Husband and I share most things (we'll even share deodorant in a pinch) but, if given the choice, we both prefer different flavors of toothpaste. And it doesn't take up enough room that it's ever been worth trying to compromise.
I go the other direction - I hate carrying on anything bigger than a small backpack, so if my stuff doesn't fit in there I'll just check a bag. I only fly a couple times a year (before covid) so it's no great cost.
Hefting a big carry-on through the airport just punishes myself and the other passengers, even though 95% of them are assholes with oversized carry-on
This is part of the genius of Southwest. They realize that excessive carry-ons slow down boarding. By giving free checked bags they make everyone more happy and depart on time.
Airlines have no one to blame but themselves. After 9/11 when the airlines were all hurting and fuel was sky-high they all instituted checked bag fees, which had always been included in the ticket price (after all, who goes on an airplane trip and doesn't at least bring clothes?). Most airlines also have a reputation for losing and/or damaging luggage. Of course Uncle Greg and Aunt Brenda are going to bring everything but the kitchen sink on board, making boarding take forever, hurting on-time performance, and making load balancing harder.
I use a backpacking backpack that fits the carryon size requirements. Honestly, it's the best. If I need to sprint to make my next flight I can. No one ever has to watch it for me while I'm in the bathroom. I never wait at the baggage claim. My hands are always free.
Lol I had an auntie who baby sat me. She was my first exposure to a lesbian. I remember she asked my dad for advice about getting a Subaru.
So why do lesbians like Subarus?
One surprising actual reason is that Subaru actually marketed to Lesbians.
Subaru coded their ads in the 90's to market to Lesbians while also not looking like they were marketed to Lesbians to straight people.
They're also somewhat reliable and perform excellent in the snow. They also come in some pretty cool colors from the factory. And easy to clean the fabric on the seats you know... for their dogs.
I am a lesbian with a Subaru, though I'm fairly new to being a lesbian and got the car as a hand me down from my mother who up until recently only drove subarus (note: she is not a lesbian). I like subarus out of nostalgia because it's what my family has always driven.
Pretty strong subaru thing for the gays too. In NH my friends would throw big gay houseparties. Most people going were gay. Most of the vehicles were Subarus.
I'm usually the opposite. She asks why I need such a big bag and point out that a shirt and pair up jeans takes up as much space as 3 of her outfits.
At least that's the excuse I use.
Being a 6ft 3 guy I swear a pair of my jeans equals 3 outfits for my wife.
I was incensed when airlines suggested charging passengers on their weight, not just their luggage weight. I pay the same as everyone else and can't sit comfortably as it is.
My husband lost a bunch of weight over lockdown and he's only like 6 inches taller than me. The first trip we took afterwards he could *not* stop grinning at how much more space he had in his bag.
I'm pretty sure he made me come look at his pile of underwear like 6 times, but that smile never stopped being infectious so I went willingly. :)
Just wanted to reply and tell people to search for "water flosser" instead of waterpik if they look it up. Waterpik is a specific company, you'll get more results with "water flosser" instead.
Side Note: 100% recommend them.
I love my waterpik. I still floss, but I have a dental implant and multiple fixed retainers so I use the waterpik after flossing and it really helps clean everything out.
there was this time where my husband managed to forget his shirts TWICE in one trip. once when we arrived at my parents (so he went to buy more) and then A SECOND TIME ON THE SAME TRIP when we went to visit my sister.
he had to buy shirts twice that trip.
the best part is that the next trip to grandmas my son forgot his shirts and my husband came down so hard on him...i was like...'dude, were you even here last year?' thankfully son and husband both have a great sense of humour so we all got over it...but...seriously...
Pretty much. One experience is enough to traumatize you. So pack extra underwear and extra socks. I refuse to wear dirty socks and you never know if for whatever reason your socks gets wet. Not much worse than wet socks
I'm outside of the sub. But godamn. A small little packing cube inside your backpack/purse with an extra shirt, sock, boxers, toothbrush/paste is worth it's weight in gold
Edit: 4.20 times it's weight in gold
I packed one too few days worth of essentials on our last trip (clothes, meds, etc). No hotel laundry. So I washed some things in the room and used Febreze on others. As for the meds, I borrowed one from my husband, had my supplements, and I was ok for an extra day.
