38 Useful Travel Products For Your Summer Trips
A cute Shark Tank-famous thermal phone case to keep your phone from overheating as you enjoy the sublime beaches of Portugal. This insulated case can reflect more than 90% of the heat from the sun. Plus, it is sink-proof, so it'll keep your phone on the surface of your hotel's pool.
A stylish, vegan leather Cincha travel belt so you don't have to bother with carrying your cumbersome personal bag while pulling your carry-on. Just put the bag atop your suitcase and keep it secure with this adjustable strap that has a quick-release buckle.
A pack of foldable hangers since the very few hangers that come with your hotel room simply won't hang all the fabulous dresses you brought with you. These compact hangers have a textured surface to help prevent clothes from slipping off them. They even open up to two sizes (child and adult).
A sleek 3-in-1 handheld fan that's also a portable charger and flashlight, so if you're caught in the dark and it's hot and your phone is on 1%, you'll be glad to have this gadget in your back pocket.
Some noise-reduction earplugs to help prevent any in-flight discomfort. Don't let painful air pressure changes start your journey off on the wrong foot. Reviewers also say these are great for altitude changes that occur while driving.
An inflatable travel pillow for the perfect in-flight nap. It might even help with neck pain! It has space for your head to rest leaning forward as well as two holes on either side to slide your arms through.
A doorstop alarm if you wanna be on the safe side while sleeping away from home. This doorstop can prevent people from fully opening the door, and if the door is opened, a loud alarm will sound. Said alarm has three adjustable levels of sensitivity.
A wireless transmitter because now you can use your wireless Bluetooth headphones anywhere there's a headphone jack. Easily watch movies while you're on the plane!
An inflatable beach pillow that won't get blown away by the wind! This soft and durable pillow wicks away water and sheds sand, so you can lie comfortably by the shore.
Tide sink packs so you can do your laundry in a sink if you're traveling to a place with no washing machine.
A durable and super-accurate digital luggage scale because you bought a lot of new clothes on your journeys, and you need to make sure your suitcase doesn't exceed your airline's weight maximum.
A roll-up sun visor — this easy-to-pack, wide-brim visor is as cute as it is handy. Let it help you block the sunlight while you traipse through the Caribbean.
A pair of travel "flossing" toothbrushes with dual-layered flossing bristles that are designed to get deep into the grooves of your teeth and gums so your teeth can look and feel sparklingly clean, even if your sugar tooth calls for a lottttt of gelato. If your hostel doesn't provide any complimentary toothbrushes for you (oops), these foldable toothbrushes have got your back (and your plaque)!
A waterproof phone pouch so you can go to the beach or pool without worrying about water damage to your phone. Wanna take a picture or send a text? No worries! You can still use your phone's touchscreen through the pouch. And it'll even allow you to take underwater photos!
A portable pack of soap sheets because you can't trust gas station bathrooms to have, well, anything. These are also great for use when out hiking and camping.
A portable stack of 50 games you and the family can play on the go. Whether your kids are tired of watching the same episode of Bluey on their iPad or have no interest in watching the clouds from thousands of feet in the sky, these games will help keep them entertained for the whole ride.
An anti-nausea acupressure bracelet that may help prevent any day-ruining queasiness caused by road trips and boat rides.
A super useful (and portable) AI-powered smartphone stabilizer so you can finally take some halfway decent, non-blurry shots of the Eiffel Tower. That photo album from 2007 is low-key tragic...
An Energizer clip-on light because the overhead lighting on the plane is honestly way too cruel (for you and your seatmates). Now you can see what you're reading without being a menace to your neighbor in seat 21J.
A cute lil' portable safe for keeping your phone, wallet, passport, and more secure while you enjoy your time on the Amalfi coast. You don't wanna think about your stuff getting stolen while you tour the Mediterranean.
A memory foam airplane footrest if you need your legs to be slightly elevated to feel any level of comfort while you fly from Point A to Point B. Just hang it from the tray table arms and get cozy!
A travel shawl with UPF 50+ protection that'll block 98% of the sun's rays when traveling through hotter climes AND keep you warm as you check out the city's nightlife on a chilly evening. It's also pretty multi-talented since it can be used as a scarf, a poncho, or a blanket!
A luggage-mounted cup caddy so you can keep your hands free to deal with finding your boarding pass. No more uncomfortably juggling your water bottle or cup of coffee and your passport!
An airplane window organization station for storing your beverages, phone, and other travel essentials. By moving things over to the window, you can use your tray for eating or, more importantly, napping.
A pair of portable USB-C cordless phone chargers if your device is chronically under 10% when you're out and about. You don't want your phone creeping to 0% while you're using Google Maps to figure out exactly where you are. This little guy gives you at least one full charge, shows you how much battery it has left, AND can even prop your phone up for watching videos or shows.
