    "Buy It": Just 45 Travel Products Reviewers Are Raving About

    You'll be wondering how you were able to travel all this time without an inflatable neck pillow, weighted sleep mask, and rotating phone mount.

    1. A super sturdy phone mount perfect for watching a movie or listening to your music without it falling off your lap or between the seats when you doze off! It also swivels 360 degrees, allowing you to position the phone in either portrait or landscape orientation.

    Perilogics is a small biz that specializes in tech-oriented travel products and backpacks.

    Promising review: "Buy it. Period. I almost never take the time to write Amazon reviews. But for this item I will take the time! It is INCREDIBLE. My son and I just returned from a 10-day European school trip. We traveled by coach bus, train, and took two 9-hour flights during that time. On every single leg of our amazing but long journey this phone clamp worked like a dream. EVERYONE on the tour wanted to know what it was and where to buy it. 5 stars all day!" —ASchmels

    Get it from Amazon for $12.97+ (available in three colors and a single or double pack size).

    2. A weekender bag that's the perfect size for packing enough clothes for a few days so that you won't have to check a bag. OR it can be used as a carry-on that fits nicely under the seat so you don't have to put it in the overhead bin.

    Promising review: "Used this as my ‘personal’ item with my carry-on luggage. Fit three pairs of heels plus some other knickknacks, then I had to stuff my actual purse in it at the last minute to ‘hide.’ It all fit (my purse was small). The zipper storage is great for phone, boarding pass, charging cords quick access, and is not bulky to slip over luggage handle. Used it twice now and it’s holding up well. BUY IT. Fits all airline requirements and could be used as a weekend bag as well on its own. Buying another color for hubby." —Krystal J.

    Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in 14 colors/patterns).

    3. A trifold travel wallet made to easily store and find things while constantly on the move. There are a bunch of pockets to organize everything you might need, from cash, receipts, and train tickets to ID cards and hotel keys. There's even a spacious zipper pocket, which is great for all the coins you receive (which you get a LOT of in certain countries).

    Promising review: "Buy it now! I went to Europe and visited five countries, and was able to keep all my tickets/boarding passes here, along with all the important items such as passport, credit card, even phone! Loved it!!!!" —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in 38 colors).

    4. A very thorough packing list pad so that you don't forget anything important as you're packing the morning of your flight (even though you swore you weren't going to wait until the last minute again this time). From extra pairs of socks to vitamins, this list make sure all your bases — and then some — are covered.

    Just note that if you're flying with it, you'll want to keep it in an easy-to-reach spot in your bag, as one of our BuzzFeed Shopping editors said TSA flagged hers at two separate airports.

    Promising review: "Buy it! Went on a trip, and was going to see the hotel without my husband and was nervous. I bought this, and it was so easy to use and safe. I tried myself to open the door a few times and didn't budge. If anybody living in an apartments in needs of extra security or if they need to take a trip alone and need that extra security while being alone, don't hesitate to buy it!!" —Anna

    Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in three pack sizes).

    6. A luggage strap, which might not look like much, but even flight attendants swear by them. Use it to strap your coat or personal bag to your luggage so you don't have to carry it around, freeing your hands to grab a cup of coffee from Dunkin'.

    Promising review: "I bought this for when I went to the Dominican Republic. And let me tell y’all this is exactly what I needed to travel. I have never been out of the US before and I was looking for something exactly like this to hold my body wash, shampoo, conditioner, sunscreen, face lotion, shaving cream etc.. this made everything so easy when passing through the airport to get to your flight when security does bag checks and all. It doesn’t even take much space out of your bag or suitcase, which I love!! Buy it; you won’t regret it!" —Maribel Orellana

    Get it from Amazon for $14.79+ (available in 16 variations).

    9. A GORGEOUS set of six Cadence containers to hold a variety of items, such as medications, small jewelry, and skincare, while taking up minimal space. These magnetic containers connect together, so no need to worry about them getting lost, and they come with labeled tiles so you know what's inside each jar.

    Cadence is an AAPI woman-owned small business that was founded by Steph Hon. 