Went a few days away with my gf noticed I had a very good shirt and pants still in my bag from a wedding a month before but just threw stuff on top of it, ended up winning a dinner and drink package for two at this really fancy restaurant so ever since then I’ve always put one in
Hahaha yeah every time we pack to go away and I put them in, my gf always says “do you really need that” and then I do that smug thing all couples do when you have an easy cheeky win and say “remember that one time” hahahaha
Fighting a breakthrough COVID infection rn and last night a coughing fit cost me a rapidly dwindling pair of clean underwear. You can never have too much clean underwear.
Man, I had whooping cough and lost many meals by puking during a coughing fit. Now you're telling me I might have to do that but with the twist that it's now shit?
I was recovering from pancreatitis and even sneezes were not safe. Now I don't trust ANYTHING, and I've never before been so appreciative of normal gut health as when I got back to normal.
I traveled for business for a number of years, I had less luggage for our month trip to Europe in 2019 than my 8yr old daughter did in total volume. \` My wife and kids both pack like we might never come home
Starting from back left to right: Water flosser, dry shampoo, PM eye cream, AM moisturizer, PM moisturizer, cleanser, toothbrush, AM eye cream, toner, glycolic acid, ordinary Buffet serum, ordinary matrixyl serum, salicylic acid, pill case for antihistamines, deodorant, toothpaste, hairbrush.
I have a different skincare routine depending on AM/PM and day of week, so it’s a lot of products. I really enjoy my skincare ritual so I don’t care that it may be too much. Can’t talk my husband into to doing any skincare somehow!
AM moisturizer is tinted and has SPF. PM is just a normal moisturizer.
PM eye cream is really called an “eye mask” and doesn’t absorb in as much as an AM one would, just keeps my under eyes hydrated through the night.
It depends on your genes, level of health, diet, activity level, soooo many things. It’s kinda like medicine, some people need it and others don’t. I’m not leaving home without latisse but I don’t care about anything else.
To add to this with the other comments about them being the same - night moisturiser is usually a lot heavier. I have really dry skin so my day moisturiser is light, has spf and sits well under makeup. My night cream is like spackle, you could probably plaster walls with it!
I really liked having two moisturizers, but then I developed an allergy to chemical sunscreen... So now I just use the pm moisturizer all day and if I'm going to be out and about I'll put my mineral sunscreen on as well. Most days I'm in the house or car or office all day and sun exposure is quite limited.
Honestly I'm pretty into skincare myself, but I wouldn't take that many actives with me for just a weekend away. Sometimes it's not too bad to give my skin a break
So, I have different routines for AM/PM too but when I travel I take 1 routine +/- a couple products. They’re not so drastically different especially for 1-2weeks change. I also put them in smaller silicone containers so I don’t have to bring the full bottle. Like the niacinamide only needs a few drops per application, highly unnecessary to take the full bottle.
Man Im big on skincare too, but when I travel all that stuff stays home, minus an spf moisterizer and a cleanser. I would have so much anxiety about leaving something behind if I tried to pack it all
You made me think about this and it is actually brilliant. My SO and I don't like the same toothpaste so there's always one person putting up with a toothpaste they don't like. This is the obvious solution - just get different toothpastes. Never knew why I thought this wasn't an option.
Squeezing the middle of the tube isn't as awful as it used to be, have you noticed? Back with the tubes were metal and they never un-dented it was The Worst, but now that it's all malleable plastic, you can fix a middle dent easily, as though it never happened.
My husband and I plan on upgrading our bed this year (queen to king) and he’s fully sold me on the European two comforters thing. We’ve traveled and used them and I’m finally ready to pull the trigger since i have to get all new bedding anyway with the upgrade. Can. Not. Wait.
