Carrry-on items - Wipes
 
I noticed people throwing out packets of Wash and Dri along with their liquids and gels. But, I haven't seen any written restrictions on things like baby wipes, eyeglass cleaner wipes, bug repellant wipes, etc. They aren't liquid or gel but they are wet. Does anyone have any idea if these are allowed at the present time?

baby wipes=tool of terror

I think baby wipes were going to be allowed.

If wipes are allowed, drugstore.com has a few body wipes--not as good as a deodorant, but an alternative. Now would be a VERY good time for Dove to bring back the wonderful deodorant body wipes, no longer available anywhere that I can find.

Topping...I was wondering too. TSA doesn't specify. Was hoping to bring the Olay face wipes for the overnight flight.

We flew yesterday from paris into newark and wipes were allowed.

Just came back from trip yesterday - we were allowed to carry on antiseptic hand wipes.

Good to know--thanks for posting the information.

Thanks - I was going to ask th same question - want to carry personal hygiene and face cleansing wipes for an upcoming very long flight.

I flew from CDG on Sunday evening 3/9/2006 and wipes were allowed.

It depends on what country you fly to the US from. The UK has much stricter carry on rules then any of the others. Check the country you are traveling back home from.

If they are going to allow small individual packets (lotion,Visine,etc.) of things, you can find all kinds on this website.

I'm glad someone else asked the question. Especially eyeglasses wipes. You can get pretty smeary after a 9 hour flight!
I see Magellan's catalog advertising something called "soap sheets". Has anyone used them? Do you think they're allowed?
I guess in the same category--how about those little melt in your mouth sheets that are about 1" square with some kind of mouthwash?

Oh, I'm sure breath strips are allowed.

Is the Magellan's catalog advertising soap leaves? They're quite nice to have around if a restroom you visit has water, but no soap. I notice that AAA is carrying them, and I've found some at Target, as well.

Does it matter if the wipes are individually packaged or come in one package. My eyeglass wipes are individually packaged, by my facial wipes are in a resealable packet of 20.
