if you want to see how I reduced my toiletries by 80% keep watching welcome I'm Michelle and I make
0:07
content on life's cheat codes and easy buttons this video spills the tea on all the ultr light packing hacks that no
0:13
one's talking about most packing videos Overlook the pounds of weight and inches of space you can save by downsizing
0:20
toiletries I Incorporated your suggestions from the comments on my last toiletry video into this one Epic list
0:25
that answers once and for all what are the lightest and smallest toiletries if you still think you can do better let me
0:32
know in the comments and don't worry about writing all the hacks down I've made a free download on my website for a
0:39
2E trip I used to pack 5.8 lb which is 2.6 kilos of toiletries that's
0:44
ridiculous I couldn't fly carryon only and meet the 311 rule for carry on luggage which limits individual
0:50
containers to 3.4 o or 100 ml of liquids aerosols gels creams or pastes in a
0:56
quart sized bag which toiletries you use as a person Al choice we are going to
1:01
assume you pack these most popular ones follow these steps and you will pack lighter than you ever have before there
1:08
are chapters to let you skip to the toiletry categories you're interested in we'll start with a universal toiletry
1:14
toothpaste this is my everyday toothpaste don't be this guy at 5.1 Oz it's too big to take
1:23
through security I have a few options option one I can buy a smaller tube of
1:29
toothpaste under the 3.4 Oz limit like this 3 oz tube if you are a digital Nomad doing slow travel I recommend
1:35
planning for this size and weight in your liquids bag this is a readily available size around the world each
1:41
tube will last you around 2 months option two I can buy a travel size toothpaste this one is 24 G this option
1:49
will appeal to you if you are going on up to a 2E trip and can spare the space in your liquids bag it's easy to find at
1:56
grocery stores the pharmacy even at the airport option three I can buy a
2:01
slightly smaller one at 23 g you pay a premium for travel size products my 5.1
2:07
o tube is 98 Cent per ounce while the larger travel size costs double that at $210 per ounce the even smaller travel
2:15
size is triple the per ounce price at $311 Option four I can decan enough
2:20
toothpaste for my trip into a travel siiz container that lets me use the cheaper toothpaste I already own the
2:27
American Dental Association says we should use a zero .25 g p sized amount of toothpaste each time we brush for my
2:34
upcoming trip that calculates to 0.25 G time twice a day * 12 days equal 6 G I
2:40
like most people use much more than the recommended amount to determine how much
2:45
I actually use I weigh my everyday tube of toothpaste then brush my teeth as usual and weigh the toothpaste again the
2:52
difference in weight is how much toothpaste I use when I brush my teeth 0.94 G * twice a day * 12 days = 22.5 56
3:00
G I use an online G to O converter it says that
3:14
[Music]
3:28
22.56% container so that regardless of whether the product is thin and watery or a thick paste there should be enough
3:35
space in the container to hold the weight of product that I want to take I paid $1.70 USD for this straight sided
3:42
jar with a screw cap a link to all the products will be in the description option five I can take a
3:49
solid toothpaste and sidestep the 311 rule for liquids this is the mint charcoal toothpaste from bite for $8 I
3:55
picked up these pill pouches at TJ Maxx the set was $4.9 9 Cent for 100 pouches
4:01
which is 5 cents per pouch you'll like this option if you want to travel ultr light for up to a month and don't want
4:07
the hassle of weighing out how much product to take just count out two tabs per day plus a few extra for just in
4:13
case finally option six is decanting a toothpowder into a jar to use this loose
4:18
powder you wet your toothbrush and shake off the excess water you dip the toothbrush head into the powder and it
4:24
sticks to the wet bristles as long as you shake off the excess water before dipping it's hygienic to dip dip into
4:30
the powder day after day because any powder touched by your toothbrush adheres leaving only dry untouched
4:36
powder in the container this option will appeal to Travelers on the Camino or under a strict 7 kg weight limit in
4:42
sixth place is the 3 oz tube at 101.2 G it is the heaviest and most expensive
4:48
option in fifth place is decanting regular toothpaste at 28 G you buy the container once and use it forever in
4:56
fourth place is the larger travel siiz toothpaste at 27.5 G well not the lightest this is the
5:01
cheapest option in third place is the smaller travel siiz toothpaste at 27.0 g
5:07
in second place is the solid toothpaste at 11.65 G the top spot goes to the decanted Loose Powder toothpaste let's
5:15
see how we did we reduced our toothpaste from 101.2 G to 8.5 g a reduction of
5:22
92% that's a great result next is mouthwash 20 ml is the
5:28
average amount of mouthwash used each time you gargle this 36ml mouthwash is
5:33
