    Just spotted this thread and whilst I re-fill shampoo, shower gel etc, I can't find travel size mouthwash, or a suitable less than 100ml container. Anyone seen any? (Preferably Listerine!) or have any ideas for decanting?
    I got my 50ml listerine samples from the dentist and reuse them.

    Lakeland sell round 100ml containers which are watertight and airtight which I use for this very purpose (going throught security at airports). They weren't cheap, about £1.49 each but I think were 3 4 2 so about a £1 each and good value in the long run. Easy to clean and very robust.

    I took the mouthwash bottle home last time I stayed at a Marriott:o it's a nice little size, since it's only DH that uses mouthwash.:) I don't think it's stealing, as it's just the same as if I'd used the bottle while I was staying in the hotel.:p

    I do have a small bottle of Listerine in our travel bag that I got in Asda, iirc.

    I could be wrong but I *think* I saw mouthwash in Asda a few weeks ago. I was buying dinky items for my hospital bag and for when DH goes away on business. They had shower gel, shampoo, toothpaste, deodorant, J&J baby wash and baby lotion.

    Primark have sets of travel bottles for £1 which includes 3 bottles and 3 little pots and several stickers to label them all in a clear pouch, i will use these for hand luggage just squeezing some of my shampoo/conditioner/shower gel/moisturiser into them, much more moneysaving than buying special sized toiletries :j

    I bought empty travel sized bottles a couple of years ago and just fill them up everytime I go away. Much cheaper to do it that way

    I always keep the free samples from magazines + a lots of it get sent to me and just use them.
    So its not only free but very easy carry...

    Sorry ponymad for hijacking this thread! Never realised I'd get so many replies! Thanks caroc for the Lakeland info - no offence (sp?) but I'll take a look at Primark (thanks squeakysue) first - the price seems better! If they turn out to be too flimsy, then I'll take a look at Lakeland. Thanks all!
  • Thanks OP.

    Whilst I agree about refilling shampoo and conditioner, etc, I always buy a mini deodorant to take away as you obviously can't refill these - that way if my suitcase goes AWOL, I can still keep clean and fresh!

    Just to let you all know, I got some clear plastic travel bottles (3 bottles and 1 lockable pump action bottle!) from Poundland last weekend! Haven't tested them yet so can't say how durable they are!