    Promising review: "The Cadence capsules are worth the hype and money. I cannot wait to use them on upcoming trip to Disney. If you are on the fence about these, go ahead and buy them. It's such a quality piece to add to your travel collection.Jennifer S.

    Get a set of six from Cadence for $76 (originally $84). 

    10. Or a clear TSA-approved toiletry bag so TSA agents can easily see what you've packed, meaning no more awkward searches or delays.

    Promising review: "I really had a hard time justifying the price of this for what you get. However, the size is absolutely perfect! The format is great and it fits all toiletries with ease. If you are thinking about it, just buy it." —PR

    Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in 11 colors).

    11. A bar of natural, plastic-free solid shampoo in case you want to limit the chance of liquid shampoo spilling out into your luggage and having everything smell like an island paradise breeze. Reviewers say these shampoo bars produce a great lather and leave their hair soft and shiny.

    Promising review: "AMAZING! Buy it now! When I turned 30, suddenly my hair became super greasy at the base of my head. No matter what I did, nothing took the grease out. And then along came this shampoo bar. In just a single wash, the grease was gone and my hair was visibly healthier and touchably soft. It's a small bar, but it will last a long time. I've had it for a month and it still looks like I took it out of the box yesterday. Like any bar soap, you need to store it properly so it won't dry out and crumble (like you saw happen in some of the negative reviews). You can prevent this by spending $3 at Walmart on a soap saving sponge, they come in a pack of two. *PRO TIP* — While doing research I found that if you follow with an apple cider vinegar spray, the results are even better. And it's true." —M.A.

    Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in 10 varieties).

    12. A 50-count pack of laundry soap sheets letting you wash clothes by hand in the hotel sink instead of packing extra and hauling around stinky, sweaty clothes you wore for three days. These sheets are not liquid, so it's OK to take them through TSA in a carry-on, and they take up such a small amount of space.

    Promising review: "These are perfect for backpackers and travelers. Wish I had known what these were years ago. Scent is light and cleaning power is surprisingly strong. Saved me euros while traveling because I didn't have to worry about if the laundromats would have detergent. Buy these if you travel for weeks at a time. You'll thank yourself later." —jeri dohnor

    Get it from Amazon for $12.55.

    13. A set of compression bags for when you need a space saver solution while traveling with a large family or if you're going to a colder climate and need to pack bulky clothes. Just make sure you bring the included pump with you while on your trip so you can also use these bags to separate wet towels and dirty laundry.

    Promising review: "SAVED OUR LIVES. IF YOU TRAVEL, YOU MUST BUY THESE. I bought two packages because two of us were doing some international travel to India from the USA. Had some fancy soirees, and dresses and tunics for a wedding. Rolled them up and literally made it a quarter of the size. There’s no need to have a vacuum pump but it just takes a strong arm and a table top to roll it out. It makes some funny sounds but really gets all the air out. Really good product and highly recommended. I have another package but not going to sell it back because I like them so much. They’re reusable too." —Victor Hammond

    Get a pack of five from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in four sizes and three pack sizes).

    14. Or a collection of compression packing cubes so you can safely squish everything down, leaving plenty of room for souvenirs. Not only do they save space, but they'll also keep you organized in the process with the included pack of labels so you know what's in each cube.

    Promising review: "I am so glad I made this purchase. I couldn't believe how much I could fit into these packing cubes! So much so, I must have said that very same thing a 100 times after I packed! Definitely worth the $! Buy them!" —Kelly

    Get a pack of four from Amazon for $25.99+ (also available in a eight pack and in three colors ).

    15. A handmade leather cord organizer to keep your wired headphones accessible and tangle free so you can pop them into the airplane TV as soon as you get to your seat.

    Promising review: "This is an absolute steal. I had this thing on my Amazon Wish List for way too long before I had a few bucks left over on a gift card and said, eh might as well. I am super pleased with the quality. It's a little thicker than I would have expected but it's really solid, pretty, and functional. I noticed in some of the reviews that people said they had issues with the snap. I have not had that issue. The strap works 100% and is a little stiff, but it's leather so it will work in well. If you are looking at this thing because you want something to keep your headphones from tangling, do yourself a favor and buy it." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in five colors and three pack sizes).

