Ultimately, you just wish to have your beloved deodorant right within your reach to stay fresh while on flights. But can you take deodorant on a plane? This is a common problem many travellers face. We will walk you through all you need to know about carrying your favourite stick into the cabin. Let’s dive in!
Can You Take Deodorant On A Plane?
Solid stick deodorant is allowed in carry-on bags with no size limitation. However, gel or aerosol deodorant must be 3.4 ounces or less & placed in your quart-sized liquids bag. For more info, pls see our blog at: https://t.co/yJ9ZWtB1OZ

The answer is definitely YES! As long as you follow the appropriate guidelines, it will be fine. Solid deodorants are far easier to take onto the plane than liquid ones.
While you are less likely to face problems while travelling with deodorant, it is worth checking the guidelines before getting on a plane to avoid parting ways with your significant hygiene items.

Deodorants come in various forms. The most commonly used versions are spray, roll-on, and stick. But which one is more suitable for a flight?
In general, no limitations are placed on our favourite stick (solid) deodorant; therefore, you can have your solid deodorant in any size for both carry-on bags and checked bags. They are your safest bet!
Since stringent security measures are in place at all airports, be mindful. There are indeed a few limitations to your stick deodorant’s cousins. The list includes some of the popular deodorants in liquid and semi-liquid forms:
- Aerosol deodorant
- Gel deodorant
- Liquid deodorant
- Deodorant cream
- Spray deodorant
- Deodorant paste.
There's more to it when it comes to liquid or aerosol (spray) deodorant. You must pay special attention to some strict security rules for aerosol products such as spray deodorant.
This does not mean you are banned from bringing it, but you must keep an eye on the size and volume. Bring more than the allowed amount, and you risk being fined or your deodorant confiscated.
Can You Bring Liquid Deodorant In Carry-On Baggage?
The short answer is it is totally fine to do that! Again, no limitations are placed on stick deodorants. Other than that, travel-sized containers of liquid, gel and aerosol deodorants should be 100ml at most.
These containers must be put in a clear plastic bag for easy inspection. If you want to bring more, you should carry them in hold luggage.
According to gov.uk, your daily liquid deodorants must adhere to these specific guidelines:
- Containers must hold less than or equal to 100ml
