Carrying full-size bottles of shampoo, conditioner or face wash can take up unnecessary space in your luggage and risk leaks. A practical alternative is to use small, travel-sized containers designed for liquids. Mini screw-cap jars or soft silicone travel pods are ideal: they are leak-proof, reusable and easy to fill with just the amount you need for a short trip or a beach day. This way, you only carry what you will actually use, keeping your bag light and organised.
For solid products like soap, balm or lotion bars, you can cut them into small portions and store them in a compact container or a small tin. These options are eco-friendly, mess-free and far more reliable than trying to repurpose items like contact lens pods, which are not designed to hold liquids securely. With these practical solutions, you can travel light without sacrificing hygiene or convenience.
