Travel mirrors vary in size, shape and type. Compact mirrors are often round with a clamshell style that features a hinged back, an opening in front, and two plastic or metal frames each containing a mirror. Some of these are self-folding with a sliding mechanism. There may be a regular mirror and a magnifying version in compacts, while only one in a fold-down variety. Some travel mirrors are used flat, while others have stands or hangers that fold up to save packing space.
Some travel mirror designs are versatile with a thinner metal section that can be used as a holder on the bathroom counter or as a hanger in a shower. Shower travel mirrors may have suction cups to make them adhere to tile or other wall surface. These are often used by men to shave while showering. An anti-fog feature on this type of travel mirror makes it practical for this purpose. The frames are usually made of lightweight plastic that folds compactly for travel.
Some bench mirrors also fold down. These may have an extendable metal armrest that allows the user to adjust the reach of the mirror. Most over-the-counter travel mirrors have one side with a regular reflection and the other with a magnified one. Magnifying mirrors are often excellent for close-up tasks like tweezing eyebrows. These double sided travel mirrors with folding stands are usually one of the larger types of travel mirrors.
Compact mirrors are typically the smallest of the travel types. Their two halves that close with a central hinge allow you to double the size of the mirror in half the space. While many styles of compact travel mirrors are round, others have novel shapes like hearts. Many compact mirrors are housed in a solid plastic or metal case, while some feature decorative designs on top such as floral or butterfly motifs.
Camping mirrors are often frameless, unbreakable, and flat. Smaller versions of these can be added to a backpack when the emphasis is on traveling light. Most camping travel mirrors are rectangular and include a hole in the top or a hanging feature. An acrylic surface gives the camping travel mirrors their unbreakable feature.
Folding mirrors usually have a metal part at the bottom of both the plastic cover and the framed mirror section. The mirror can then be accessed by pulling the top to the side. Some plastic-framed travel mirrors have no covers, but are simply carried as-is either in an envelope-like case or a small cloth drawstring bag.
