I picked up some of the nalgene ones today and am hopeful that I've solved the problem. I'll let you know how it goes next time I fly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-leakproof-travel-containers-for-shampoo-etc#post-1418455 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 01:18:37 +0000 Carla 1418455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Recycled sample size containers have worked for me, and I schlep gym gear daily. Like you, I use zip-lock baggies when Air travel is involved. My (ancient, but perfect) toiletries bag can be thrown in the wash when there is an incident. Though inconvenient, incidents have been few.</p> <p>DH travels way more by air then I do. I got him some travel containers from a store that specialized in travel specific gear and do-dads. They were spendy, but he likes them! I think the soft body allows product to expand and contract without extruding from the tops. (Pic below) they look like (and might be) Gotubes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-leakproof-travel-containers-for-shampoo-etc#post-1417872 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 20:23:28 +0000 Sadie 1417872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We travel a lot and I have been using these for shampoo, conditioner, lotion, woolite, etc with no leak problems:<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/humangear-GoToob-Travel-Bottles-3-pack/dp/B002WUVOBA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1420230203&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=travel+containers+bottles" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/humangea.....rs+bottles</a><br /> They are wide-mouthed so you can easily fill them, and they squeeze so you can easily use them for even viscous things like lotions. They come in 1.25, 2, and 3 oz sizes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-leakproof-travel-containers-for-shampoo-etc#post-1417608 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 03:14:51 +0000 abc 1417608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I fly a ton and swear by the nalgene ones Janet linked to. No other passes snuff for me. Good luck, I hope you find a solution you like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-leakproof-travel-containers-for-shampoo-etc#post-1417590 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 02:15:13 +0000 Anonymous 1417590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been using a great set of travel containers from Target but have not seen them lately. I use some very small plastic jars with screw on lids from a craft store meant to be uses for beads for some creams and gels. They have it leaked but have always been in a carryon, not checked luggage. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-leakproof-travel-containers-for-shampoo-etc#post-1417547 Thu, 01 Jan 2015 23:56:40 +0000 harmonica 1417547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second Gaylene. Absolutely love Muji - no leaking! But flip-tops are not the best. Also their hair bands, hair clips and hair pins are the only ones that works for my hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-leakproof-travel-containers-for-shampoo-etc#post-1417537 Thu, 01 Jan 2015 23:29:32 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 1417537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use screw-top contact lens cases for things like foundation, hair oil, face wash and facial sunscreen lotion, which usually lasts 5-7 days without running out. &nbsp; I use one whole case (both compartments) for shampoo. &nbsp; I wash my hair 3x a week, and always have enough this way.</p> <p>I also started packing nail polish remover wipes, because nail polish remover in a bottle always seems to leak, no matter the container.&nbsp; &nbsp;So does eyemakeup remover, so I&nbsp;put a bunch of flat cotton rounds in a strong ziploc snack bag, pour in just enough&nbsp;eyemakeup remover to get them good and wet, and that makes one less bottle to worry about leaking.&nbsp;</p> <p>I know the Target bottles Laura is talking about, and they are great -&nbsp;but finding them seems to be hit-or-miss. &nbsp; Sometimes they have them, sometimes not. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-leakproof-travel-containers-for-shampoo-etc#post-1417358 Thu, 01 Jan 2015 06:46:10 +0000 deb 1417358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana, I have never had problems with them and I have been using them for 2 years. I used to use the flip tops from Target and they would pop open with the pressure change on the plane. I purchased the Sephora brand to replace the flip top kind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-leakproof-travel-containers-for-shampoo-etc#post-1417335 Thu, 01 Jan 2015 04:01:59 +0000 Dee 1417335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have mini Nalgene bottles like Janet, thought I got mine from eBags. I have the wide and small opening kind and 've never had a problem with any of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-leakproof-travel-containers-for-shampoo-etc#post-1417325 Thu, 01 Jan 2015 03:30:57 +0000 Gaylene 1417325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My DIL gave me a handful of Muji containers for travel a few years back. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes and are much easier than the Nalgene bottles (my former travel favorites) to fill and clean. I've never had a leakage problem with any of them.</p> <p>Another travel tip: Use contact lens cases to hold small amounts of face creams/serums. No leakage and the cases hold enough to last at least a week. I also use the lens cases to hold small amounts of hair goop. </p> <p><a href="http://www.muji.us/store/travel/packing.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.muji.us/store/travel/packing.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-leakproof-travel-containers-for-shampoo-etc#post-1417203 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 21:33:33 +0000 Alexandra 1417203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have travel size containers for shampoo and conditioner that I got years ago as samples from my hairdresser. I just fill them with my regular shampoo and conditioner. For face wash, I bought a travel size Cetaphil cleanser, dumped it out, and filled with my preferred cleanser. These three always travel in the ziplock bag in my carry-on. They've never leaked. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-leakproof-travel-containers-for-shampoo-etc#post-1417147 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 19:58:41 +0000 Diana 1417147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura, REI is a good suggestion! I'll definitely take a look. </p> <p>Janet: Doh! Nalgene! Of course! I feel like an idiot for not considering them! We use nalgene stuff in lab all the time. And none of my nalgene water bottles have ever leaked. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-leakproof-travel-containers-for-shampoo-etc#post-1417137 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 19:37:47 +0000 Janet 1417137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got some from the Container Store that seem to be working well in that regard. They're inexpensive so I stocked up.</p> <p>ETA: I think this is the right one: <a href="http://www.containerstore.com/shop/travel/madeinUSA?productId=10000243&#038;N=130+1000036" rel="nofollow">http://www.containerstore.com/.....30+1000036</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-leakproof-travel-containers-for-shampoo-etc#post-1417121 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 18:51:18 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1417121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got my favorite refillable containers from target a bit ago - they're 3 oz and have a flip down catch. But I haven't seen them in store recently. GoToob brand also makes nice stuff; looking someplace like REI or a similar store that caters to backpackers might be a good thought.</p> <p>That Sephora set looks a little too fiddly for me but if one traveled a lot I can see how it would be worth the fuss. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-leakproof-travel-containers-for-shampoo-etc#post-1417119 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 18:48:25 +0000 Diana 1417119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, interesting, Deb!&nbsp; I hadn't even considered pump containers.&nbsp; They look very promising, thanks! </p> <p>ETA: Did you have problems with the pumps not working? Seems like a lot of the reviewers mention it is fiddly to get them to work properly.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-leakproof-travel-containers-for-shampoo-etc#post-1417115 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 18:33:40 +0000 deb 1417115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had trouble with my containers also. I found these a Sephora and they are the best. I think because they are pump containers.</p> <p><a href="http://www.sephora.com/deluxe-travel-tool-kit-P303346?skuId=1374867" rel="nofollow">http://www.sephora.com/deluxe-.....Id=1374867</a></p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-leakproof-travel-containers-for-shampoo-etc#post-1417108 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 18:12:03 +0000 Diana 1417108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been traveling a lot in the past year, and lately I've been having a lot of problems with my travel containers for shampoo, conditioner, and face wash leaking in transit (particularly in checked baggage, probably because of pressure changes).&nbsp; They don't pop open or anything, the lids just seem to leak around the edges?&nbsp; I always double bag them so the liquids never get on anything, but it's nevertheless very annoying.&nbsp; Currently, I'm using recycled small containers either from hotel toiletries or makeup products.&nbsp; None of my products come in travel size containers, so I need something I can refill (i.e. with a large opening).&nbsp; </p> <p>I'm wondering if anyone has any tried and true solutions for this.&nbsp; Ideally I'd want something on the small side, around 1 oz. (28 ml) for the face wash, and 2 oz (56 ml) for the shampoo and conditioner.&nbsp; I also need, as mentioned above, a large opening for refilling.&nbsp; And it should be lightweight.</p> <p>TIA!</p> <p> </p>
