If You’re Going On A Long Trip, You’ll Wanna Invest In These 31 Products

BuzzFeed-Shopping·2025-06-05 05:05

1. A flat RFID-blocking fanny pack that keeps your essentials safe and your shoulders blissfully unburdened for the duration of your three-week trip. This slim, comfy belt also protects you from digital pickpockets, so you can focus on navigating your way through crowded tourist spots instead of worrying about your credit card info being stolen.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Discreet yet spacious. I purchased this for a recent trip. I was able to fit my phone, passport, credit cards, and cash in it easily, and it wasn’t bulky or obvious under my clothing. It was comfortable to wear for extended periods of time." —KailensMom

Get it from Amazon for $12.76 (available in 20 styles and two sizes). 

2. A pack of vacuum-free space-saving compression bags so you can bring all your bulky sweaters and jackets on that multi-country trip across the world. These are great for cramming as much as you can (and then some) into your suitcase, AND they make it much easier to sort through your carry-on to pull out toiletries or other items for security.

Emma Lord/BuzzFeed

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord loves these: "HELLO, I AM OBSESSED WITH THESE. Despite all the rave reviews, I was definitely skeptical of space-saving bags that didn't require a vacuum, and even as they were actively squishing my clothes into oblivion, I still couldn't quite believe it. I had easily two suitcases worth of clothes I wanted to pack for a three-week trip to London, and I managed to neatly pack the entirety of my wardrobe in one roller carry-on bag. Truly, all I had to do was put my clothes in the bag, push them to the bottom, and then sit on it to get the air out before sealing it up. I had tons of extra bags and made a habit of taking them with me in case other people joining me on trips need them to be able to pack souvenirs on the way home. I'm never taking a long trip without these again — these are worth every damn penny."

3. A hands-free (rotating!) phone mount designed to work on ~any~ airplane (and compatible with most phones) — just attach it to the tray table, and you'll be able to watch your downloaded episodes of The White Lotus with ease. You can also mount it on your rented car's dashboard (helpful for navigation in a new country), a luggage handle, gym equipment, or pretty much any flat surface!

www.amazon.com

Perilogics is a small business creating hyper-functional tool holsters and bags for carrying your stuff on the go. 

Promising review: "I bought this nifty gadget about six months ago for a multi-leg, ultra long-haul trip and it more than held up the entire duration. I was able to finagle it to fit the tray tables on different planes and like others, I find the height just nice when clamped onto a stowed tray table. It also works on my roller carry-on handle during layovers." —Earendil

Get it from Amazon for $13.97 (available in seven colors and packs of two).

4. A pack of ~tingly~ warming foot masks that can help soothe, revive, and nourish tired feet, leaving them feeling refreshed and pampered. They're made with Epsom salt and menthol to penetrate deep into your foot muscles for instant relief, while the shea butter and essential oils moisturize and soften your soles. Just slip your feet into these "booties" after a week of exceeding your step count and let them work their magic to ease the aches, so you're ready to do it all over again next week.

Emma Lord / BuzzFeed

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord also has these: "I'm a long-ish distance runner, and these were certainly an interesting experience for my feet! You slide them on and, after a few minutes, feel a tingling, mildly burning (in a good way) sensation. It doesn't quite numb your feet, but it relaxes them. I kept them on for 30 minutes and then toweled my feet off, and the tingling sensation slowly faded over the next 30 minutes. After that, my feet felt very refreshed and relaxed at a time of day when they're usually aching from all the miles I put in. The whole thing was a mess-free, easy process, and I will definitely keep them on hand for longer run days!"

Get three pairs from Amazon for $11.97.

5. Some Tide sink packets so you can wash your smelly clothes in the sink and rewear all your favorite items. These can easily fit in your toiletries bag — even when it's packed to the brim — and you'll be so glad you brought them when you run out of clean underwear. 

Tide

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Elizabeth Lilly is a big fan of these: "Each pack comes with three packets. And, because they *are* liquid, they'll easily slide into the side of your toiletries bag. I've packed these on international trips to much success!"

Promising review: "I bought these just in case. I'm the overly prepared type. And then I was sitting there in Florence eating this incredible sandwich for lunch, and it all came pouring out the bottom on to my linen pants. Olive oil, liquid from sundried tomatoes.... FUUUUUUUUDGE. Luckily we were eating in our room, so I immediately stripped my pants off, put them in the tub and dumped in two of these Tide packets. We'd packed carry-on only, so I needed these pants frequently! The Tide saved the day. They also came in handy to refresh my husband's socks after walking around in the heat all day. GET THEM. It's an easy pack and a no-brainer." —NolaForever

Get nine packs from Amazon for $6.35 (available in two scents and four pack sizes).

