Where should I pack deodorant?

Navigating Deodorant Regulations: Carry-on and Checked Luggage Guidelines

Packing for a trip often involves navigating a maze of regulations, especially when it comes to toiletries. Proper packaging of deodorant is crucial to ensure a smooth and compliant travel experience.

Carry-on Luggage

When it comes to carry-on luggage, travelers have the green light to pack solid and stick deodorants. These types of deodorants meet the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) requirements for carry-on liquids.

Checked Baggage

However, for spray, gel, and liquid deodorants, the rules differ. Due to their liquid nature, these deodorants exceed the TSA’s 3.4-ounce (100 milliliters) limit for liquids in carry-on luggage. Therefore, they must be packed in checked baggage.

Additional Guidelines

In addition to the size and type of deodorant, travelers should also remember the following guidelines:

• Place liquid deodorants in clear, quart-size bags along with other liquids, such as shampoo and conditioner.
• Separate aerosols from other liquids and place them in their own clear bag.
• Ensure that all liquids are stored upright to prevent spills.

By following these regulations, travelers can avoid delays or confiscations at security checkpoints. It’s always advisable to refer to the TSA website or your specific airline’s baggage restrictions for the most up-to-date information.
