I'm one for cutting down size and weight of stuff on an OCD level (accused of that today in ORD by a colleague, lol) but grabbing a small chunk of DO and somehow wiping it under my arms then putting it back in a mini ziplock and then washing the DO gunk off my messy hands seems to be, for me, a situation where the inconvenience outweighs the very minimal weight and volume savings. I do understand that lots of little things like this can add up but we have to draw a line somewhere and this is an individual thing.


Most drug stores in the US, in their travel section, will have Secret and Degree travel sized DO's. Sometimes they will also have Dove. Degree is not bad for guys. and while it is not your preferred brand it does the job fairly well. If you want to be really extreme then put on Mitchum 48 hours DO. This will give you some time to by a DO at your destination. Upon leaving throw it away. This way, while in transit you have NO DO in your ultra minimalist hand luggage.

PS; thank you for using DO! There are always a few on the plane who don't and we all suffer for it.
