Honestly, that feeling haunts me no matter if I go somewhere for a weekend or a month.

Promising review: "So helpful! I travel a lot, and so does my husband, and this pad makes packing so much easier and stress free. The list is quite extensive, while I probably will never need to pack all of it for one trip, it covers everything for a business trip or a pleasure trip. I don't worry about what I forgot to pack anymore. Use a pencil, erase it when done, and one sheet will last 3-4 trips." —Cktine

Promising review: "I have used it for years. EXCELLENT!!! It has made my travel so much easier, as I don’t have to worry about my phone battery any more. Thank you for making this excellent product! It is small and compatible." —Amazoni

Promising review: "We travel a lot, carry on back pack only style. I try to find ways to not over stuff my bag as I don’t like to check bags. With this collapsing bucket, my son is now able to take beach toys to the beach. Before we didn’t pack sand bucket because they took up too much space. These are perfect for travel." —Khrys Monet

Promising review: "This was just an experiment, but I'm glad I tried this! I've been trying to find ways to buy less plastic, and this eliminates shampoo bottles, and I figured it would be much easier for traveling than liquid shampoo. But I didn't expect to like it even better than my other shampoos. It also seems like it will last quite a while. I've been using it regularly, and the bar is almost the same size and when I bought it." —Melusine

Hackwith Design House is a woman-owned small business that creates made-to-order apparel. This shirt can be worn as a V-neck, off-the-shoulder, boatneck, V-back, and even open as a jacket. And the color is simple, which means it can be paired well with many different bottoms.

Promising review: "I’m being honest when I tell you this is the most 'worth-it' top around. I read a review from some frequent flyer who claims this is her go-to for flying. She said aside from the top’s flexibility – which allows much less packing as the top itself looks and behaves like four shirts and a jacket – it’s a savior on planes because it allows you to get into a usually overheated plane, and to weather the transition to iceberg, ho! that happens about twenty minutes into most flights, and it holds its shape and looks great. I was skeptical, as I do not have the money to blow on someone else’s opinion, but my husband told me to try it. I have the same issues with temps, and he’s probably self-protecting so as not to hear me complain so much. Long story short, I got it. It’s a gorgeous fabric despite my usually hating the ribbed thing. Not for my pleasure, thank you. But it’s nice. REALLY nice. Yes, it’s extraordinarily flexible, and yes, it’s like a jacket, and Yes, Virginia. There is a travel shirt Santa Claus. Ordering in the off-white now. Glad I read the article, and glad I bought the shirt. You should too." —Mary B.

Get it from Hackwith Design House for $145 (available in women's sizes XS–4X and in five colors).

BuzzFeed Shopping Editor Chelsea Stuart says: "I just bought this bag for a five-day cross-country road trip and it came in so clutch. First, I flew with it and was able to stow it under my seat so not only did I not have to check a bag, but I didn't even have to deal with overhead storage. Then, it traveled through 10+ states and various hotels with me. My absolute favorite parts of the bag are the compression straps and the fact that it fully unzips. This makes it *SO* easy to pack, unpack, and take through airport security. I was able to fit ~four pairs of leggings, four T-shirts, two sets of pajamas, two pairs of shorts, two bathing suits, a sweatshirt, a week's worth of undergarments, travel toiletries, an iPad, my wallet, and more odds and ends."

Get it from Béis for $78 (available in black and beige).

Promising review: "I don't normally have trouble with blisters or pain from my work shoes, but I travel regularly to Washington, DC, for work. I walk a lot while I'm there, including when it's hot and muggy in the summer, and any kind of shoe I've tried gives me blisters when I walk five miles a day with extremely sweaty feet and no socks. I thought my only options were to coat my feet in Band-Aids or bite the bullet and start wearing tights or socks in the heat, but then I found this stuff. I just got back from a week in DC in shoes that have given me blisters before, and my feet are completely fine. I did reapply in the evenings going out for dinner, but otherwise, just a few swipes on the problem spots and I was ready to go, with no painful rubbing. And, of course, the size is convenient for travel and to keep in my bag in case I do need to reapply." —L. Kelly

Promising review: "I love this! It's such a great price/bundle for someone who has to travel quite often for work like me. They’re so easy to clean and very compact — it makes it so easy to be on the go, but also be able to do my self-care routine wherever I am!" —Alexis P.

All it is is a hood attached to a vest you wear under *any* jacket to protect yourself (and your hair) from whatever the weather has planned.

Promising review: "I love this! The quality is very nice and it fits great. Wore it last week in the rain with a coat I love that doesn't have a hood and it was perfect. It slips right under your jacket so all you see is the hood, so it pretty much blends in with your jacket. Such a great idea! Wish there were more colors and patterns, I'd order more." —Jill Hammel

Get it from Amazon for $29 (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "I love it. It may take some initial time to get used to the odd structure and concept, but once you find your comfortable point with this pillow — its amazing. I typically do not like neck pillows, as they don't really support my face, and my neck hurts eventually. This pillow exactly supports your face weight, hence you can comfortably sleep without a sore and stressful neck. It made travel easier! It can be used in cars as well.." —Hitesh

The performance pack comes with one pro and one slim tracker.

