1. A flat fanny pack that's slim and discreet enough to fit under your clothes, so you can keep your cards, cash, and other important essentials hidden away from potential pickpockets. It also features RFID blocking to keep your information from being scanned! Promising review : "Discreet yet spacious.
I purchased this for a recent trip. I was able to fit my phone, passport, credit cards, and cash in it easily, and it wasn’t bulky or obvious under my clothing . It was comfortable to wear for extended periods of time.
" — KailensMom Get it from Amazon for $15.95 (available in 21 styles and two sizes). 2.
A travel pillow you can stuff with clothes to free up space in your carry-on! It's designed to fit up to fit up to three days' worth of outfits, and reviewers say it's surprisingly comfortable. This might be the ultimate packing hack you didn't know you needed. Tube is a small business that specializes in uniquely designed storage travel pillows.
Promising review: "I bought this looking to both save space and gain comfort for those long airplane rides. I was pleasantly surprised that they worked so well and fit so much into them while not sacrificing baggage space. I could fit at least a full day's worth of clothes in it.
Also works well if you have one of those backpacks with the attachment clip and loop system as you can use this as a strap to avoid purchasing another carry-on bag from airlines." — Victor Tolentino Get it from Amazon for $49.95 .
3. Or a Trtl travel pillow if you need a little extra neck support. This one loops around you like a scarf and has support bands on the side to keep your head upright but still comfy.
No more accidentally leaning on the person next to you!!! Promising review: "I love this TRTL!! I first used it on a trip from Seattle to Buenos Aires and will now always use it. It made it possible for me to be comfortable on that long flight. I found it to be the best neck support in how it holds up my neck in a comfortable natural way.
I love how I can use it on either side of my neck and even in the front and back of my neck. I love how I can cover my face to just below my eyes if I want privacy. It is cozy, lightweight, durable, and packs easily, or I can wrap it around my carry bag handle for quick transport.
I bought one for a friend who took it on a Seattle to New York flight, and she said it was a game changer for her as she was able to sleep for the first time while flying . Now I know that with my TRTL and Bose noise-cancelling headphones , I can be cramped in a middle seat on a long flight and survive in relative comfort. Thank your TRTL!!! I just bought another one for a gift for my daughter.
It is a well-designed product!" — Amis Balcomb Get it from Amazon for $64.99+ (available in five colors). 4.
Or!!! An absolutely genius memory foam pillow that attaches to your seat's headrest to keep you upright while you're getting some much-needed shut-eye on that overnight flight. If you tend to lean forward or to the side and startle yourself awake during every flight — this is the answer you've been looking for. Promising review: "This neck wrap pillow saved my life on two separate nine-hour flights.
It kept my neck AND head supported. When I fall asleep on a plane/train/car, my chin and head drop. This neck support 'system' kept both completely supported and stable.
Attaching this gizmo to the seat is a brilliant design. It was easy to attach the straps to my seat. Wrapping and attaching it around my neck was a breeze.
" — Linda M. Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in seven colors).
5. An insulated water bottle carrier with extra compartments for other essentials, so it's basically the only travel bag you'll need while out and about on your actual vacay. You'll never have to worry about finding an overpriced bottle of water and having to carry it around all day.
Promising review: "Very handy when traveling or at the gym! I got this one after getting a different brand that is smaller. I love the extra pockets on this and the roomie section for ANY water bottle or a smaller water bottle and other stuff. The zipped pocket holds my iPhone Max just fine .
Just took this on a cruise, and several people commented wishing they had one . So much easier than a backpack or something for your water bottle." — Judy Get it from Amazon for $17.
99+ (available in 14 colors). 6. A hard-shell roller suitcase with a super helpful laptop pocket in the front so you can quickly take it out while going through security without holding up the line.
It also features TSA-approved locks for any valuables in the main compartment and a USB port so you can easily use your portable charger to power up your phone if you wasted all your battery watching Emily In Paris on your way to Paris. Promising review: "This is my first time buying a 'fancier' suitcase, and I love it so far! I took it with me on a trip to NYC for work and used it as a carry-on. I was easily able to lift it up, and it fit very well in the overhead bins.
A lot of people were asked to gate check, but as this bag met the requirements, I was able to bring it on all my American Airlines flights. I love the inside design with the different pockets and that my packing cubes easily fit. I had enough clothes and work items for four days and could easily have fit more, at least for a week! Also, it comes with a laundry bag, as I had forgotten mine.
