A woman has revealed a clever hack for taking large toiletries abroad without having to use hand luggage.

Steph Gibbs, 28, has gone viral on TikTok with the tip, racking up 3.9 million views on a video detailing how to get away with the ruse.

In the video, Steph, a hotel product and commercial executive, says: “Airport hack for when you have hand luggage only.

“Place an order for toiletries on the Boots website around a week before you travel – this means you pay the normal price instead of the airport price.

“Make sure you select the ‘after security’ option.

“Collect your order once you have cleared security.

“Now you don’t have to worry about fitting all your liquids in the world’s smallest plastic bag!”

The traveller says the hack works wonders.

“I travel regularly for work and have always struggled to fit my toiletries in the plastic bag provided at security when travelling with hand luggage only,” Steph, from Reading, told NeedToKnow.co.uk.

“I booked a last-minute trip with my partner and I didn’t have much time to prepare, so I went online to order our toiletries to pick up at my local boots when I noticed the option to pick up at London Gatwick after security.

“I’ve only used it once, but since I posted [the TikTok], my friends have begun using it and haven’t encountered any problems.

“I selected my pick-up date on the Boots website and made sure the store was going to be open at the time I would arrive at the airport.”

The hack proved a hit on TikTok, garnering 142,000 likes and sending users flocking to the comment section to share their own tips.

One person said: “I kept an old duty free bag and reuse it.”

“You just saved me like 10kg off my check-in bag,” said another fan.

Someone else described it as the “best idea ever”.

Another user commented: “Such a good tip.”

“We've been doing this for years. we used to order nappies and baby milk to collect,” advised someone else.

“So smart,” another person added.
