    25 Products Reviewers Say You "Need" For Your Next Trip

    From a portable lock box to a better neck pillow, these are the travel product upgrades you've been searching for.

    1. A travel wallet made with an RFID-blocking material to protect your ID and passport and keep them easily accessible. It's also just so cute!!

    2. An AirFly wireless transmitter you can use to connect your Bluetooth headphones (i.e. AirPods) to the headphone jack on a flight so you can FINALLY binge all those free movies without having to use those terrible airline headphones.

    3. And a SkyClip if you prefer your own mode of entertainment on flights. It's designed to hold any sized phone or tablet and simply attaches to the seat in front of you!

    4. A portable combination lock box so you can leave your stuff behind and swim in peace knowing your keys, wallet, and phone are safe and secure. Just loop it around a beach chair, umbrella, or your cooler!

    5. A Trtl neck pillow specifically designed to keep your noggin in an upright, comfortable position while on long flights or car rides. Reviewers swear it works WAY better than those ones that look like giant donuts.

    6. A travel pouch that can be attached to your bra to keep all of your essentials safe without fear of being pickpocketed. Think spare cash, hotel keys, ID/passport...all important things you wouldn't want to lose!

    7. A pack of biodegradable hypoallergenic wipes, because everyone needs a quick refresh after a long flight or road trip. These'll do the trick.

    8. A LifeStraw that'll come to the rescue in emergency situations when you're exploring the outdoors. It's effective at removing everything from waterborne bacteria and parasites to micro-plastics — so you can sip from the stream without worry.

    9. A portable door lock to help you feel extra secure in your hotel or Airbnb — it lets out a super obnoxious alarm sound when triggered!

    10. A foot hammock that'll have you feelin' like you're "flying first class, up in the sky, poppin' champagne, livin' my life" even though you're in the back of the plane next to the bathroom.

    11. A TSA-approved toiletry bag with plenty of storage for all your necessities to make your life (and TSA's) much easier.

    12. A digital luggage scale so you won't have any surprises when you go to check your bags!! It's okay, we've all been there. Lol.

    13. A heat-resistant silicone mat and pouch, because we all know the dilemma of using our hot hair tools and then having to shove them in our suitcase because we're running late. Just wrap this around the edges and you'll be good to go (and not have to worry that your clothes will catch on fire from your curling iron!).

    14. A set of packing cubes that'll not only help you keep your clothing organized on your trip, but also helps you fit more in your suitcase! They're also helpful for keeping your dirty clothes separate from your clean ones.

    15. A contoured sleep mask, because there's nothing worse than being jet-lagged and exhausted after a long trip only for your room to be flooded with sunlight at the crack of dawn.

    16. A USB-chargeable fan that'll likely be a lifesaver while you're out adventuring in hot, tropical locales.

    17. A hands-free luggage drink caddy, because how on EARTH are you supposed to juggle holding your phone, your Starbucks, and your luggage all at once?? It's impossible — so thank goodness for this genius invention.

    18. An anti-blister balm that'll easily glide over your most vulnerable areas to prevent rubbing and friction — whether you're hiking up a mountain or strutting through a new city.

    19. A portable charger that you can use to recharge your phone and Kindle up to five times while on-the-go. I'm not sure how our parents lived without cellphones, but we don't ever need to know what that was like! Especially when traveling somewhere new!!

    20. A mini white-noise machine, because the people in the next room over from you are having a jolly ole time, but you are TIRED AF and just want to sleep. This'll drown out the ruckus.

    21. A pack of in-flight earplugs that'll help prevent discomfort and popping from air pressure. They'll also help with the screaming babies behind you, too.

    22. A nylon anti-theft waterproof backpack that's cleverly designed to open from the back so your belongings are extra secure. It's spacious enough to fit a laptop, notebook, and some other small essentials.

    23. A sleek folding light-up travel mirror because you DESERVE a full beat on vacation (only if you want, of course), and the lighting in your hotel is just not going to cut it.

    24. And a drawstring makeup organizer you can lay flat and easily see all of your products (without having to messily dump them all out on the vanity). When you're done, just cinch it back up!!

    25. A multipurpose car seat storage bag that'll keep your vehicle looking spick and span as you caravan across the country. It holds just about everything you'd need it to, from trash to beverages to tissues and more.
