You can carry deodorant on a plane, but the size and type determine the restrictions:
- Stick (solid) deodorant: No size restrictions for carry-on or checked luggage. You can bring any size stick deodorant in your carry-on without limitation
- Spray (aerosol) deodorant: For carry-on bags, containers must be 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) or less and fit within your single quart-sized clear plastic bag of liquids. Larger spray deodorants can be packed in checked luggage, with each container up to 17-18 ounces and a total aerosol limit of 68-70 ounces per passenger
- Gel, roll-on, cream, or liquid deodorants: These are considered liquids and must follow the TSA 3-1-1 rule for carry-ons-containers 3.4 ounces or less, all fitting in one quart-sized bag. Larger sizes must go in checked baggage
Summary of TSA carry-on deodorant size limits:
Deodorant Type| Carry-On Size Limit| Checked Luggage Limit
---|---|---
Stick (solid)| No size limit| No size limit
Spray (aerosol)| 3.4 oz (100 ml) or less| Up to 17-18 oz per container, max
68-70 oz total per passenger
Gel, roll-on, cream, liquid| 3.4 oz (100 ml) or less| Larger sizes allowed
All liquids, gels, and aerosols must be packed in one clear quart-sized bag per passenger for carry-on screening
. If you have medically prescribed deodorants exceeding these limits, you can bring them in carry-on with proper documentation and declaration at security
. In short, for carry-on deodorant, stick deodorants have no size restrictions, but sprays, gels, and liquids must be 3.4 ounces or less and fit in a quart-sized bag