I highly recommend it. I think it will last me for a long time!" — Marie C. Get it from Amazon for $199.
95 (available in three colors and two other sizes/styles). 7. And an underseat suitcase that's not quite a backpack, not quite a full-size carry-on.
It has all the compartments and spacious pockets you'd expect of a backpack, but it rolls just like a sleek carry-on and still has plenty of room for clothes. Best of all, it fits right under your seat, so it's perfect for those flights where you're only allowed a personal item. (Hi, Spirit!) Promising review : "This works out so well for me.
I’m a flight attendant, and I’ve had an infinite amount of day trips over the summer. I got tired of carrying around my regular TravelPro spinner, so I finally ordered this. SOOOOO MUCH BETTER FOR ME.
It’s light, has enough pockets, and can easily fit under a seat if needed. The ONLY picky thing I can think of is how loud it sounds going across rough concrete. The wheels aren’t as silent as others, but that won’t stop me from buying another in the future.
" — Kayla T Get it from Amazon for $48.67+ (available in four colors). 8.
And!! A spacious duffel you can unfold into a full garment bag so you can easily pack long dresses and suits to avoid wrinkles. There's even an extra compartment for shoes, a separate laptop pocket, and other small pockets for other essentials. Everything will be perfectly in its place, and you'll be the sharpest dressed person on vacay! Beauty Goodies is a small business that specializes in chic storage and travel accessories.
Promising review: "This garment bag is an exceptional value for the money. Well built, top quality materials, including 'beefy' zippers, should hold up well for airline travel. Minimal wrinkles, if any, in garments, and a cavernous bag for storing shoes and other items for a trip.
Added bonus: it fits easily in the plane overhead storage and is similar in size to a standard roller bag . I highly recommend this product." — Kindle Customer Get it from Amazon for $49.
89+ (available in three colors). 9. A set of reusable bottle bags if you plan on taking home some wine or liquor (or maybe just an exclusive regional soda) in your checked luggage but are terrified it'll explode and leave a mess everywhere.
These bags keep your bottles safe and secure — and they even absorb spills! JetBag is a small business specializing in creating bags to protect your wine and your stuff. It's designed with absorbent padding on the inside, so in the event that the bottle breaks, it won't get everywhere in your luggage. Promising review: "Bought to bring wine from France home from vacation.
We bought three bottles (one of which was champagne). All three made it on the Eurostar and two flights in perfect condition." — Katie Get a set of three from Amazon for $13.
99+ (available in four colors/styles). 10. A memory foam hammock you can hang from your tray table so you'll have a place to kick your feet up on long flights.
Reviewers say it helps ease lower-back pain when sitting for hours at a time, and it's light enough to easily pack in your carry-on. Your fellow passengers will be so jealous. Promising review: "Amazing! My feet get so swollen on flights and I just flew to Germany.
With this, there was NO swelling or soreness, and I even slept better than the last time I had an international flight! I didn't have to get up and walk every hour. Seriously, AMAZING! Fit nicely in my backpack but could tie it to a carry-on if needed." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $14.
99 (also available in packs of two and four). 11. A memory foam seat cushion that folds up for easy portability — you'll probably be tempted to take this everywhere you go.
When unfolded, you can place both sides on the seat or use one half as a lower-back cushion! Promising review: "I have tried a variety of cushions to help me with my painful tailbone issue. My problem is finding one acceptable for traveling, especially on airplanes. This one has proved to be the best and easily transportable.
Fits perfectly on the airline seats I have used. Highly recommend." — LongIslander-inTX Get it from Amazon for $43.
19 (also available in two other styles/colors). 12. A jewelry organizer so you can bring your collection of rings, necklaces, and bracelets without them ending up in a tangled pile at the bottom of your bag.
There's even an earring grid and small pouches for hairpins and other random accessories, and it folds up into a super compact pouch for easy portability! Promising review: " This is perfect for traveling. I got the smaller size because it looked like it held a good amount, and it does! I wear a decent amount of jewelry every day and like to have different pieces and it held everything I wanted to pack. It is also very cute and doesn't take up much space at all.
Love it." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in two sizes and 12 colors and patterns).
