Does gel deodorant count as "liquids"?
My new deodorant doesn't come in travel size but a 3.4oz. It's a clear gel in the common deodorant container with holes at the top. Now is taking this through security at any airport going to be problem? If so, how do you all take your deodorants? Never really thought about this situation before.
Best Answer
Yes, of course it counts as "liquids". But 3.4oz (per product) is actually the limit of what you can take in carry-on baggage. So put it in a zip-top bag, place that one separately when you're at the security screening, and you're fine.
Personally, I don't want to bother with all that and instead take a small stick-type solid deodorant in my carry-on.

Solid deodorant comes in a solid form, which makes it easier to carry around and apply; in fact, you can carry them in your cabin luggage while traveling.
