    35 Travel Products To Help Make Your Next Trip Stress-Free

    Investing in this "dip clip" for your car is about to change the game on long road trips.

    1. A vacuum-free space-saving compression bag so that us over-packers can bring five outfits for a weekend trip in peace without having to cram for space. Just stick your clothes inside, zip up the bag, roll it, and push the air out through the valves at the bottom of the bag. No vacuum or pump needed!

    Promising review: "These were the things I never knew I needed for traveling. They work just as advertised and are really useful when going on a trip. I always hate at the end of a trip having to mix dirty and clean clothes — a 'laundry bag' or plastic shopping bag never really felt like a good enough separation. These bags seal up and conceal the most stinky, wet clothes from your clean unused clothes. They are going to be one of my new necessities for my big family when traveling." —Sarbello

    2. A set of Sea Bands for anyone who gets motion sickness on long car rides, plane rides, or really any vehicle that moves. It applies acupressure to each wrist and helps relive nausea and vomiting so that you can finally enjoy your much-deserved vacay.

    Promising review: "I followed the instructions and placed it about three fingers' width below my palm, and it works! For this price I cannot believe I waited this long. It's a plus that it is decent looking and can be part of your outfit. I get pretty bad motion sickness, especially on boats and planes. Sometimes I would even forgo vacations because I don't want to deal with the nausea on the plane. This past vacation, I was going on a 20+ hour flight AND a boat tour. I was realllyyyy dreading it. BUT! This time I had these magical wrist bands. I wore it for the whole flight and the whole boat tour. I wore it on these bumpy car rides up and down the mountains. The boat even idled on the water for like an hour for the sun to set. I felt ....fine?? I was AMAZED. I feel like I can live!! My family can benefit from more vacations now!" —tangomo

    3. A set of super-comfy wax earplugs that will finally let you nap on your car or plane ride despite your friend's constant snoring. They fully block out snoring noises by comfortably molding to the shape of your inner ear! Perfect for when you're sharing a hotel room and you just. need. some. sleep.

    BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says, "TBH, I swear by these so aggressively that I have them on a subscription. They're like ear glue. My apartment is on a busy street and my upstairs neighbor is a noisy human being (does this count as a subtweet??) and once I pop these babies in I can barely hear a thing. Plus, my ears never get sore with these in like they do with headphones or other earplugs."

    Promising review: "I have had an ongoing problem with traveling abroad, and staying at hotels where neighbors were noisy. I can honestly say that this is the best thing that I have purchased for that problem ever. I've had other ear plugs but these are different. I actually put these in as as directed, and then put a headband on so that they wouldn't come out because I was afraid they would. But they didn't. I slept like a baby all night long and I learned later that there was a lot of noise going on outside our room. I found that these were very comfortable for my ear, because the old style ear plugs would actually hurt my ears if I tried to sleep with them in." —Kimberley

    4. A hands-free (rotating!) phone mount to use with your tray table, chair arm, luggage handle, or really any flat surface! They can dare to delay your flight again — you'll just sit back and munch on your trail mix as you stream your favorite show hands-free.

    Perilogics is a small business creating hyper-functional tool holsters and bags for carrying your stuff on-the-go.

    Promising review: "I bought this nifty gadget about six months for a multi-leg, ultra long haul trip and it more than held up the entire duration. I was able to finagle it to fit the tray tables on different planes and like others, I find the height just nice when clamped onto a stowed tray table. It also works on my roller carry-on handle during layovers. However, I find myself using it a lot outside of travel too! Work-wise, I've clamped it onto my office desk shelving to hold my phone at eye level beside my computer. At home, I simply clamped it to a deck of cards and it turns into a versatile stand that I can place on any flat surface. Heck, I've been using it to hold my phone comfortably at eye level while watching videos in bed. It's extremely well-built and I find myself fidgeting with it all the time. Thus far it still feels solid and I don't anticipate breaking it any time soon. Even if it does break, I'll be happy to buy another one or two of it!" —Earendil

    Get it from Amazon for $12.97 (available in three colors).

    5. A Saucemoto dip clip that'll take one thing off of your co-pilot duties. This lets your car do all the sauce-holding, leaving you free to be the DJ and give the driver (almost) all the right directions.

    Promising review: "I don’t like to admit it, but sometimes I eat fast food in my car, particularly on long road trips. This holder is exactly what I would have designed if I had thought of it. There really is nothing I would change. It’s sturdy and I haven’t found a sauce yet that doesn’t fit; but if I do, there is a cup it comes with to hold 'loose' sauce." —Jr High Teacher

    Get set of two from Amazon for $10.90 (available in three colors).