just under the 40ml level you need to gargle twice this is the lerine mouthwash concentrate it is five times
5:40
stronger than regular mouthwash you add bottled water to this concentrate when you get to your destination to knock the
5:46
strength down you'll have to either pack an empty bottle or use a bottled water container purchased at your destination
5:52
to store the diluted mouthwash a 16.9 o 500ml bottle is the perfect size I take
5:58
a 250 50 ml bottle with me because I use the cap as a cup because the mouthwash
6:03
concentrate comes in a size to make 500 mL of mouthwash I divide the 100 ml of
6:09
concentrate into 2 50ml pouches I'll mix each 50 mL of concentrate with 20000 mL
6:16
of water in my 250ml bottle to make regular strength mouthwash this solid mouthwash from bite
6:23
dissolves in your mouth by chewing it with just a sip of water you use one tablet each time you gargle be careful
6:29
not to swallow the mouthwash after you chew it I store it in a plastic pill pouch rather than the glass jar it comes
6:34
in to save weight this scope squeeze is another mouthwash concentrate it's packaged so
6:40
that you can make a cap full of mouthwash at a time each container makes 48 servings of
6:46
mouthwash this brings us to our first three ultral light toiletry packing Commandments number one don't pack water
6:53
if you look at the list of ingredients on a product water is often listed first meaning it is the largest component
7:00
look for water-free options concentrates or let water evaporate from products if possible leaving just the active
7:07
ingredients to save weight and volume number two calculate how much you need
7:12
taking just the amount of product you need minimizes toiletries you can estimate the amount
7:18
of product you use daily and multiply it by the number of times you expect to use it while traveling number three use the
7:25
smallest and lightest container possible matching the container to the volume of product needed means less space is used
7:31
for each item the container material is another factor that affects the weight
7:36
plastic containers are lighter than glass your mileage may vary some products react negatively to plastic or
7:43
a light sensitive and may require a heavier amber glass container in fourth place is the travel size mouthwash at 36
7:50
ml I would have to take seven of these little bottles 45 G per bottle * 7
7:56
bottles equal 315 G in third place is the lisine concentrate at
8:05
166.173
8:14
15 g to 10.96 g a reduction of
8:19
97% oh my god wow my teeth feel cleanest with my
8:25
electric toothbrush but it is heavy at 284.8 7 G although not the lightest the quip
8:31
toothbrush is an honorable mention it's a lighter electric toothbrush with a lighter charger option two I could bring a
8:39
manual toothbrush and cover at 15.08 G option three I could bring a smaller
8:45
travel toothbrush at 1270 G its handle converts into a
8:50
[Music] cover option four is a mini Thum print toothbrush at 6.39 G option four saves
8:58
me 98% of the weight yeah a great result next is floss option
9:04
one tear off 24 pieces of floss and store them in this lightweight reusable pill pouch at 1.39 G option two is this
9:11
vegan biodegradable floss at 13.45 G option three is a 40 m package of Glide
9:17
floss option four is a travel size 4 M package of Glide floss this is a weight
9:22
reduction of 90% right on target the next category is soap option number one
9:28
is a regular bar of soap I find that switching from a liquid version to a solid version of a toiletry typically
9:34
saves the most weight this is a 106 G bar of Dove soap option number two is
9:40
shower gel this is a 60ml bottle that I brought home from a hotel even among
9:45
solid toiletries some are better than others at saving space option number three is a 50 g bar of French milled
9:52
soap also called triple mil soap it is more dense than a regular commercial bar of soap like Dove or a hand poured soap
9:59
the soap soap is compressed under rollers as it is formed removing air pockets and excess moisture you can take
10:04
a smaller bar of French miled soap and it will last longer without getting mushy or dissolving as quickly as
10:09
standard soap like my Dove bar I'm showing the Matador flat pack soap case with it the case is lightweight leak
10:16
proof and it lets your soap bar dry through the material that the case is made out of a material that is three
10:21
times lighter than plastic option number four is powdered soap this is pH neutral
10:27
and often used by through hikers on the trail it has fewer fillers than what you find in bars I like to store my soap in
10:33
the shower so I will decant just enough for my 12-day vacation into a waterproof container that can easily dispense the
10:40
powder instead of taking the entire 3 oz paper pouch option number five is to take nothing and use the soap provided
10:46
by your hotel or whatever accommodation that you were staying at obviously option five would be the lightest
10:52
because it is 0 g for the sake of this video I won't pick this option as the