    16. And an electronics organizer to keep your wired earphones, various chargers, and other accessories neat and easy to find so that you aren't digging through a jumbled mess.

    Promising review: "Don’t sacrifice your backpack by fire in an angry rage, buy this. My backpack is finally manageable! No more cords in random places or, more often than not, bunched up in a massive ball together. For the price the quality is great and it fits all the sizes of cords I have!" —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in medium and large and four colors).

    17. A bendy travel pillow in case you find yourself in the middle seat on a 14-hour flight to Japan. This neck pillow is designed to help keep your posture upright, reducing the risk of neck aches and allowing you to arrive at your destination feeling refreshed and relaxed. This will also prevent you from nodding off on your neighbor, ensuring that everyone can enjoy their flight in peace!

    Promising review: "This travel pillow design is simply brilliant! You can bend it into whatever shape your heart (or neck) desires! The memory foam is 150 times better than the beads or stiff foam you find in most travel pillows. Also, unlike most travel pillows, the case is removable for easy cleaning. The cover is also super soft; it reminds me of a jersey T-shirt material. Talk about versatile also — I use it as lumbar support/comfort and my son uses it as a lap pillow when watching his iPad. Just buy it!!" —Tiffany Lemoine

    Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (also available in a non-bendable core version and seven colors).

    18. A lightweight, compact, and high-speed portable charger for when you're eagerly waiting for your Uber to arrive and you've just taken 25 pictures of yourself trying to get the perfect shot of you holding up the Leaning Tower of Pisa, but now your phone battery is at a mere 10%. This small but mighty charger is capable of charging Apple and Samsung Galaxy devices lighting fast when in a pinch.

    Promising review: "Buy it! I bought this for a trip and it did not disappoint! I used it to recharge my phone every day during my five-day trip without having to recharge the charger once. It takes a while to charge it fully but it will last a while and charge your phone very fast. While reading other reviews it seems people were making the mistake of trying to charge in the wrong ports, it is very clear that two are for input only. The USB is the only one for charging. This product is a must buy, I carry it in my purse at all times and I use it often because of how quickly it charges." —Melissa

    Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in black and white).

    19. Plus, a six-port wall charger, which is the perfect solution to keep everyone's gadgets and gizmos charged up without constantly arguing with your family members over who gets to use the cord next.

    Promising review: "Buy this and never worry about charging again. I have had issues with other chargers burning out cables incredibly fast. Even had issues with an external charger for batteries for vaping that is supposed to charge two batteries at 1 amp or 4 at .5 amps. The charger says it needs a 2.1a USB port. I have used dozens of USB outlets that are 2.1a and every one backs the amps down to .4-.8amps when charging so charging takes almost twice as long. I plugged my iPad Air, iPhone, Bluetooth speaker, iPod, Bluetooth keyboard, and the external battery charger in question all into this, and every single one charged quickly with NO loss in amps to the battery charger. I was blown away." —Bryan

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in black and white).

    20. A digital luggage scale to help you gauge how overboard you can go with all the Disneyland gear you plan on bringing back. This trusty scale can help you avoid that dreaded $40 fee from your bag being 20 pounds overweight. Simply attach the strap to your luggage, lift, and let the scale display the weight on its easy-to-read digital screen.

    BTW, Elizabeth recently put this scale to the test while packing for a trip to Iceland — check out her demo of how it works on TikTok!

    Promising review: "Buy this if you travel a lot. I travel with scuba dive gear and this saved me from going over the weight limit both going to the island and returning. I was a hero with my friends. They had no idea how much their bags weighed. I helped them too from going over their weight limit. It's easy to use and worth the money." —Kindle Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in six colors).

    21. A weighted sleep mask that'll gently apply pressure to your eyelids, helping you drift off into dreamland faster than you can say "jet lag who?" This light-blocking mask will give you much-needed sleep so that by the time you land at your destination, you won't be a puffy-eyed zombie.

