This is an excellent solution to the frustrating TSA restriction on carrying a limited number of ... [+] liquids.

Stuffing TSA-friendly liquid bottles into a small plastic bag does is like a game of Tetris, and it can limit the number of toiletries people take when traveling with a carry-on bag. Matador has a solution to that problem with the TSA-approved FlatPak Toiletry Bottle that lays flat while holding 3oz of liquid each. They come in different colors and are made with a flex fabric that can easily be refilled. They are more lightweight than a plastic bottle. Plus, being malleable and flat, traveling moms can stuff more toiletries into the plastic bag without wasting space inside of it. The bottles are BPA and PVC-free; a pack of three costs $38. What a brilliant solution to a frustrating problem!