6. A capacious travel backpackthat lets you carry a shocking amount of stuff, which is exactly what you need when you’ll be living out of it for a few weeks (just make sure you can still stuff it under the seat). It has two laptop sleeves, a secret anti-theft pocket, a USB charging port, a shoe compartment, and a bag to isolate your dirty clothes or keep liquids away from your electronics. This thing is like the LeBron of backpacks. 🏀 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I recently took a cross-country flight with my three kids. I really didn't want to worry about checked bags getting lost so maximizing our carry-ons was a priority. This backpack fit an unfathomable amount of stuff! Lots of zippers and compartments for everything from shoes to laptops/iPads, easy access compartments for cell phones and boarding passes, I fit tons of neatly folded clothes. The best part was that fully loaded it easily slid under the seat." —Kindle Customer

Get it from Amazon for $34.19+ (available in four sizes and 38 styles). 

7. A digital luggage scale because after a few months of traveling, you definitely have a collection of souvenirs adding at least a couple pounds to your luggage. Just strap it around the handle, pull up a little, and it'll tell you the weight of your suitcase! We all know that haunting feeling of approaching the check-in desk, not knowing if we'll have to A) pay way too much for a bag or B) open our suitcase on the floor in front of everyone and frantically rearrange everything. 

www.amazon.com

Check out BuzzFeed Shopping editor Elizabeth Lilly's TikTok of the digital luggage scale in action. 

Promising reviews: "This scale works and was accurate on four flights. The first flight was a test at 46 pounds, and the Delta scales said it was 46 pounds. The next two flights were at 49 pounds, and both United and Delta found it to be 49 pounds. The bag on the fourth flight weighed 49, but the United scale found it to be 48 pounds. Four different airports and scales proved that this scale is a good, low-cost, must-have item for air travel." —Robert

Get it from Amazon for $9.89+ (available in four colors and also a two-pack).

8. A July carry-on suitcase to finally replace that beat-up old roller you've been using since 2012. The sleek hardshell, reinforced bumpers, and TSA-approved lock will keep your belongings protected, while the ejectable USB-C battery, silent wheels, and a hidden laundry bag will make your long trips go even smoother.

July

Promising review: "I've been looking for a carry-on replacement for some time. My last carry-on was from 2007, so it was super old and not very good. Now that I have my July Carry On, I couldn't be more pleased. It's so good from functionality to style. I love the laundry bag — it's great that I don't have to remember to take my own separate laundry bag with me anymore — and the charging is so useful. The wheels are silent and smooth — so much so that on the slightest decline the bag will 100% roll away from you. The bumpers are a bit scratched after some use, but it's hardy/designed to protect what's inside, and I accept that there will be some of that happening on long-haul flights. I really enjoy the personalization as well — I had my name and a little frog etched on the top — so cute!" —Ameeka N.

Get it from July for $295 (available in 10 colors; plus you can add personalization for $50).

9. A compact I Dew Care "Tap Secret" mattifying powder shampoo with a sponge applicator — it's not a liquid, so you don't have to take it out of your bag when going through security! It'll really come in clutch when you're spending weeks in places with hard water and want to minimize the number of times you wash your hair.

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Check out a TikTok of the dry shampoo in action. 

Promising review: "I've had the best results from this dry shampoo than any other. It's a small container, but it lasts a very long time because a little really does go a long way! I also do this the night before, so the powder-y look goes away by morning, and it's more absorbed; you can also add a light oil to your ends and work it up if it feels too dry. There's no scent either, and it is very convenient for travel! This is the only thing that still makes my hair look 'clean' on the no hair wash days!" —Alice

Get it from Amazon for $18 (available in six shades and in packs of two or three, and with refills available).

10. A slim-profile phone power bank that'll keep your phone juiced up when outlets become elusive, and you’ve got another full day of navigating, photo-taking, and translation app-ing ahead. This one is small but mighty (it can fully charge an iPhone up to three times!) and perfect to have with you on long days.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I like the solid and sleek construction. Fits easily in my pocket. Most importantly, it works! Fast charging, enough capacity to charge my phone many times over several days, and withstands plenty of me dropping it and yanking the cord out awkwardly and accidentally." —Joe Hull

Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in two colors).