    6. A vegan leather passport case with a protective side sleeve (perfect for vaccine cards!) to keep all of your important documents together and make the airport process less of a stressful hassle.

    Henney's Boutique is a California-based Etsy shop that specializes in passport holders. 

    Promising review: "Shipping was impeccable! The holder is sleek looking. It is nice and large. My COVID vaccine card fits snugly." —Alexandra Tino

    Get it from Henney's Boutique on Etsy for $11 (available in five colors). 

    7. A backseat hook that lets you hang smaller bags and backpacks to give our besties in the backseat some much-needed leg room. Or use it as a hook for the designated car trash bag on those long road trips!

    Promising review: "I thought this might be one of the silly things I sometimes fall for. Nope. These are awesome. I keep one on the driver's side headrest and the other on the passenger side. I prefer to use the passenger one, because I can reach into my purse from the driver's seat, but if I've got extra people in the car, it's nice to have the flexibility to keep my purse on either side. Also, they fit very snugly and are tough. My purse easily weighs 20 pounds, and it never looks like they're strained." —Kendra

    Get a set of two from Amazon for $5.99 (also available in black).

    8. A backseat car video monitor so that you can keep an eye on your bundle of joy with a rear-facing carseat. Now when you notice it's gotten unusually quiet for a backseat full of kids, you can check the monitor to ensure that they have (thankfully) fallen asleep after a few fights over a bag of fruit snacks.

    Note: You should only ever look at the camera when the car isn't in motion! 

    Promising review: "I saw this product on TikTok and knew I wanted to try it. I LOOOOOVE this product! I hate trying to use my rear view mirror to look into her mirror to make sure she’s okay. The quality of the video is great for the price, and I can easily see if my infant has spit up or I can see her mouth to shove a paci in if needed. I can see details like if her eyes are open or closed. The night vision isn’t too bad but not as detailed but you can see enough. But overall for the price, I would buy this product again hands-down." —Michael Giblin

    Get it from Amazon for $26.99

    9. A luggage drink caddy for anyone who considers Starbucks as essential as going through TSA when it comes to the airport. This sticks right on top of your wheeled luggage and has two pockets so that you can place your drink, phone, snacks, or whatever else you need out of your hands but within easy reach!

    Reviewers say it's ideal for a suitcase that can roll on four wheels! If you have a suitcase that has to tilt while it rolls, just be careful if the drinks are open at the top.

    Promising review: "This cup holder is perfect! It helps me a lot! Last time I took a plane with a suitcase and a cup of coffee, when it’s my turn to check my passport and ticket, the coffee cup fell to the ground and coffee sprinkled. It was a nightmare! This time I bought this cup holder, it did do me a favor! I don't have to worry about where my cup and phone are! I can free my hands to do other things. I love it so much! Hope you love it too." —Philip

    Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in 29 colors).

    10. A handy RFID-blocking travel wallet that can store so many of your usual travel and wallet contents, you'll think Hermione cast an undetectable extension charm on it. It can store your passport, boarding pass, three credit cards, a slim card, your ID, a ticket, your phone, your coins, a key, a pen, and.. I think that's it? This is great for keeping everything together, especially for a multi-destination trip!

    reviewer image of the orange wallet
    Reviewer image showing it snapped shut with contents inside

    Promising review: "I absolutely love this wallet. I needed a new travel wallet, and this holds everything I need all in one place, and it still closes nicely and stays flat! I can fit my boarding pass, passport, ID, credit cards, money, checked baggage tickets, receipts, and more in it, yet it doesn’t bulk up or look like an overstuffed mess. It's just amazing. The description says it only holds US money, but I just used the boarding pass flap to hold all my Japanese yen (¥), which are larger. I didn’t use the zippered pocket for coins as I much prefer a separate coin purse for that sort of thing. I definitely recommend to anyone who travels a lot!" —Anthony Luu

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

    11. A pair of super-comfy period-proof underwear for when you're traveling during your least favorite time of month and don't have immediate access to bathrooms. These are designed to hold two tampons' worth of period blood and can also be used for overnight leakage protection while sleeping on those very white sheets that every hotel bed seems to have.

    You can pair them with a pad if you have a heavy flow! Also, unlike your regular undies, you don't have to scrub the blood out of these. They're designed so it rinses right out in the sink with soap and warm water, and can get tossed in the washer and dryer from there. You can read BuzzFeed's full Bambody period underwear review for more deets!

    Psst — reviewers love these undies, but suggest sizing up!

