17 Best Travel Bottles For Toiletries

I’ll be the first to admit that I love collecting hotel toiletries. They’re certainly more economical to rely on than buying small bottles of shampoos and soaps before a trip. But a lot of hotels are doing away with single-use toiletries and replacing them with larger bottles in showers instead, or those recyclable sachets, which make me feel like I’m squeezing ketchup into my hair.

Having a plethora of body wash toiletry bottles around from every hotel you’ve ever been to is convenient, but it’s more environmentally friendly to not rely on them at all. I switched to reusable bottles for travel years ago, especially for things like sunscreen that I can buy in large bottles, and I’ll never go back.

Packing toiletries this way might take a few more minutes than tossing mini containers into your toiletry bag, but the Earth will thank you. Plus, refillable bottles make it easier to pack your favorite shampoo and conditioner rather than settling for whatever TSA-compliant travel-sized products you can find in Target’s travel beauty bins.

But before we get onto the best travel bottles for toiletries:

What toiletry bottles are TSA approved?

TSA-approved travel bottles must be under the 3.4 oz liquid restriction. Many travel bottle sets will say they’re TSA-approved, and you’ll have to trust their word since they’re unmarked toiletry bottles.

Even so, I have personally never encountered an issue with the TSA and my reusable containers. My refillable containers have been all over the world with me and haven’t gotten a second glance in the United States, Europe, or Asia. As long as your travel bottles are the size of a 3.4 oz container or smaller, you should be good to go.

Don’t forget that liquid toiletries must be able to fit in a clear, quart-sized baggie. So keep that in mind for your next trip!
