Travel Blackout Blinds That Block 100% of Light, Anywhere You Go
Hotels, Airbnbs, holiday houses, visiting family. The curtains are never dark enough. You pack a travel blackout blind hoping it will help, but it falls off the window by 2am and your trip is ruined by bad sleep.
My Blackout is a travel blackout blind that seals directly to the window glass using industrial-strength suction cups. It blocks 100% of light with zero gaps. The full kit weighs just 564 grams, packs flat into a carry bag, and installs in 30 seconds on any window.

Why Most Travel Blackout Curtains Fall Short
If you have ever tried to darken a hotel room or holiday house, you know the frustration. The curtains look thick but light pours through the gap at the top, the sides, and sometimes right through the fabric itself.
Most travel blackout curtains use suction cups that lose grip overnight, especially on textured glass or older windows. You wake up at 5am with the blind on the floor and sunlight flooding in. Others use static cling that barely holds on smooth glass, let alone anything else.
The best travel blackout curtains need to do three things: seal to the glass with no gaps, stay up all night without falling, and pack small enough to fit in your luggage. Most fail at all three.
The Real Problem with Travel Curtains
Standard travel curtains and travel blackout shades hang over the window rather than sealing against it. This means light leaks around every edge. Even if the fabric is 100% blackout, the installation method defeats the purpose. For a travel blackout blind to actually work, it needs to seal at the glass, not hang in front of it.
How My Blackout Works as a Travel Blind
My Blackout is not a curtain. It is a blackout panel that seals directly to your window glass, creating a travel window blackout that blocks 100% of light with zero gaps.
Attach
Press the suction cups directly onto the window glass. They lock into place with a firm twist and hold all night, every night.
Seal
The Velcro edge seal runs around the panel, closing every gap where light would normally leak in. No light from the sides, top, or bottom.
Sleep
Total darkness in under 30 seconds. When you leave, peel it off and fold it into the included carry bag. No marks, no residue, no damage.
Built for Travel
Packs Flat
Folds into the included carry bag and fits in your suitcase, backpack, or car. No bulky rods or frames.
Lightweight
The full kit weighs just 564 grams. That is lighter than a bottle of water. You will forget it is in your bag until you need it.
Universal Fit
Works on any smooth glass window. Hotel, Airbnb, holiday house, grandparents' place. Cut to size once and it fits every trip.
30 Second Install

Stays Up All Night
Industrial-strength suction cups hold firm on glass. No falling off at 2am like cheap travel blackout curtains.
Reusable
Use it hundreds of times. The suction cups and Velcro seal are built to last, not designed for single use like static cling alternatives.
Works Everywhere You Travel
Best Travel Blackout Blind for Hotels
Hotel blackout curtains are almost never dark enough. Light leaks around the edges, through the gap in the middle, and the room is never truly dark. My Blackout seals to the hotel window glass behind the existing curtains, giving you total darkness without asking housekeeping for extra blankets to stuff in the gaps.
Travel Blackout for Airbnbs
Holiday rentals are the worst for light. Thin curtains, no blinds, or blinds that do not close properly. Pack My Blackout in your bag and turn any Airbnb bedroom into a dark sleep environment in 30 seconds.
Blackout Travel Blind for Staying at Family
The spare room at your parents' house has flimsy curtains and faces east. Rather than suffering through a week of 5am wake-ups, pack your travel blackout blind and sleep properly every night.
Travel Blackout Blind for Baby and Kids
Children need darkness to nap and settle, especially when they are out of routine. A travel blackout blind baby setup means your child can nap on schedule even in an unfamiliar room. Works on any window in the holiday house, hotel, or grandparents' place.
Travel Blackout for Road Trips
Staying in motels or sleeping at rest stops, light is always a problem. My Blackout packs in the car and sets up on any window in seconds. A proper travel blackout shade that actually travels.

We take this everywhere. Hotels, Airbnbs, my parents' house. It is the only travel blackout blind that actually stays up and blocks all the light. Our toddler sleeps through every time.
Genuinely blocks 100%
Sceptical at first, but it genuinely blocks 100% of light. Took 30 seconds to install in our hotel room and it did not move all night. Best travel purchase we have made.
Lives in my suitcase
I travel for work every week and this lives in my suitcase. Every hotel room is now pitch black. Cannot sleep without it anymore.