13. A universal travel adapter you can use in over 160 countries — because nothing is more annoying than realizing you forgot to bring the right adapter. You can use it to charge up several devices at a time, so you can have your phone, power bank, laptop, and AirPods charging at once! But remember that this is not a voltage converter ! Promising review: "I am a digital nomad, so I travel full-time around the world.
I have a lot of devices to charge (laptop, Kindle, phone, backup battery, portable Wi-Fi device, camera, the list goes on). A lot of times, hostel bunks or hotel rooms only have one outlet, and with the previous adapter I was using, I had to charge one device at a time. I used to literally set my alarm to wake up in the middle of the night and switch devices so that I could get more than one device fully charged overnight.
I did my research finally and settled on this one because it is universal and has four USB ports. What a GAME CHANGER. On my latest trip, I was able to charge all my devices at once, and it made traveling so much smoother.
It seems well made and good quality, too. Definitely recommend for my digital nomad and traveling peers. Happy travels! :)" — Maggie A.
Get it from Amazon for $18.95+ (available in two colors). 14.
And a plane-shaped USB port that magically turns one USB port into four! OK, maybe it's not magic, but it is ridiculously handy when you need to charge your phone, laptop, phone, and AirPods all at the same time...
and there's only one outlet available. It's also made with a damage-resistant cable, so you can feel safe throwing it in your backpack when not in use. Promising review: "It does as it says it does, allowing my Dell XPS15 to operate a pair of USB devices from my lightning port! The laptop has two USB ports, one of which is always occupied by my USB mouse dongle and the other by my protected USB drive.
If I wanted to plug in my phone to switch data or add another thumb drive to transfer a device, everything might have to be disconnected, but not anymore. It was really worth it." — Liberty Multitasky is a small business founded by Julia Xu in 2020.
They're known for their adorable and functional tech products, including power banks, laptop accessories, and more! Get it from Multitasky for $25 (available in three colors). 15. A Bluetooth-enabled sleep mask with built-in speakers so you can get some shut-eye and listen to music or a podcast at the same time.
If you've ever had your earbuds fall out while trying to take a nap on the plane, this is for you! The battery lasts for 12 hours, and reviewers say the speaker is just loud enough for you to hear without disturbing your fellow passengers. Promising review: "I bought these for use on airplanes. They are fantastic! They are very comfortable.
They don't smash my mascara into my face. They block out all the light. The sound is great.
I connect it to my phone and play nature sounds to drown out the rest of the plane noise and help me sleep. Couldn't recommend them more!" — MissAubrie BuzzFeed Shopping editor Chelsea Stuart loves this travel essential and said: "After a bout of pandemic-induced insomnia, I picked up one of these USB-chargeable masks and can honestly say it was LIFE-changing. If you're sensitive to light or sound, this mask is where it's at.
The contoured, cool-to-the-touch eye pads are super cozy, and extra padding on the bridge of the nose ensures no light seeps in. I was concerned about feeling the headphones through the mask and not being able to sleep in my usual position (mountain climber, the hands-down comfiest position), but they really are unnoticeable. I can sleep through the night with it on, and the Velcro straps have never once gotten stuck in my hair.
The battery also lasts for a full 10 hours, so I don't have to worry about my audio going out right as I'm dozing off. " Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in four colors).
16. A genius airplane window tray (all my fellow window seat people make some noise!!!) that's perfect for holding beverages, phones, AirPods, and sunglasses so you have extra space on your fold-down seat table for larger items like a laptop or iPad. This is for anyone with first-class taste on an economy budget.
P.S. This only works if you have full access to the window (rather than those seats where you get the weird halves of two windows between the rows in front and back of you.
Promising review: "A friend recommended this to me as a vital travel companion now that I've returned to frequent flying. I initially thought of it as a novelty, but now that I've used it, it's a necessity. It keeps the workspace clear for my laptop, but it also organizes all the little pieces that can become so annoying to keep up with — glasses, earphones, etc.
It got my seatmate's immediate attention, as well as a few other folks nearby. I suspect they'll have one soon. Watch for one soon in a window near you!" — Timothy G.
Wolfe Get it from Amazon for $19.99 . 17.
A doorstop alarm — it'll basically be your own personal bodyguard when staying in hotels. The wedge design easily fits under most doors and will sound an alarm when pressed (there's even a sensitivity switch to adjust how much movement is required to trigger the alarm). The gap between the door and the ground must be between 0.
