Liquids containers that do not leak?

[Deleted]

Can anyone recommend containers for liquids that won't leak during flights?  Mine tend to leak all over I think because the pressure gets to them.  I could use at least 2 bottles and 2 jars, all under 3 oz, for what it's worth, and these will be for thin liquids.

Thanks!

GoToobs won't leak.

Especially if you squeeze out extra air so they have room to expand in flight.

For jars I usually use screw top contact lens cases. Actual liquid might leak a little, but creams will stay put in them.

I need something waaaay bigger than that.

I was also going to recommend GoToobs. I haven't had one leak yet. However, I'm not a huge fan of the suction cups. The idea is fantastic, especially if you tend to stay at places that have small or communal bathrooms where there are no shelves in the shower. But mine never stay attached well enough to last more than just a few minutes.

Another rec for GoToobs. I don't use jars, so no good recs for those.

I got mine from Duane Reade years ago. They've been all over the world checked and overhead and haven't spilled yet. It was a set of four different colored three-ounce bottles that both screw off and have a pop-up squeeze spout so they're also versatile based on the contents.

We use the GoToobs. I had one leak the very first time I used them because I didn't use the lid properly, so I always make sure now that the lid is on and their is no room between the lid and body of it, and I've had no problems since.

It looks like human gear (brand that makes GoToobs) makes GoTubbs also that look interesting.

There are reviews on Amazon. One said that some thinner liquids/gels leaked, but creams were okay.

IKEA had some screw top containers that I randomly picked up one day and they are fantastic.

GoTubbs aren't intended to be used for liquids, so it's not surprising there are reviews saying they've leaked.

From the HumanGear website:

Fluids? GoTubbs are water-resistant, not water-proof. They are not designed for use with fluids (that's what GoToobs are for!).

Glad you had more sense than me. I was kind of excited about them, but not if they don't work with fluids at all.

I was super excited, until I saw that. I use cosmetic pots for my expensive face cream so that I get every last drop back out of it. Unfortunately they leak and I end up cracking them from over-tightening, so I'm in the market for a better option.

I'm interested to try the 1-oz Nalgene leakproof jar from the Container Store. Maybe next time I visit the US I'll pick up a few.
