This is such a handy video - toiletries are always such a pain to pack!

i dont need to pack but i keep on watching ur video's😁😁 never get bored of them😉

Cotton pads. I spray mine with toner pre-travel, & stack then in a screw-top tub (I personally use one from Lush handmade cosmetics that used to have face moisturiser in). I tip a little extra toner in to soak the pads & make sure they're all covered. I pack enough for every day & night I'm away, plus one extra day in case of travel delays. One less bottle of liquid to pack :)

Spent an hour researching on amazon... then found this jewel which answered all my questions. Thank you!!!

Yes!!! The container I mentioned in my previous post just arrived and it fits 14 cotton rounds! That's enough for two weeks of travel for me. If I could, I'd post a photo!!

Coming back to this video after a long time just for memories, i still use use your tips and tricks. Love ur vids always, hope ur safe and healthy ~

Great video. I just returned from a trip and I sure wish I had seen your video before I left. I was going crazy trying to figure out all that I could take. I decided to take a carry-on for the first time instead of paying $$ to check a bag in. Figured the airline had enough of my money. Thanks for all the suggestions and I'll sure be purchasing these items and will be prepared on the next trip I take.

I love Gotoobs. I traveled for 3 weeks in Italy with these. I used the small ones for shampoo and conditioner and the larger one for my body wash and they lasted the whole time. The jars are great for hair/wax paste as well as other creams. The larger one has a suction cup that sticks on the shower wall.

I like to use "the finger technique" :)

I love how well the autofocus works! Great tips Sonia! I also love the sharpness and cleanliness of everything in the room.

When I travel, I LOVE to bring my solid shampoo and solid conditioner from LUSH. It totally takes away any worries about spillage and totally eco friendly :)

I just got something EXACTLY like those called SmartTubes at Marshals and I LOVE them! Everything she said in the video is true and it is great! Recommend for anyone :)

Great tips! I do the exact same thing since I only travel with a carry-on now It's so much easier to travel this way. Happy Travels from a fellow travel KZfaqr:)

You are a LIFESAVER! I normally just put each individual bottle in a zip-lock bag, and then cram them all into a travel pouch. It adds so much extra bulk and is such a pain!

You are pretty, and not irritating, unlike 95% of American youtubers. Thanks!

I have spent 3 hours watching all of your videos... I think I'm obsessed! Love them love them, been looking for videos like these for so long :') Saludos desde Venezuela!

I just found your channel and I love it!! I travel a ton, and already use most of your tips, but have found a few new ones that are great!! Have you tried shampoo and conditioner bars from Lush? They're solid bars, and fit in small aluminum tins (the size of a small can of tuna). They can be carried on aside from your liquid allotment, and work great. I used one bar of each for a two month trip, and had plenty to spare when I got home. They have different formulas for different hair types. Not sponsored by them or anything, just a huge fan!! I also use their bars of soap with a fast drying flat loofah instead of body soap! Anything non-liquid helps!! Hope you try them out!

This is excellent! I have a few trips planned for 2014 and any tips for packing are greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Sonia, you're my travel guru! I've been looking for such containers for ages!!!!

I so very much enjoy your tips. They are very useful for my first trip alone to a foreign country. Thank u!

The best container I have found for cotton pads is believe it or not, a retainer case! It fits about 10-15 pads in just the most perfect compact size for travel. I stole mine from my little sister but you can find them online or at a local orthodontist super cheap or sometimes even free! They work perfectly:)

TOILET TREES

Love, love, love your videos!! For QTips/Cotton Rounds/Cotton Balls, I put them in those little Snack Ziplocs and push out all the air. They stay in place and the bag is relatively flat and if you're worried the baggie will split, reinforce the three sides of a brand new Ziploc with packing tape, even up over the ends of the zip section. I do actually count out the number of these items that I'll use and take just that amount plus a couple extra. Unless you think you'll accidentally bend your QTips or you're taking a lot of QTips/Cotton Rounds/Cotton Balls (where a rigid container would be a help to shove as many as you can get in there and you're still taking up the same volume in your bag), I would think that something flat to a shaped case would be preferable. And, while the containers are light, a plastic baggie is still lighter. The weight of individual light things *is* additive :) And, yes, I do a pretty bad container fetish so it pains me to use boring Ziplocs over those adorable containers, but minimizing weight and bulkiness reign.

LOOOOVEEE YOUR PACKING GUIDES FOREVER!