6'' and 1.2'', and it requires a 9V battery (not included). Promising review: "Good for home and travel for hotel room doors.
Sensitivity control and on/off switch. Be sure to measure from floor to bottom of the door to make sure it will engage the alarm. After demonstrating it, my sister-in-law, niece, and mom wanted them.
A little peace of mind for very little money." — Jim Walker Get a two-pack from Amazon for $13.99 (available in two colors, individually and in multipacks).
18. A set of Tide sink packs so you can easily hand-wash your clothes, meaning you can pack less and re-wear more! Simply fill your sink with warm water, add one sink pack, agitate and soak your items in the water, then rinse, dry, and be thankful for all the extra carry-on space. Each pack comes with three packets.
And, because they *are* liquid, they'll easily slide into the side of your toiletries bag. Promising review : " Game changer for travel! We were gone for two weeks, and I was able to wash all the clothes I had packed! Helped with using only a carry-on for the trip and kept my clothes fresh and clean! So easy to use and smelled nice! Will never travel without them again!" — Kristy Get nine packs from Amazon for $8.49 (also available in packs of three and six).
19. A pack of UV-detection stickers that start out clear once you apply sunscreen, then turn purple once it's time to reapply! The dots absorb sunscreen the same way your skin does, so the purple color lets you know when your skin has absorbed all the SPF you applied earlier. It's basically the magical sunscreen fairy godmother you never knew you needed.
Start by applying the sticker to your skin, then apply sunscreen on your skin and over the dot, wait 30 seconds for it to absorb and then face direct sunlight for one minute to make the spot turn clear. Once it turns from clear to purple, you'll know it's time for another layer of sunscreen! Promising review: "After yet another bad sunburn, even though I'm trying VERY HARD to keep sunscreen on, I bought these. First use was at Disneyland on a 90-degree zero clouds day.
This helped so much! I kept an eye (as did my friends) on the dot so we all knew when to reapply sunscreen, and not one of us got burned. I also used these on a weeklong hiking adventure in Utah where it was also in the 90s with an extreme UV index. None of us got burned, so all in all, this is one of the best inventions !" — Catherine Shock Get a 16-pack from Amazon for $15.
99 (also available in two other pack sizes). 20. An acupressure anti-nausea wristband meant to help keep motion sickness at bay, so it's a must-have for anyone who gets a bit queasy on cruises or long car rides.
The plastic stud on the band is designed to apply pressure to the Nei-Kuan acupressure point on the underside of the wrist, which some say helps reduce the feelings of nausea caused by motion sickness. For more info on how to use acupressure for nausea management, check out this guide from the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center . Promising review: " Simple game changer! My car sickness has been getting worse for years.
I often drive with my family back to my hometown, about five hours away. I put these on and was finally able to ride without constantly fighting nausea. They fit comfortably, and I quickly forgot they were on.
This feels like a simple, cost-efficient fix." — Breya Porter Get a set of two from Amazon for $7.85+ (available in six colors, various pack sizes, and also available in children's sizes ).
21. A travel belt so you can easily clip your personal item to your carry-on — because nothing ruins your vacation vibe like your tote bag constantly falling off your arm. And you know the mad dash to grab your passport at the TSA line while it feels like everyone behind you is staring and waiting? This will make it SO much easier to reach in your bag and feel like an organized, A+ traveler.
The travel belt is adjustable to 38 inches to fit most bags. The belt itself is vegan leather with elastic accents and a quick-release buckle. Promising review: "Love this! I am constantly struggling between holding my jacket and two carry-ons.
This is the perfect solution! I can’t wait to start using it when I’m back to regular business travel." — Allison Cincha Travel is a small business in California that develops adjustable travel belts made out of vegan leather. The brand donates 100 airline miles for each purchase, which are used to reconnect separated migrant families.
Plus, they were featured on Shark Tank, where they made a deal with Barbara! Get it from Amazon (available in 17 styles) and Cincha Travel (available in 25 styles) for $39.99. 22.
And a simple but oh-so-genius luggage strap — it'll help you carry extra stuff that won't fit in your carry-on. You can use it to attach your purse, backpack, neck pillow, or anything else you just don't feel like carrying around. Promising review: "I love this little gadget.
I used it to attach my jacket and computer bag to my luggage on an extended business trip. It made my airport walks so much easier. Now that I'm back home, I've been using it daily to attach my jacket or cardigan to my work bag or purse.
