room.

I’m so happy to see u have the crystal deodorant! lol I love it!

Any small bottle can be made leak-proof. Take a small piece of something like Glad Press and Seal and put it over the bottle opening. Then screw the cap back on. Never had a leak doing this and when you open the bottle, just put the Press and Seal on the outside of the bottle until you’re ready to sue it again.

What about the travel bottle set they sell in the stores? The plastic round bottle with the small containers you can put vaseline in.

Do you recommend Johnson & Johnson baby shampoo for washing merino wool t-shirts?

Do you have a recommendation for a travel hair/beard trimmer that is USB-C rechargeable?

I appreciate your very thorough review of the products. Found some gems for sure!

Atchtek toothpaste tabs work great for me. One is plenty, and I even sometimes use only 1/2 of a tab.

I’m always looking for ways to downsize and pack more lightly. Unfortunately, I love all my toiletries! You’ve shown some great ideas here and I may even try some solids…..thanks. You’ve gained a new subscriber! 🌺 Mary in Florida

I’ve been using bite “toothpaste” tablets for the past couple of months. They work well for me especially on my sensitive teeth.

Toothpaste tabs from the brand Bite are pretty good. Gets the job done.

Please for the love of God people just wear regular deodorant. That mineral stuff doesn't work

If this is the only problem you have then you’re doing ok 🙄🙄

Where do you find the info on what type of bag they require?

Tru Earth laundry strips work for hand washing as well as machines.
They took grease out of a pair of pants I spilt food on.
Also, shampoo bars are not good in areas with hard water.
Last year in N. Italy I gave up trying to use one and bought shampoo instead.

I also swear by Go Tubs!
The smallest ones hold a huge amount of what you need!

I don’t like Go- Toobs…..they leak and are really hard to clean.
I found cheap dollar store ones that are way better.

For estimating how much I need of everything, I fill up,all my little containers a month before I leave, and use those every day instead of my usual home containers.
Then I can see how long each tiny container actually lasts.

Great video, thank you!

Wow I had no idea you could refill toothpaste.

Matador has a new toothpaste holder that is refillable. Whilst I also prefer to refill my mini toothpaste tubes it might be a solid option for frequent travelers. No Pong (Australian) makes a great anti-oderant in a perfect size travel tin that lasts a month. Well done on an informative video!

Great video! Thank you.

I use Hello tablets for toothpaste. They clean really well and taste ok. My hygienist said it was the best check up ever.

Great video! Very thorough. I try to pack mostly solid toiletries for our long-term travels. There are just a couple liquids like contact solution that I bring. I personally like Uncle Harry’s Tooth Powder. It has a nice fresh feel. And I’ve had luck restocking laundry detergent sheets at zero-waste stores. Although, I do also like concentrated detergent such as Unicorn Beyond Clean. 🌺✈️ Heidi

Looking to reduce liquids. Does anybody have any experience with a laundry sheet that is good with merino wool?

Thanks! Great tips!!

Hi, baking soda is the best non-liquid toothpaste for a very fresh clean feeling.

I got a tip for leaky bottles and it has worked well for me. You cover a piece of clingfilm/saran wrap over the mouth and screw back the cap. If the cap is not removable, np either, just open the flap, apply the film over the opening and cover back the cap flap. If your wrap is filmsy, maybe double layer it and just cut it into the desired size before using.

Also the important note that some airports allow less than the standard TSA size!!!

If you can find it, Fels Naptha is an old school laundry bar. I have seen it in hardware stores and places like Fleet Farm. It's inexpensive ($1.50 for a bar) and huge. You could cut it in to chunks for a trip. It actually works really well. I was surprised when I used it to wash socks in a sink. They came out cleaner than at home in my washing machine.

Miswak is actually pretty good to cut weight or go without liquids.... one stick usually lasts me for about 2weeks

When it comes to washing clothes while traveling, I just bring the same washing powder I use at home.

As an overnighter interstate, I travelled with minimum items. I found some items at our discount stores that were just right. 1 was a 2 piece 3 bladed disposable razor along with small roll on deodorants. A shaving stick lathered up just fine as 90% of hotels / motels provide toiletries. I use the travel versions of deodorants / colognes / toothpaste. If I lose them or they were confiscated - I do not care. With mouthwash, we have the Listerine Tabs that disolve in your mouth so I just add a glass of water.

Ohhhhh!! I never thought it was that easy to refill the mini toothpastes. Almost finished up one and will try it now!

Distracted by too much upspeak.
