Looking for a store that sells the sheer spray sunscreen preferably in Simpson Bay. Last time we brought from home one can failed and ruined clothes and suitcase, so prefer to get on arrival.

Thanks.

We always put all sunscreen, lotions etc. in sealed ziplock bags in our checked luggage. If it leaks it's no biggie....

Boucharda has it - zip lok bags for anything that can leak - also helps with grouping similar items once you arrive

I remember a couple of years ago returning with the remaining half bag of DD coffee. When we opened the checked bag the pressure difference had sucked out all the coffee and distributed it around the suitcase...made for some needing to be washed coffee smelling clothes. Not a major issue but into the baggie it now goes .......

I should have known 'cuz when we arrive the bag of coffee is like a solid, wrinkled brick after having all the air sucked out

Along with putting all questionable leakable items in a ziplock I also take that blue painters tape and secure the flip tops shut before it goes in my checked bag..

We only travel with carry-ons. But we do ship a lot of stuff, including liquids, from the states. Anything with a cap of any kind gets duct tape and a ziplock!!

Iā€™m a big fan of duct taping things inside the ziplock bag, too. Had a harder plastic cap crack once inside the ziplock and it was still a mess to clean up even though it was contained. And I lost half the sunscreen. šŸ‘Ž

Elaine and Pat. Try the blue painters tape. Easy to remove and reuse if need be.

Thanks for the suggestion but for this one purpose I prefer using the sure thing. I use the painters tape on my luggage handles but don't want to chance it where liquids are concerned. A little nail polish remover gets rid of the gunky stuff with no problem.

Thanks. As for packing, i think we did pretty well but the can under pressure failed and the ziplock didnt do its job. We may try again but its good to know where to go.

Actually aerosol cans aren't allowed in checked bags. And that is why. Check the tsa site.

Thanks for posting that link jazz gal. It raised question as to why only 3 oz liquid when a person can take 5 containers of 3 oz each then combine them into something lethal once on a plane. But then someone posted TSA is government and government doesn't always make sense. LOL

Thanks jazzgal. I have often taken aerosol cans in checked luggage and was thinking that I had violated TSA rules and didn't know it.

They looked in your checked bag at check-in/baggage drop? That would be before security...

Just to keep things confused... American Airlines lists ā€œspray cansā€ as prohibited items.

Click on ā€œPressurized containers/compressed gassesā€ on this link:

I must be lucky because I have never had security go through my checked bags before a flight. I just hand them off to when I get my boarding pass and THEN go through security. They might be scanned behind the scenes but never in my presence.

Pelican--one person said they saw it, yes. Although something could be an item they regularly carry and they happen to be out of it when you want it. You might drop Jeannie a note and ask if she knows if it seems to always be on hand in stores.

We always put all our liquids inside ziplocks. Even if they leak, they only leak onto the other liquid bottles.

The Maho Market also carries it. As does the pharmacy in Simpson Bay near Zee Best.

I wish they would stop making that spray sunscreen. When ever I see someone apply it 90% goes in the atmosphere and a little on the body. I can usually tell when someone has used it as it is a splotchy sunburn because they don't spread or rub it in to get proper coverage. Manufactures must love it as a can doesn't last long. I hate it as the spray from someone next to me usually drifts onto my glasses. I'm done with the rant.

Well the wind can do things but this stuff is pretty good if you find a spot away from folks and point into the wind. Dry, sheer, and great protection. Im fair slinned and I can burn pretty good and since using this stuff i can stay in the sun all day without an umbrella. Im not a dermatologist of course that is bad but this stuff is good and better than anything. And i dont have to use 70, 35 works great if iut of 70.

I was just on the Sunset Beach Bar camera and saw a woman spray her daughter. Most of it caught the wind and no rub down either. I could see the cloud of spray clear as day miss most of her.

You were right. Maho is the only place we found the spray. $14 for small can. Double Walmart.

So the Maho Market no longer carries it. The Maho Pharmacie had 1 can of spray and they called Phillips urg and no joy.

This stuff works great for fair skin in the tropics. If you use it, you better bring it in your checked bag.

Also, nowhere on the french side.

Pelican, not only have I seen it, purchased it at Maho pharmacy but it was almost the same price we pay at home. I believe we also saw it at the Carrefore in Jordan Village. .. just past Maho take right turn up toward university. It's a small area with a couple of restaurants and the grocery store.

I saw it at Maho Pharmacy this last May. If they are out they can have it brought in or you could email them and they would have it for you when you got there. Same with Pharmacy in Simpson Bay.

Maho RX had 1 can and I did buy it. Their other store in Pburg was fresh out as the pharmacist made a call..

We were down by the cruise ships at a market and pharmacie. Nope.

I paid $15 bucks here at Maho Pharmacy and less than $8 at home. I wont chance it next time. Ill buy it tape, tape it and bag it and sleep good.

Right, we tape it to go down and risk a little loss---but leave the leftovers when we leave.

That way you have the product you want and don't have to shop before hitting the beach.
