How well would these bags work for packing liquid toiletries such as shampoo INSIDE the bags? Usually use Ziplocs in my checked baggage but they leak.

It should work just fine. If the shampoo bottles leak then the bags should help protect the shampoo from leaking outside.

I would think pretty well, since they are waterproof, but have not had any experience. They are large bags, too, so you may want to put your ziplocs in these bags, just for leak protection of your other suitcase things.

I didn't pack them in my checked-in baggage because we sailed out of NY and live nearby. I would imagine they would be fine, just like any other liquid you may pack. Just don't fill them to the max and put them in a ziplock bag. Enjoy your cruise! After posting I read the other reviews and see that it's unanimous so go for it!

Yes I believe they would. We are using them for documents, photos, instruction books, chorus books and many other items that are now toxic. The bags are nicely sturdy. The zip lock works and hold fine. Yes, I think they would be ideal for what you are asking.

Hi, the bags are thinner than a plastic grocery bag but thick enough that I haven't had a bag tear on me... and nothing's leaked on me either!

What Lynn D said: Put the sealed bags in a box, or another large trash bag, or wrap snuggly in twine or tape. Thus, even if the Ziploc bag leaks, the storage size is the same.

Frankly i have not used them during transportation. There is a lid side slot which would slide in to prevent the lid from opening and its pretty tight. I think they should be fine as the lid closes tight, not sure if all liquids would be contained in it, but thicker ones yes they would be in it ~Rahul

I did not have any problems with leakage. I have used them for transporting pickles, making jello shots and putting condiments in to take for lunch.

I have not tried to use them with liquids, but I can say they are tough and if I had a reason to use them with liquid, I would not hesitate. I can say I feel they are very good quality and have held up very well to the storage uses I have used them for. I sealed dry goods then "stuffed" as many as I could into 5 gallon buckets with a lid for long term food food storage. I have not had any problems using them.

You could use these for travel, but I think a mesh laundry bag would be best. That way if something is wet it won't get stale or moldy, and a mesh bag stores away easier.

I have never had a problem with liquids leaking. I use the smaller sizes in my lunch bags and have never had a leak. The others don't get shaken much unless I'm using them for a marinade, which get shaken gently, but again, no trouble. I like these a lot.

They work alright for small leaks, they would hold about 1/2 cup of liquid (just a guess). These are good size for a chair, the couch and a seat in the car. Not OK for beds, these are too small for that.

You can definitely use the ziplock-and-squeeze approach. And you'll need to do that if there's a lot of liquid in the bag. I just think that vacuum sealers are cool.

I find that they work as well as any commercial liquid or powder that I formally used. The bag should be pulled out before the rinse cycle though.

i used these in the portible potty that was advertised with the bags. They worked fine, but you must pull the bag down tight so it won't have folds that buckle up.

Not good for liquids. They will leak. Designed for dry stuff. You will need something with a rubber gasket for liquids.

I flew with them filled and everything worked out just fine. Be sure to follow the fill instructions and don't overfill. I also put them inside gallon ziploc bags in the event they leaked. The added precaution proved unnecessary though. Enjoy!