    Promising review: "Buy it. I’m obsessed with the comfort this provides. I accidentally left my original one at my parents’ house. I couldn’t imagine being without it, so I bought another one to keep at my home. I have recommended this to several of my friends. The gentle weight you feel when you first put it on instantly relaxes me. Easy to wash and comfortable to wear all night. I wake up in the morning with it still on my face. A regular eye mask is crazy inferior." —Casey Warren

    Get one from Amazon for $14.99

    22. retractable lint roller small enough to fit in your carry-on so you can pull it out and give your black blazer a quick touch-up after the middle seat passenger next to you happened to be a cute (but extremely hairy) poodle. 

    Promising review: "Got lint? Buy one on the go! I haven’t found a lint roller that worked for me until I bought this. It’s so convenient to carry it with you when you go out. It’s easy to use because all you have to do is tear out the piece you used on your clothing. It catches every single lint or animal fur you have. Everyone needs this!" —Alondra

    Get it from Amazon for $16.58+ (available in black or light blue).

    23. A Bluetooth foldable keyboard since your flight to New York keeps getting delayed, so you might as well catch up on some work. This lightweight keyboard easily folds up so you can carry it around anywhere and connect to your phone or tablet to get a quick typing session in. This keyboard also powers off when you fold it close, handy for conserving its battery life.

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in nine colors).

    24. A pair of quick-dry water shoes to wear during all of your vacation water adventures, or while on the beach when you despise the feeling of sand in between your toes. They're also quick drying so if you want to grab a quick bite after kayaking, you won't have to deal with the discomfort of walking around with wet feet.

    Promising review: "Buy these, you will love them! I love to walk barefoot on the beach but isn't always the wisest decision. I read so many positive reviews and thought why not. I got my first pair and fell in love with them. I don't have to wear my sandals and leave them at the bottom of the steps. I can walk on the pavement to the beach and across the parking lot. I loved them so much that I bought a pair for my husband, sister, friend and an extra pair for me. My husband was very skeptical and he loved them too. I would absolutely recommend these." —Lauren A. Eason

    Get it from Amazon for $9.88+ (available in women's sizes 4–13.5 and men's sizes 3–12 and 45 colors).

    25. A memory foam seat cushion with orthopedic gel to spare your lower back and sciatica from the annual ~seemingly~ 4,000-mile family road trip.

I’m disabled and have terrible back problems. My back is now at peace. I’ve tried tons of these kinds of these. This is the best. I haven’t sat on it for more than a few minutes but I can tell you it is amazing. Do yourself a favor and buy this right now!" —Disabledwoman27

    Get it from Amazon for $35.16 (available in three colors).

    26. A set of Sea Bands if you're someone who gets motion sickness and knows how much it can ruin your travel experience. These little bands apply acupressure to a specific point on your wrist, naturally relieving nausea without the need to carry around bottles of medication.

    Promising review: "Buy this product. It is a lifesaver!! Oh my goodness where has this been all of my life??? I was the kid who had car sickness to the point of throwing up on a long car ride. I had morning sickness with both of my children. And I still get carsick on trips. Even small trips around town. I wore this to the Outer Banks in October after my doctor recommended it to me. The roads out there made me feel so sick I needed ginger ale in the car. I couldn't read or text the last time we were there. This past time I wore SeaBands and oh my heavens. It's a lifesaver. I could do everything I couldn't do before. Didn't need ginger ale. Then I wore it to the mountains in November and same thing! I even wear it at home for migraine headaches, stomach bug ect. Short trips around town too. This is a lifesaver. I highly recommend it." —Kara Cargill

    Promising review: "I lost my phone in the ocean over a month ago. A big wave knocked it from my grip and I thought it was lost forever. A diver found it in perfect condition, in 8 feet of water and a foot under the sand. Once it charged up, it was like nothing happened. If that doesn't convince you to buy this, I don't know what will! Highly recommend 👌" —Rachael

    Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in 14 colors).

