Travel + Leisure / Tamara Staples

There are a few things every traveler needs, no matter where in the world they're going — and a toiletry bag is one of them. The humble case might be an afterthought to some, but these helpful bags are crucial to keeping your travel essentials organized.

We tested 52 toiletry bags and cosmetic cases (and continue to do so for a period of at least six months) in order to bring to you the best of the best, evaluating capacity, design, portability, and value. We also considered the overall quality of the bags, as well as their ease of use on real trips.

Taking our test results into consideration, we've put together a list of the best toiletry bags across various categories; you’re sure to find one that suits your needs.

Best Overall

Away large toiletry bag.

• Capacity 5 /5
• Design 5 /5
• Portability 5 /5

This bag holds more than you'd expect from just looking at it.

The limited edition colors often sell out fast.

You might be most familiar with Away for its selection of hardside luggage and weekender bags, but the brand carries travel accessories, too, including this large toiletry bag that earned high marks across the board during our tests.

Though we found the bag to be even roomier than expected, there are so many individual compartments including a clear cosmetic bag, a zippered pouch, two mesh linings, and an exterior pocket, to name a few. You won't be reaching into a bottomless pit, rummaging around for individual products here. We also love that the bag zips open wide enough for you to reach inside with ease. We packed it with both large and small items, from travel-size liquid bottles to makeup brushes, and there was still room for more.

We also noted the durability of the water-resistant nylon, which is lightweight without feeling cheap. The interior of the bag is coated with an easy-to-wipe material, allowing you to clean up any spills quickly. The bag comes in five color options (with limited edition colorways offered on occasion), as well as a smaller size option and a hanging version of the bag.

Best Compact

Dagne dover mila toiletry organizer.

• Capacity 4 /5

It might be small, but it can still fit full-size makeup brushes.

The dividers take up valuable space.

If you're a toiletry minimalist, this is the case for you. The highly compact Dagne Dover Mila keeps all your products neat and organized in a tiny, plush drum made of water-resistant recycled poly. Unzip the lid and you'll see a grid created by a removable insert — use the insert to keep your products separated from one another, reducing their impact if the toiletry bag is jumbled around. There's also a zippered mesh pocket in the lid, as well as four elastic loops to hold items like makeup brushes and lip balm.

We did notice, however, that the insert takes up quite a bit of space in the bag, and you'd be able to squeeze quite a few more items inside if you remove it instead. Of course in that case, you wouldn't have much help in terms of organization. Ultimately, we love the flexibility — you can customize the bag to suit your needs.

The Details: 5.5 x 5.5 x 5.5 inches | 6 ounces | Material | Recycled poly

Best Waterproof

Matador flatpak zipper toiletry case.

• Design 4 /5

It's extremely lightweight — just over an ounce.

There aren't any extra pockets or pouches for organization.

While many toiletry kits are water-resistant, this one is fully waterproof, and that makes all the difference if you're on an outdoor adventure like camping or a multi-day kayaking trip. It's made from a special nylon that has a secret superpower: "dry-through" technology, which allows moisture to escape from the bag without letting any in. That means your toiletries (like a wet toothbrush) can dry while they're in the bag.

We found this bag to be deceptively spacious, given that it looks like a simple pencil pouch at first glance. The bag expands at the bottom, allowing it to stand alone on a flat surface while giving you the space to fit larger items in with ease. That said, there aren't any useful organizational tools to keep your products in order — this is a fairly bare-bones bag.

The Details: 9.5 x 6.75 x 3.5 inches | 1.1 ounces | Nylon | Waterproof

Best Organization

Peak design wash pouch.

The bag is lined with high-density foam for extra protection.

It's a fairly pricey bag.

When you have a large number of toiletries to bring with you on vacation, the best thing you can do is choose a toiletry bag that helps you keep everything organized. This is that bag! Though it appears small from the outside, the bag is so thoughtfully designed with organizational tools — we found that there's a pocket for just about everything. The main compartment is large enough to fit small bottles, while mesh pockets of various sizes line the walls, so you tuck in your favorite tinted moisturizer , for example. There's also a separate pocket for your travel toothbrush , which keeps it nice and clean.

