str: "temp" marker to write on travel containers?

[cransplash]

I have a lot of travel-sized bottles (for shampoo, lotion, face wash, etc)- I put some in my shower cosmetic bag for the gym, for traveling, and for when (let's say...) my lotion is running out so I switch out the big bottle and put it into a smaller sized travel bottle.

Since my DH does the same thing, we have all these bottles and if they get mixed up, we really don't know what is what.

Are there any "temporary" markers out there that we can write on plastic but won't be permanent? I am iffy to use a Sharpie- part of m says that with good soap and scrubbing, it'll rinse off (which would b perfect for my purposes) but don't want it to be permanent.

Any other ideas?

eta: These bottles are from Muji, and they are plastic.

What kind of bottles are they? I write on mine with sharpie an it rubs off on its own after a couple months. I've had to rewrite the labels a few times now.

They are travel bottles from Muji. Someone just gave me a great idea though- masking tape and then Sharpie!

I used masking tape and Sharpie for labels until I splurged and bought myself a label maker. I really like having the nice, neat little printed labels on my toiletry bottles!

Thats what I was just gonna suggest! No scrubbing, just peel off the tape whenever you want to change the label.

You can write directly on the bottle with a Sharpie and rub it off with a little bit of IPA (rubbing alcohol).

Wait, there's muji in america? I only saw it when living in japan. That place was great! Yeah, that's all I got from this thread.

If you don't have masking tape, scotch tape and sharpie will work the same.