Alka-Seltzer hangover relief tablets because maybe you tend to drink more on vacation than you normally do. You don't want to have to deal with a hangover while you're on your feet all day, touring a new city.
An Apple AirTag so you can be prepared in the event that you lose your luggage. You can set up the AirTag with your iPhone or iPad so that it can be found via the Find My app.
A pack of Neutrogena makeup remover towelettes in case you couldn't bring your jug of micellar cleansing water with you, but you need to take off your winged eyeliner for the night so you don't wake up looking like a raccoon.
A Lay-n-Go cosmetic bag if you don't have too many beauty products but do want to keep them all in one easy-to-access place when traveling. Just lay this bag out, put your products on top, then pull the drawstring closed.
Low-top Blowfish sneakers because they don't have shoelaces, which means you can easily kick these babies off when you're about to go through airport security and then easily put them back on once you're done.
Or a pair of ballet flats that are super comfortable to walk in and are easy to take off and on.
A TSA-approved Alleyoop portable razor for giving yourself a little touch-up in the hotel bathroom before you head out for a night of dancing in that amazing mini dress.
An eight-compartment pill organizer because you'll still need your multivitamins when you're in Greece. Six of the compartments are small, and two are big, just in case you have large capsules you need to pack.
A shoe bag if you don't want your dirty hiking boots touching the white pants you packed. This durable and water-resistant bag has three layers that can hold up to size 13 shoes and two more compartments for holding flip-flops or sandals.
A pack of Dr. Frederick's Original blister bandages in case all your walking around a new city has caused a little pain. These help protect and prevent blisters!
Flushable toilet seat covers because rest stops and airport bathrooms simply cannot be trusted to be clean or free of germs. These biodegradable paper seat covers will help give you a little peace of mind.
A portable white-noise machine that'll help you when you're missing the sounds of a bustling city while you vacation in the countryside. Designed for travel, this compact machine has three soothing sound settings that'll help usher you to sleep.
And if you don't have a carry-on to pack all of these things into, check out this wheeled carry-on bag so you can avoid clamoring for a spot in the overhead storage bins. It can easily fit under the seat in front of you. No need to fight with shoulder straps when you can just wheel this lil' guy around the airport. Plus, it's got a side USB port for charging devices.

31 Travel Products You'll Wish You Had 10 Trips Ago
A *mini* Kindle because knowing that this lightweight guy holds thousands of books, has a battery life of up to six weeks, AND has a glare-free screen makes you wonder why you ever let books take up so much space in your carry-on. Now you can tackle your "to be read" list without sacrificing precious suitcase space! An airplane seat back organizer — if you've ever tried squeezing a full-size water bottle in the seat back pocket, you know the struggle. With these many pockets, you can keep snacks, water, and your phone all in a secure spot without having to annoy your seatmates when you get up for the fifth time to get something from the overhead bin. Plus, a drink holder for all you window seat lovers who want to utilize every inch of space possible when you're on a flight, no matter how long or short it is. Those too-tiny tray tables never have enough room, but this thing can hold your drinks and other things, like your phone or glasses! A universal travel adapter perfect for international travelers who always find a way to make it to multiple countries with different plug types. This is designed to work in 160 countries and it lets you plug up to five devices at once. A set of silicone "EarPlanes" for those who are tired of always having to deal with the annoying pressure in their ears felt during takeoff and landing. No more constant gum chewing, ear tugging, or yawning to get rid of that "popping" feeling. AND, they'll even work for road trips with high altitude changes. A 4-in-1 makeup brush set that saves so much room in your makeup bag because it's only the size of ONE brush. You get a foundation, eye shadow, concealer, AND powder brush! Any wannabe makeup artists on the go, this one's for you. An eight-compartment pill organizer so you don't have to take up room in your toiletry bag with all your important medications. This compact little guy is great for travel, and some have even used the empty compartments to store smaller items like jewelry! An AirFly Pro wireless transmitter, because that time you had to suffer through that long flight without using your fancy-schmancy earbuds was brutal, and you'd like to never do that again. This allows you to connect via Bluetooth and prevents you from having to settle for those uncomfortable plastic earbuds. A 2-in-1 straightener and curling iron — a must-have if you're all about a multifunctional tool that doesn't take up a lot of room in your carry-on. This is also dual voltage, which is so handy when traveling internationally. A simple luggage strap so your travel pillow, jacket, or personal item has a designated place, other than being flailed over your arm while you're trying to juggle your plane ticket and all those airport snacks you bought from the Hudson News kiosks. A trifold travel wallet that keeps all your important documents in one secure, RFID-blocking place. Now you'll never