11. A compact first aid kit stocked with essentials for scrapes, blisters, stings, and any random splinters you get while backpacking through Europe. It’s small enough to toss in your bag but packed enough to keep any minor injuries from turning into trip-ruining emergencies.

www.amazon.com

This compact first aid kit includes 10 round bandage adhesive strips, five butterfly strips, 100 small (40x10mm) strips, 100 standard adhesive strips, one triangle bandage, 10 gauze swabs, five cotton swabs, one burn dressing, one instant ice pack, one emergency blanket, eight soap wipes, one PBT bandage, a pair of plastic scissors, a tourniquet, one adhesive tape, a pair of tweezers, one set of safety pins, 10 wipe pads, and a sturdy first aid bag.

Promising review: "Perfect for my vacation, a 'just in case' kit. Definitely worth the value, a neatly packed first aid kit with ease of use. It fits perfectly in luggage, looks great, and all its contents are suitable for use should an emergency occur." —Samora

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in 11 colors and three sizes).

12. A universal travel adapter that works in 160 countries, so you can rest assured your devices will stay charged on all your international adventures. It has four USB ports and one outlet socket, so you can charge up to five devices at once! I'd bet money that if there were a modern-day Indiana Jones, he'd have this in his travel bag. 

www.amazon.com

But remember that this is not a voltage converter!

Promising review: "I am a digital nomad so I travel full-time around the world. I have a lot of devices to charge (laptop, Kindle, phone, backup battery, portable wi-fi device, camera, the list goes on). A lot of times hostel bunks or hotel rooms only have one outlet and with the previous adapter I was using, I had to charge one device at a time. I used to literally set my alarm to wake up in the middle of the night and switch devices so that I could get more than one device fully charged overnight. I did my research finally and settled on this one because it is universal and has four USB ports. What a GAME CHANGER. On my latest trip I was able to charge all my devices at once and it made traveling so much smoother. It seems well made and good quality, too. Definitely recommend for my digital nomad and traveling peers. Happy travels! :)" —Maggie A.

Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in two colors and one with a USB-c port).

13. A compact but mighty 2-in-1 wall charger and portable power bank meaning you can juice up your devices at the hotel and then keep them going strong while on the go. It’s got two USB-C ports and a USB-A port, so you can charge your phone, tablet, and earbuds all at once. No more outlet scavenger hunts at the airport or panicking when all the cafe outlets are taken.

Amazon

Promising review: "I traveled for four weeks and this nice unit was perfect — charged everyone's iPhones during the day, and my iPad and my computer while taking the train for a few hours at a time. Other than it being a little heavy for all day carrying, it was a perfect unit to buy." —Julie

Get it from Amazon for $109.99 (available in two styles). 

14. A RFID-blocking travel wallet to keep your most important documents protected and together — especially that passport you’ve now pulled out 47 times hopping from country to country. This thing is nicely organized — so when you're going through security, you *won't* be frantically digging through your bag for your passport as the TSA agent glares at you.

www.amazon.com

The wallet has a passport pocket, boarding pass compartment, three credit card slots, an ID slot, a slim card pouch, a slim pocket, a ticket slot, a cellphone pouch, a coin zippered pocket, a key holder, and a pen holder. 

Promising review: "I absolutely love this wallet. I needed a new travel wallet, and this holds everything I need all in one place, and it still closes nicely and stays flat! I can fit my boarding pass, passport, ID, credit cards, money, checked baggage tickets, receipts, and more in it, yet it doesn’t bulk up or look like an overstuffed mess. It's just amazing. The description says it only holds US money, but I just used the boarding pass flap to hold all my Japanese yen (¥), which are larger. I didn’t use the zippered pocket for coins as I much prefer a separate coin purse for that sort of thing. I definitely recommend to anyone who travels a lot!" —Anthony Luu

Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in 30 colors).

15. A waterproof pouch so you can use your phone 🎶 under the sea 🎶 and get those cool underwater pics without worrying about ruining your expensive device! It's also a great fix for keeping out sand and dirt, which will really come in handy when you're spending over a month in Costa Rica. 

www.amazon.com

It fits any phone up to 100 mm x 170 mm (or about 3.9 inches x 6.7 inches). It's also a great fix for keeping out sand and dirt (and a great option for runners, if you're caught in the rain but still want to be able to toggle through your music options).

Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor Elizabeth Lilly has to say about it: "With these, I find that they're good for about a day due to condensation. I've used this case to take underwater pics, on boat rides, and have worn it with the lanyard, jumping off a boat into water. So I really trust these!" 

Promising review: "I purchased this case in July for an upcoming canoe trip with a friend, and as luck would have it, we flipped our canoe. Being the rebel that I am, I chose not to wear my phone around my neck. And so it, my ID, and my debit card ended up at the bottom of the river. Fast-forward to this week. I was contacted via FB by an Alachua County Sheriff’s Office diver, and guess what he found? Yup, my phone case with all of the contents intact and dry as a bone! He had to cut the case open, but there was not one single drop of water in it, and he ended up purchasing a case for himself because he was just that impressed!" —Julie McDonald

Get it from Amazon for $6.29 (available in 12 colors and packs of two).

16. The AirFly, a gadget that plugs into the airplane’s headphone jack use your good Bluetooth headphones to watch the entire Hunger Games series on that super long flight to Japan — instead of settling for the crappy airline earbuds. Plus, it also works on gym equipment and gaming devices!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor Chelsea Stuart has to say about them: "Last year I splurged on some AirPod Maxes and for the amount of money I threw down on them, I was determined to get as much use out of them as possible and that included on plane rides. With the AirFly Pro, I can connect my headphones via Bluetooth and use the seat-back screen without having to fiddle with the free wired headphones they hand out that 1.) have horrible sound quality and 2.) don't fit my ears in the slightest. (I swear my ear canals are tiny or something??)"

Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok and bought it instantly for an upcoming trip. I wish I knew about this sooner so I could enjoy inflight entertainment without needed additional headphones. This allows for that, which is great. It works so well, my husband bought one as well. Highly recommend." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $34.97+ (available in five styles and three colors).

17. A waterproof Kindle so you can delve into the fantasy land of ACOTAR while relaxing by (or in!) the pool. It's compact, glare-free, and has a ton of storage for thousands of books, plus a battery life that lasts much longer than your seven-hour flight — up to 10 weeks! 

www.amazon.com, Abby Kass / BuzzFeed

It also features adjustable warm light that's much easier on your eyes.

Former BuzzFeeder Abby Kass swears by her Kindle as a travel must-have: "Yes, that is me [above] sitting in a pool in Hawaii holding my Kindle over the water without fear or stress that if it falls in, it will break. Truly living my best life."

Promising review: "I LOVE reading and being able to access a book anywhere with this thing. It is easy to navigate, very easy to read and adjust the brightness or how warm the light is. It doesn't auto adjust, but I don't need that feature. I've read in bright sunlight to dark rooms, and it's always been so clear. You can adjust the font and use the library to search whatever books you want. Makes packing books for traveling very easy. Battery life lasts me two weeks if I'm reading every day for a few hours." —R@L0

Get it from Amazon for $149.99 (available in three colors, with eight or 16 GB, and with or without lockscreen ads).

18. A waterproof travel cable organizer to keep all your chargers, earbuds, and other cords from becoming a tumbleweed that takes up a quarter of your bag. It has different compartments so you can easily find what you need while hotel-hopping in Asia!

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "This case has been amazing for storing my earbuds, various loose cable connectors, chargers, etc. I am using it right now on a trip and it has been fantastic for keeping these items in one convenient, organized place. It is lightweight and fits easily into my one carry on item when boarding the many flights I am taking. I’m pretty sure I will still be using it to keep all these items together and more easy to locate when I return home! I am so glad I bought this!" —V. Elia

Get it from Amazon for $9.85+ (available in 23 styles and three sizes). 

19. A magnetic folding pill organizer so you don't have to deal with multiple pill bottles taking up precious space and jostling around in your luggage. This compact organizer keeps your vitamins and meds neatly sorted in seven compartments, all secured with a satisfying magnetic closure that ensures no accidental spills.

www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "I purchased this because I saw them all over TikTok. As someone with chronic illness I honestly carry around like 10 different pill bottles for 'just in case' situations. This little pill box is a great size, I love that it’s magnetic and each little compartment fits a good amount of pills. It won’t fit a ton of Tums if that’s what you’re looking for, but the amount of space this has saved in my bag is amazing!" —Jasmin Salas

"The small case is great for five day travel and the bigger holds enough for 15 day travel. And I love the closure. Great purchase!!!" —Sara E.

Get it from Amazon for$8.99 (available in two sizes, packs of two, and 13 colors).

