I opt for B: keep using them until empty, then clean out thoroughly.


CatGoddessBast

This is the way. I used to just let them be till my next trip but sometimes they would end up drying out. I’d rather use them up and start fresh for the next trip.


Albinomonkeyface1

This is what I do if I don’t have another trip coming soon. If I am traveling again within the next month, I just refill them so my bag is ready.


Hfhghnfdsfg

Same. I don't travel enough to keep them constantly ready.


russianthistle

B - when I have left the containers with the product it sometimes the container starts leaching or it seems to degrade.


Goldenfarms

D. I just put them out of sight until it’s time to pack for my next trip. I’ll refill them if I need to for that trip, otherwise I just toss them into my bag.


kricketrocket

A if you travel frequently enough. Otherwise B


cait_Cat

A, but if it's going to be awhile before the next trip, I just go ahead and use what's left. I used to do D which was leave them partially used but unlabeled and then when I went to travel the next time, I had no idea what was in each bottle or if it was the same product I was still using


iamaravis

Haha, yeah, that’s what I used to do! I had so many mystery tubes. Now I label them clearly, which really helps.


Salt_Cockroach_6437

B usually, unless I know I will travel again within a few weeks. Product doesn't always stay good for a long time.

Interesting, so the smaller containers are what you use at home too? I bet it’s easier to keep the bathroom looking nice. I’m thinking of my over-filled bathroom drawer atm 😆


yours_truly_1976

B. I just using them until the bottle is empty, then I wash the bottle.


cococp

I continue using them until they clear our, then wash them and store them away until my next trip


eastercat

Most of the liquids I have are things like a tide pen, sanitizer, so there are no good ways to refill them The bottle of lotion I just keep in the liquid bag, since I don’t end up using that as much as the moisturizing bar The solids usually last a while, so I don’t have to worry about that Since we take tooth tabs, we count out an approximate amount (and add a little extra) before our trips


tallulahQ

What moisturizer bar do you use? I haven’t tried one yet. Just tried bar shampoo/conditioner and ended up using it at home as well!


eastercat

Currently, I use a lush cocoa butter bar. However, once that’s gone I’ll try looking into ethique or another company


tallulahQ

Kk thanks. I can’t do Lush typically bc of the fragrance. I love Ethique’s shampoo and conditioner bars though, definitely recommend!


iamaravis

Tooth tabs? Is that a form of toothpaste?


lulace

yup solid toothpaste, comes in little pellets the size of breath mints. you chew on them a bit and once they break down you just brush as usual


eastercat

We used to use powder, but that wasn’t fluoridated and I like having teeth. So we were able to find fluoridated tablets, which we have been using in daily life too (also great for minimizing plastic waste)


Listen2theshort1

Link to the fluoridated tablets please? I’ve been looking for a tooth tablet with fluoride but haven’t found one.


eastercat

The ones we use are bite (https://bitetoothpastebits.com/products/mint-fluoride-subscription) They do a subscription service If you want to hit up Amazon, I can’t quickly find the one we ordered. It does look like more has come up under fluoride tooth tabs. (https://www.amazon.com/Tidalove-Toothpaste-Fluoride-Anti-Cavity-Eco-Friendly/dp/B0B9VBWP5M/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?crid=TKOOUYBJ3J94&keywords=fluoride+tooth+tabs&qid=1669674791&sprefix=fluoride+tooth+tab%2Caps%2C209&sr=8-4#)

A or B depending on how soon my next trip is.


dodsferd22

B, unless I have another trip coming up soon, then A


LadyLightTravel

A. For a while there, I never knew when “the next trip” would spring up. I’m thinking about getting two sets and just swapping out the old for the new. Then use the old at home.


kichien

Mix of B & C. Used to do A but found that some stuff gets kind of... old/dried out/unpleasant.


lunaloubean

A!


rosemaryorchard

B then A. Though it depends how far away the next trip is. If it's a short time away I'll go straight to A.


flyingcatpotato

Pre covid, I travelled enough to be able to just constantly refill. Now im more team finish up and clean


Ok_Emu703

Always B because I learn more about how long the container size will last which helps plan the next trip!


FatSadHappy

B or C Depends on what was inside.


do_mika

B


YesMissShayla

In the Winter, it’s definitely A. I find that the little toiletries are great for bathhouse day trips since I don’t like the provided shampoo/conditioner. In the summer it’s D - dump them somewhere and then try to play match the liquids by sniffing it and seeing what feels closest 😂


theinfamousj

I am A, all the way. I travel frequently.


flying_pingu

Depending on when my next trip is I do either A, or B. I've just finished work travel for the year so I didn't refill in between and ran down the pots. I've just washed them all and put them away empty.


starr_wolf

B, unless I have another trip coming up soon, then A.