10:58
winner we just ranked the other four but I wanted to mention it as a viable option in fourth place is the dove
11:04
Beauty Bar at 11 15.29 G in third place is the shower gel at 67.5 1 g in second
11:11
place is the French miled soap at 53.6 G in first place is the powdered soap at 43.1 7 G this next category is a bit
11:20
controversial what it's washcloths also known as face cloths and exfoliating
11:25
cloths they aren't used everywhere in the world but I grew up using them and like it for the exfoliation also gaining
11:33
popularity out of Asia in the same category are exfoliating body cloths silicone scrubbers and foaming Nets they
11:40
let you create handfuls of Rich creamy lather with just a squeeze in third place is the traditional fabric
11:45
washcloth at 38.4 6 G it is the heaviest option and takes the longest to dry
11:51
between uses and before packing in second place at 9.63 G is a silicone skin scrubber it has a suction cup to
11:59
let let you stick it to the shower wall in first place is a compressed cellulose facial sponge it is extracted from wood
12:05
pulp and said to be environmentally friendly at 2.1 g this sponge is the lightest it also takes up the least
12:12
amount of space it comes tightly compressed and expands once it comes in contact with water it lasts about 1 week
12:19
with daily use I would have to take two of these for my 12-day trip this swap gives us an 89% reduction in weight over
12:26
the washcloth we are still crushing the goal to reduce toiletry weight by 80% the next category is shampoo option
12:34
number one is to bring a travel-size bottle of your favorite shampoo and conditioner combo like this 3 o size
12:40
option two is to bring a smaller travel siiz bottle of just shampoo option three is a solid shampoo bar with a matador
12:46
flat pack soap case option four is to rely on the shampoo at your destination but bring a single sample of a shampoo
12:53
that you know works well with your hair just in case the shampoo provided at your accommodation doesn't play nice with your hair texture or none is
13:00
provided by having 1 day's worth of shampoo it gives you time to buy one at the shops the next day if that happens
13:06
it can be fun to find and try something new Option five is the powder shampoo not to be confused with dry shampoo
13:13
which is an oil absorbing powder powder shampoo is a dehydrated shampoo that Foams into a regular shampoo with a few
13:19
drops of water in fifth place is the 3 oz shampoo and conditioner combo at 78.8 g in
13:26
fourth place is the 1.7 o travel size shampoo at 65.2 2 G in third place is
13:32
the 50 g solid shampoo at 53.67 g in second place is the 0.3 4 oz
13:40
shampoo sample at 5.2 9 G in first place is the powder shampoo at 4.9 G now for
13:46
the final two rules of ultralight toiletry packing rule number four multi-use products are preferred the
13:52
fewer separate containers required the better if there is a product that can do double Duty adding more product to the
13:59
same container saves you the weight of a second container consider face oils that can also serve as hair oils and
14:05
sunscreens that also moisturize and eliminate the need for separate lotion rule number five if your
14:12
accommodation provides it don't bring it unless you have an allergy religious
14:17
ethical or other concern to a toiletry provided by the place you are staying use theirs and leave your product at
14:23
home you can't beat zero weight and zero cost the next category is conditioner option number number one is to bring a
14:30
reusable travel size bottle of your favorite conditioner combo like this 3.4 o silicone go tube you deant your
14:37
conditioner into the Container option two is a solid conditioner bar in a matador flat pack soap case option three
14:44
is to decant just enough of your conditioner to use every other time you wash your hair just in case the
14:49
conditioner provided at your accommodation doesn't play nice with your hair this way you're only lugging
14:54
half as much conditioner for this just in case scenario if you go this route I recommend using the reduced amount of
15:01
conditioner you brought from home every other shampoo to use it up we'll further reduce the weight by setting the
15:07
conditioner out in the sun for a day to let some of the water evaporate when your conditioner is a thicker paste it
15:14
may take a few more seconds to work it in but it also makes precise placement of the conditioner on the ends of your
15:19
hair easier option four is to rely on the conditioner at your destination but
15:24
bring a single sample of a conditioner that you know works well with your hair just to in case the conditioner provided
15:30
at your accommodation doesn't work well with your hair texture I picked up the self-heating deep conditioner sample at
15:35
Sally's Beauty Supply in fourth place is the go tube of conditioner at
15:41
265.0 g in third place is the solid conditioner at 53.6 G in second place is
15:47
the deep conditioner sample at 4.23 g in first place is the decanted and left to