Oh goodness thanks for this video! I've never traveled by air & watching this video just made my life that much easier, one less thing to stress about when it comes to traveling! :D

Your videos make traveling so much easier. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

Sonia, your packing tips are beyond helpful. I think I watched every video in preparation for my study abroad trip last year. I know you love packing for toiletries, this is my favorite part too. I have a suggestion, on a video. "What is considered a liquid?" I discovered after going through heathrow airport, which is the strictest check I've gone through, that contacts are considered liquids and they make you fit this into your liquid count, thankfully I had some space left and I didn't have to toss away any of my toiletries to make them fit. But It never crossed my mind that this would be counted as a liquid, I'm sure there are other items that we forget about.

not only the tips are TOP! but the way you say it is even better! you ROCK! keep the smile :D

Love your packing toiletries packing and agree with travelling experience this is the best. For cotton pads I just use small ziplock just big enough to fit the cotton pads, until can find a better option

You're amazing! I am equally obsessed with my toiletries... It's romance whenever I prepare these ;)

Thanks for the tips! I need it for traveling since I over pack Sonia =)

Okay I am so glad I came across this video cuz I had a lot of questions about the requirements and what to bring... But now I don't! Thank You!!!!

hi Sonia just wanted to say u have amazing tips!!! we r going to great lakes for my brothers graduation soon and these r the perfect tips :)!!!

Great video! Re: cotton pads, I simply use a small plastic bag and but that in the transparent bag. I don't really see the need for another container for them. It's simple and doesn't take space.

Alternative: make paper soap with your shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and hand soap, and you can transport the whole bottle of your favorite, without breaking any transport regs. All you need is butter (or rice ) paper, if you want something that completely dissolves. Alternately to that, if you have wipes, you can dry them out and use them instead of the paper. You won’t have something that completely dissolves, but you can dry your soap liquids on them, and have wash clothes that you put in water and already have the soap on them. You can also use an old sheet or old flannel shirt: just cut squares and seal the edges, paint your soap cleaner on both sides, let dry, and fold or roll up and store in a ziplock baggie. A lot of these can take up very little space, little weight, and are easy and fun to use.

Love your tips Sonia! Just started watching and am very excited to stay tuned in for more! Love, love, love!

Those tubs are AWSOME!! I'm getting them DEFINITELY!!

Just found you through Clean My Space! Melissa liked this vid! So excited!!

Sonia, you are ridiculously gorgeous and charming. You have also given me a newfound confidence for my travels to Europe this summer. Thank you!

Awesome! Might want to look into reusable cotton pads, it's environment-friendly :) love the tips here, it's more practical than the travel sized products we see in the store!

This really helped because I'm doing last minute packing for New Jersey this Saturday

i love her so much i mean...really she helps me a lot in packing thank you so much

Hi Sonia! I just discovered your channel! You're the best! :) This summer I'm going to Greece for one month. I would LOVE a video on how and what to pack for a long trip for different activities: beach, hiking, visiting!! Thank you so much and continue your great job!! xoxo

Enjoyed this video and the editing is awesome.

I love to use making tapes also, sealing the bottles, use it to make some icon for my suitcase, life saving for open up shoes sole. One technique I use to get the last bit of liquidity product, is to make the bottle or container full of air, the close the cap, hold the end of the tube and swing it vigorously. You will find the last drop never end after a minute of each swing. It works for me at home on toothpaste, the tube of mayonnaise in the kitchen, etc.

Thanks for the awesome video! I also never knew there were those pretty colours of masking tape! Lol

Can you maybe talk about school trips. I am going on a six day and five night Quebec trip with my french school and I dont really know what to expect. I love all of your videos and know that you are the one to go to for traveling advice. thank you!!! Keep making great videos!!!!!

You're GOOD. Your advice, is very good. As a lifetime traveler, I've learned a few new tricks. Like what to do with those packing cubes. They're going to UK and Rome.

Great tips!! Just in time for my trip this weekend!

Would love to know how it goes..

Could you make a video about packing your cosmetics? Tips or advice would be great, what do you take on holiday makeup wise? I really enjoy your videos :)

I just found this..thanks I really needed this for upcoming travel

i travel almost 10 times a year, n i think i am pretty much doing the same thing you do :D but i still love watching!!

I like it! So simple!

I love your videos!!!!! I have a week long trip to Mexico soon and have tips from a lot of your videos. I am a chronic over packer, so i will use your techniques to get down to 1 carryon suitcase. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Sonia Thank you thank you thank you a million times, I am traveling next month and was on the prowl for new bottles and I love the ones you had on here now I gotta go buy em... Lucille xoxo

Amazing! Best TSA-approved toiletries video I've seen! Thank you for the brilliant tips, just ordered my own GoToobs :)

why not use a powder foundation container to stack some of the pads in?

