toiletry bottles that don't leak?

The squeeze type toiletry bottles I have always leak when traveling on
a plane. Can anyone recommend ones that don't suffer from this problem?
Thanks

The leaks are caused by the pressure dropping in the cargo hold once the
plane is airborne. I always squeeze out excess air in the bottles before
closing them, to cause the bottle to collapse in on the empty space a little
so that it can expand when the outside pressure decreases. I've not had any
problems doing this. Good luck.

Prior to flight, squeeze as much air out of the container as possible. Not
only does this reduce the volume of air that wants to expand during flight,
but it also gives the container room to grow as the cabin pressure drops.

After squeezing out excess air, I put bottles into heavy-duty ziplock
bags. Just in case.

I have never had anything leak in my toiletries. There's a simple trick
to avoid problems. Use a little of the item before your flight. This
provides room for expansion inside the container. Just to be safe
though, I put my toothpaste, shampoo, etc. in little sandwich bags and I
close them with a twist tie.
