The tricky thing about traveling with a carry-on is that you’re limited to only taking toiletries that hold up to 100 ml with you. Smaller packages of shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, and other toiletries are usually overpriced compared to bigger ones, but there are ways to save money on them.

Travel Toiletries Set

Instead of buying tiny bottles of toiletries, just get a set of empty travel bottles and pour some shampoo and shower gel inside before hitting the road. Unlike small toiletries packages, they can be reused time and time again and they won’t cost you as much.

Free Samples

Free samples that you can get at hotels and cosmetics stores usually come in small packages and you should consider saving them for your next trip.

Right Accommodation

If packing toiletries seems like too much of a hustle, find accommodation that offers them for free. Most Airbnb won’t charge you for toiletries, and you can find hostels that offer them for free, as well.

Buy Them Later

If you’re planning to stick around at your destination for longer than a week or two, you don’t have to pack any toiletries at all. Buy them on the spot because smaller packages won’t be enough for a longer trip anyway.