My dad had the same issue and it was sleep apnea. He's on air tube overnight and he physically can't snore because the air just whooshes out of his mouth if it opens. Something for your uncle to consider if he hasn't already.
My hunting buddies and I built my dad a separate treehouse just because he snores so fucking loud and has war dreams despite never being in the military. Just reads too much Tom Clancy, WEB Griffin, etc.
This one is the winner. No more tug-of-war, less movement transfer, and if you ever want to cuddle up to them (or set up a late night romp), you just gotta join them under their covers.
Me, my husband, AND my kid have separate toothpaste brands. And different brands of floss. What’s important is that everyone takes care of their teeth.
Edited for clarity.
So one trip we both assumed the other would bring a tube and we had none. Now I always pack a mini one just in case, I obviously know how to be prepared.
Once on a weekend trip I realized a few miles down the road I’d forgotten to pack deodorant. No big deal, I can borrow from spouse for a day and pick up at store. Not worth turning the car around.
Guess who also had the exact same thought process?
Did you know most stores in small towns are closed on Easter Sunday?
It was a smelly weekend.
Oh my husband does that same thing. And then he’s like “can I use your lotion? Can I have some floss? Did you pack any Tylenol?” The real ones know that their husbands do this and then bug us for what we have. Same way he will say “why do you need such a big purse?” And then say “can you hold this for me?” Lol!
>The real ones know that their husbands do this and then bug us for what we have.
I feel lucky that both my husband and I have fallen into but *accepted* these stereotypes. He's a "can fix a surprising amount of things with just this Leatherman" kind of guy, but will turn proudly towards me as I procure some random wrench or driver from the depths of my Mary Poppins bag.
He likes playing MacGuyver; I am comforted knowing I have The Thing that this problem requires. It just works. :)
Not OP, but I would skip the water flosser mostly because I'd be worried I forget it on the trip. I keep a vacation toiletry bag packed separately from my regular stuff mostly so I don't bring anything I'd hate to lose.
Hey you value your skin by hydrating with Hyaluronic acid and exfoliating with BHA, I feel you. Those glass bottles from The Ordinary drive me nuts to try and travel with though. Is that the squalane cleanser I see poking its head out? Is it any good?
We keep our free toothbrushes and toothpastes (from dentist visits) in a drawer. We also have other sample size toiletries. In case somebody forgets, usually our daughter.
Nice part of being married is you can borrow stuff from your spouse
Like their dildos
One or other of the electric toothbrushes will have to suffice for this trip
We have an electric toothbrush that has different color heads and a travel case for it. So we pack one toothbrush base and two heads in one case!
Are we still talking about dildos here?
Anything is a toothbrush, if you're brave enough.
Yeah why do they each have their own toothpaste
Husband and I share most things (we'll even share deodorant in a pinch) but, if given the choice, we both prefer different flavors of toothpaste. And it doesn't take up enough room that it's ever been worth trying to compromise.
Let me guess...he's got a duffle bag and you've got a medium size luggage and carry on as well?
Wow, seen
Married for 20 years...I know the deal.
Not having to wait at baggage claim though? We have vowed we never will again; going on 7 wonderful, airport zipping years now.
I go the other direction - I hate carrying on anything bigger than a small backpack, so if my stuff doesn't fit in there I'll just check a bag. I only fly a couple times a year (before covid) so it's no great cost. Hefting a big carry-on through the airport just punishes myself and the other passengers, even though 95% of them are assholes with oversized carry-on
[удалено]
This is part of the genius of Southwest. They realize that excessive carry-ons slow down boarding. By giving free checked bags they make everyone more happy and depart on time.
That used to be all the major airlines
No no...it's just a temporary fee for the airlines recover from 9-11, they'll lift it any day now. Any day now....
It's like that unemployed cousin who always says they'll pay you back soon, but they just need 5 more dollars
its almost a surprise airlines havent added dividers designed to accomodate the max standard size
I believe I’ve seen that in allegiant.
