13 Best Toiletry Bags, Tested and Reviewed (2024) Leave a comment

There have been a number of nice baggage we tried whose options or designs simply did not add as much as a spot within the prime spots above. Nonetheless, everybody has one thing completely different they’re on the lookout for in a toiletry bag, so whereas not good for us, a few of these choices should still be good for you.

State Luggage Benson Toiletry Package for $68: It is a stable, easy bag with three mesh pouches and a snap-in/snap-out plastic envelope that may maintain a toothbrush and toothpaste or bathe gadgets like cleaning soap. The navy model I examined had a coated polyester wipe-clean exterior and inside constructed from recycled bottles, and I favored that it had the choice to hold. Nonetheless, the group was extra rudimentary than similar-category baggage we examined, and it was lacking among the considerate particulars featured on different baggage in the identical worth vary, like a quick-access pouch on the again and a bigger hook with a rubber tip to forestall slipping. (This bag’s thick, small plastic hook wasn’t even vast sufficient to hold on a towel rack.)

July Hanging Toiletry Bag for $85: I personal and love July’s carry-on suitcase, so I used to be excited to strive the model’s well-liked hanging toiletry bag. It is an ideal design with a zippered pouch on the again, plus a physique that zips flat to disclose PVC and pouch zip compartments and a big, rubber-tipped metallic hook that tucks away. It seems to be well-made and classy with leather-based trim and gunmetal {hardware}, however my husband took it on a enterprise journey and located that its pockets are literally fairly small, confirming a fear I had once I examined it in my toilet at residence. It would not be a problem if the bag itself have been small, nevertheless it took up a full quarter of the carry-on.

Fjallraven Kanken Toiletry Bag for $55: I really like this factor, which makes me really feel like a Purple Cross nurse on the battlefields of World Conflict II. It’s constructed from a proprietary Fjallraven cloth mix that mixes natural cotton with recycled polyester, so it looks like cloth however is extra waterproof and sturdy. It has a clamshell design with a sturdy inside plastic hook. My quart bag of bottles goes into the large decrease zip compartment, my toothbrush and deodorant within the prime compartment, and there’s mesh pockets and MOLLE webbing in order that your tiny issues are simply seen. Nonetheless, its dimensions are very giant, so this won’t be for you if you happen to’re a minimalist with only a toothbrush and a comb. —Adrienne So

Calpak Clear Cosmetics Case for $85: Constructed largely of water resistant, wipe-clean PVC, this clear beauty case (I examined the medium dimension) zips all the way in which round and folds flat to disclose two zippered compartments and one smaller zippered mesh bag. It additionally seems to be like a cute little purse with its 16 stylish colour choices, twin handles, and metallic backside studs. Nonetheless, contents aren’t as straightforward to entry as different beauty circumstances that simply open from the highest—you need to lay the Calpak flat to open either side, which requires a 16-by-10-inch footprint, and the all-clear building is not very discreet.

Sympl Dopp Package for $75: I favored this bag’s sturdy Cordura exterior and stow-away clip for hanging, in addition to the actual fact it has a lifetime guarantee. The bag opens clamshell-style to disclose 4 easy waterproof zip pockets—two skinny and horizontal, one small rectangle, and one bigger rectangle. It is an fascinating concept, however in follow, this severely limits utility since a person is restricted to particular toiletry-sized merchandise that match the form of every of the pockets. (My deodorant didn’t match, nor did a toothbrush in a case.)

Lululemon Command the Day Dopp Package for $48: This straightforward, water-repellent canvas bag has an interesting unisex design (in black solely). I like that it’s made out of recycled polyester and that the spacious backside mesh compartment can maintain full-sized merchandise. Nonetheless, the bag doesn’t cling or zip open all the way in which to put flat, nor does it sit up by itself, so it’s pressured to take up a large (roughly 8.5 x 11-inch) footprint on the counter. I additionally discovered myself pissed off on a number of events attempting to entry my toiletries throughout the testing interval, particularly with the decrease mesh compartment. This compartment must be zipped all the way in which open and closed for entry, and gadgets regularly rolled out because of the bag’s lack of ability to put flat.