Other highlights include a wide opening to access each pocket easily, and the ability to stand on its own thanks to the bag's layer of high-density foam that also helps protect the items inside. It also has a handy hanging hook if you'd prefer to keep some counter space clear.

The Details: 10.2 x 6 x 4.4 inches | 8.7 ounces | Nylon

Best Dopp Kit

Dare to roam steward dopp kit.

The material is antimicrobial and antibacterial.

Organization is limited to three pockets.

What are dopp kits, anyway? Though the term can be used interchangeably with "toiletry bag" today, the dopp kit was originally a durable toiletry bag devised by German leather maker Charles Doppelt that was popular with military personnel in the 20th century. It typically takes the silhouette seen here in this bag — a large main compartment, sometimes with side pockets.

What dopp kits are great for is space; we were amazed by how much could fit in this bag, especially because it's expandable with side clips and adjustable webbing straps. As such, it's ideal for longer trips where you'll need as much space as you can get. We also love that it's made from an antimicrobial and antibacterial nylon (yes, it's water-resistant), though we think it could use a little more organization beyond two interior pockets and one exterior one.

The Details: 4.5 x 8.7 x 4.7 inches | Polyester | Water-resistant

Best Small Hanging

Sea to summit hanging toiletry bag.

Small and lightweight, it's perfectly portable.

It has to hang as it won't stand up on its own.

When it comes to hanging bags, this one is perfectly balanced. It's made from an ultra-thin, water-resistant nylon and takes the shape of a saddlebag, which is ideal for hanging. We found that no matter how many items we stuffed in there, the bag never really felt weighed down; all the products were perfectly situated and easy to access, thanks to a plethora of pockets.

This bag also comes with a detachable mirror, which makes it great for outdoor adventures when you don't have access to a vanity, as well as handles for easy transport. Ultimately, it is perfect for people limited on space and weight, whether they're on a multi-day trek that requires them to carry all their gear or traveling for an extended period of time with limited storage space. The toiletry bag comes in two sizes (we tested the smaller one) and four color options.

The Details: 10.2 x 3.9 x 8.9 inches | 0.3 ounces | Nylon | Water-resistant

Best Large Hanging

Bagsmart hanging toiletry bag.

This is an excellent value if you need to store full-size items.

The material is difficult to clean.

Bagsmart is known for making convenient travel products at affordable prices, and that's certainly true of its hanging toiletry bag. Before it's opened, the bag looks just like a little quilted briefcase; inside is an extraordinary amount of storage. Unzip the perimeter and the bag unfurls into four panels of hanging storage for your toiletries, which we found perfectly capable of storing just about every toiletry in the book save for full-size bottles of shampoo and body wash. While most of the storage compartments are variously sized zippered pockets, some actually have elastic bands to help hold your items in place.

The quilted material is made of polyester, which we found to be a little difficult to clean. It is water-resistant, though, and the texture adds a nice visual quality. Plus, it comes in ten colorways.

The Details: 12.6 x 9.1 x 4.3 inches | 15.2 ounces | Polyester | Water-resistant

Best for Cosmetics

Béis the cosmetic case.

The brush holder and mirror are removable.

The main compartment is pretty much just one big open space.

The clean, minimalist design that Béis is so loved for comes through in its cosmetic case: a sturdy bag with plenty of space for makeup aficionados. For starters, it's offered in eight elegant earth tone hues. But then there's the simple rectangular shape, which feels almost handbag-like in its sculptural form, as well as luxe hardware that adds to that handbag quality.

Though this bag can carry all types of toiletries, it's specifically designed with cosmetics in mind. That's evident from the removable mirror and brush holder, which has PVC material where the brush heads will go for easy cleaning. There are also a few slip pockets, which we found especially helpful for palettes. One thing to note, however, is that the main compartment of this toiletry bag is simply a vast space without any dividers to organize individual products so you might have to dig for your waterproof mascara . That said, we can report that nothing broke or spilled during evaluations.

The Details: 9.5 x 4 x 7 inches | 1.38 pounds | Polyester | Water-resistant

Best for Men

Bagsmart toiletry bag for men.

It opens wide with a double zipper.

It's made of canvas, which may be hard to clean but is water-resistant.

