These Editor-Tested Travel Toiletry Bottles Are TSA-Approved and Leakproof

Never worry about a spill again.
9 Best Travel Toiletry Bottles 2025 Leakproof and Reusable Picks

When you're packing a carry-on for an upcoming trip—be it a quick jaunt to New York City or a dreamy stay in Paris—it's important to consider TSA's strict policy on liquids. Travelers are limited to small containers that are 3.4 ounces or less per item. This means you'll need to leave your full-size products at home and use travel toiletry bottles to hold your favorite skincare, body care, and hair products. You might be tempted to run out and buy miniature versions of your daily essentials—but that quickly adds up to a whole lot of money and single-use plastic.

It pays to invest in well-made, reusable toiletry bottles that can accompany you on countless trips near and far. And after five years as a travel editor, I've learned that not all toiletry bottles are created equal; some leak, some are impossible to clean, and others are too bulky to fit comfortably in a Dopp kit. To find the best travel toiletry bottles, I tested dozens of options ranging in price, design, and material. It turns out, there are several great leakproof options on the market for every type of product, whether you need an easy-to-squeeze bottle for your body wash or a small jar for your nighttime moisturizer.

Read on for my picks of the best travel toiletry bottles to protect your shampoos, soaps, and serums—and your suitcase too. These are the TSA-approved bottles, jars, and containers I reach for trip after trip.

FAQ:

What is TSA's liquid policy?

TSA allows travelers to bring a quart-sized bag of liquids, aerosols, gels, creams, and pastes in your carry-on bag. These are limited to travel-sized containers that are 3.4 ounces or less per item. Exemptions to this policy include medications and infant and child nourishments.

Are travel toiletry bottles required if I'm checking a bag? 

Travelers are allowed to bring full-size products if they are checking a bag. However, if you are traveling with a carry-on, you will need your products to be stored in toiletry bottles that are 3.4 ounces or less.

How did we test these toiletry bottles?

I scoured the internet to find the most popular travel toiletry bottles—searching across a variety of retailers, reading hundreds of reviews, and considering online ratings. After my initial research, I put many reusable toiletry bottles to the test to determine which ones are actually worth traveling with. I've filled them with a variety of skincare, hair care, and body products, including body wash, sunscreen, and leave-in conditioner. I've even left these filled containers upside down overnight to see if there were any unexpected leaks. Some of these toiletry bottles are long-lasting favorites of mine that I've been traveling with for years.

Cadence

Bestseller set

I could rave all day about how much I love Cadence Capsules—if you really want to upgrade your collection of travel bottles, look no further. I've been using them for three years and they really are my favorite. The TSA-approved, BPA-free capsules are magnetic, so they cling to one another in any Dopp kit, reducing the space taken up. They're designed without any right angles or edges, making them the easiest on our list to clean. They also feature interchangeable, magnetic labels, so you know exactly what product you're reaching for, whether that's shampoo or makeup remover. Best of all, they are 100% leakproof.

You can use these capsules for anything really, from shampoo and body wash to makeup remover and moisturizer. Along with liquid toiletries, I regularly use them to hold medications like Advil and Benadryl, daily vitamins, and safety pins. There are three standard sizes available: The Small (0.56 oz.), The Medium (1.32 oz.), and The Large (2.75 oz.). If you need more space, simply add on the Flex Extender, which can be twisted onto any Flex Capsule to give you room for extra product. You can buy individual bottles, customize your own routine, or choose a set like this bestseller bundle, which really has it all. The Bestseller Set features five medium-sized capsules, two small ones, and one flex extender. Labels included in the bundle are shampoo, conditioner, body wash, cleanser, moisturizer, a pill icon, and a sun icon (for SPF). The latest innovation from Cadence is its Spatula, a slim precision tool that scoops the product out of the capsule and makes reaching every last drop easier than ever.

Pros: It's easy to get every last drop of product inside each capsule and just as easy to rinse out and reuse; the interchangeable labels can be swapped out depending on what you're packing.
Cons: These are the most expensive options on our list.

Tocelffe

18-pack travel bottles

This Amazon bestseller is versatile enough for every type of traveler. The 18-pack from Tocelffe features four silicone bottles of varying size (two 3-oz. bottles and two 2-oz. bottles), four small jars for creams and serums, two spray bottles, two spatulas, a funnel, labels, and a cleaning brush. These all come in a waterproof toiletry bag that you can reuse to carry makeup or tech essentials. In this set, I find myself mostly reaching for the ultra-soft silicone bottles, which are great for products like body wash, shampoo, and micellar water. Each of these bottles features three-layer leak-proof tops so you don't have to worry about spills in your bag. Something I love about these bottles is how they can be bent and squeezed easily to get every last bit of product out of them.

Pros: Very affordable, comes in a clear toiletry case, and the bottles' wide opening makes it easy to refill.
Cons: The small plastic jars are not as reliable as the silicone bottles in this set.

