Trying to keep up on the most useful ways to travel

A few years ago, my oldest daughter got really into all of these little travel containers. She took a few trip to Europe with them and told me how great they were.

Of course, I can be stuck in my ways. I continued to use the little travel sized bottles you can find at places like Target. Something about the miniature version of the product I already liked struck me as both adorable and practical.

Never the less, I am giving these new types of containers a chance because I like their small and organized nature.

Let’s take a look at our options

What I like about the Cadence Travel Containers

As opposed to the cute little travel sized containers I know and love, these babies seem very durable. No more worry about them getting squished and squeezed open in the bag. Even if it is a foldable leak proof travel bag like the ones I wrote about here.

The labels are interchangeable. For those of us who are attempting, even poorly, to cut down on our waste, these make a great addition to items in the household. Basically, I don’t have to buy a bunch of tiny plastic containers. I can use what I already have and refill these when needed. They rinse out fairly easily too.

They come in a few different sizes, but all travel approved. From their product description page I found this:

CADENCE NOW LIVE ON AMAZON: The perfect travel containers to hold your daily essentials. Each capsule comes with a labeled interchangeable tile: shampoo, conditioner, body wash, moisturizer, cleanser, pill icon and one blank tile.

INNOVATIVE MAGNETIC DESIGN: Our travel capsules feature a magnetic design that connects each container vertically or horizontally. They include labels that seamlessly swap between

The Flex Small, The Flex Medium, and The Flex Large Capsules.

TSA-COMPLIANT & 100% LEAKPROOF: Rest easy while traveling with our modular travel capsules. They are not only TSA-compliant but also 100% leakproof, ensuring your liquids and essentials stay securely contained.

EASY TO FILL & USE: Designed with wide openings, our eco friendly carry on travel containers ensure the hassle-free transfer of any liquids while also making sure you can reach every last drop.

INTENTIONAL DESIGN: Every aspect of our leak proof travel containers, from the choice of materials to the magnet strength, has been meticulously considered. Experience the result of 207 prototypes, 4 patents, and years of dedication to perfection

The only “downside”? Well, these are a bit pricey. We like to travel on a budget, so investments like this can be a difficult sale. I am thinking the fact I don’t have to keep buying tiny bottles of everything will probably make up for the upfront cost eventually.

What else can I choose?

So, my fashion-forward daughter would cringe at this next selection, but we like options right?

Check out these refillable silicone containers for travel

First off. Super affordable at less than ten dollars. Second, I like that they are so flexible. You can fill them with your shampoos, conditioners, lotions, etc., and easily squeeze it all out. The lids seem fairly secure, so I hope there are no leaking issues.

If I wanted to get new containers right now for the whole family, I would be looking at an option like this. No offense to Cadence Travel Containers at all. It is strictly a budget move.

Now, if I wanted to invest for multiple trips (we we WILL be taking soon) I think I would give Cadence Travel Containers a try. That is why I ordered the first set to experiment with, but not sure if more will be purchased yet.

Let me know if you have used these containers and what you thought of them!
