    Some people only travel with hand luggage as it's very mse

    If you need wheels on your suitcase then I'd suggest it's no longer "hand luggage"

    She can, but the real question is should she? Why not just buy some when she arrives, and that removes the risk of arriving at her destination with a case full of gel-covered clothes.

    My OH has sensitive skin & used a certain brand of shower gel.
    We don't want to be checking out every shop to see if they have it.
    If they don't, we'd have a far bigger problem than gel-covered clothes. :)

    Ditto for suncream.
    We know what suits.

    I've taken shower gel & suncream in our hold luggage (wrapped in plastic bags and stuffed into shoes) for many years and have never had a problem with leakage.

    Is that because it's 100ml or less or a prescribed item?

    I will pack carefully for her , she has medical issues so its easier to take everything she needs.

    I saw something on the internet where you put a piece of cling film on the lid of toiletries to prevent leakages
