I know a lot of people don't use them but I do. No matter how well I pack, there are always wrinkles. Not sure what I will find in Africa so I need a new one as mine are old and never were that good. They don't put out much steam. My Samsonite is very hard to fill with water and it always has a little left in it after I empty it out. . Any suggestions on dual voltage travel steamers. They don't weigh much so I always save room......Thanks for help. Leaving in a few days......

A suggestion - rather than a steamer, I carry a tiny mister, a small spray bottle that I think works better than the steam. Weighs nothing and takes up no space and no electricity issues. I also use it at home.

Buy clothes that travel better, or that look OK wrinkled.

Do as DSK did : you hang your clothes above your bath when finished. The steam from the bath unwrinkles a lot.
Try at home before.

I've never found the hanging-in-the-shower routine particularly effective and why I now use the spray bottle.

In the past I have tried the "no wrinkle" spray things and also just water but does not work for me. Not sure why but it doesn't hence I like to travel with a dual voltage small travel steamer. weighs next to nothing and are far more effective. I like to look nice when I am at good restaurants so unless I am wearing linen, I don't care for the wrinkled look. Looks like none of you use a travel steamer. Hope someone else answers my question....

I just use warm water and smooth the wrinkles, always works for me, but I see you're committed. Carry on.
