This ‘brilliant’ $12 gadget keeps your toiletries from leaking in your luggage

I don’t know about you, but I’m not a fan of decanting my favorite shampoos to pack in my suitcase to take on a plane, train or car. I know I can buy small bottles of everything, but travel-sized versions of my favorite creams aren’t always available. I’ve gambled a few times, packing my full-sized shampoo bottles to have them leak all over my clothes (I’m still trying to forget the smell of vanilla body wash that lost its top between New York and Ohio in 2012) , but Amazon shoppers have found a solution to put an end to all that — Rinseroo LeakLocks Toiletry Skins, and they’re only $12.

These LeakLocks are a bit like thick balloons that extend over the top of bottles. The fit is airtight so no liquids can seep out – a game changer for some Amazon customers.

“I travel a lot and these are a game changer,” reported one five-star fan. “I no longer have to worry about my items spilling. Stretched to fit over practically anything. These are a must have if you’re traveling.”

They are made with hard thermoplastic so you can use them again and again without leaking. Shoppers love them for changing the way they travel.

“Genius!” wrote one excited reviewer. “I love these things and mine work great. The rubber is thick and strong, yet they are easy to use with bottles and tubes of all sizes. So I would recommend this product based on my very positive experience.”

“They might look funny, but man – do they work!” shared a shocked shopper. “People laughed when they saw it… but guess who then turned around and bought their own 🙂”

One of the best parts of LeakLocks is that they let you leave the MacGyvering to MacGyver.

“My husband made fun of me for buying these, but I was tired of using plastic bags for my bottles when I travel,” wrote one enthused reviewer. “These were perfect and fit over all the different kinds of bottles big and small I travel with and they are a breeze to just rinse out if something leaks a little inside. Definitely worth it!”

“With these, I no longer need to use packing tape to secure the lids of my liquids,” shared another five-star fan. “These are brilliant!”
