I Finally Stopped My Toiletry Leaks for Good with This $7 Find
"As a travel writer who is on the road (or on a plane!) about once a month, I've gotten most of my packing routine down to a science, but there's one thing that's plagued me for years: leaky toiletries. No matter how hard I try, my sunscreen oozes out of the container, nail polish leaks, or a tube of travel-sized toothpaste bursts. The worst messes occur when shampoo or conditioner seep out of their supposedly leakproof travel bottles."
"While scrolling through Amazon in search of new travel containers for my vitamins, I noticed a travel item I had never seen before. These silicone bottle covers promised to stop leaks and prevent messes in my suitcase. I was skeptical, but desperate to find a solution to my constant toiletry leaks. Plus, the price point is a steal - you can get a 10-pack of silicone toppers for less than $7, and a 12-pack for $10. I went with the $10 pack myself."
"The silicone toppers are what they sound like - they're a stretchable topper that you literally stretch over the tops of your toiletries in order to prevent inevitable face wash, toothpaste, moisturizer, or body wash leaks from getting all over your toiletry bag or other toiletry items. You can fit them over anything, except on pump tops. The manufacturer says they fit on most toiletries from 1.18 to 2.2 inches in diameter, so they're perfect for travel-sized toiletries."
Frequent travelers often encounter leaky toiletries—sunscreen, nail polish, toothpaste, shampoo, and conditioner commonly spill inside luggage. Tightening caps and trying multiple brands of travel bottles frequently fail to stop leaks. Silicone bottle covers serve as stretchable toppers that fit over bottle tops to prevent face wash, toothpaste, moisturizer, or body wash from seeping into toiletry bags. Packs cost about $7–$10 for 10–12 pieces. The toppers fit diameters from 1.18 to 2.2 inches and are not compatible with pump tops. Silicone toppers provide an inexpensive, simple solution for protecting luggage and toiletries during travel.
