Packing toiletries for travel can often be a cumbersome task, filled with bulky bottles and the constant worry of leaks. Finding the right Travel Containers that are both efficient and reliable is crucial for any traveler. Enter Cadence Capsules, a system designed to streamline your packing process and elevate your travel experience. These innovative containers offer a customizable, leak-proof, and TSA-compliant solution for carrying your essential personal care products.
The beauty of Cadence Capsules lies in their modular design and variety of sizes, catering to diverse travel needs. Even the smallest Cadence Capsule provides ample space for your products while offering the flexibility to choose different sizes based on your specific requirements. Initially, the Original Capsules, each holding slightly over half an ounce, proved invaluable for travels. They were perfect for carrying moisturizers, cleansers, makeup removers, and even jewelry, offering a much more organized alternative to loose items rolling around in a bag. While the Original line is no longer available, the Flex Small size has taken its place, maintaining the same volume and versatility. The Flex Small stands out with its flat design, making it ideal for scooping thicker substances. It works exceptionally well for serums with a honey-like consistency, balms, or pomades, showcasing its adaptability as a travel container.
For longer trips or when you need to pack larger quantities, the 1.32-ounce Flex Medium capsule becomes indispensable. It’s perfectly sized for body lotion for an extended journey or even for storing medications like antacids. Its compact and lightweight nature makes it easy to carry in a purse or tote for daily use, holding enough product to share, even if travel companions happen to forget their own toiletries. For hair care essentials, the 2.75-ounce Flex Large size is ideal for shampoo and conditioner. The relief of not having to pack bulky, full-sized bottles is a significant advantage, especially for carry-on travel.

Cadence also offers the Flex Extender, an extension tube that adds an extra 1.43 ounces of capacity to any Flex Capsule. While designed to increase volume, especially for products like shampoo and conditioner, it’s worth considering if the added size is truly necessary for your trip duration. In practice, using the extender can sometimes make the container too large, making it difficult to access all of the product, particularly thicker consistencies towards the bottom. Unless a significant amount of a specific product is required, the extenders might be unnecessary for typical travel durations.
A key feature of the Flex vessels is their magnetic honeycomb design, allowing them to neatly clack together for organized packing. Crucially for air travel, individual Cadence Capsules are TSA-compliant, simplifying airport security checks. While the Large capsule with the Flex Extender attached might exceed carry-on liquid limits, the individual capsules are perfectly sized for hassle-free travel through security. For added convenience and to expedite security screenings, Cadence recommends placing the capsules in a separate tray for easy examination. Travel experts also advise keeping toiletries easily accessible within a clear case or zip-top bag inside your carry-on, further streamlining the security process.
Even if you slightly overestimate the amount of product needed, Cadence Capsules are designed for continued use beyond your trip. Unlike disposable drugstore bottles, these refillable travel containers are durable and aesthetically pleasing enough to use at home for a few extra days. This eliminates the need to immediately decant leftover product and highlights the long-term value and sustainability of Cadence Capsules as a superior travel container solution.