    Promising review: "My job requires traveling to places that may not always have a bathroom, so when I’m on my period I wear these as a fail safe in case my tampon or pad is at a max and I’m not somewhere I can change them out. It’s worked great so far and it makes it far more comfortable on the job." —Sam

    Get it from Amazon for $17.49+ (available in women's sizes 4–13, multiple colors, and in packs).

    12. waterproof pouch if you want to keep your phone dry while taking pics on a pool floatie or exploring at the beach. It allows you to use your phone's touchscreen while keeping it safe, so nothing can stop you from documenting every second of your tropical getaway.

    It fits any phone up to 100 mm x 170 mm (or about 3.9 inches x 6.7 inches). It's also a great fix for keeping out sand and dirt (and a great option for runners, if you're caught in the rain but still want to be able to toggle through your music options).

    I've used this while tubing in the Bahamas and when I took my phone out, you wouldn't even be able to tell it was ever near water. It was also super easy to operate my phone and I was able to capture the most Instagram-worthy underwater pics!

    Promising review: "I purchased this case in July for an upcoming canoe trip with a friend, and as luck would have it, we flipped our canoe. Being the rebel that I am, I chose not to wear my phone around my neck, and so it, my ID, and my debit card ended up at the bottom of the river and I just assumed it would be discovered a thousand years from now and placed in a museum as an ancient artifact. Fast forward to this week. I was contacted via FB by an Alachua County Sheriff’s Office diver and guess what he found? Yup, my phone case with all of the contents intact and dry as a bone! He had to cut the case open, but there was not one single drop of water in it and he ended up purchasing a case for himself because he was just that impressed!" —Julie McDonald

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

    13. A water bottle cup holder adapter for when you're on a road trip to an extra hot location and need to make sure you can reach for your trusty HydroFlask without having to rescue it from the passenger side's floor. This adapter can perfectly fit any larger bottles so that you can stay hydrated and focused on the road!

    Wine and Whiskey Co / Etsy

    Wine and Whiskey Co. is a Texas-based Etsy shop established in 2021 that specializes in custom tees, mugs, and hoodies. 

    Promising review: "I had to remove the foam wrap that was on it for it to fit in my cup holder, but now it works perfectly. No more having my water bottle in the seat next to me, rolling on the floor, or spilling 'cause I forgot to close it! Yay!" —sprocketnellie 

    Get it from Wine and Whiskey Co. on Etsy for $12.99

    14. A fun little snack spinner that'll be your best friend if you're traveling with picky eaters — especially picky kiddos! It lets you carry up to five kinds of snacks in a compact way. Plus, some of us just need some VARIETY in our array of road trip munchies.

    And it's dishwasher-safe! Check out a TikTok of the snack spinner in action.

    Promising review: "My kids love these snack organizers and it's a great way to offer several choices at once. They're also perfect for traveling because they're easy to take and very compact. They are also fun and engaging when children have to push the spinner to get a new box to open. I would definitely buy these again. I even send them in my kids lunch boxes! they are super fun and very durable. We most recently took them on vacation with us and use them the whole week. There are perfect for the plane and car rides especially." —Brittany Tremblay

    Get it from Amazon for $29.95 (available in five colors).

    15. An always handy international travel adaptor if you're tired of calling dibs on who gets the charger when you get back to the hotel. It has a universal input that lets you charge four devices at once so that everyone's phone is on full charge by the time you wake up from your power nap to go to dinner.

    Promising review: "LOVE this adapter! I travel from time to time internationally and have always used just the 'standard' adapters found in airports. Could not pass up the opportunity to purchase this one after reading the reviews. Exceeded my expectations of what it was capable of. Used on a recent trip to Germany and it handled everything needed — laptop, cell phone (USB ports are so very welcome), alarm clock, dryer, etc. Did not miss a beat on the power provided. And, it is also attractive looking ;-) Thank you for making such a great, dependable product!" —Monkey 

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99

    16. And a highly portable small power bank charger because having a quick and easy way to get a charge on your phone is a MUST when traveling anywhere. (Especially when you know you'll be out all day!) Oh, and it has over 56,000 5-star ratings!

    Promising review: "This little gem is amazing! This year we were fortunate enough to do some local traveling and attend quite a few concerts this year. I take a ton of videos and pictures, often draining the battery. This power-packed product charged not only my phone when it was low, but my boyfriend’s AND the girl next to her!! Since you can only take small bags into venues, this slipped right into the pocket behind my phone! We had numerous comments on it because of the little paw charge indicator. The flashing came in handy a few times when we found ourselves in the dark! I will be buying more and giving them as gifts this year!" —Annetastic

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in five colors).