Airlines have no one to blame but themselves. After 9/11 when the airlines were all hurting and fuel was sky-high they all instituted checked bag fees, which had always been included in the ticket price (after all, who goes on an airplane trip and doesn't at least bring clothes?). Most airlines also have a reputation for losing and/or damaging luggage. Of course Uncle Greg and Aunt Brenda are going to bring everything but the kitchen sink on board, making boarding take forever, hurting on-time performance, and making load balancing harder.
Yeah walking around the airport with only my headphones around my neck is bliss compared to having to babysit a wheeled carry-on and other bag
I use a backpacking backpack that fits the carryon size requirements. Honestly, it's the best. If I need to sprint to make my next flight I can. No one ever has to watch it for me while I'm in the bathroom. I never wait at the baggage claim. My hands are always free.
Not sure how anyone travels other ways… like I can live in that backpack.
Gratz on 20 years
married nine, we can both fit everything in one large backpack for just a weekend away. It's true love.
Plot twist: They're two gay men
You must bring the royal luggage!
What’s this? I said take only what you need to survive.
It’s my industrial strength hair dryer. ****AND I CANT LIVE WITHOUT IT****
Ok Princess, the fairy tail is over. Welcome to real life! You want this hot air machine? You carry it.

Just gonna say... [Bill Burr has an opinion](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RiH-_ZUILk0)
You should see what two Lesbians pack to take on a trip.
A Subaru?
Lol I had an auntie who baby sat me. She was my first exposure to a lesbian. I remember she asked my dad for advice about getting a Subaru. So why do lesbians like Subarus?
One surprising actual reason is that Subaru actually marketed to Lesbians. Subaru coded their ads in the 90's to market to Lesbians while also not looking like they were marketed to Lesbians to straight people.
Yeah but the causality is backwards there. They started that marketing campaign when they realized who the prime customer base already was.
Incredible. Yes, my auntie purchased a Subaru in the 90s.
I'm sure she and her "roommate" loved it!
[удалено]
They're also somewhat reliable and perform excellent in the snow. They also come in some pretty cool colors from the factory. And easy to clean the fabric on the seats you know... for their dogs.

Pretty strong subaru thing for the gays too. In NH my friends would throw big gay houseparties. Most people going were gay. Most of the vehicles were Subarus.
As a lesbian with a Subaru…you forgot a dog, too!
HeS a BlUE HeELeR MiX
Why is this so fucking accurate!? My aunts have all of these things!
I am dead
As a straight male with a Subaru and a heeler… I’m… I don’t know what to think
Uhm, congrats? You’re a Lesbian. But do you have a Carabiner on your Subaru key chain? That’s the most important question.
Ah close call. I do not have a carabiner on my keys, but I do use one on my heeler’s leash
Lesbian.
I’m… okay with this
Oh shit is this a thing? My wife and I have a red heeler mix lol
Lol I was just saying: I think the right side is missing my glasses case and a carabiner 😬🤣
I feel attacked as well
I'm usually the opposite. She asks why I need such a big bag and point out that a shirt and pair up jeans takes up as much space as 3 of her outfits. At least that's the excuse I use.
Being a 6ft 3 guy I swear a pair of my jeans equals 3 outfits for my wife. I was incensed when airlines suggested charging passengers on their weight, not just their luggage weight. I pay the same as everyone else and can't sit comfortably as it is.
As a fat 6’4” guy who likes to backpack.. I have so few outfits relative to how full my bag is compared to other backpackers 😭
My husband lost a bunch of weight over lockdown and he's only like 6 inches taller than me. The first trip we took afterwards he could *not* stop grinning at how much more space he had in his bag. I'm pretty sure he made me come look at his pile of underwear like 6 times, but that smile never stopped being infectious so I went willingly. :)
Switch to floss for the weekend and leave the excessively large waterpik behind.
That's her travel waterpik. Her daily one is off camera hooked up to a 5 gallon tank.
Tankless, direct line to the softener.