" — Michele Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in six colors and packs of two). 23.
A sand-removal bag you'll want in your beach bag at all times going forward — because beach trips are the best but removing sand is the worst. Just pat the bag to disperse some of the talc-free powder inside, then wipe it over your skin and watch the sand just glide right off! It even comes with a waterproof carrying pouch so you can keep it safe in between uses. Check out the sand removal bag on TikTok ! Promising review: "We recently moved to a beach area, and we are constantly there.
This item has changed our entire lives! It lasts decently long (depending on how much you use it), it smells super good (not at all like baby powder), and it's super effective. It has saved me from vacuuming my car at least 1x–2x a week. I even use it on my dogs's paws and bellies to make sure they're taken care of.
I will definitely be buying the refill and another baggie to have exclusively in the car." — Gabbs Uresti Shakalo is a small biz based in San Diego. Get it from Amazon for $24.
99 (also available in a three-pack). 24. A shoe bag that has enough space for three pairs yet is sleek enough to fit in your carry-on (there's also a trolley strap if you prefer to keep it separate)! Putting your shoes on top of your clothes is downright nasty, and this will solve that dilemma once and for all.
You can even use it as a packing cube or toiletry organizer for short trips. Promising review: "You can totally fit three pairs of shoes in this! (Size 6.5 female shoe, fit heels, wedges, and sandals.
) I bought two and will absolutely be buying more for my husband. 10/10 would recommend! I travel frequently, and I always overpack; this helped cut down space and stress immensely! " — Taylor Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in nine colors and patterns).
25. A set of packing cubes — they'll help you keep all your clothes separated and organized and save you some space in your crowded carry-on! All my fellow overpackers, this is specifically for us. Here's to bringing our entire wardrobe on a three-day trip! Each set comes with a small, medium, large, and extra-large cube, a shoe bag, and a laundry bag.
Reviewers also mention using these to organize drawers when they're not traveling. Promising review: "I have been on the fence about buying packing cubes for two years! I wasn’t sure if they would really make a difference in my packing or not. However, I am so glad I decided to get some! I have looked at many brands, but I am happy I decided on this one! These are made from a great material and are super cute! This is one of the few brands that include both a shoe bag and a dirty linen bag!.
.. I was actually able to close my luggage with ease for the first time.
These keep your clothes clean and organized. It makes packing and unpacking a breeze. " — Cindy U.
Get a set of eight from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in 15 colors). 26.
A waterproof phone pouch , because just the thought of dropping your phone in the ocean is enough to make you want to stay home. This genius pouch will keep it dry and secure, and you can even use it to snap some Insta-worthy underwater pics! It's also perfect for trips to theme parks, because getting caught in the rain is basically inevitable. Promising review: "Bought these for my whole family to wear at Disney World .
..worked wonderfully through the rain and rides like Splash Mountain and Kali Rapids.
Would definitely recommend." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in 14 colors).
27. An AirFly Pro wireless transmitter so you can add Bluetooth capabilities to any device with a headphone jack — even the screens on an airplane! Now, you can watch a movie on your next flight without using those awful wired earbuds that get all tangled up in your tray table. The standard edition allows you to connect one pair of headphones and lasts for 20+ hours on a single charge.
Promising review: "Worked beautifully on a recent eight-hour flight from New York City to Frankfurt! Really easy to pair with my Bose noise-canceling earbuds and charges quickly. The sound quality was excellent. I'm so excited about this product that I'm going to buy one for each of my family members!" — emily p murray Get the standard model from Amazon for $34.
99 (also available in a Pro version that allows you to connect two headphones and has longer battery life, and a Pro Deluxe version that adds a receive mode and comes with extra accessories). 28. And an in-flight phone mount for those short flights with no in-seat TV screens.
Now, you can comfortably binge your latest Netflix obsession without uncomfortably looking down at your phone the entire flight. Promising review: "I travel for a living and fly often. I regret not buying this in the beginning when I started traveling.
I can clip it to the back of the seat in front of me and also on the windows. It is small enough to fold up and fit in my pocket. This is random but related — if you are sitting in an exit row on an airplane, you cannot clip this to the window until the plane is in the air — other than that, they do not care if it is clipped to the window during the flight.
Highly recommended." — Chrissie Jo Get it from Amazon for $13.97 (available in seven colors and also available in sets of two).
