100ml travel bottles

WLITC

I'm looking to get some 100ml travel bottles for my holiday. There are shed loads of different ones on Amazon. Anyone recommend a particular set/supplier? In an ideal world ones with a lid and a pump dispenser/spray would be ideal as I want them for mainly sun tan lotion and after sun.

I got a couple of sets which included one bottle with a pump dispenser, two with flip up lids for shampoo/conditioner and a couple of small screw top jars, from Poundland

Primark sell them in a clear plastic bag - about 99p I think.

yes they do - the bag is rubbish, falls to bits, but the bottles do have dispensers and they've lasted us quite a few trips now .

That sounds quite good, jar types would be useful for the after sun as its quite a thick cream.

Are the Primark just basic bottles or a mixture of ones like the Poundland ones?

the Primark ones are a set of 2 bottles with dispenser caps, and 2 little pots with lids. They have labels you can write on too.

It might be a bit late for you now if you're off soon, but I save all little plastic bottles and pots and re-use them for holiday shampoo etc.

Alternatively you could just buy some products (eg moisturiser, shampoo) from Boots or Superdrug that come in 100 ml size bottles and re-use the bottles when they are empty. Just make sure the bottles are refillable type. This is what I did and I got better quality plastic bottles this way.

Only problem I can see that unless it's a very short holiday then 100ml of sun cream and aftersun won't be enough. The rule about liquids is only for hand luggage. I always pack my full size creams in my hold luggage (well wrapped). If possible I take ones that I've started rather than full ones but it does depend on how long I'm going for.

Hi all, urgent question, I got the Primark ones and they consist of two bottles, 1 slightly smaller bottle, one little pot and a funnel or something. Anyway, just transferred one bottle of suntan lotion into the two larger bottles and expect some to be left over as the sun tan lotion says 235 ml but the 2nd bottle didn't quite fill to the top. So filled another one (bought 3 sets of them) with water and then poured it into a measure and it seemed to hold almost 125 ml? !!!!!!? I assumed they would all be 100 ml or under bottles?? Has anyone used this specific bottle set to go overseas? How do the security guys differentiate between a bottle thats 100ml or 125ml?

BTW just logged at the label and it specifically says Primark Beauty - Travel Bottle Set 100ml bottles? Don't want to get to security and they make me throw them as all three came to about £24 in total (2 different SPF's and aftersun .. gonna spreading them over 6 x 100 ml bottles)