20. A splurgeworthy detachable leather Bandolier crossbody iPhone case with a subtle spot for cash and credit cards. This thing is perfect for bouncing between museums, shops, and restaurants without lugging a full bag. And when you *just* want your phone, you can simply take off the strap and have a cute case!

Amazon

Bandolier is a small business that specializes in crossbody bags for fashion and utility. 

Promising review: "Worth the cost. So perfect for daily use, vacations, theme parks and hikes. Not having to dig through my bag/purse to snap a picture, check my phone and get my ID/credit card out is so nice and easy. The quality is unbeatable!" —Angeleno4Life

Get it from Amazon for$112 (available in eight different iPhone models and three colors). 

21. A set of silicone "EarPlanes" to help with painful ear popping from all the altitude changes during a flight. It has a twist design so they stay PUT, and reviewers have even used them for driving in the mountains, so they'd be great for that long road trip through the Alps!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This product has changed my life. I travel fairly frequently and always have issues with ear pressure on the plane. My ears will be clogged up, and it is painful to swallow for a day or two after short-distance flights. But now, I use these and fly incident-free. You are supposed to insert them before the plane takes off and then before landing. I have found that it works best if I leave them in the entire flight from before takeoff until landing, but they work almost as well if you take them out once you reach cruising altitude." —Thomasina

Get a pack of one from Amazon for $8.75 (available in packs of one, three, five, or ten).

22. A hanging luggage organizerthat's basically a portable closet. You can arrange everything while you pack, and when you get to your destination, just hang it up and that's it! You'll have perfectly organized clothes for the whole trip.

www.amazon.com

Bonus: This works with your existing suitcase, unlike versions of this that come pre-built into more expensive versions! 

Promising review: "I was able to pack seven outfits and have way more space in this organizer. I just packed the clothes in the organizer, closed it up, and placed it in my carry on. Once I got to the hotel, I just hung it in my closet. It would be perfect for cruises since their is never any drawer space and very little room to move around." —jess

Get it from Amazon for $20.89+ (available in two sizes, six colors, and sets of two). 

23. An airplane seat back organizer because, let’s face it, constantly getting up to grab something from your carry-on is a pain for you and everyone around you. This thing and its four roomy pockets make it so easy to reach all the gadgets and goodies you brought for your 15-hour flight without leaving your seat. Annnd it saves you from the all-too-common experience of reaching into your airplane pocket...and pulling out used napkins. 🤢

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Airplane Pockets is a small business that specializes in sanitary, portable travel organization products. 

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says, "I used this on a roundtrip from NYC to Tokyo, both with connecting flights in Canada, and cannot sing its praises enough. It fit all four of the different tray tables I used it on and was so ridiculously handy for keeping track of all my littler odds and ends like AirPods, the plane's headphones, earplugs, a sleep mask, a book, gum, a scrunchie, and little snacks. The hanging end of it easily tucked into the built-in sleeve of the seat in front of me for takeoff and when other passengers needed to scoot past me in my aisle seat. Usually, I feel like a hot mess and get frustrated rooting around in the grimy sleeve for my stuff, and this was such a refreshing solution! Several flight attendants even asked where I got it to buy one for themselves!"

Get it from Amazon for $29.99. 

24. A water-resistant insulated water bottle carrier that'll save you from lugging your bottle by hand all day while keeping your drink cool during your month of sightseeing in Australia. It’s got extra pockets for small essentials (keys, cards, or lip balm) and a water-resistant shell, so it holds up during drizzly hikes or sweaty walks around the city.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Very handy when traveling or at the gym! I got this one after getting a different brand that is smaller. I love the extra pockets on this and the roomy section for ANY water bottle or a smaller water bottle and other stuff. The zipped pocket holds my iPhone Max just fine. Just took this on a cruise and several people commented wishing they had one. So much easier than a backpack or something for your water bottle." —Judy

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+(available in 14 colors). 

25. A reusable gel lint roller to keep your clothes looking pristine after petting all the stray cats in Istanbul. It's compact, easy to throw in your bag, and all it takes to restore its stickiness is washing the interior, so it can be reused for your whole trip. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok a bunch of times and finally decided to get it. I hate the paper lint rollers, they never seem to work that well and I hate that I have to throw them away. This is awesome because it fits right in my bag, and I’m able to reuse it over and over. It’s super sticky and works great!" —Ella

Get it from Amazon for $9.88+ (available in four colors). 