Fun fact: dopp kits were originally designed for men so it makes perfect sense why this one is designed to fit shaving and grooming products in particular. It's made of canvas for a rough-and-tumble look, and it's offered in seven colors (mostly neutrals, but also light pink) and two sizes. Though we consider it sturdy enough to stand on its own, we also found it flexible enough to be stuffed into a packed weekender.

As for storage capabilities, there's a main compartment that's accessible via a double zipper, which means the kit opens nice and wide for you to be able to access your items. That main compartment can fit bulkier items, while smaller items can fill the pockets along the sides. There are also two separate side pockets, one of which is designed to hold wet items.

The Details: 10.2 x 5.9 x 6.3 inches | 6.4 ounces | Canvas | Water-resistant

Best for Short Trips

Tumi response travel kit.

It opens like a clamshell.

It's not water-resistant.

Luxury brand Tumi doesn't only make high-end suitcases and travel bags — they also make high-end toiletry bags. Made from ballistic nylon (and offered in three colorways), this is one of the most durable toiletry bags out there, and it wouldn't be surprising if this bag lasted years, even with regular use.

Its best feature is the fact that it opens like a clamshell, with two distinct compartments in each half. That makes it easy to access everything in the bag, whether you're laying it flat on a countertop or you're hanging it via the attached hook. There are four pockets, including one water-resistant one, and two elastic loops to hold products like toothbrushes or razors. We think it’s a reasonably spacious bag, but only for travel-size products — that's why we recommend it for short trips rather than long ones.

The Details: 6.3 x 9.5 x 3.5 inches | 0.9 pounds | Ballistic nylon

Best Leather

Cuyana travel beauty case.

• Portability 4.5 /5
• Value 4.5 /5

This is a true luxury item with exquisite craftsmanship.

More care will need to be taken so spills don’t damage the leather.

Take one look at the Cuyana Travel Beauty Case, and it's clear that you're dealing with a luxury item. Made from Italian pebbled leather, this toiletry bag is extremely elegant in each of its three colors: ecru, soft rose, and black. We found that this is high-quality leather that's not so delicate you have to worry about damaging it when stuffing it in your backpack or weekender.

As for storage, there are two main compartments: one with an internal elastic pocket for storing larger items and another that has elastic straps to hold items like makeup brushes in place. They open like a clamshell, and between them is a detachable pouch for smaller items. The pouch is ideal for a few items that can be used to refresh your makeup on a travel day, but it can't hold enough products for a full face.

The Details: 6.2 x 10.2 x 3.1 inches | 1.6 pounds | Italian pebbled leather

MZ Wallace Mica Cosmetic Case

It's a no-nonsense bag — simply stash your stuff and go.

There's only one main compartment with a smaller zippered pocket.

The best thing about a pouch like this one is that it's very straightforward — all you have to do is toss in your items without giving much thought to organization. We loved this particular toiletry bag because it's more spacious than it seems at first glance. That's particularly true of the one zippered pocket inside: it was able to hold seven makeup brushes.

By the same token, the lack of organization might be frustrating to some. Depending on your preference, you might wish there were a few dividers or additional pockets to keep things a little tidier inside the bag. Still, the amount of space it has for items is impressive, and for some travelers, that might be just what they're looking for.

The Details: 9.49 x 4.02 x 5.98 inches | 0.23 pounds | REC Oxford

Best Budget

Wandf toiletry bag.

• Portability 4 /5

It comes in nearly 20 colors.

The main compartment only has one zipper, which makes it a little tough to retrieve items.

As you're probably well aware by this point, toiletry bags can get quite expensive — but they don't have to be. This is a particularly budget-friendly model, yet it accomplishes just about everything you'd need a toiletry bag to do. For one, it has multiple compartments. And for another, it's a water-resistant case, which means it can handle being splashed on a bathroom counter.

The compartments are both the success and the downfall of this toiletry bag. We were beyond impressed with the amount of space inside the main compartment, as well as with the two side compartments with mesh pockets. But we found that the main compartment was almost too spacious and could benefit from another divider of some kind. Given its size, it could also benefit from a double zipper opening, which would allow you to access more items throughout the bag than the existing single zipper.

