If you have never traveled to the Sunshine State you may be wondering what toiletries to pack when traveling to Florida. Florida is packed with beaches, golf courses, and amusement parks and you should be prepared for the heat and the sun when considering which toiletries to pack when traveling to Florida.
In this article we have a list of all of the toiletries you’ll need to pack when traveling to Florida as well as our recommendations if you need to purchase anything.
Toiletry Bags
When it comes to toiletries you’ll need to first have a good toiletries bag. Here are a couple we prefer.
BAGSMART Toiletry Bag
What We Like
- Comes in a variety of colors and sizes
- Multiple Pockets and Compartment
- Affordable
- Water Resistant
What We Don’t Like
- Difficult to access toiletries when full
- Stitching isn’t always durable
- Strange strap alignment
Review
This toiletries bag comes in three sizes, which is great for those who pack light or heavy. What we enjoy about this bag is that you can hang it on a door which makes all compartments accessible, however, if the bag itself is packed with items it can be difficult to access everything.
We loved that it came in an assortment of colors so you could match your luggage. One issue that we had is that some of the design is a little weak with the straps not lining up, and some of the stitching coming undone.
FUNSEED Travel Toiletry Bag
What We Like
- Water resistant
- Has a zippered pocket on the side
- Comes in four colors
- Side handle makes it easy to carry
What We Don’t Like:
- Cheap construction
- On the small size
- Does not have size options
Review
This toiletries bag is good for those who want something simple. It has a simple top zipper design so you can simply unzip and grab. Since there are no separate compartments, things can get a bit cluttered in there, but we feel its a good choice for folks looking for a simple and no hassle bag.
It comes in four color options, which we like so you can keep it matching your luggage: black, blue, gray, and pink. We especially enjoy the fact that it’s water resistant so you can bring it with you to the beach or pool with your bug spray or sunscreen.
Toothbrushes
Quip Electric Toothbrush
What We Like
- Toothbrush is electric
- Runs off of batteries
- Comes with convenient mirror mount and travel case
- Has a timer
What We Don’t Like
- Brushes with vibration instead of a sweeping motion
- Not durable
- Batteries don’t last long
Review
We love this toothbrush since it’s electric and uses a timer so that you know when to move onto the next section of teeth. It vibrates to brush the teeth, which some more aggressive brushes find to be inadequate.
We find this to be a perfect Florida travel toothbrush because it comes with a convenient travel case and has a mirror mount which allows you to conveniently keep your toothbrush when not in use. It also comes in three colors for those who want to personalize, and it is the perfect size to travel with.
GUM Travel Toothbrush
What We Like
- Folds up and is compact
- Has antibacterial bristles
- High quality
- Gentle on the gums
What We Don’t Like
- Odd to hold
- Case/Handle can break
This toothbrush is perfect for those who want to pack light on their trip to Florida. The brush itself folds into the handle to keep it compact, and it has hygienic bristles to keep it safe. Since the handle is also its case, holding the toothbrush while brushing can be a bit strange or uncomfortable.
We really like this toothbrush for traveling since it is nice and small and the case is the brush itself.
Toothpaste
Colgate Total Whitening Travel Toothpaste
What We Like
- Aluminum-Free, Paraben-Free, and Phthalate-Free
- Travel Sized
- Can get larger quantities
- Good for sensitive teeth
What We Don’t Like
- Only one flavor
- Doesn’t contain much product
Review
We enjoy this toothpaste since it’s a name brand product, and is well trusted. The tubing is travel size and it has a cap that allows you to stand it up on the sink or counter. We did find that the contents of the tube are a bit less than it would seem from looking at it.
Hello Antiplaque & Teeth Whitening Tablets
What We Like
- A fun alternative to toothpaste
- Plastic free
- Easy to travel with
- Completely vegan
What We Don’t Like
- Only comes in one flavor
- Doesn’t get foamy
Review
If you are looking for an alternative to toothpaste, we love these toothpaste tablets. They are easy to travel with and there are 60 per container so you can travel for a long time and not worry about toothpaste.
This product is good for those who are concerned with health since they are vegan and plastic-free, but it may take some getting used to since they don’t foam like toothpaste and can be gritty.
Deodorants
Native Natural Deodorant
What We Like
- All Natural Ingredients
- Lasts all day
- Good for men and women
- Comes in multiple scents
What We Don’t Like
- Complaints about it causing chaffing
- Some scents don’t smell pleasant
- Can stain shirts
What we enjoy about this deodorant is that it comes in multiple scents that are appropriate for both men and women like Eucalyptus & Mint and Citrus & Herbal Musk. Also, the deodorant is all natural, made with baking soda, coconut oil, and shea butter, which is good for the skin. This deodorant will last all day, even with long walks around Disney World or Universal Studios.
Sol De Janeiro Rio Deo Refillable Deodorant
What We Like
- Refillable
- Comes in three scents
- Durable travel size container
- Moisturizes underarms
What We Don’t Like
- Overpriced for amount provided
- Scent doesn’t stand up against excessive sweating
Review
We love the tropic scents provided by this deodorant, and think it’s perfect for a Florida vacation. The container is refillable, which is convenient, and we find that the container itself is durable enough to travel with. We also like that this deodorant is made from 98% naturally derived ingredients.
Shampoos/Conditioners
TRESemme Moisture Rich Shampoo & Conditioner
What We Like
- Perfect size for carry on bag
- Get both conditioner and shampoo
- Popular and trusted brand
What We Don’t Like
- Not all natural ingredients
- Containers are leaky
Review
This conditioner and shampoo combination is great for travel since it is the perfect size. We also like that it comes in an affordable pack with multiple small bottles. The issue we have found is that during shipping some people have mentioned them arriving with broke bottles or leaks.
BERGMAN KELLY Travel Size Shampoo and Conditioner
What We Like
- 2 in 1 Shampoo and Conditioner
- Paraben Free
- Great Scent
- TSA Approved Size
What We Don’t Like
- Doesn’t come in more scents
- Size is very small
Review
What we like most about this shampoo and conditioner, especially for travel, is that there is a seal to prevent leaks. Also, it’s the perfect size for your carry on, and it is a 2 and 1 shampoo and conditioner so you only need to bring one bottle.
Soaps/Body Washes
Native Body Wash
What We Like
- Hydrating
- Comes in multiple scents
- Good for sensitive skin
- Made of natural ingredients
What We Don’t Like
- Soap can leak from cap
- Can cause dryness in certain areas
Review
We love this body wash since it comes in 16 scents like Lilac & White Tea and Cucumber Mint, and it is all natural. This body wash is appropriate for both men and women so you only need to pack one for your trip to Florida with your significant other. This body wash is appropriate for sensitive skin although some folks who have used it reported getting some irritation in their armpit area.
Sol De Janeiro
What We Like
- Vegan
- Fruity floral scent
- Helps moisturize skin
- Can be used in part of a set to maintain healthy skin
What We Don’t Like
- Only comes in one scent
- Need to squeeze hard to get out product
- Travel size may not be enough for a long trip
Review
This body wash has a lovely scent of Brazilian jasmine and pink dragonfruit, which is perfect for a tropical trip to Florida. It comes in a very small travel size making it good for short trips, but may not last for longer travels. We like the container since it is durable and tough so no body wash gets out while you are traveling.
