YOUR LOTIONS AND POTIONS are now cleared for boarding again -- as long as you can find some bottles small enough to put them in.

Last week, the Transportation Security Administration relaxed its ban on most liquids and gels, which had effectively made carrying on your toiletries in your wheelie bag impossible. Now, travelers can pass through security checkpoints (and board commercial airline flights) with whatever toiletry they wish, as long as the items meet two conditions. First, you must store them in bottles or containers that hold no more than three ounces. Second, you must place all of these vessels into one clear, quart-size, plastic zip-top bag.

For travelers with no particular brand preferences, grabbing whatever happens to be in the travel-size bins at the local drugstore will likely suffice. Others can turn to several Web sites that either sell miniature bottles of shampoo and such or small containers into which you can pour your own favorites. Minimus.biz, for example, limits its inventory to toiletries (plus food, cleaning supplies and other ephemera) in three-ounce containers or less.
Here are some sites that offer toiletries or containers in Lilliputian sizes.

Site: containerstore.com
Offerings: Select "Shop by Category" from the drop-down menu, click "Travel" then "Bottles and Medication." The opaque aluminum bottles are TSA-legal, but you might want to buy the company's "Personal Care Labels" so you know what you put in there. Some models promise a leakproof "laboratory quality seal."
Sample price: Two-ounce Wide-Mouth Leakproof Bottle, 99 cents each; set of 36 Personal Care Labels, $1.79

Site: minimus.biz
Offerings: A wide selection of travel-size toiletries, free shipping for domestic, FedEx ground-shipped orders over $20 and a free plastic bag to use at the airport if you enter "ZIPLOCK" in the special instructions box during checkout.
Sample price: One-ounce Lubriderm Lotion, 79 cents.

Site: www.sks-bottle.com
Offerings: Snazzy blue, green and amber plastic bottles, though the site often requires you to buy in bulk. It also peddles travel kits with several bottles inside.
Sample price: 48 two-ounce blue plastic bottles with silver caps, $22.56
