Welcome to Problem Solved, a series where we feature trending products that solve common problems and make your life better.

Traveling is a luxury, but packing for a trip? That’s a whole different story. Whether you’re trying to cram a week’s worth of outfits into a carry-on or you’re looking for ways to stay comfortable during a transatlantic flight, it seems like there’s always something to deal with ahead of a big trip. 

Lucky for us, the modern world has plenty of solutions to these problems—like packing cubes and lotion sticks. Unlucky for us, it’s not always easy to know which options are worth the money (and which ones will leave you with nothing but buyer’s remorse). Fortunately, we’re here to help. 

With the input of our team of product experts and a little help from our algorithm, we’ve rounded up a list of 20 vacation essentials that shoppers are swearing by. From a travel pillow that can contort to fit any environment to a sleep mask made from moisturizing silk, the products below will help make your next trip all the more enjoyable.
