Murray and I use the same list of toiletries for packing. It is always the same, no matter the trip we are taking – scuba diving or touring. We each have our own preferences and do carry our own stuff. Some of the items from the First Aid Kit list migrate to our toiletries bags. Here is the list:
- Contacts
- Dental Splint
- Dental Floss
- Deodorant
- Hair Goop (liquids bag)
- Lip Balm (liquids bag)
- Moisturizer (liquids bag)
- Nail Clippers – finger, toe
- Q Tips
- Razor & Blades
- Sanitary Products
- Shampoo & Conditioner (liquids bag)
- Shaving Oil (liquids bag)
- Soap
- Toothbrush
- Toothpaste (liquids bag)
I do not wear make-up so I do not have to deal with packing those items. I carry a minimum amount of hair goop and mostly go natural. I usually take a partially full tube of toothpaste. For a scuba diving trip, where my rollie bag is mostly BCD, I use a ziploc for a toiletries bag as it packs better. On a touring type trip I use a rectangular shaped cosmetic bag.
After I took all these photos, Murray transferred his toiletries into a ziploc for easier packing. He will use the orange bag on a touring type trip.
