Type A Carry-On Travel: Fav Products and Methods

14 items

Alex Forbes

Look, I love a nicely packed bag. I make lists, optimize my methods, and find the right products to make it all work 🤗

The perfect personal item. I love a backpack that opens up clamshell style, and I’ve had this exact one for almost 5 years and it’s still going strong. I usually just bring as my personal item along with my rolling bag, but I’ve also used it as my on...

The Travel Backpack in Beige

I prefer packing with basic packing cubes vs. compression because I like to use the konmari method (linked below!). I find this fits the most stuff AND you can see everything clearly when picking out outfits.

4pc Packing Cube Set - Open Story

This is exactly how I like to fold my clothes for traveling, compressing in as you add more items. I use the three sizes from the packing cube set for different sizes of clothing–pants, skirts, dresses, etc. in the large, t-shirts and blouses in the ...

Example of Packing KonMari Style in Packing Cubes!

A travel pillow is truly down to your preference, but after a lot of research and trying a few duds, I really enjoy this one. I like that you can adjust it multiple ways depending on what is most comfortable, and the hood acts as a way to block out l...

Sunany Inflatable Travel Neck Pillow Grey

I like a basic three compartment hanging toiletry case. I got mine from TJ Maxx. At the top, I keep cotton pads, tweezers, a nail file, nail clippers, and q-tips. In the center, all my makeup brushes. In the bottom, my makeup.

Muji Nylon Mesh Hanging Toiletry Case

I like using a clear clamshell case for carrying my TSA approved liquids–this is the equivalent to a quart sized bag and I’ve never had any problems at the airport. It’s much easier to stack as much as you can in a case than a bag anyway!

Aveniee Clear Makeup Bag Organizer Travel

I like organizing my first aid and just-in-case supplies into smaller pouches that fit into a larger pouch. Bandaids, Neosporin, Q-Tips, pain relief patches, Tiger Balm, Tide Stick, antibacterial wipes, etc. My supplement and medication case also goe...

5pc Clear Toiletry Set - Open Story

You can fit all the toiletries you want for carry on travel with this set! I use the large pouches for shampoo, conditioner, and body lotion. For the smaller pouches, I’ve added face wash and Aquaphor. I add some of my foundation to the small pot con...

17 Pack Travel Pouches for Toiletries,TSA Approved

I love these for my rosewater and glycerin, hypochlorous acid, hyaluronic acid serum, and even a sunscreen setting spray. You can even use with perfume and body spray! They are so teensy and are the perfect amount for a 7 day trip.

Houseables Travel Spray Bottles 10ML Glass 12 Pack

I loooove this carrying case for my electric toothbrush. It keeps everything sanitary and safe both in my suitcase and on the bathroom counter whenever I’m traveling. Look for your specific toothbrush brand and you’ll likely find a case for it!

Hermitshell Pink Travel Case for Braun Oral-B

I think this is a great little case for a few daily supplements and medications for a week long trip. The magnets are an ideal closure and you can label the sections.

FYY Daily Pill Organizer, 7 Compartments

I actually don’t have pierced ears, so this is the perfect jewelry case for me. Small, but enough organization to carry 6 rings, a few necklaces, and random bracelets or broaches. It’s just now starting to show its age in the 7 years I’ve owned it, b...

LOKHO Small Travel Jewelry Box Organizer

I originally chose this because it detaches into two pieces and has dual voltage for traveling internationally, but I use it at home as well! The only thing to be careful of is getting your hair caught where the two pieces join–but if that’s a big co...

Wavytalk 1.5" Thermal Brush w/ Detachable Head & Velvet Pouch

I use a regular size Tangle Teezer at home, so obviously the mini is the way to go when traveling!! Perfect size, perfect brush. I love her.