Humangear

GoToob+ travel bottles

Humangear's three-pack of soft silicone bottles is among my most-used toiletry bottles. They're available in four different sizes (0.9 oz., 1.7 oz., 2.5 oz., and 3.4 oz.), and a few different colorways. The cool thing about these is the LoopLock that adds an extra layer of security to the lid and can be used to hang from a hook or clip onto a bag, making them a nice choice for camping or other outdoor activities. I have these in the large 3.4-ounce size and reach for them the most for products I prefer to squeeze out, including body wash and shampoo. Since the exterior of the bottles is slightly transparent, it's easy to see how much product you have left. Plus, the large opening makes them easy to refill and wash after use. If you're looking for a few leakproof bottles to add to your Dopp kit and don't need a whole set varying in size, this is a great choice. They're also TSA-approved, BPA-free, and food safe.

Pros: These can be hung from a hook or clipped onto a bag.
Cons: There are only three bottles in each set.

LiquiSnugs

Silicone travel bottles with suction cups

No matter how organized I try to stay, my hotel bathroom counter always becomes cluttered with too many toiletries and hair products. The LiquiSnugs look like your classic silicone travel bottles, but they feature a clever suction cup on the back that allows you to stick them onto any shower wall—freeing up limited counter space. These are great for in-shower products like shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. This set of four bottles features two 3-oz. bottles and two 2-oz. bottles, so you can choose how much product you need depending on the length of your trip. Another smart design feature: Twist the top to adjust the label name so you won't forget what's inside. I've had these for about three years now and often reach for them when packing shampoo and conditioner.

Pros: The unique suction cup design makes them great for shower products.
Cons: These occasionally will fall off shower walls if there's not a little bit of water to keep the suction in place.

Best for cleansers and serums

S'well

Travel bottle set

You probably know and love S'well for its reusable water bottles, but the brand's travel toiletry bottles are also worth checking out. This set of three 3.4-oz. bottles comes in a nice reusable toiletry bag (much nicer than some of the less expensive plastic ones), and each bottle has a cover on top and a twist-to-lock cap to keep products secure. Made from recycled aluminum, these lightweight bottles feature a leakproof pump that's best suited for face wash, serums, gels, and leave-in conditioners—although they can be used for other hair and body products, too. Even hand sanitizer works well in these bottles. I love the pump on these—of all the bottles I've tested, these ones feel most like I'm using my full-size products at home. I use this to hold my face cleanser on every trip, whether it's a quick weekend away or a weeklong vacation. Plus, they look really chic on the bathroom counter.

Pros: Each bottle has a cap for extra security and the pump works well for cleansers and gels.
Cons: Because of the pump, it's not ideal for very thick products.

Mrsdry

TSA-approved travel containers

I tested these TSA-approved travel containers with face serums, creams, moisturizers, and sunscreen in mind. These compact, jar-like containers work for a variety of products that you can scoop out with your fingers. I use these for a few of my skincare essentials and they barely take up any room in my toiletry bag. If you like the look of Cadence Capsules but want something a little more affordable, this set of four silicone containers is a nice alternative. The wide opening makes them easy to refill and clean, and the twist-off caps prevent products from spilling. At $10, you can't go wrong with these tiny, lightweight containers.

Pros: Wide opening for easy refilling and cleaning.
Cons: Not ideal for products that need to be pumped or squeezed out.

Best for a variety of products

The set comes with four silicone bottles, four jars, two spray bottles, two scoopers, a funnel, and a cleaning brush. The variety means you can pack everything from soap and shampoo to serums and sprays in here, and the cleaning brush makes it easy to clean and reuse the bottles. If you're a new traveler or want to upgrade your entire collection, this set of travel bottles is a great place to start.

Pros: The set features a variety of container types. 
Cons: The toiletry case the bottles come in isn't the best quality.

If you're packing toiletries for your entire family, this 21-pack of travel bottles has you covered. This set comes with four silicone bottles, four cream jars, four toothbrush covers, two spray bottles, two pump bottles, two trowels, a funnel, and labels to keep everything straight. Whether it's a trip to Disney World or a multi-generational cruise, this set makes packing for the whole family easy.

Okelon

Mini refillable perfume bottles

I used to buy miniature versions of each of my favorite fragrances. But let's be real—those travel-size perfume bottles are expensive! They're often made of glass, too, making them vulnerable to breaking in your luggage. Enter these mini refillable perfume bottles: Each of these holds 0.2 ounces of your favorite scent—about 50 sprays worth, so you'll have more than enough for a long vacation. This set comes with four spray bottles, so you can bring all of your go-to fragrances with you. And they are so easy to use—simply pull off the top of your full-size perfume, press the bottom of the mini bottle on top of it, and keep clicking until it's refilled. Each of the bottles has a clear vial inside so you can see how much product you have left. My favorite part: These are so tiny—think the size of a lipstick—so I can even bring them with me on a date night when I'm only carrying a small purse. I always keep one in my backpack and my handbag—just in case.

Pros: Easy to refill and compact enough to fit in even the tiniest of travel bags.
Cons: These spray bottles wont match the look of your full-size perfume and don't have labels, so you'll have to remember based on the color of the mini bottle you choose. Also, these can be refilled with the same perfume, but I wouldn't recommend reusing them with another scent.
