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

Promising review: "I love this bag for travel. It's the perfect size. Unlike so many travel laundry bags, this one is the perfect size for clothes and undies. So many are too small like a lingerie bag or too big like a bag to take to the laundry mat. This is cute and folds up into itself." —N. Newman
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in six colors).
Promising review: "This came SO in handy during my vacation to Europe! I was making lots of different stops to places with different types of weather. With these laundry soap sheets I was able to wash my clothes in the sink — letting me pack just the right amount of clothes for all the different places I went." —Katie Fujarski

Promising review: "This bag held surprisingly more than expected. I put tiny travel jars for my skincare creams and other small toiletries in it with room to spare. I definitely feel like it was easier to pack and was also easy to grab out of my bag for security. It feels sturdy with nice, thick vinyl. The double zipper moved easily, and I was pleased that it opened completely for ease of getting the items I needed out of it." —Mrs M Tate

Promising review: "I recently purchased this bag to be able to accommodate a couple of suits for business trips without having to check a large garment bag. This worked perfectly! It was easy to pack, I had no issues placing it in the overhead bins, and my suits were in great condition when I unpacked at the hotel. Overall, it's a great value." —PSTEENSON

BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly says, "I bought it for a trip to the Greek Islands that included a very sweaty hours-long hike (who am I even?!) and several beach trips. I was able to fit giant water bottles, a towel, a change of clothes, a pair of shoes, sunscreen, and other essentials in here comfortably. It's easily folded up (I swear) and fit into my suitcase NBD. Plus, it was super easy to wipe all the sunscreen and sweat off of it. I've since taken it to the park and beach several times stateside!"

Promising review: "This luggage scale is so handy and is great for weighting your luggage. I was a little concerned before I got it because I wasn't sure how accurate it would be. When I used it when I went on vacation, it was dead on to what the airport said, so I highly recommend this. Plus, it’s easy to pack in your bags." —Teresa Daniels

Promising review: "This is great for traveling, and it doubles as a cup. You can't beat it! I know people said they have issues opening it, but as long as you have two functioning hands, I can't imagine you'll have the slightest issue." —Mr. Phoenix

Promising review: "Without my glasses on, I have a tough time separating the shampoo from the conditioner when they are in the same size travel bottles without labels. I leave the conditioner as is without a band and put one on the shampoo, by feel I can now easily identify which one I have in hand." —SimpleHappyLife

Promising review: "I was definitely skeptical about a bar shampoo and conditioner, but I travel a lot and really wanted to cut down the use of plastic products as much as possible. I honestly am in love! I got the Heali Kiwi shampoo bar and the Wonderbar conditioner, as well as one of their eco-friendly bamboo and sugar cane storage containers, and my very long, fine oily hair, which I do have to wash daily looks and feels great. I recommend anyone on the fence to definitely give it a try! It works! So wonderful for travel too!" —M.A.
Get it from Amazon for $16 (available in eight scents).
Promising review: "I really love this! It is great for travel. The pill tray slides out for easy filling and the cap has a flat edge so it can be used as a cup! The bottle also has feet on the side so it can rest on the table while you take the pills out. Fantastic design! The bottle is made out of thin plastic, so I would be careful with washing." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I love this product. I should have bought it years ago. It would have eliminated a lot of hassle while traveling. The best part is that it fits my very fat curling iron. Also, the pocket for the cord is a huge help." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "LOVE LOVE LOVE this felt organizer! It's strong, yet lightweight and has many, many pockets to stash and organize the contents of my bag. I use mine for when I travel and need quick access to my items. My only issue is that I should have chosen a color other than black because my tote is black, my organizer is black, and most of my items are black! Buying the green would have offset my items deep inside the tote. Other than that, I LOVE LOVE LOVE!" —Kathy D

Promising review: "These were life savers! We took a 10 day trip to Europe and were able to pack only in a carry on using these! I used two medium in my carry-on and my husband used three in his carry-on. I packed all my under garments, five dresses, four pairs of jeans, multiple blouses, three pairs of shorts and a few other pieces of clothes. And still has room for my shoes. These will definitely be used each time we travel now. Well worth it." —Amazon Customer
