The bag may be placed in a carry-on bag or in your checked bag.
Solid
Solid deodorants are the most common type of deodorant and can come in many forms, such as creams, sticks, and gels. They are easy to apply and usually last long. However, some people find them too greasy or heavy.

Other items

Gel
Gel is a type of solid Deodorant that has a moisture-activated formula. It usually comes in a pump dispenser and can be applied directly to the skin. Although it is not as popular as other types of Deodorant, gel has some advantages. For one, it is less likely to stain clothing than other types of deodorant. It is also less likely to leave white marks on dark clothing. Gel Deodorant can be an alternative for people who are sensitive to the aluminum in antiperspirants.
Cream
Creams, also sometimes called roll-ons, are a type of deodorant that come in a small bottle or tube. You apply them by rolling the stick on your skin.
