You certainly can carry your full size gels, lotions, etc in your checked luggge. No problem at all.

Your checked luggage cannot contain things in a spray can such as hair spray or aerosol mousse. Those cans are pressurized and are not allowed in your checked baggages since they do pose a small threat of exploding in the cargo hold due to air pressure being less than on the ground.

You may absolutely bring your full sized gels, lotions, and hair products in your checked luggage. The restriction on liquids only applies to carry on baggage.

Here's a list of permitted items in checked and carry on luggage: http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/prohibited/permitted-prohibited-items.shtm#2

And more info on TSA's 3-1-1 policy: http://www.tsa.gov/311/index.shtm

I'd suggest putting your checked liquid items in gallon-sized Ziploc (or another brand) bags in case they leak due to the pressure change during the flight. Also, make sure the bottles aren't full, as this increases the chance of the liquid inside the bottles being forced out. If they're new, full bottles, use them for a couple of days before your trip to reduce the amount of stuff in them.

Have a great trip!

Yes, they can go in your checked luggage as long as they are not in pressurized cans (mousse, hairspray, etc.). I would put them in ziplock bags so if they leak, they won't leak on your other belongings.

You can take it with you if you pack it in your luggage that you check in. You just can not carry it on with you. Make sure you put in plastic bags (ziplock) sometimes it explodes and you do not want to ruin you other belongings.

I am a travel consultant. You can do this ONLY in your checked baggage. If you carry on it's the 3/3 rule. No more then 3 oz.

i am pretty sure you can, i took toothpaste and other articles in my suitcase when i went to Germany. Check the airline's website.

As long as its in the Main Baggage its fine.

If you wanna carry in had luggage make sure that they are less than 100ml and in a see through plastic bag which is normally provided at the airport.

what i do is put the tooth-brush and paste and a moisturizer in those bags and take it onboard

safe flying

YES! I just traveled (husband works for airline). I had full size shampoo, conditioner, lotion, etc in my suitcase. I put it all in Ziplock bags. You just can't put it in your carry on bag.