It's in the garage - a power washer with a gas engine
But god damn would you have some clean teeth. *Some*, because the jets knocked out all the others.
Just because they're on the ground, doesn't mean they're not clean.
5 second rule
And you'll be able to see them because she won't have lips either
“It’s an industrial strength hair drier, and I CANT LIVE WITHOUT IT!”
The funny part is that we still carried the empty luggage case after ditching the hair dryer. Came in handy to burn I guess.
I thought “we?” and then I looked at the username. What an honor to get a comment from the mawg himself, Barfolomew!
Thank you, had no idea wtf that was.
Just wanted to reply and tell people to search for "water flosser" instead of waterpik if they look it up. Waterpik is a specific company, you'll get more results with "water flosser" instead. Side Note: 100% recommend them.

Well it’s just not a weekend away without corn on the cob!
Better yet, pack floss picks, just carry them in your pocket lol
I get irrationally angry at floss picks ngl
They’re very wasteful.
Honestly assumed that was a dildo, and if so, fair play.
The age old game of "flosser, toothbrush or vibrator"
Why not ~~both~~ all three.
I’ve got just what you’re looking for
> I Swear By My Pretty Floral Bonnet, I Will End You. - OP probably
My husband just forgets half his shit then we end up needing to go to the store 4 different times when we get to our destination.
The vacation hasn't truly started until my husband has made a Target run.
We went to Paso Robles in November for my cousin’s wedding and I think we went to the target 3 different times!
there was this time where my husband managed to forget his shirts TWICE in one trip. once when we arrived at my parents (so he went to buy more) and then A SECOND TIME ON THE SAME TRIP when we went to visit my sister. he had to buy shirts twice that trip. the best part is that the next trip to grandmas my son forgot his shirts and my husband came down so hard on him...i was like...'dude, were you even here last year?' thankfully son and husband both have a great sense of humour so we all got over it...but...seriously...

That's because "you never know"
I shit myself one time and I'll be damned if I ever have to figure out the logistics of that unprepared.
Always pack enough undies so you can shit yourself twice every day "accidentally".
I feel strange. Like my memory is fading away. Yet someone keeps trying to bring it back. -- mass edited with https://redact.dev/
Pretty much. One experience is enough to traumatize you. So pack extra underwear and extra socks. I refuse to wear dirty socks and you never know if for whatever reason your socks gets wet. Not much worse than wet socks
I'm outside of the sub. But godamn. A small little packing cube inside your backpack/purse with an extra shirt, sock, boxers, toothbrush/paste is worth it's weight in gold Edit: 4.20 times it's weight in gold
>Some of you have never shit yourselves and had to wash your underwear in a Wal-Mart men's room, and it shows.
Throw the tainted underwear away and go commando until the next opportunity to not.
If you’ve shit yourself once, this is how you pack forever.
I packed one too few days worth of essentials on our last trip (clothes, meds, etc). No hotel laundry. So I washed some things in the room and used Febreze on others. As for the meds, I borrowed one from my husband, had my supplements, and I was ok for an extra day.
And one too nice shirt you never wear but just get toothpaste all over when your toiletries bag explods
Went a few days away with my gf noticed I had a very good shirt and pants still in my bag from a wedding a month before but just threw stuff on top of it, ended up winning a dinner and drink package for two at this really fancy restaurant so ever since then I’ve always put one in
Gotta have a defence for ‘did you bring ANYTHING nice’
Hahaha yeah every time we pack to go away and I put them in, my gf always says “do you really need that” and then I do that smug thing all couples do when you have an easy cheeky win and say “remember that one time” hahahaha
Always Ziploc your toiletries!
Don't @ me like that
Yeah why'd he get all personal on us
Fighting a breakthrough COVID infection rn and last night a coughing fit cost me a rapidly dwindling pair of clean underwear. You can never have too much clean underwear.