    17. A transparent TSA-approved toiletry bag that you can use for your liquids and makeup. It allows airport security (and you) to easily identify its contents so that you're at your gate with your Starbucks in hand in no time.

    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

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

    18. A pair of compression socks so you *don't* have to dread that long flight. These give you that extra comfort while in the air if you're prone to swelling in your feet and legs — and they're actually pretty stylish!

    Promising review: "Took a 10-hour flight overseas, and I am usually prone to ankle/foot swelling on long-haul flights like that. Wore these for the entire flight and they worked perfectly! No swelling when I landed! They're definitely snug feeling, but not constrictive to the point where my calves or feet ever hurt. I wouldn't recommend wearing for longer than your actual travel time because they do get a bit uncomfortable if you're thinking of wearing all day, but perfect for those long flights!" —Shireen

    Get it from Amazon for $9.23+ (available in 13 colors and sizes S–XXL). 

    19. A hybrid travel planner and journal — especially perfect if you're the "mom" of the group and love having all the plans for the upcoming trip organized ahead of time. It also has areas that let you document your experiences throughout the trip so that you can look back on them to help you get through your post-travel blues!

    Get it from Amazon for $13.95 or The Lamare on Etsy for $14.95

    20. A compact travel razor that will take up almost no space in your checked luggage — perfect for touch-ups when you're on a trip with a beach destination!

    Amazon

    Promising review: "I bought this originally for traveling, but quickly switched to using it at home as well. I feel like you have a lot more control when your hand is closer to the blade, I cut myself way less with this than a regular razor. Also the case is great, not just for the plane, but also so much better than those dumb flimsy suction cup hooks they give you. Blades seem to last longer because they're slightly more protected." —Lena V 

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99

    21. A reusable water bottle with a daily pill organizer so that you have both your H2O and daily medication (or vitamins!) in one sleek bottle. Now, every time you reach for a dose of hydration, you'll be reminded to take your pills as well!

    Get it from Amazon for $15.99.

    22. A foldable jewelry organizer so you can stop throwing your shiny accessories into plastic zipper bags and having them come out all tangled afterward. This is made with a soft quilted cotton to keep all your earrings, bracelets, and necklaces safe and tangle-free while in your luggage.

    Amazon

    Promising review: "Absolutely love this! I purchased it for a week-long vacation and it kept my jewelry safe and untangled. I had stopped traveling with necklaces because they always wound up a tangled mess. No more! Bonus is that the soft pink case is beautiful. It is also very slim so it’s easy to pack or carry in your purse. Highly recommend this product! My favorite purchase in a long time!" —Petite and Pampered Boutique 

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in two sizes and nine colors). 

    23. And "The Ring Thing" — it's waterproof and has a protective padded inner base and three separators to prevent rings from touching each other. Keep it conveniently attached to your bag as you go from place to place on your vacay. A must-have for avid travelers!

So convenient and helpful in safeguarding their precious items...They LOVE! Thank you so much for making such a wonderful product at a reasonable price and quick delivery!" —Celia Flynn

    Get it from Ring Thing Designs on Etsy for $19.95 (available in six colors). 

    24. An exhaustive packing checklist to help ensure that you arrive at (and depart from) your destination with absolutely everything you need! Much more helpful than having to open up your notes app every time you think of something you might forget to pack before you leave the next morning.

    packing checklist that says pack this
    Amazon

    Promising review: "We travel frequently and have two children. As any parent knows, packing for yourself and your children can be overwhelming (especially for a trip longer than a few days). I have found this list to be a lifesaver and I also give it as a gift for other traveling families. It is easy to plan, organize, and list out items that are easily forgotten. You can also list the quantity of each item needed. It has a variety of clothing options and space to add more. Overall, wonderful purchase and has likely saved me many forgotten items!" —I-really-bought-this

    25. A water-resistant Under Armour face mask (with over 14,000 5-star ratings!) that actually makes it possible to nap on a plane without fabric getting sucked into your mouth every time you inhale. It sits off your lips and is made with the company's Iso-Chill fabric that stays cool to the touch.

    BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says, "I have two of these in my own rotation, and I'm impressed by how comfortable they are on long flights. The straps are super soft on your ears — I've gotten so used to straps chafing and was surprised by what a difference this made. I gifted one of these to my dad for Christmas, too, and it's his go-to for walks and errand running. It's just an overall easier mask to breathe in while still maintaining a tight fit and keeping the people around you safe!"

