Moving to a new home is an exciting time. However, packing and moving can be daunting, especially when it comes to the bathroom. From toiletries and skincare products to breakable glass bottles, bathroom items require extra care and attention when packing. Here’s how to pack bathroom items to help you enjoy an easy, stress-free move.

Sort Your Items

Before you begin packing bathroom items for moving, sort through everything and decide what’s worth keeping. First, be sure to dispose of any broken, dried-out, or expired products that could be harmful to use. Then, remember that moving is a fresh start, so you may want to donate or throw away some of your old or unwanted bathroom items. Purging before packing makes your job easier, both now and when it’s time to unpack in your new home.

Pack Your Items

Packing bathroom items requires a bit of planning, creativity, and organization. Here are some tips and tricks to try:

• Pack an essentials bag: This bag should contain all the items you’ll need for the first few days in your new home. Pack your toothbrush and toothpaste, shampoo and conditioner, soap and razor, and other essentials in a separate bag. Keep this bag with you during the move rather than loading it onto the truck to ensure easy access.
• Pack bottles of liquid: Liquid items such as shampoo, conditioner, and lotion should be packed in individual plastic bags to prevent leaks. Squeeze plastic bottles a little to let some air out and tighten the lids securely before sealing them inside zip-top bags.
• Pack glass containers: Glass containers such as perfume bottles and skincare products should be wrapped in bubble wrap or packing paper for extra protection and placed in a small box. Label the box as “fragile” to warn the movers, and keep the box in a safe place during the move.
• Pack makeup: To prevent damage to your makeup products, place them in a small box and wrap them in bubble wrap or packing paper. In the case of eye shadow, you may want to lay a cotton pad between the lid and powder to prevent vibrations from damaging the product. Do your best to keep makeup cool and dry throughout the move.
• Line boxes with towels for protection: If you run out of small, sturdy boxes to pack your bathroom items, you can use larger boxes lined with towels, bubble wrap, or packing paper.
• Label boxes: The final step is to label each box with its general contents and which bathroom it should be placed in. This makes it easier for you and your movers to unpack items when you arrive at your new home.