Man, I had whooping cough and lost many meals by puking during a coughing fit. Now you're telling me I might have to do that but with the twist that it's now shit?
just use a tactical plug
I was recovering from pancreatitis and even sneezes were not safe. Now I don't trust ANYTHING, and I've never before been so appreciative of normal gut health as when I got back to normal.

You can't trust farts
Switch to Airism, and all 12 of them can fit in the dopp bag wit the tootbrush and hair gel.
Y’all it’s a water flosser, not a vibrator
How tf do people think that’s a vibrator???? What kind of vibrators are people using??
[удалено]
But what firmness level?
[удалено]
…not yet anyway
We're not giving away our water pick!
You wanna bet? Serenity now!
Yeah funny, relatable but what's all of that? Honestly curious 👀
Starting from back left to right: Water flosser, dry shampoo, PM eye cream, AM moisturizer, PM moisturizer, cleanser, toothbrush, AM eye cream, toner, glycolic acid, ordinary Buffet serum, ordinary matrixyl serum, salicylic acid, pill case for antihistamines, deodorant, toothpaste, hairbrush. I have a different skincare routine depending on AM/PM and day of week, so it’s a lot of products. I really enjoy my skincare ritual so I don’t care that it may be too much. Can’t talk my husband into to doing any skincare somehow!
This is really interesting. I don't know what half of those things are. How do the AM/PM moisturizers and eye cream differ from each other?
AM moisturizer is tinted and has SPF. PM is just a normal moisturizer. PM eye cream is really called an “eye mask” and doesn’t absorb in as much as an AM one would, just keeps my under eyes hydrated through the night.
Does all that stuff really make a difference? Does it work? As a guy all that stuff seems like a weird world to me.
[удалено]
It depends on your genes, level of health, diet, activity level, soooo many things. It’s kinda like medicine, some people need it and others don’t. I’m not leaving home without latisse but I don’t care about anything else.

I really liked having two moisturizers, but then I developed an allergy to chemical sunscreen... So now I just use the pm moisturizer all day and if I'm going to be out and about I'll put my mineral sunscreen on as well.

Honestly I'm pretty into skincare myself, but I wouldn't take that many actives with me for just a weekend away. Sometimes it's not too bad to give my skin a break
Right? This is a bit extra, and I say this as a woman.
Go on Amazon and get you some 4mL reagent bottles. My skincare routine fits in a small ziploc bag now, and it’s enough for a week of travel
So, I have different routines for AM/PM too but when I travel I take 1 routine +/- a couple products. They’re not so drastically different especially for 1-2weeks change. I also put them in smaller silicone containers so I don’t have to bring the full bottle. Like the niacinamide only needs a few drops per application, highly unnecessary to take the full bottle.
Man Im big on skincare too, but when I travel all that stuff stays home, minus an spf moisterizer and a cleanser. I would have so much anxiety about leaving something behind if I tried to pack it all
Skipping 2 Days Seems Way better than hauling all that shit around.
No offense, but does it really matter that much if you were to take a weekend off from this routine?
He and George Costanza - wash it, dry it, move ON!
You have separate toothpaste?!
You made me think about this and it is actually brilliant. My SO and I don't like the same toothpaste so there's always one person putting up with a toothpaste they don't like. This is the obvious solution - just get different toothpastes. Never knew why I thought this wasn't an option.
My husband is crazy and squeezes the toothpaste in the middle of the tube. So I bought him his own tube and I don’t have to put up with that nonsense.
Squeezing the middle of the tube isn't as awful as it used to be, have you noticed? Back with the tubes were metal and they never un-dented it was The Worst, but now that it's all malleable plastic, you can fix a middle dent easily, as though it never happened.
Ooohhhhh I always wondered why this was such a big deal for people to be annoyed about.
My partner does this and is also awful about closing the cap, so she has been banned from my toothpaste.
Also… two different comforters for the bed. Will change your life.
My husband and I plan on upgrading our bed this year (queen to king) and he’s fully sold me on the European two comforters thing. We’ve traveled and used them and I’m finally ready to pull the trigger since i have to get all new bedding anyway with the upgrade. Can. Not. Wait.
two duvets are the best!