The Details: 10.24 x 4.72 x 5.91 inches | 3.53 ounces | Nylon | Water-resistant

Other Toiletry Bags We Liked

• Dagne Dover Hunter Neoprene Toiletry Bag : We love the soft, water-resistant neoprene material of this bag, as well as the two detached pouches for easy organization. (And did we mention the colors? Those are beautiful, too!) Unfortunately, we found it to be a tight fit to squeeze both of the detachable pouches into the main bag when all three had items in them.
• State Bags Bensen Dopp Kit : This is a spacious bag with a detachable pouch for additional storage — there's not much to not like here. But we think it's a bit too expensive, and we found the hook to be too small to use in many cases. Because it's so spacious, it's best for longer trips, as we think it might take up a bit too much room in a carry-on bag.
• L.L.Bean Personal Organizer Toiletry Bag, Medium : A favorite for decades, this bag is the king when it comes to storage space and organization — there are pockets for just about everything. Some might find the sheer number of storage spaces to be overwhelming. But others, particularly those going on long trips or families who might be sharing a toiletry bag, will love the roominess.
• Baggu Dopp Kit : This bag packs flat, which is great when you need to store it somewhere. But when you expand it, you'll find that it's large enough to carry all of your toiletries and then some. The only thing we worried about was the durability of the materials. Though it did not fail any of our rigorous tests, we suspect it may wear out over time.

We tested 52 toiletry bags and cosmetics cases in our lab to determine the best products.

Testing started with an analysis of the bag when it was empty; we examined the materials, the construction, and the overall design.

Then we packed the bags with common travel essentials like toiletry bottles, makeup, and dental products, among other items. We then re-evaluated the design of the bag, noting overall capacity; convenience and security of organizational compartments, pockets, and pouches; closure functionality (such as zippers, magnetic clasps, and Velcro tabs); and overall sturdiness and stability of the bag.

Next, we put the bags into weekenders, carry-on luggage, and backpacks to see how they'd fit. We also carried around the larger bags to evaluate the feel of the toiletry bags in them.

Finally, we rated each toiletry bag on its capacity, design, portability, and value, all the while considering extra characteristics like the material's water-resistance, ease of cleaning, and any extra features, such as hanging straps or built-in mirrors.

Testing of the toiletry kits then continues for a period of six months on our real-world trips, and we will continue to update this article based on the results.

When the bag was fully packed, we placed it inside a large weekender bag to get a sense of its weight by carrying it around our lab. We also checked how much space the bag took up inside the weekender bag to determine if there was ample room to store other items, such as clothing and accessories. We then determined whether the bag would be suitable for weekend trips and/or longer vacations.

After rating for all attributes, we checked each bag's price to rate the overall value.

Tips for Buying a Toiletry Bag

Look at the design of the bag.

Some toiletry bags are voids — they have one cavernous space to fit all your items. But others are separated into compartments with pockets and pouches to keep your items in place. Depending on what you're storing in your toiletry bag, you might prefer more organizational tools than a single open space. Also consider the material; more durable, water-resistant materials are ideal for toiletry bags, since they'll be getting quite a bit of use on the road.

Consider capacity and the items you pack

What do you plan on putting in a toiletry bag? If you're a minimalist who carries very few toiletries — say, just face wash and toothpaste — you might only need a small case But if you have an extensive skincare routine — including sunscreen and after-sun lotion — and you travel with all your makeup, you'll need a bag with enough space for everything.

Think about portability

If you plan on taking your toiletry bag in your carry-on, you'll want it to be as compact and lightweight as possible to save room for everything else in your bag. And if you're packing liquids, gels, or aerosols, make sure your items’ sizes comply with the TSA's 3-1-1 rule . If you're checking your toiletry bag, though, you might have more flexibility with size and weight.

While a clear bag is not explicitly stated on all sections of the TSA website , this is the common practice and can speed things up at the security checkpoint. Toiletry bags that don't hold any liquids, as well as toiletry bags that will be checked in your suitcase (regardless of their contents), do not need to be clear.

Since toiletry bags frequently come into contact with liquids — either from leaking products or from the bathroom counter — water-resistant or waterproof materials are best. Another factor to consider is durability. Toiletry bags are typically fairly heavily used when you travel, so it's best to look for tear-proof fabric that will hold up over time.

