- Shaving accessories such as razors, shaving cream, etc.
- Make-up accessories
- Medicines
- Bathroom towels
- Cleaning supplies
- Perfumes & deodorants

2. Purge The Supplies

Another option is to use up the cleaning supplies and half-filled bottles before the move. However, it doesn’t mean that you should waste materials. If you can’t use the supplies, just pack them for your new home.
3. Pack Liquids
In the bathroom, you might have a lot of bottles, tubes, etc. that contain liquids. You should carefully pack them to avoid spills and leaks. Use sealable plastic bags and keep the bottles in an upright position.
Never move open bottles containing liquids. However, if you want to move some open bottles. Such as expensive perfumes, prefer putting them in plastic bags and getting the excess air out. Pack opened containers tightly in the bags, and add an extra layer of protection to avoid any risks.
4. Pack Fragile Items
