YUDIVA for Travel

Packing toiletries is a space problem disguised as a size problem. Everyone knows about the 3.4 oz rule. Fewer people notice that the quart bag fills up by item, not by volume — and that is what forces the hard choices at the end of packing.

Every YUDIVA bottle is 3.3 fl oz and holds two products. Same routine, half the bag slots.

A weekend away

You are gone Friday to Sunday. Conventionally that is shampoo, conditioner, body wash and lotion — four bottles, four slots, and you have not packed toothpaste yet.

With one shea butter set and one cherry blossom set, that is two bottles. The quart bag closes with room for sunscreen.

Two weeks, one carry-on

The instinct on a longer trip is to size up. Resist it — anything over 3.4 oz means checking a bag, and checking a bag to transport shampoo is a poor trade.

A 3.3 oz bottle comfortably covers two weeks for most hair lengths. The Ultimate Travel Kit at $16.99 gives you four products in two bottles, in a waterproof bag, and still leaves half the quart bag free.

Travelling as a couple

Two people rarely want the same products. One wants shea butter, the other wants the men's shampoo and body wash. Conventionally that is six bottles between you.

Three YUDIVA bottles cover the same six products — add the men's set to the Ultimate Travel Kit and you are done, still under one quart bag between you.

Why not just decant?

You can. It costs you an evening of washing and filling little bottles, a label-maker session if you are organised, and the ongoing risk that the cheap refillable is the thing that empties itself into your suitcase. Refillables are the most common source of packing leaks, because thin plastic and screw caps do not cope well with cabin pressure.

Our bottles are rigid with a click-shut flip cap on each end. Nothing to prepare, nothing to label.