Promising review: "I cannot stress how may times having these tiles have helped my family. I purchased a unit for my husband, and after just one demonstration, he was so sold. He tells and shows everyone. We’ve now given sets to two of our four kids, and they’re loving them as well. They work well. Traveling back from Florida this spring, I left my wallet at a restaurant in South Carolina. Two days later, I noticed it was missing. I located where it was exactly, contacted the restaurant, and had it back within two hours. Panic had set in but nothing had been taken. If I hadn’t had a tile, I would have never had any idea where it was. Now with the ability to change out batteries, great feature. You can’t go wrong!!" —C. Drysdale

Promising review: "This works great for my three little dogs while traveling, and saves my seats from having fur and dirt. When not using, I just fold it up and store it in the trunk. Putting it back in rear seat is super fast and easy." —Heather W.

Promising review: "This cup holder is perfect! It helps me a lot! Last time I took a plane with a suitcase and a cup of coffee, I dropped and spilled my drink everywhere when it was my turn to check my passport and ticket. It was a nightmare! This time, I bought this cup holder to do me a favor! I don't have to worry about where my cup and phone are! I can free my hands to do other things. I love it so much! Hope you love it too." —Philip

Plus, the bag is water-resistant and has two exterior zip pockets, two interior shoe pockets, and a padded handle wrap. Yes, this one bag really can do it all.

Promising review: "I purchased this in preparation for some day trips for work and it sure did the job. My suit stayed crisp, and I was able to fit everything I needed. The bag feels very durable, which I can't say for some of my other bags that cost five times the amount. Although many bags have a separate compartment for shoes, be careful not to overlook the importance of this feature when shopping for luggage. The last thing you want is to wake up and get dressed, only to find that something on the bottom of your shoes found its way onto your clothes. The side pockets make it easy to get essentials out of your bag, including when it's in the overhead bin on a plane." —Ronald

Get it from Amazon for $55.99+ (available in six colors).

It's recommended for kids ages 3–7 and fits most standard economy seats. Plus, it has an adjustable strap so you can carry it over your shoulder, a top handle, and a mattress inside that can be removed and used while in the flight. Parents have even used this product while in the airport waiting for the flight to keep their kids comfy and happy.

Promising review: "Traveling with a toddler is always a challenge. but comfort is key, and this little magic package makes the airport trip that much smoother. We can store small toys, pillow, and one throw blankets for our family of three. Great idea and great buy. We will be using this until it breaks." —TifferTheTrend

Get it from Amazon for $229 (available in six colors).

Plus, it comes with a set of earplugs to block out all the noise around you!

Promising review: "I have been sleeping with a sleeping mask for years now. I like the complete darkness around me when I close my eyes. It’s just so much easier to relax and fall asleep. But all the masks I have had, there have been irritating things about them like shot out the light completely. Too tight elastic, or scratches. But these are just beyond amazing. First of all; the elastic is of great quality. It’s thick wide and adjustable. Second, the fabric is so soft. There is a cavity inside the sleeping mask for the eye so my eyelids is not in contact; GREAT PLUS. I travel a lot and uses my sleeping mask on the plain. All others have made my makeup look horrible after I wake up, but these; you can even see I closed my eyes. I cannot recommend these enough. They changed my sleeping habits, no irritation and no light coming through. I absolutely love mine! :)" —Anette Normark

I've had this duffle for years now, and it's one of my favorite things I own (and still looks the same as the day I got it). I'm not exaggerating when I say it is the PERFECT carry-on bag. The neoprene fabric makes it so it can fit so much and slide perfectly under the seat in front of you. Yes, even the XL sizes fits under the seat. I love that while everyone is fighting for overhead bin space, I have everything I could put in a carry-on suitcase in the duffle sitting at my feet. The pockets inside make sure everything has a place and stays organized. And one of the coolest features is the small outside pocket that fits your phone perfectly. It's also a great bag for a weekend trip as a duffle. I let my mom borrow mine when she traveled across Europe, and then I had to get her her own for Christmas because she joined the #TeamDagneDover travel team.

Get the XL size from Dagne Dover for $245 (available six colors and four smaller sizes).

Multitasky is a female BIPOC-owned small biz that began in 2020 as a way for founder Julia Xu to create products that were both functional and cute.

Promising review: "What can I say? 😍 I’m obsessed with Multitasky’s blush pink collection! This Flyport is one of my faves — I always need more ports to charge all my devices, from my phone to my watch to my power bank to my AirPods. So convenient and cute!! It's perfect for traveling too because hotels never have enough USB ports!" —Ginger D.

