Hey, Lauren and Mr. Kelly! One tip I heard from Kara via Kara & Nate was that ‘Most people use most things in most places of the world’ so whatever you cannot bring will likely be available in some capacity in your destination. That mindset gave me an easier packing mindset this Feb-May when I was traveling. Thank you as well for all your wonderful content. It has informed and influenced my decisions. I can’t wait for my Monos products to arrive! You are the best. I bought them because of you. ;) Love from Miami! :)

As a woman of color I bring lotion. A baby lotion for after showers and to wear along with perfume, and one that's heavier for those extra dry days. And I pack extra. I use a lot of lotion. I will place extra in other spots.😂 I pack bar soaps, but I splurge and get loccitane, and I use a solid deodorant. They don't count either..

One bar lasts several months too. I cut small pieces for travel, put them in the Kitsch shampoo bag (helps it lather and can also hang in the shower) and then put it in a Matador soap bag when I’m done.

I'm also a contact lenses wearer with super dry eyes, so I actually pack a 2nd liquids bag I label "medical" to add all my prescription eye drops, lense solution, and allergy nose sprays, since medical items do not count toward 311. I do pack lotion, as I have a dry skin condition and without using lotion my skin gets horribly itchy and can crack, so it's a must. I tried Ethique solid lotion, but it wasn't moisturizing enough unfortunately.

Travel toothpaste - you can easily refill the travel size from your larger tube of tooth paste! Squeeze paste into a child medicinal syringe then into the travel sized tube. No need to toss the single use tube every time You can also put the tubes against each other and slowly squeeze from the large tube into the smaller one. The syringe method is useful for refilling all sorts of things.

Any aerosols are regulated and have to go in your "liquids" bag. If it's bug spray or hair spray or dry shampoo, if it's an aerosol you can't bring more than the 3.4 oz of it. It has to do with the alcohol propellant and how flammable it is I think.

If the container says the amount of product in fluid ounces, it is a liquid. I have always been told if it can be squeezed or poured out, it is a liquid. TSA agents always have the final say. So 1 person may be really lenient but the next one is not. If you want to risk it, that’s your choice. I generally go by the strictest criteria for what counts as a liquid. In fact we’re going on a cruise in September and I’m not taking any liquids, because I don’t want to worry about taking them out at security.

It's pricey, so I only use it on travel, but it eliminates the need for me to use lotion, and it's not a liquid. I'm sure there are other brands that also make gentler soaps. I also bring a lotion stick for any areas that need extra moisture. I don't know if any of these would work for you, but I thought I would list them here.

I like tinted sunscreen, I have several brands, but it doesn’t cover enough for my liking and it’s way too big, even though it’s under 3 oz. But I love it for my off days at home :)

And some people seem to forget that pretty much ANY place you travel to there will be some variety of grocery store or department store. They will have many things that you will need. You might be picky about one personal care item, but it is something that you aren’t as picky about, just buy some new stuff when you get there and then leave it there when you leave. Or bring it home if you haven’t gone over your limits.

Why is your dry shampoo in the liquids bag? Isn't that by definition a solid?
@ItsTheKellys

It’s not. It’s an aerosol and it’s liquid that dries once it hits your head.

Scrubzz bath wipes - you basically add water and it can be your shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Also meant for campers & hikers to freshen up bc you don't have to rinse it off so also can be like a dry shampoo. Lotion is a must for me, especially in the winter or after shaving legs, or my skin legit flakes off and is itchy. Lastly, I dunno what to do w self tanner as mine is a foam pump bottle and my toner is a spray. But may just bring my big bottle since I have to check luggage most of time anyway w my hiking poles that are not allowed in carry on

Contact solution in most cases should be an exempt product as it's a medical type item. It will vary depending on your airport and or TSA. What Ethique did you try?

Yes I just don’t risk it, as I’m mostly international at airports I haven’t been to before, and don’t want to risk getting searched and re-scanned. I’ve tried almost all of them, I believe. The shampoos are fine but I don’t like solid conditioner.

Where do you find small contact lens solution I like roll on deodorants. I’m surprised it’s impossible to find a version smaller than the 50 ml side. They are unnecessarily bulky. I’m seen expensive little known brands but not in the main brands

I purchased tons of hand sanitizers gels over there & didn't finish some of 'em . Lol. I think one guy saw it ,though ! He didn't care ? I was like ,oh ,o.k.well ,thanks ,I guess !? Lol. Now ,I'm so curious that I kinda wanna see videos of people trying to bring liquid lipsticks ,lip glosses & mascaras all together over the limit & see whether if they get into trouble or not & which one will be waved / forgiven !!?

I have to pack a styler for my hair like a gel for example, curly hair life. And if I plan to diffuse then a heat protectant. For cream though I’ll use the same cream on my face as I’ll use on my hands, like a cerave or this aloe one I really like that are basically in scented and gentle with ingredients that don’t break me out. But if you needed more solid lotion bars and sticks are a thing for sure.

I tried some other bar shampoos but I still have not find any one that works with my scalp… my issue is my scalp! It gets soo oily and the bar shampoos tends to leave product in my hair which turn into dandruff… idk maybe I’m not using bar shampoos the right way!
