Is there a limit on toiletries in a suitcase?

Okay, so you’re wondering if you can just chuck all your lotions and potions into your suitcase without a care in the world? I totally get it – who wants to be caught short on vacation, right?

Well, the short answer is, yeah, there are limits, sadly. Think of it this way: if you’re only taking a carry-on, anything liquid-y that’s bigger than 100ml (that’s about 3.4 ounces for those of us who still think in old money!) needs to go in your checked bag. I learned this the hard way once, trying to sneak a half-full bottle of my favorite shampoo through security – major facepalm moment!

And here’s a pro tip: even if you’ve used half of a bigger bottle, say a 200ml bottle of sunscreen, they’ll probably still confiscate it. Trust me, I’ve seen it happen! So, if you’re at all unsure, just play it safe and tuck it away in your checked luggage. It’s better to be safe than sorry, especially when it comes to your precious beauty products, don’t you think? It’s such a pain to lose them at security!