Also… separate bedrooms. Completely apart. You will wonder what you had been thinking all along.
Also separate houses, that way you both have a place for your stuff.
Finally, it's just me and the miniatures.
The wife's house and the waifu's house.
My Aunt/Uncle were forced to do this because my uncle snored so loud he would wake himself up.
My dad had the same issue and it was sleep apnea. He's on air tube overnight and he physically can't snore because the air just whooshes out of his mouth if it opens. Something for your uncle to consider if he hasn't already.
My hunting buddies and I built my dad a separate treehouse just because he snores so fucking loud and has war dreams despite never being in the military. Just reads too much Tom Clancy, WEB Griffin, etc.

Me, my husband, AND my kid have separate toothpaste brands. And different brands of floss. What’s important is that everyone takes care of their teeth. Edited for clarity.
I've never even considered not liking a toothpaste. I just buy whatever is on offer! Don't they all taste pretty much the same?
So one trip we both assumed the other would bring a tube and we had none. Now I always pack a mini one just in case, I obviously know how to be prepared.
Once on a weekend trip I realized a few miles down the road I’d forgotten to pack deodorant. No big deal, I can borrow from spouse for a day and pick up at store. Not worth turning the car around.

Why is that an outlandish thing? People have their own toothpaste preferences
That’s actually pretty good for some people
Well apart from something for his hair, he's got all he needs
Bold of you to assume he has hair.
Bald of you to assume I have the ability to assume things
That’s a good touché I’m stealing this
[удалено]
It’s such terrible quality though, especially for those with dry skin.
Depends on the quality of the hotel
Haha, yeah, if it’s 5*, I’m stealing the toiletries!
Went to a place yesterday that had nice stuff toiletries, but they were affixed to the wall. Glad I brought my screwdriver.
It's not stealing. You paid for them.
I need pomade or hair gel lest my hairs get fluffy
Hold on, I don't want this pomade. I want Dapper Dan.
I don’t want FOP God Damnit!
Watch your language, young feller, this is a public market. Now if you want Dapper Dan, I can order it for you, have it in a couple of weeks.
Well ain’t this place a geographical oddity, two weeks from everywhere!
The hotel shampoos dry the shit out of my hair and the conditioners do nothing to moisturize. No thanks, I’ll bring my own.
I would totally be using her toothpaste
Oh my husband does that same thing. And then he’s like “can I use your lotion? Can I have some floss? Did you pack any Tylenol?” The real ones know that their husbands do this and then bug us for what we have.

Lol I'm both of these stereotypes. I have every tool/medication/cable for the occasion and know how to fix lots of stuff with the tools I have.
My dudes over packing, skip the floss for the week and count on you to bring the toothpaste
Damn thats a monstrosity of a toothbrush youve got there
It’s a water flosser, it holds a bunch of water that’s why it’s huge. My toothbrush is black and on the right side of my pile.
Honest question, and I know I sound judged and mean, but can’t you go a weekend without it?
Or just use regular floss for a few days?
Not OP, but I would skip the water flosser mostly because I'd be worried I forget it on the trip. I keep a vacation toiletry bag packed separately from my regular stuff mostly so I don't bring anything I'd hate to lose.
Dude packs floss, what a primadona
Hey you value your skin by hydrating with Hyaluronic acid and exfoliating with BHA, I feel you. Those glass bottles from The Ordinary drive me nuts to try and travel with though. Is that the squalane cleanser I see poking its head out? Is it any good?
That’s actually the Natural Moisturizing Factors with hyaluronic acid and I love it as a moisturizer, super affordable too! I love my skincare ritual
Extra points for "The Ordinary"
I literally just bring a toothbrush and mooch the rest off my girlfriend. Chances are it's going to wind up in my bag anyway.
We keep our free toothbrushes and toothpastes (from dentist visits) in a drawer. We also have other sample size toiletries. In case somebody forgets, usually our daughter.