A TSA-approved toiletry bag is one that meets the TSA's requirements for the 3-1-1 rule regarding liquids, aerosols, gels, creams and pastes packed in carry-ons. These products must be 3.4 ounces or 100 milliliters or less, and they all must fit in " 1 quart size, clear, plastic, zip top bag ."

You can pack just about anything in a toiletry bag, from heatless hair curlers to body washes to makeup. Depending on what you plan on putting in your toiletry bag, you may want to look for ones with special pockets — many toiletry bags have designated spots for items like makeup brushes or palettes to keep them secure.

What Should You Look For In A Hanging Travel Toiletry Bag?

There are three main characteristics that you should look for:

Organizational Features

You want to make sure you can keep your personal items neatly organized and easily accessible. Most single-sized compartment bags will take too much time to rummage around looking for what you need. So, look for multiple storage compartments so you can find what you want fast and easy.

Type Of Material

Most often, you won’t have to worry about your toiletry bag being waterproof. They usually are. Look for one that is also made out of tear-proof material. This will make it more durable and able to handle any abuse they endure during travel. Normally, the good-quality bags will have extra padding and lining to help protect against leaks. An antibacterial lining is great to help protect against bacteria which can form due to moisture.

Design Features

Most toiletry bags will have a hook or straps for you to hang them properly. Make sure these are strong and will be able to hold the weight of the items you put in it. I find the hook design to be the best choice. They are very easy to use and reliable. I have never had an issue with any hook design toiletry bag. If the bag is compact with many different-sized compartments, you will find it much easier to keep organized and take with you on your travels.

As you can see, there are many options for choosing a hanging toiletry bag. You have a great selection of colors, sizes, materials, and price to choose from. For the most part, they are inexpensive and will save you money in the end by protecting your toiletries. You really can’t go wrong with any of the items mentioned. Choose the one that suits you the best, it’s one of those purchases I’m so glad I made years ago!

Some Additional Questions

What size is a tsa-approved toiletry bag.

In your carry-on bag, there is no restriction on the size of your toiletry bag. However, when it comes to the liquid contents in your toiletry bag, the TSA says you may take one clear plastic quart-sized bag containing liquids, aerosols, gels, creams, and pastes. Each item cannot exceed 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) in volume.

Note – I always travel with a gallon size Ziploc bag instead of the quart sized ones and have never had an issue getting through TSA. These are the ones I use.

Can I put full-size shampoo in checked luggage?

3.4 ounces maximum is the maximum size of the container for liquids, gels, aerosols, and all containers must fit into a 1-quart plastic bag. Bags checked do not have those limits, so you can pack full-size containers of shampoos, lotions, toothpastes, and other restricted items.

What’s the difference between a Dopp kit and a toiletry bag?

Dopp kits are toiletry bags. But you probably already knew this, right? These small travel bags are used to store bathroom items by men and women. All your toothbrushes, shaving creams, moisturizers, etc., go in this bag to help you stay organized.

Does makeup need to be in a clear bag TSA?

You are permitted to carry on or check bags with solid or powder makeup, regardless of the amount or size and they don’t need to be in a clear bag. The only requirements for liquid makeup packed in carry-on bags are that it must be in a clear bag and that lotions, gels, pastes, or creamy forms must be in containers smaller than, or equal to 3.4 ounces (100 ml).

So, Best Hanging Travel Toiletry Bags

Hopefully you have found the right toiletry bag for you from this list! We looked at some of the highest quality toiletry bags on the market that are affordable, spacious, and durable.

After you've organized your suitcase or weekender, the next and possibly biggest challenge is to pack your toiletry bag. While this might seem an afterthought, it's a pretty important step, especially if you don't want to arrive at your destination and realize you forgot to pack your sunscreen or open your bag to spilled body wash. Whether you're more of a minimalist or carry your entire 10-step beauty routine with you, there's something for everyone. 

To help you find the right one, we tested 27 toiletry bags, rating them for capacity, design, portability, and value.

Final Verdict

Why Trust TripSavvy

Best overall, sea to summit hanging toiletry bag.

