At airport security, toothpaste is usually treated as a liquid or gel. Limits can vary by airport and country, so check the latest rules of your airline and departure airport before travelling.
How should you pack toothpaste?
- choose a small tube,
- close the cap securely and place the tube in your liquids bag,
- do not transfer it into an unlabelled container,
- take an amount appropriate for the length of your trip,
- place a full-size tube in checked baggage if it exceeds the permitted limit.
Do not assume that a product sold as “travel size” automatically meets local security rules. Always check the stated capacity on the packaging.