@Kylie Crawford That limit is only if you're bringing a carry on bag. You can pack full sized bottles of shampoo, conditioner, face wash etc. if you're checking your bag;

I love toiletries! They are so useful and cute.

Great video! Not sure I never thought of masking tape (I use the smaller half ziplocs to wrap each individual bottle of liquidy liquids). A Ziploc is also great for cotton pads and q-tips. BTW, your stick deodorant doesn't have to be in the Ziploc - it's not a liquid or gel. Saves room for suntan lotion or more body lotion.

im going to europe this summer, booked my ticket today...so excited! lol thanks for the video

Oh my god you are so pretty, and these videos are so enjoyable and helpful! I will definitely be looking into getting some of these things

I add this video to my "super-useful-list" right now :-D! Thanks Sonia =)!

Sonia!!! I FINALLY FOUND THE BOTTLES THAT ARE LIKE THE GOTOOB IN CANADA!!! YAY!!! I found them at Bentleys which is a bags and travel type store and the brand is Tracker. They are identical to the GoToob and are amazing. I got 2 for $16.99 :) :)

Thank you! Lol I want to go to pax east this year but the tickets are sold out and I don't think my parent would want a 17 yearold to go but this video comes in handy!

Please can you do some train related videos? I go on trains a lot and your travel-savyness would be great to sooth my stress.

I agree traveling with these items can be a big problem.Great Video Great tips!

Thanks so much! I luv my toiletries.

I am watching it 8 years later. By the way, thanks for the tips.

Could you talk about how and what to pack for winter and spring season?

Thanks Sonia, I use "hubba hubba bubbletape" pkt. I soak them in makeup remover and put them in the container.

Make a video on what you keep in your makeup bag when traveling :D

it looks like she is sponsoring

awesome bottles. have to get those.

Hey my name is Sonya! Anyways I'm going to Atlantis in August and this really helped!

Hey.... I have a tip you can reuse the Nivea cream tub or container to use cotton pads. And lots of love to ur channel from 🇮🇳

Wow! Really useful video, I love your channel!

Loved this video!

Those Gotoobs are awesome...however, I have found that they can only hold certain products. Definitely TEST the liquids out prior to travel...like a few weeks if possible (so you can get replacements from the manufacturer, they do have a lifetime warranty). Make sure you read the insert/instructions so you aren't putting something in there that could void the warranty also!! Other than that...they are amazing!! I adore them for shampoo, conditioner and body wash! Beyond that, I use 5ml. airless pump bottles...those are pretty sweet as well and you get the last drop!

Have you tried the medium size of those gotubb jars that you put you creams in? Those would be the perfect size for cotton pads. I usually use a snack ziplock back. LOVE your videos!!!

Pretty cool same as my roadeavour's travel bottle!

How do you choose where to go next?? I always have a hard time deciding. Any tips?! :) Love your vids!!

Thanks for watching :)

Thanks for doing this for me!!!!!

good idea!! thanks

If I add a product to my Wish List at Amazon to purchase later will you still get a commission? I discovered your videos when I did a search for anything Paris. Saw the people watching video and now I'm hooked. Keep the videos coming!

Always love your videos! And i love you Sonia! 3

Hi Sonyia, do the 3oz liquid rule apply to check in luggage's as well? Thank you.

Lush Solid Shampoo and Conditioner bars are great for travel, same with the shower jellies and massage bars.

Where could I find a plastic bag similar to the one you use?? I need a new one :). Love your videos!!

Hi im going to spain in a couple of days and I have been watching your videos you are so helpful is there any tips you have for packing for a weeks trip. Xx p.s I love your videos your awesome xx

love your travel videos Sonia!!

Lovely tips..I like it

This was so helpful thank you ! 😎

Thanks a lot for the tips Sonia! :)

Awesome video! Wish I had watched this before my last trip to Europe. :-)

You seem like such a fun person to hang out with lol xo

I will use the 4 in 1 stuff, which is conditioning shampoo, body shower, bathing soap, and facial cleaner. But I will pack a small bottle of conditioner, in case my hair is too dry. Also, I will use the contact lens case to store my cream, liquid foundation. It's thin, waterproof, cheap. Most important thing is, it won't break easily. As I paid for other little container at the same price. it broke when it was in my handbag, stuff inside go everywhere. It's messy and quite troublesome to clean

I use a small ziplock bag (the ones that are about half the size of a sandwich ziplock) for my cotton pads. It works pretty well for me (stays dry, doesn't take up extra room).