• Capacity 5 /5
• Design 5 /5
• Portability 5 /5

Designed for organization

Tough exterior

Plenty of thoughtful additions

Nothing yet

Sea to Summit's Travelling Light Hanging Toiletry Bag impressed our testers, earning top marks across all categories. The Australian outdoor gear brand has been on a mission to build the lightest, most durable gear for more than three decades. Our testers loved how much space this lightweight toiletry bag has and its numerous pockets. "This is a great hanging bag because you can store different-size products inside without feeling like you're weighing the bag down," one tester noted.

The Travelling Light Bag, which weighs less than 5 ounces, is made from Cordura nylon. This material helps keep the weight down and offers stretch, allowing room for all the toiletries. Our testers liked the bag's convenient features, including a carrying handle and hanging hook. "There are tons of pockets, a mirror, hooks to hang the bag, and other unique features that are perfect for every trip," a tester concluded.

Best Budget

• Design 4 /5
• Portability 4 /5

Generous amount of space

Very lightweight

Not very compact

The first thing to know about WANDF's Toiletry Bag is that it has a ton of capacity, so much so that our testers joked that it could double as an overnight bag. Jests aside, this was a popular bag because of how much it holds and how little it weighs (just 3.6 ounces). "This is a great buy for someone who wants to bring a lot of skincare or other products along with normal toiletries," one tester said.

The bag's water-resistant nylon is thin but durable. It has three pockets for good organization and a handle for easier transportation. Our testers did say that it might be hard to fit in a smaller bag, especially if you take advantage of the size and pack it to maximum capacity. If you're looking for a larger-capacity toiletry bag or simply a budget bag, this was our testers' top pick.

Size: 9.5 x 5.9 x 4.7 inches | Weight: 3.6 ounces | Material: Water-resistant nylon

Bagsmart Toiletry Bag

Very spacious

Zippered mesh pockets are helpful

Sturdy yet compressible

Customer reviews complain about the color

This classic-looking toiletry bag impressed our testers with its durable materials, organization potential, and smart features, including a waterproof pocket. The large-capacity toiletry bag is made from water-resistant polyurethane leather, features double zippers in the main compartment, and has mesh holders to keep items like toothbrushes in place.

"The material is classic, zippers are easy to zip, and the compartment with the waterproof coating is very handy and will be easy to clean," one tester noted. "It's structured enough to keep organized but still flexible enough to fit easily in a weekender bag." Our testers said they'd pay more for this than the minimal list price. "It's a great price for something that feels durable and will last for a long time," one tester concluded.

Size: 10.25 x 6.25 x 5 inches | Weight: 0.62 pounds | Material: Polyurethane leather

Best Hanging

Durable design

Easy to pack

Water-resistant material

Not the easiest to clean

Once you arrive at your hotel or vacation rental, finding a place to stash your toiletry bag can be tricky, especially if counter space is limited. Luckily, this bag's hook makes the most of limited or nonexistent space. This is a great way to keep items visible but still out of your way as you get dressed. The interior mesh pockets also help with visibility. There's even a smaller, removable compartment you can hang up.

"This bag fit all of the toiletries and still had room to spare, but only for travel-sized products," one tester said about the bag's capacity. "The design of this hanging bag was pleasantly sturdy." Our testers also liked the spacious organizational components and how the bag folds, which gives it a slim briefcase look. They also loved how easily the slender profile fits into a weekender bag.

Size: 12.6 x 9.1 x 4.3 inches | Weight: 15.8 ounces | Material: Polyester

Best Splurge

Away large toiletry bag.

Made of recycled materials

Stores bulky items well

Lets you see everything at a glance

Limited colors

For fans of the iconic suitcase brand, the toiletry bag is another worthy addition to your Away collection. Like many of Away's bags, this thoughtfully designed bag keeps your toiletries organized and separated. The clamshell opening displays items perfectly through the mesh and clear plastic interior pockets. The nylon material is easy to clean should you ever have a spill. Bonus: The bag can even be monogrammed on the front or back.

Thanks to some unique features, our testers loved how roomy this bag was. "I packed mostly large items, such as makeup brushes, foundation, and a compact mirror, and there was still tons of room to insert more," one tester reported. "There are different types of pockets inside the bag—one for makeup brushes, one clear pocket for makeup products, and others for whatever you'd like to put in."

