Packing toiletries when flying

Pack your toiletries bag, including any liquids that you can't take inflight and that need to go into your suitcase, inside one of those large zip-lock, vacuum sealed storage bags (the ones designed to compress their contents for space saving!). You don't need to do the full compression. They are sufficiently large, made of tough plastic, and have a good strong zip-lock seal, so that if anything does happen to leak inflight, it will not damage your clothes or any of the other contents in your case. It's also useful to have on the way home (by which time most of the toiletries will have been used up!) when you've gone overboard on shopping and need to squeeze more into your suitcase!!!
