    21 Carry-On Travel Products For Anyone Who Refuses To Check A Bag

    Because checking a bag is the bane of my existence.

    1. A pack of cleansing wipes that are safe to use *all* over your bod, in case you need a little refresh in between flights. They come in their own individual packs, so they won't dry out half way through your trip (and you can decide how many you wanna pack).

    2. A collapsible water bottle that won't eat up a ton of room in your bag. Just make sure it's totally empty before you go through security, otherwise you might have to scramble to dump it out.

    3. A pack of laundry detergent sheets in case you need to give your clothes a quick clean while you're on vacation. If you're only bringing a carry-on's worth of clothes, these babies are an absolute must.

    4. A wrap pillow with built-in neck support, meaning you'll be able to rest your head even if you're stuck with an aisle seat. It folds down, so you won't be stuck lugging around a huge cushion while you're on the go.

    5. A wallet that'll ✨actually fit✨ your passport and other travel documents, which means you won't have to squish everything together.

    6. A weekly pill case to help you keep track of your daily vitamins and tablets. You can take the divided container out of the pouch and use it separately, too.

    7. A portable charger that'll come in handy if your phone is always low on battery while you're out and about. Reviewers love how small it is and say that it charges their devices super quickly.

    8. A set of resistance bands if you won't have much access to a gym, but still wanna get a spicy workout in. They're super lightweight and flexible, making them easy to pack away in your carry on.

    9. An electronics organizer that'll give your cords, chargers, and smaller devices somewhere safe to live. Its outer shell is solid, which means your stuff will be protected even if it gets knocked around a little in your bag.

    10. A pair of hyaluronic acid-infused eye masks that'll pump some life back into your under-eye area after a long flight. They'll save you from trying to squeeze a tube of eye cream (aka another liquid) into your toiletry bag.

    11. An ultra-slim Kindle Oasis that'll allow you to read as many books as you'd like, without having to physically lug 'em around. It's glare-free and waterproof, so you can fearlessly use it while you're relaxing on the beach.

    12. A TSA-approved toiletry bag so you can take your serums and face creams with you onto the plane. One side is frosted for a little privacy, and the other is clear so security can see exactly what's inside.

    13. Or a toiletry set if most of your essentials come in tubes over 100 millilitres. It comes with four silicone bottles and two tiny tubs you can can fill up with your fave products — because why buy minis when you can use the stuff you already have!?

    14. A universal power adapter because obviously, if you're going to a country with different outlets, you'll want to be able to plug your stuff in.

    15. A pair of not-so-expensive earbuds that you won't be totally heartbroken over if they get lost or break on your adventure. They have around 32 hours of playtime, so you'll have plenty of time to jam out before you need to recharge 'em.

    16. A reusable swab that comes in its own little travel case. It'll be way easier to pack than carrying a handful of disposable cotton buds, and it'll help you cut down on single-use products, too.

    17. A set of compression packing cubes that'll help you stay organized and optimize the space in your bag. They're water-resistant, meaning your stuff won't get absolutely soaked if you get caught in bad weather while you're en route.

    18. A pack of disinfectant wipes you can use instead of hand sanitizer to clean your hands, phone, and surfaces around you while you're travelling.

    19. A detangling brush you can use on wet or dry hair. It's mini, which means you won't have to sacrifice too much cargo space in order to bring it along.

    20. A packable puffer that'll be warmer and more compact than a big ol' sweater, if you're going somewhere that isn't exactly tropical. It comes with a tiny compression sack that'll keep it nice 'n' shmoll.

    21. And finally, a multipurpose travel case that's big enough to stash your toothbrush and travel-friendly toothpaste in. You can also use it for carrying your go-to makeup brushes, if you'd rather not shove them in with the rest of your toiletries.