26. A bar of natural, plastic-free solid shampoo that can last up to 80 washes, which is the equivalent of three (!!!) bottles of liquid shampoo. This compact bar not only frees up precious luggage space but also eliminates plastic waste, thanks to its fully compostable packaging.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "First time I bought this soap it was for traveling. Lugging around large bottles of shampoo for six people for a 4–6-week vacation is just not an option, and buying shampoo is sketchy since a couple of us have soap allergies. The little bar packs up perfectly in a little baggie and takes the smallest amount of luggage space. One bar washed six heads of hair for five weeks!! Every day!! Suds well and cleans well." —Dominique B. 

Get it from Amazon for $15+ (available in 23 styles and a pack of two).

27. A pack of LeakLocks Toiletry Skins to keep your products from exploding as the air pressure changes. These fit both full- and travel-sized bottles, so whether you need to bring a giant bottle of sunblock for your long trip in Thailand in your checked bag or a small bottle of shampoo in your carry-on, you'll have everything covered (literally).  

www.amazon.com

Rinseroo is a small business specializing in problem-solving cleaning, pet, and travel products. 

Promising review: "These covered various sizes of products — hair care, body wash, etc. Nothing leaked out of these whatsoever, even after a lid popped open during a flight. These prevented it from leaking out on the other contents of my luggage. Easy to use. Not flimsy. Very flexible. LOVE THESE!" —TAG

Get a four-pack from Amazon for $11.99 (available in four colors and an eight-pack). 

28. A fast-drying microfiber towel you can fold into a compact square and fit into the smallest of carry-ons. It's perfect for travelers who aren't staying in hotels, and reviewers love to bring it camping because of how lightweight it is!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Perfect towel for the gym, travel, and more! I have two of these towels, a large one and a small one. I live on a boat, where space is limited and the fact that these towels fold up incredibly small is my favorite thing! My second favorite thing is how fast they dry when hung up, so that I can store them away without having to wait hours and hours for them to dry in my compartment. I use the small towel at the gym and it is super absorbent and super lightweight, I usually forget it is on me. Fantastic towel, definitely recommend." —Sam the Man

Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in 18 colors and six sizes). 

29. A MakeUp Eraser to replace your (read: *not* TSA-friendly) liquid makeup remover or bulky pack of wipes, which are bound to run out — but not this towel. To cleanse your face, all you need is this and some water! And then to make it even better, the other side will gently exfoliate your face, which you'll be very grateful for after a sweaty day of sightseeing.

www.amazon.com, Amazon

It's got two sides — one that can wipe off all your makeup with water and a light scrubbing, and another that exfoliates your skin. Plus, all you have to do when you're done using it is wet it and hang it up to dry! No more wasting money on icky washcloths that hurt your skin!!! I can hear your pores singing from here.

Promising review: "Good quality and sewing/finishing. Gets every trace of makeup off without any stress. Love these! Love taking them on trips so I don't ruin other people's towels and such with removing my makeup. These wash up fresh and beautiful all the time. Got the black ones, so they look as fresh as the day I bought them." —HeartofAvalon

Get it from Amazon for $18.73+ (available in 16 colors).

30. A set of two foldable waterproof shoe bags if you’ve ever thrown your dirty sneakers into a suitcase next to your clothes and instantly regretted all your life choices. You can store up to one pair of sneakers and one pair of slippers in one bag so you can bring all your go-to shoes on your multi-city trip. 

Amazon

Promising review: "Took this on vacation and I bought two, one for myself and one for my boyfriend. My feet are women’s size 6 and my boyfriend's are men’s size 9. We were both able to fit one pair of slipper/slides and one pair of shoes. My boyfriend and I just placed on top of each other. We had mud on our shoes and sand but it didn’t get mixed up with the rest of our belongings (hence why I purchased the darker color, I knew the lighter one would stain/look so dirty). I will def use this every single time I travel." —OctoberPaperTrails

Get a set of two from Amazon for $14.99 (available in eight colors and sets of two, four, six, and eight). 

31. A blister-preventing balm that creates a dry, invisible barrier to protect your feet from rubbing and chafing against sandal straps after many days of hiking in Bali. It's made with vitamins A and C to help minimize inflammation, while keeping your skin soft and smooth.

Promising review: "Wow. I took this on vacation, during which we walked about 20,000 steps daily. And of course my shoes begin to rub against parts of my feet, terribly.

I used it on my toes, ankle area, etc., and my feet felt great (normal)." —Y.
