Only One Quart!

[ling]

Whoever made the rule that you can only bring on liquids that fit into a one quart bag has got to be a gun toting, tobacco chewing, man who has no sympathy for what it takes to be a woman, but will make you feel ugly if you don’t do all those girly things.  Because seriously, how can you fit your face wash, your toner, your day moisturizer, your night moisturizer, your make-up remover, your shampoo, your conditioner, your body wash, your hairspray, your hair smoother, your contact lens solution and your
toothpaste into a one quart bag?

Can't you take several one-quart bags? I travelled like that once.

Really?! I wish. The airport said only one bag.

Stuff like contact solution doesn't have to fit in the bag because it's medically necessary. Not that I knew that last time I flew...

This is good to know since I have a travel sized solution that I'm stuffing into the bag. I'm moving that into another container. Think of all the sanitary issues with that!

There are still rules for it, afaik. Medical stuff can be any size, but you need to put it in another bag so they can inspect it. There's a list on the website...er, but I don't even remember what the thing is called that made all these rules. But you know the one. :S

I found the TSA site. It says I only get one quart of junk, however, I can bring on as much KY jelly as I want. Oh boy!!!

I'm going to put my eyedrops and saline solution into another quart sized bag, apparently that's ok.

Especially if you have particularly sensitive skin and need better girly things.

Seriously. I mean, some of those hotel soaps can be really harsh and drying on the skin. But then again, it is a Hilton hotel, so it's not like it's the Holiday Inn. I'm going to chance that shampoo and conditioner and soap. But not my facewash! That's coming with me!

Literally, almost all cleansers will throw me into athsma attacks, so I have to be really careful about what I use. It's not that simple for me. :(

Strangely, plain old soap isn't usually one of the things that annoys, at least not in the short term.

It's the laurel and laureth sulfates that get me.