15:53
evaporate for a day conditioner at 15.87 G that is a 94% reduction in weight I'm
16:00
saving more weight than I knew was possible the next group of toiletries are styling products like Pomade gel or
16:06
hairspray hair products are highly personal My Curls respond best to gel
16:11
option one taking just enough gel for 12 days in a 2 oz container weighs 94.46 G
16:17
I can stretch an extra day or two between styling by refreshing my curls with a leave-in conditioner option two I
16:24
can create a DIY leave-in by taking an empty 1 oz spray bottle then filling it with water and a drop of conditioner
16:31
when I get to my destination you can either use the conditioner provided by your accommodation or use a drop of
16:37
conditioner from the sample size packet that you packed any spots of frizz I Target with gel from a downsized 1 oz
16:43
container this option is a combined 4957 G this is a 47% reduction in weight
16:50
we've Fallen a little behind here let's see if we can make this up elsewhere brushes and combs are the next group
16:56
option one is a travel size Wet Brush at 88 15 G option two a travel size tangle
17:02
teaser at 44.4 n g option three a basic comb at 5.8 G option four is to take
17:09
nothing I can finger detangle my Afro and not take a comb or brush at all eliminating 100% of the weight since
17:16
most people can't do this we'll take the comb which reduces your weight by 89% the next category is deodorant
17:24
regardless of weight the most important thing is to take a deodorant that actually works for you you the first
17:30
option is the Lumi whole body cream deodorant in the 3 oz size the second option is a 1.4 o travel size solid
17:36
deodorant the third option is a 1.7 o size roll on liquid deodorant the fourth
17:42
option is a smaller 0.5 o solid deodorant the fifth option is the 0.5 o
17:48
travel size of the Lumi Whole Body Solid Stick deodorant the sixth option is the 0.5 o travel size of the Lumi whole body
17:55
cream deodorant the seventh option is just enough Lumi cream deodorant deand it into a container to last me for 12
18:01
days again the way I determine how much of a product I need per use is to weigh
18:07
the container use the product as normal then weigh the container again the difference in weight is how much of the
18:13
product I use per application I usually add a bit more than what I calculate to be on the safe side to determine what
18:20
container can fit that much product I convert the number of grams I plan to use to ounces and then find a container
18:26
that is slightly larger in seventh place is the 3 oz bottle of Lumi deodorant at 99.5 2 G in sixth place is the 1.4 o
18:35
solid deodorant at 70.6 8 G in fifth place is the roll on deodorant at 69.7 n
18:41
g in fourth place is the 0.5 o solid deodorant at 27.6 g in third place is
18:48
the 0.5 o Lumi solid stick Mini at 25.8 g in second place is the 0.5 o Lumi
18:54
cream deodorant Mini at 18.5 G in first place is the decanted Lumi cream deodorant in a 0.3 3 oz 8.8 ml container
19:03
weighing in at 10.17 G that is a 90% reduction in weight we
19:09
are still on track can we keep this going I feel like our luck is going to run out sooner or later I was sure that
19:16
I could save some weight feels like a pipe dream the next category is lotion in
19:23
fourth place is decanting one of my existing lotions into a container to cover 12 days days I would have to take
19:30
84 G of this particular lotion that plus the weight of the container is 13.42%
19:58
I recommend you bring whatever your doctor prescribed you for flareups and I don't recommend decanting it in first
20:04
place is a 0.35 o solid lotion bar made with beeswax sunflower oil shea butter
20:10
and vitamin E A little goes a long way with solid lotion bars this swap gives
20:15
us a 76% reduction in weight over what I was taking we fell a little short of reducing the weight by 80% on this one
20:23
but we are still in the game the next category is the first cleanser in my double CLE routine to
20:29
remove my makeup even on the days that I don't wear makeup I still wear sunscreen
20:34
so I typically double cleanse every day in fifth place is a pack of facial wipes
20:39
at 11 19.8 3 G this is the heaviest option and some people with sensitive
20:45
skin report irritation from the cloth wiping against their face in fourth place is a travel siiz cream makeup
20:51
remover at 57.3 3 G you spread this cream on your face and use the tissue or
20:57
toilet paper at your hotel or Airbnb to wipe it off the next three options were all within 1 G of each other so they all
21:04
are worthy of the top spot which one you go with is a matter of preference in third place is myell water I use cotton
21:11
rounds with this the weight of the myell water decanted into a 10ml bottle on Cotton rounds is 15.4.1 G I find that I
21:20
can use half a cotton round to remove just sunscreen or waterproof eye makeup so you can cut them in half to get them
21:25
to stretch further or even better use the palm of your hand hands to apply and your fingertips to massage it in and
