When packing for a flight, figuring out what you can and can’t bring can be confusing — especially when it comes to toiletries like deodorant. The short answer? Yes, you can bring deodorant on a plane, but the type and size make all the difference. Here’s what to know before you fly.
Is Deodorant Allowed on a Plane?
Yes, deodorant is allowed in both carry-on and checked bags, but the TSA rules vary depending on whether it’s a solid stick or a spray, gel, or roll-on.
- Stick, solid, powdered, and crystal deodorants can be packed in any size in your carry-on or checked bag.
- Spray, gel, liquid, cream, paste, and roll-on deodorants are considered liquids by TSA and must follow the 3-1-1 rule:
- Containers must be 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) or smaller.
- All liquids must fit into one clear quart-size zip-top bag.
- Each passenger is allowed one toiletry bag.
You can verify these rules directly on TSA.gov for the latest updates.
Can You Bring Spray Deodorant on a Plane?
Yes, but only in travel-size containers (3.4 ounces or less). Larger sprays must go in your checked luggage. Aerosols are allowed, but be sure the cap is secured to prevent accidental discharge during your trip.
If you prefer to skip the hassle of measuring and bagging, solid aluminum-free stick deodorant is the simplest choice. Raw Sugar’s collection meets TSA standards with no size restrictions, making it perfect for travel.
Is Deodorant a Liquid According to TSA?
Only spray, gel, cream, paste, and roll-on types are considered liquids by TSA. Solid deodorants, such as Raw Sugar’s clean formulas, are not classified as liquids, meaning you can pack them in your bag without worrying about ounce limits or plastic pouches.
For frequent travelers, solid deodorant saves time at security checkpoints and won’t leak or spill mid-flight.
Can You Pack Deodorant in a Checked Bag?
Absolutely. You can bring any deodorant type or size in your checked luggage. Just remember that sprays and aerosols should be capped securely. If you’re carrying a full-size spray or gel, placing it in checked baggage is the best option.