    Promising review: "We work from home so I haven't thought much about airborne pathogens in close quarter environments, until my first business trip in 18 months, yikes. Bought this mask after great testimonials from colleagues who also travel, it worked perfectly for me. Continuous wearing up to seven hours in airports and several flights was no problem, very comfortable with great airflow. Is this an N95? No, of course not, but it is an effective barrier that you will use without 'taking breaks' and risking exposure. Highly recommended!!" —T. Martin 

    Get it from Amazon for $9.33+ (available in five sizes and 11 colors; for reference, Emma is wearing the Small-Medium above).

    26. A set of two foldable waterproof shoe bags you will be soooooo glad you bought to keep your shoes separate from your nice clothes, especially when your last vacation day might end in a downpour or a muddy hike!

    Promising review: "Took this on vacation and I bought two, one for myself and one for my boyfriend. My feet are women’s size 6 and my boyfriend's are men’s size 9. We were both able to fit one pair of slipper/slides and one pair of shoes. My boyfriend and I just placed on top of each other. We had mud on our shoes and sand but it didn’t get mixed up with the rest of our belongings (hence why I purchased the darker color, I knew the lighter one would stain/look so dirty). I will def use this every single time I travel." —OctoberPaperTrails

    27. An accurately named "Butt Be Dry," which allows you to no longer hesitate about sitting on a bench that looks like it's been rained on after a long day of walking. This acts as a lightweight fanny pack that turns into a small waterproof tarp for your derrière so that you can park it anywhere you so please.

    Promising review: "This is awesome! It is wonderfully made and serves a great purpose. It arrived promptly on Monday and Tuesday. I used it on a hike up Tiger Mountain in Washington State. We got to the top and there was snow on the benches; I was able to easily sit down and enjoy my lunch with my hiking buddy. Cool product — thanks!" —Lee

    Get it from Butt Be Dry on Etsy for $19.99 (available in nine colors).

    28. A 50-count set of laundry soap sheets that might be just the thing you need to give your undies a quick cleanup (especially if you realize you need more than you packed). You can use these to hand-wash your clothes right in the sink, let them air dry, and have them ready for round two.

    Get a set of 50 from Amazon for $12.55 (also available in a hand soap version). 

    29. portable doggie water bottle for those long walks in the sun and camping trips when your furry friend needs access to a water break. Toss it in your bag without fear of any spills or wrap it around your wrist with the attached strap so that your dog can get all the zoomies they want, then re-hydrate on the spot.

    Promising review: "I saw this on a TikTok video and checked on Amazon and ordered it. My toy poodle loves it and drank out of it with no hesitation. With the heat wave we are having in California right now I want to be sure she is well hydrated. Before I leave the house I fill the holder with ice and water and I am set. Easy to clean and no spilled water in the car. Easy to throw in my purse and have it when we are out walking around. I know what people with dogs are getting for Christmas this year." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $15.98+ (available in three colors and two sizes). 

    30. A bar of natural, plastic-free solid shampoo you can toss into your carry-on without fear of it exploding or getting sent into soap exile by TSA. 

    Promising review: "First time I bought this soap it was for traveling. Lugging around large bottles of shampoo for six people for a 4–6-week vacation is just not an option, and buying shampoo is sketchy since a couple of us have soap allergies. The little bar packs up perfectly in a little baggie and takes the smallest amount of luggage space. One bar washed six heads of hair for five weeks!! Every day!! Suds well and cleans well." —Dominique B. 

    Get it from Amazon for $15.49+ (available in 10 scents).

    31. And a machine-washable waterproof soap travel case ensuring your bars of soap stay separate from the array of liquids in your toiletries bag.

    Promising review: "Wow. I took this on vacation, during which we walked about 20,000 steps daily. And of course my shoes being to rub against parts of my feet, terribly. But I smeared this on and it was amazing. I did have to reapply a few times a day, in public, but I highly recommend this!! I used it on my toes, ankle area, etc., and my feet felt great (normal)." —Y.

    Promising review: "These were a lifesaver. I was walking to the bus and decided it was a great decision to drink coffee while walking. Like a scene from an infomercial, I spilled coffee all over my white shirt. Yes, the classic coffee on the white shirt. Luckily I had one of these in my bag (I put one in each of my most-used purses in anticipation of my clumsiness). I went into a store bathroom and quickly scrubbed the Tide To-Go on my shirt. All of the coffee blobs went away and once the awkward wet splotches dried up, my shirt was perfectly white again. You've got yourself a big fan, Tide." —NAD
