      I try to use up the small shampoo, conditioner, etc when u return from my trip, as some items have a expiration dates. Look on the back of toiletries and make up, you'll find a bottle with a number which indicates when you should use up the product by. When the travel items are empty I put them back in my trip items, then I can refill them prior to traveling.

      I do a hybrid thing…. I leave many things in the bag refilled….but Because I tend to try to use the toothpaste or contact solution to the end before they go bad, or I do wash and dry the travel sized containers sometimes, I put an index card in my toiletry bag and I jot down on it what I removed from the set that needs to be replaced. That way it’s easy to have a quick checklist of what is needed to complete the set in the bag when I start packing for my next trip.

    I find a large two gallon ziplock bag and cut up laundry soap sheets take up next to no room in my bag and are useful for washing clothes, especially in Europe, where the sinks can be really tiny. I also got rid of my folding water bottle and replaced it with a smaller water bottle that I can use for water/coffee/tea. It has a handle that I can clip into the water bottle sleeve on my backpack, which keeps it super secure. And Trader Joe’s sells silicone food baggies - three assorted sized for about $10. The zip closure is a lot smoother than others I’ve found. I put all of my travel essentials I’ll need for the flight in it - headphones, chapstick, lotion, earplugs, charging cables, hand sanitizer, wipes, etc. I keep it next to my hip during my flight, readily accessible, although you can put it into the seat back pocket. No more leaning over, digging through my backpack trying to find something. It’s the first thing I pull out (along with my iPad) Best change to my flying routine I’ve made.

    I take a few metal coat hangers (from the dry cleaners) when I travel. Great if not enough hangers in the room. Also use to hang wet clothes in the bathroom if I’ve washed some things. Also bring a few clothes pegs to hang small items on the coat hanger. Being flexible can turn the hook to fit anywhere. Then just leave behind when coming home.

      Love mine. But I use packing cubes and organise each side so that the things I’m going to unpack and leave unpacked are in one side and the other has the things I’ll access almost daily. If I’m staying a long time in a hotel or air B&B I can unpack almost fully. The hard case gives me extra reassurance that anything delicate inside is protected and it’s less likely to get the contents wet if exposed to weather.
      I’ve had both over the years but have settled on the hard case with packing cubes.

    I bought the Scrubba bag for a cruise (with kids) in 2022. I bought it direct from Scrubba, which is an Australian company, and I live in the US, so I paid more than Amazon sold it for and had to wait a good while for it to arrive. (I did not want to buy from Amazon because people said they'd received fakes, and it was not a cheap item.)
    We ended up getting a free bag of laundry halfway through the cruise, so everything got laundered anyway, and if it were truly that critical that something be washed, I would have figured out a way to wash it or pay for it to be laundered for a few bucks. I always pack Shout wipes, so any stains can at least be treated, if nothing else, before laundering at home. Therefore, we never used our Scrubba bag.
    We don't camp, so I'm tempted to sell it for half the cost of a new one, and that way I recover some funds while someone else gets a brand new one at a good discount.

      We hauled a Scrubba to Antarctica and it was so much harder to use than just using a sink, no matter how small

    I use the Vapur water bottle exclusively. It stands up just fine, folds up super tiny, weighs very little. Absolutely the best product for all my travels to Europe.

      Maybe mine didn't get manufactured properly?? It's so sharp on the edges it has but my hands a couple of times and mine never wants to stand up unless its totally full of water. 🤷🏻‍♀

    Has anyone tried to use the brush silicone thingy for a full size electrical toothbrush? I was thinking about buying for my philips sonicare toothbrush that i bring on longer trips.

    • @GenxGypsy1968
      @GenxGypsy1968  9 месяцев назад +1

      I don't think it's quite long enough for the full size electric toothbrush unless you take the head off and put the parts in separately, then it might work really well!

    I have used the small scrubber for myself and get my husband to so his own holiday washing and he has the large one. Had both for years.
    Also i have the cabeau neck pillow the connects to the back of the plane seat via velcro but i have taken the insert out as it feels like a neck brace. I fill the empty cabeau pillow with my long down jacket and a silk travel wrap and travel towel saving more than 430gms in my caryon and its so soft to sleep with

    I really enjoyed your video I was in the midst of packing for a two-month trip and was doing the keep or get rid of haul. I also have a scrubber bag and while I don't use it all the time I take it everywhere. I spent 3 months in Mexico and our house only had a shower so it definitely came in handy While I didn't have as much to go through as you, but I did get rid of a lot of stuff. Thanks!

    I use my scrubba wash bag on every trip. I do a cycling holiday every second year and we camp along the journey. It also doubles as a dry bag so 2 in one. I used it to float down the Rhine last year. Perfect for minimalist travel when you don’t always have access to a sink or bathtub.😊

    I had severe neck pain before a trip and had to use a soft neck brace when going on a long trip. Turned out it was the best neck pillow and I slept so well as it kept my head in place so now it goes everywhere with me.

    I use a waterproof drybag to do laundry when traveling. I don't like the idea of trying to do laundry in the sink I've been brushing my teeth in... that dry bag you have for hiking and adventures would work, and mine was way cheaper than that scrubba bag. As a bonus, it folds up and fits in the space between the trolly hardware in my carry-on.

I have gone through mine a couple of times in the past couple of years and eliminated the things I don't use...I am a big user of small things! LOL. I am also a lover of Tripped Travel and have been for years! I keep looking at that new "makeup" bag wondering if I need it or not. Pretty sure I don't, but I kind of want it!! Thanks for your videos - I really enjoy them!

    And .. can you do this same with your clothes you packed for Puerto Rico? Did all get worn?

    I love my Scrubba! I used it on a trip to the Uk and Scotland for more than three weeks, and then the UK and Croatia for three weeks. Sinks are often tiny, or don't have drain plugs, or things are sometimes not that clean in old funky hotels and B&Bs. Having a quick and easy way to do laundry frees you from wandering around trying to find a place to do laundry - which was so problematic for two weeks in Iceland we gave up looking, and didn't find one until the end of our trip - and who wants to spend time in a laundromat while on vacation? Or having to rent aa specific Air BnB just because it has a washer and hopefully a dryer? I use liquid SOAK, which needs no rinsing, thus saving on water and time. We also wear merino wool socks and t-shirts, or items that wash and dry quickly, so we can pack a 30 litre backpack or carry on suitcase for three + weeks and not worry about not having enough clothes.