be the one rooting through your bag in front of the TSA agent or gate agent when it's finally time to show your passport and boarding pass. An electronics organizer with different compartments for your cords, charging blocks, and portable chargers. If you're guilty of leaving charging cords tangled at the bottom of your bag, this is going to be a lifesaver for your travel game. A bendy travel pillow for window seat lovers who need a soft place for their head, because the side of the plane is just not cutting it. This twists in different ways, so you can get comfortable and not wake up from your nap with a twist in your neck. Or a Trtl travel pillow because you somehow always get stuck in the middle seat, and you want something that will actually support your head during the flight. The internal support system keeps you upright, while the super soft fleece helps you get in those well-deserved Zs. A collapsible silicone water bottle to save you from purchasing an "I can't believe this is $7" plastic water bottle at the airport or the only one-off store after your long hike in the mountains. This is refillable and rolls up to be super compact when you're done sipping. A luggage-mounted cup caddy because the thought of a spilled macchiato on the airport floor right before you're trying to make it to your gate is not how you want to start the vacation of your dreams. Keep your drink (and snacks) hands-free and make your travel day just a teeny bit more hassle-free. An on-the-go Gillette razor that proves that all the best things in life come in small packages. This five-blade razor saves space and saves you from using those cheap disposable razors that just don't step up to the plate. A hands-free (rotating!) phone mount because I simply cannot get over that some airlines don't have screens!!! Just because you're taking a Hopper flight doesn't mean that you shouldn't enjoy those 40 minutes of Jane the Virgin. Clip this onto the tray table or even your luggage to heal your inner iPad kid. A packing list pad to help remind you of all the things you'll need for your trip, because we've all somehow ended up forgetting even the most basic of items like toothpaste and extra underwear. A Beis backpack that will put all your other past bags you used for your personal item to shame. It looks like a regular old backpack but has all-around zipping so you can open it up like a mini suitcase. This has sooo many pockets, padded straps, and a space for your water bottle, too. An adjustable universal travel harness seat to make traveling with a little one just a tad bit easier, since it magically converts pretty much any regular chair into a secure high chair. You'll find that this thing is so handy that you'll be wondering why you didn't get this sooner. A 3-in-1 foldable wireless charging pad that charges your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods all at the same time. You can stay organized by getting rid of tangled cords *and* the high-quality magnets in the pad make sure your items don't slip away. And when folded up, it easily fits into your pocket. A pack of LeakLocks Toiletry Skins — yeah, they might look like a funny-looking sock over your shampoo and face wash, but what you won't find funny is a big ol' liquid mess in your suitcase. These fit full-size and travel-size toiletries and prevent those cute white jeans from being stained with your purple shampoo. A digital luggage scale, a beacon of hope for the over-packer, the shopaholic, and the just-in-case suitcase stuffer. Don't make it hard on yourself, and play the guessing game of how much your bag weighs. Reviewers say the scale is easy to use and pretty darn close to the scales at the airport. A travel-friendly blanket-slash-pillow for those who wish they could personally ask the pilot to turn down the freaking AC on the plane. This is a BIG step above the thin fabric that the airlines call a blanket since it's made from super soft microfleece, AND it even has a trolley pass-through pocket so you can slide it over your carry-on. A combination 3D eye mask/travel pillow that straps onto the headrest so you can get some rest without doing the whole bobblehead act and jerking yourself out of a deep sleep. You'll be feeling like a certified genius for adding this to your travel arsenal. Or a cooling, memory foam contoured sleep mask for when all you wanna do is catch some Zs on your flight, but your neighbor with a reading light or open window has other ideas. 🙄 This puts no pressure on your eyes and completely blocks out light while still allowing you to freely blink so that you can get some beauty sleep before you land! A Pashmina scarf that's basically a 4-in-1 since it can be used as a comfy blanket or pillow, a scarf or wrap while you're out and about, and even as a shield to protect yourself from the sun since it's got UPF 50+ protection! A travel jewelry case because you're tired of untangling that giant knot that your necklaces, bracelets, and rings got themselves into. No more throwing your jewelry into a sandwich bag or in your toiletry bag when this keeps them neatly organized. And the Ring Thing — a waterproof holder that keeps your rings in a secure place whenever you don't feel like wearing them. This tightly clips onto your bag or reusable water bottle, and just like that, your most precious jewelry is safe and sound. A Tushbaby carrier since your little one is always wanting "uppies" and you might not always have a stroller on every adventure during your trip. This wraps around your waist and supports your kid to ease the weight on your back and arms. It even has extra pockets for diapers, bottles, and your phone!