29. A pack of foldable hangers , because those three the hotel provides are simply never enough. They easily fold up so you can keep them in your luggage without taking up much space, then unfold to hold everything from dresses to suit jackets.
Promising review: "On a trip to Europe, I used these hangers to hang my laundry to dry. I even hung a pair of wet jeans (through the belt loops). I thought the hanger would break, but it held up fine! Hotels never supply enough hangers, so I will be bringing these along when I travel.
" — debi Get a pack of 12 from Amazon for $12.99 . 30.

You'll basically never want to leave home without this, even when you're not traveling. Promising review: "I can't say enough about this fan.
I live in Florida, and spend a lot of time outdoors and at Disney. I'm a polar bear. Always hot.
I've bought a lot of different kinds of little fans, and this one outshines them all. It's quiet, powerful, battery last all day. Even has a flashlight, and is a power bank.
For the price, you honestly can't beat it. Trust me. I've tried them all.
I liked it so much, I got another one because every one was always wanting to use it." — N. Rosa Get it from Amazon for $13.
67+ (available in six colors). 31. A sleek pill case with 10 compartments so you can ditch the bulky bottles that are cluttering up your carry-on for something that's way easier to slip in your pocket.

Hidden pocket is very discreet and large enough for cash, passport, credit cards, etc. Sturdy zipper and beautiful design. Just got back from three weeks in China.
I was able to easily carry all of the above, leaving my hands free. Superior product, practical and discreet. I've since purchased two more!" — Florida Girl Waypoint Goods is a small business focused on creating travel and lifestyle accessories for women to empower them to explore the world safely.

These are also perfect for cleaning your teeth before popping Invisalign trays back in! Promising review: "You don't generate a lot of spit while using these, like you would with toothpaste, so you don't need a sink.
It's just spit...
there's nothing wrong with swallowing it. The little ball in the middle has a similar effect to mouthwash, but it doesn't burst or expel liquid. It just wears down as you brush.
So you're removing remaining food particles while freshening your breath...
I bought these for the purpose of cleaning my teeth at work. I often eat at my desk, and the idea of brushing my teeth in the work (or any public) restroom was gross to me. I can brush at my desk and put my Invisalign trays back in.
" — KC Get four packs of 24 toothbrushes from Amazon for $23.84. 35.
A luggage-mounted cup caddy to keep your hands free when you need to rush to your gate, but you're not quite done with that cold brew yet.

Last time I took a plane with a suitcase and a cup of coffee, I dropped and spilled my drink everywhere when it was my turn to check my passport and ticket.
It was a nightmare! This time, I bought this cup holder to do me a favor! I don't have to worry about where my cup and phone are! I can free my hands to do other things. I love it so much! Hope you love it too." — Philip Get it from Amazon for $9.

It’s comfy, cozy, oversized, and the eye covers make you feel like you’re in a whole other world and not packed like a sardine on a plane. My over ear headphone fit perfectly under it and I got the best sleep I’ve had on a plane — EVER! Like other reviews have said, it is big, so size down if you want something a little more snug.

A set of Cadence containers that are as gorgeous as they are extremely useful. You can use them to store your toiletries, pills, and any other small items that would get lost in your luggage — and they have a magnetic design that allows you to cluster them together! Promising review: "A friend recommended Cadence capsules to me last year and I have been obsessed ever since! I’ve purchased several colors and sizes for myself and to give as gifts and have never been disappointed. It’s impressive how much product can fit in these, and the texture and shape of them are amazing.
I’ve flown a number of times with these in my carry-on, and they have never leaked or caused a problem with TSA. Truly worth the price!" — Maddey C. Cadence is an AAPI woman-owned small business that was founded by Steph Hon with the goal of eliminating single-use travel-sized plastics.

A solid shampoo bar so you can ditch the bulky plastic bottles and go for a much more environmentally friendly and space-saving option. One bar is equivalent to three bottles of liquid shampoo, so you'll reduce clutter in your luggage and maybe even save some coin. Just rub it directly on your hair and lather away! Promising review: "I was skeptical about a bar shampoo, but wanted something that would last and I could take on my frequent travels.
.. This was the solution I was after and I plan to use it even back home.
A little goes a long way and leaves my hair feeling bouncy and refreshed. It also has a nice clean scent that isn't overpowering. Would purchase again.