21:31
break down your makeup in second place is cleansing bomb the weight of the bomb de caned into a 7.5 ml 0.25 Oz jar is
21:39
15.3 9 G in first place are the Olay daily facial hydrating cleansing cloth
21:44
at 1471 G for six cloths I cut the cloths in half I find that a half cloth
21:50
is enough to do my first cleanse these dry cloths are infused with soap panthenol salicylic acid grape seed oil
21:57
aloe and chamomile the packaging claims that it has the 5-in-1 cleansing power of a makeup remover scrub toner mask and
22:06
cleanser in one step so you could wash your face with just this and go straight to your serums or moisturizers
22:12
surprisingly the weight of these dry cloth adds up quickly perhaps it's because of the thickness of the fabric
22:18
but unlike the other options you won't have an empty bottle or half used pack of wipes to fly home with for the second
22:24
cleanse of My Double cleanse routine option one is a 25 G bar of facial soap this doesn't count against your liquid
22:31
limits option two is 1 flu oun of liquid face wash at 2840 G option three is the
22:37
decanted powder face wash at 13.12 G this also doesn't count against your liquids limit and this powdery
22:43
formulation has fewer binders and additives than a bar soap new on the market are Olay face melts I haven't had
22:50
the chance to try them but they are dry individually packaged tabs of face wash that foam up with a few drops of water
22:57
option three reduces the weight of my face wash by 53% this next category is a hydrating
23:03
spray for me this is an everyday toiletry I like a few Mists of this
23:09
facial spray with aloe sage and Orange Blossom on the plane I also use a few Mists at night as part of my
23:15
moisturizing routine this 8 oz bottle is too big to take on the plane so I decant
23:20
it into a smaller bottle I have several spray bottle sizes to choose from let's see how much weight I save by choosing
23:26
the spray bottle that is just big enough for my needs I save 15 G by decanting into the 0.17 Oz 5ml mini spray instead
23:35
of the 0.5 o spray bottle this reduces The Weight by 54% reducing weight by
23:40
over 50% is a great result but I'm worried about making my overall goal the next category is moisturizer I have six
23:48
options option number one is a 2.32 o solid moisturizer you may not even have
23:54
to place this one in your liquids bag when you go through security only in the strictest of airports like Heathrow
24:00
would they possibly deem this to be a spreadable consistency if something is spreadable like peanut butter airport
24:06
security considers it a liquid too option number two is a 1 o travel size moisturizer this one is the dramatically
24:13
different moisturizing lotion from Clinique it's a slightly thicker cream option number three is a 1.5 o container
24:20
of a thinner consistency moisturizer that I already own I like this Moisturizer in the warmer months because
24:26
it's light and has a cool watery feeling when you apply it the fourth option is to decant the solid moisturizer into a
24:33
0.05 o hinge top container the fifth option is to decant the Clinique moisturizer into a smaller 0.17 ooun
24:40
container option number six is to decant the thinner liquid face moisturizer into a 0.35 o pump in sixth place is the
24:48
fulls size solid moisturizer at 90 G in fifth place is the 1.5 o tube of moisturizer at 50 g in fourth place is
24:55
the 1 oz travel size Clinique moisturizer at 30 G in third place is the thinner moisturizer decanted into the 0.35 o
25:03
pump at 2.96 g in second place at 7.0 1 G is the Clinique moisturizer decanted
25:09
into a 0.17 o jar in first place is the solid moisturizer decanted into a 0.05
25:16
oz hinge top container at 4.09 G going with the decanted solid moisturizer
25:21
gives us a 95% reduction in weight over the full size solid moisturizer we still have a chance of meeting our 80% weight
25:28
weight reduction goal acne control is my next category in
25:33
case of a breakout I can bring this 1 oz tube of benzo peroxide or option two a few of these pimple patches the patches
25:40
reduce the weight by 86% my next category is shaving option
25:46
one is a travel siiz Venus razor with carrying case at 36.778259
25:59
in most packing videos people opt for the travel size Venus razor but taking a disposable razor reduces your weight by
26:05
77% unfortunately we missed our 80% Target again this is a worrisome Trend
26:11
shaving cream I wax my legs right before a trip I only shave if I find missed hairs I
26:18
can option one bring a 2 O travel size can of shaving cream this is the
26:23
cheapest option option two is to sidestep the 311 rule by bringing a solid Arco shaving soap stick and brush
26:30
I tried this product because my husband was using it and I tried a bit if you are a long-term traveler this might
26:37
appeal to you the most option three decant an ounce of an unpressurized shave cream like the Trader Joe's honey
26:43
mango shave cream option four decant 3 ml of shave oil like Shave Secret Deluxe
