Surprised at the weight of the toiletries in cases

Buy it in boots after security and put it in your hand luggage.

Problem removed.

It’s even more of a challenge on hand baggage only.
My wife buys her holiday toiletries very selectively. I have a bar of shield cut to a third, a disposable razor a toothbrush (folding) and a small toothpaste.
We do also use hotel toiletries when provided.
We don’t take any towels either.

Simply buy it there 🤷

But if you're struggling for weight it's easier, then just throw it away out there

I used to be like this. Took far too much. I probably still do but I have really cut back.
Like others say, take stuff that is half used, throw in some travel sizes as well. The travel sized tressemme shampoo and conditioner lasts me 2 weeks washing my hair every day. I take very little make up and we share a toothbrush. We don’t take our electric ones.
I have learned after a lot of years that I’m really not going to use the body lotion, foot lotion, hair masks, bubble bath, etc etc that I used to think I would 😂😂

We usually buy what we need over there in mini bottles but in May we found them more expensive than here so this time we will use whatever the hotel provides and a few part used bottles/creams that we then leave . The only exception will be mini corsodyl mouthwash as you can't buy it over there and wished I had some last time

You're going to the home of Bath & Body Works and packing shower and bath products?

That’s a good shout about the shower gel. Do you recommend any soap that doesn’t leave your skin feeling dry?