Get it from Multitasky for $25 (originally $25; available in three colors).

Promising review: "I recently purchased this blanket for a family vacation to Florida, and everyone LOVED it! It's lightweight, big enough for the whole family to lay out on, and the sand rolled right off. One of the things I loved most about it is that it rolled up super compact and light so it was easy to pack! When you are going to the beach with kids, you drag along a lot of equipment! It was nice that this was easy to pack and travel with. Fun fact: If you have one of those canopies to bring to the beach, this blanket fits perfectly under it!" —Megan

Promising review: "When I travel, I worry about misplacing my contacts, so this will hep me keep them in a safe place, easy to find."—Tamara G.

Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (available in two colors).

Promising review: "I recently got a service dog for a medical condition. I was honestly looking for something like a diaper bag for baby’s except I needed one that could carry the dogs stuff and mine. I needed one I could take to work, when I travel and when we are just out and about. I found this brand searching for almost a week and most of the reviews were good regarding the quality and the amount of storage space. This bag has everything you need for any travel situation. I holds all my stuff. It's definitely worth the money and a wise investment if you travel with your dogs or any animal for that matter." —Christopher Enzor

Get it from Amazon for $39.70+ (available in five colors).

It folds up so small that it was awarded a Guinness World Record in 2014 for the most compact stroller. It can hold kids who weigh up to 55 lbs. and only weighs 9.5 lbs.

Promising review: "We are frequent travelers. I've been on 15 flights with my 17-month-old toddler. I wish I would have bought this a long time ago. It's the best purchase we have ever made. It is sturdy, folds very easy, has a great design, and can literally fit in a reusable grocery bag. Highly recommend!" —Kateryna

Get it from Amazon for $279.95 (available in two colors and two styles).

Promising review: "I absolutely love this wrap!! It is the perfect weight and size for travel. It didn't leave my side on an 11-day backpack trip through Europe and was used as a scarf, blanket, towel, and wrap all through the trip. Fashionable enough to dress up a basic travel day outfit, warm enough to keep away a chill on a cooler night, and light enough to pack away small into a bag or tie around a purse strap. I can't say enough great things! I am buying these as gifts for everyone I know who travels." —Jenn

Get it from Amazon for $43+ (available in eight colors).

Not only does the backpack open from the inside, but it also has a phone pocket, document pocket, front zippered pocket, and an exterior side pocket. It's also made of nylon, so it's waterproof and has a strap to change it into a shoulder bag.

Promising review: "I used this bag at the airport and over a trip to Europe for two weeks, and it worked perfectly! I found it so much easier to travel with this over a purse since I could keep my hands free. It was great when shopping and storing any souvenirs I bought! :)" —Laura Granillo

Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in two sizes and 14 colors).

Promising review: "WOW! SO much more than what I was expecting for such a small device! We always sleep with a fan, but in the winter, it makes the bedroom too cold sometimes, so we started looking for a white noise machine. I was pleasantly surprised at the power of this little thing! The volume control is wonderful, and the three sounds are so soothing, I sleep so good!! It charges with a USB cable, so no need for batteries or a cord and the charge lasts surprisingly ALL NIGHT!! It makes traveling so much easier than having to drag along a fan also! The only thing I wish it had was a jack for headphones, but other than that, it's WONDERFUL!!! Two thumbs WAY UP!!" —C.B. Wimberley

Get it from Amazon for $25.35+ (available in four styles).

It also comes with a USB-C charging cable, travel pouch, keychain holder, quick-start guide, and a manual.

Promising review: "I love this gadget ... I fly a lot and this works on the majority of wide-body planes I’ve taken over the past six months. Just plugs into one of the three-prong outlets (or single outlet in economy), and you can connect any Bluetooth device. Doesn’t always connect on the first try as I have multiple devices that my headphones are searching for, but if you turn off all other devices it seems to connect right away. Once connected, it works for many hours. A few planes I’ve taken recently (Qatar Airways) have USB charge points so close to the headphone jack that you can even plug it in while its working and never lose the charge. Highly recommend for travelers." —Joseph Britto

Get it from Amazon for $54.99 (available in three styles).

Promising review: "Extremely accurate! What I love is that you have the ability to weigh individual items. Let’s say your bag is 48 pounds, and you have room for two more pounds, you can just weigh an individual item placed in a bag and the zero out the scale before you put the item in it. It makes traveling so much easier. One of the best items I’ve ever bought on Amazon!" —Soul2Soul

Get it from Amazon for $10.18+ (available in eight colors and as a two-pack).

Promising review: "I absolutely love how compact this product is. I have been pleasantly surprised at how natural the makeup feels and I love the natural look it provides. I originally purchased for traveling, but have been using it daily and love it!" –Paula Bowie
