Just learnt this after an hour of research...

Travel (empty bottles) for shampoo etc vary in price but you're looking at about £5 and upwards for a set of three....plus bag...not 100% guaranteed leakproof...

however...

the cheap alternative is plastic medicine bottles from the chemist.....

I just got one (200ml - enough for shampoo) for 20p from the chemist and then another from a different chemist for 40p...

and these have child proof caps....

So practically guaranteed leak proof :)

    If it's taken hand luggage yes. But if you are checking in a suitcase they'd be fine. Better than taking a huge bottle of shampoo with you (mine are 400ml).

    I save up little bottles and pots to decant various stuff into for hols, but I don't call 200ml 'little' (as per the OP's post).

    200ml is the normal size of shampoo I buy.

    I know how much shampoo, conditioner etc I'll use on holiday and decant into much smaller bottles.