    28. An Airfly wireless transmitter allowing you to use your own high-quality Bluetooth earbuds or headphones to tune in to in-flight entertainment. With the ability to connect up to two pairs at once, you can even share the entertainment with your travel buddy. And don't worry about running out of juice on those long-haul flights — this device has a battery life of 25+ hours.

    BTW, BuzzFeed Shopping editor Chelsea Stuart can vouch for this genius device: "Last year I splurged on some AirPods Max and for the amount of money I threw down on them, I was determined to get as much use out of them as possible and that included on plane rides. With the AirFly Pro, I can connect my headphones via Bluetooth and use the seat-back screen without having to fiddle with the free wired headphones they hand out that 1.) have horrible sound quality and 2.) don't fit my ears in the slightest. (I swear my ear canals are tiny or something??)"

    Promising review: "Just returned from a European vacation and this little device worked like a charm! The sound cancellation worked really well on that horribly long 14-hour flight and I could hear the movie perfectly. Just buy it, it's a must-have (until airlines convert their stuff to Bluetooth, don't hold your breath)." —Just a Muggle Mom

    Get it from Amazon for $54 (available in white and black and in three versions).

    29. A universal travel adapter that's compatible in over 160 countries and allows up to five devices to be charged easily with a single outlet. Reviewers say the power LED is extremely useful, especially in the UK where they have switches for the outlets so you need to know if they have power or not.

    Promising review: "If you travel a lot, buy one, just do it! Fantastic travel plug, to be able to plug something in, and have four USBs, anywhere in the world. It's awesome! Couldn't be happier!" —Maggie A.

Just place one of these patches on your neck or forehead and let the coolness wash over you. They can also come in clutch when you feel a sun-induced migraine coming on while at the park.

    Promising review: "I love these bags so much! I mainly use them as grocery bags but they could have other use (beach bag...) They don't take up much space but can carry a lot! When I go to grocery stores, cashiers are always surprised how much groceries they can fit in the bag. They are very sturdy and come in nice colors as well. I've seen the same bags at Anthropologie for four times this price. Buy these!" —Mom of Mamony

    Get them from Amazon for $13.98.

    33. A set of storage scrunchies for always having your fave lip gloss, a few bobby pins, and a couple of bucks on you at all times.

I hate purses, so being able to stash my money, lip gloss and my car key in my scrunchie is a GAME CHANGER! 10/10 would recommend.

    Hairbrella is a Black-owned small business that has been creating fashionable hats that protect natural hair. 

    Promising review: "If you have natural hair that you wear in a silk press… you need the Hairbrella! If you have natural hair that you wear curly… you need the Hairbrella! If you have relaxed hair… you need the Hairbrella! Basically after losing my umbrella and resorting to the dreaded grocery bag over my head… I found Hairbrella on Amazon and I bought one for myself and two other relatives. We chose not to chemically straighten our hair, so humid or rainy days can be a choice to return to our beautiful curls if an umbrella is not handy. So imagine our excitement to find a stylish, lined waterproof rain bonnet that won’t have me looking wild with a grocery bag on my head as I enter buildings. Buy this…. You won’t be disappointed!" —Sherry

If you travel frequently, you're always on the lookout for products that are easy to use, easy to pack and that make your luggage lighter, and all without sacrificing quality — then this is your travel brush.

    Promising review: "BUY IT! If you're in the market for a nice handheld, small, easy to use and really knocks the wrinkles out, this lil' guy is for you!! I've used it on polyester, cotton, jeans — worked great!! Haven't traveled with it yet but figure it shouldn't be too difficult because it's rather small. My one and only complaint, power cord could be a little longer — although I attached an extension cord to it that I had laying around and it's all good!" —Amazon Customer

    Promising review: "Buy this! Just completed NYC to China (14-ish hours each way). First time using this and got it for this trip. LOVE THIS product!!! It is soft, but can get warm on your neck — even make you sweat a little. I was hesitant about the air inflation. I've had air inflating before and they were crap. This is not crap. It was the perfect fit. The ability to let out some air was perfect when needed. Ready to get a second for my wife for our next trip." —Robert Friedman
