What to Pack: The Checked Bag Guide

Regardless of whether you travel often or rarely, the thumb rule for packing checked luggage is to only pack those things in it that you can live without. You may never you’re your luggage (well, we wish you never do!) but if you do, it may take days, even weeks for your luggage to reach you.

Pack carefully and remember that there can be delays, and occasionally you may lose things.

Toiletries

Anything over 3.4 oz. (or 100 mL) needs to go into your checked luggage. You have two options –
1.       Check your shower products, like body wash, shaving cream, shampoo, and conditioner and pack them according to size.
2.       Since we all have our fav brands and would love to have them close, you can now buy ready travel kits with your fav products from Travel Badger and keep them in your carry-on.

Extra Medication

If you would like to carry some medicines (just in case) medicine, it is best to pack it up. Unless you need it on the flight and it’s not an essential daily med, you don’t need to keep it in your carry-on.

Shoes

Wear a pair of comfortable shoes during your journey and keep any others in your checked bag. You don’t need that extra weight on your shoulder.

Clothes

While you may want an extra shirt or a change of clothes in your carry-on, it is best to stuff the rest of your clothes in the checked bag.

If you are looking for a high-quality men’s travel toiletry bag or a TSA approved toiletry bag that can fit all your travel toiletries, check out Travel Badger for the best deals!

What is a Toiletry Kit?

A toiletry kit is a small bag that can hold your toiletries and cosmetics when you travel. You would come across a variety of toiletry kits in stores and online as Dopp kits, travel kits, toiletry bags, body hygiene kits - just to name a few. Your toiletry kit is more than a bag to dump all your toiletries into. Here are three important things to consider while buying your travel toiletry kit. Size Do not forget to pay attention to the size of the toiletry kit. It should be small enough to not take up all the room in your bag, but not so small either that it fails to hold all your essential toiletries. Decide what toiletries you can’t live without, before you choose your kit. Style Toiletry kits come in different styles. For example, some kits will have one compartment but others have multiple pockets to organize your stuff. Check if the kit has handles. That will help you hang it up for convenience.

The Pro Guide to Traveling Light

Packing properly is an art, especially if you are going on a long trip or multiple destinations. You want to bring stuff you are comfortable with but you don’t want to be lugging too much stuff wherever you go. That means you may have to limit yourself to a smaller, lighter bag which may seem an impossible task. However, the following guide will help you travel light without sacrificing a great deal. Travel with One Bag To ensure you can travel with a single piece of luggage, you need the right one! Ginormous bags will always tempt you to fill them. Think of a backpack or a rucksack. While most people prefer wheeled luggage, dragging a wheeled case can get very tiring especially on a long trip. A backpack allows you to spread the weight across your body better and you’ll be much faster with your luggage at your back. Packing Light Pack only what you absolutely need.