The bag helped with organization, and our testers liked the top handle. "The fact that it can fit so many items and still not take up so much space says a lot about the bag. It can also carry a lot of weight," a tester noted. Our testers weren't the biggest fans of the nylon material but noted that it is water-resistant. And while they said bags with similar features could be found at a lower cost, they would still recommend this one. "I'd love to purchase it if it wasn't so pricey for a toiletry bag, but if you need organization and travel often, then this bag is a must," a tester concluded.

Size: 10.2 x 3.7 x 5.9 inches | Weight: 8.8 ounces | Material: Nylon

Best Organization

Peak design wash pouch.

Peak Design

Extra durable

Fits into other bags easily

Contains recycled materials

A bit on the pricey side

The first key to good organization is having plenty of room for all your toiletries. Peak Design's Wash Pouch offers exactly that, with our testers noting that they had plenty of room to fit all of their toiletries and then some. "I'd be able to put my skincare products in here along with several travel-sized toiletry bottles ," our tester said, noting that they loved the product's design. It also opens wide for easy packing and accessibility. "There were plenty of pockets and even a shallow zipper pocket to hold a toothbrush," our tester reported, also praising how it sits open upright on the counter on its own. Bonus: Despite the large size and roominess, it still packs down to a small size.

Size: 10.6 x 6 x 4.4 inches | Weight: 8.7 ounces | Material: Recycled, DWR-treated nylon

Best for Extended Trips

Dare to roam steward dopp kit.

Dare to Roam

Impressive capacity

Eco-friendly

Less likely to harbor microbes

Bulkier than other options

There's much to like about the Dare to Roam Steward Dopp Kit. It features responsibly sourced materials and ethically made construction. It uses antimicrobial and water-resistant materials—features we'd like to see in many more toiletry bags, considering the amount of liquid and moisture these containers are exposed to.

What our testers loved most about this particular toiletry bag was the amount of space available, making it ideal for extended trips. The main compartment has a ton of room and a two-way zipper entry. It also features side clips and adjustable webbing straps, making the bag expandable on both sides. Our testers had no problem fitting all their toiletries into the bag and then some. "This bag is designed well and is built to really hold up," a tester reported. "The handles and lightweight feel of the bag make it perfectly portable."

While this bag did take up a lot of space when packed in another bag, it's best used for extended trips on which travelers are likely to use larger luggage anyway.

Size: 4.5 x 8.7 x 4.7 inches | Weight: Not listed | Material: Polyester, nylon 

Best for Camping

Matador flatpak zipper toiletry case.

Back Country

• Capacity 4 /5

Stripped-down but serviceable

Built to last

One large pocket

May be too simplistic for some

Toiletry bags aren't only handy for traveling. They're also helpful when backpacking and camping. For that usage, we love Matador's FlatPak Toiletry Case. The FlatPak checks off three key boxes when looking for a camping- or backpacking-focused toiletry bag. It's super lightweight (1.1 ounces), it's fully waterproof, and it has one main compartment for easy access to all items. Simply put: It's a no-frills yet incredibly practical bag.

Our testers were impressed with the bag's capacity—it fits all toiletries without getting overly bulky. They also loved its durability, waterproof material, and how the bottom of the bag expands. "For someone who goes on lots of camping or rugged outdoor trips, this bag is a great value," one tester concluded.

Size: 9.5 x 6.75 x 3.5 inches | Weight: 1.1 ounces | Material: 30-denier Cordura nylon

Best Eco-Friendly

Cotopaxi nido accessory bag.

• Portability 4.5 /5
• Value 4.5 /5

Nice internal organization

Not ideal for extended trips

Cotopaxi's marketing slogan is "Gear for Good." This dopp kit, which features 100 percent recycled materials, definitely falls into that category, but besides being a responsibly created toiletry bag, it's simply a good toiletry bag. The bag has three compartments to separate different items, fits a reasonable amount of toiletries, and has a convenient side carry handle. Another huge step toward planet friendliness is the longevity and durability of the product. We love that this toiletry bag is constructed to last many years and maybe decades.

Size: 9 x 6 x 5 inches | Weight: 6.5 ounces | Material: Recycled nylon with a TPU coating 

Hitting it out of the park and claiming a perfect score on all our tests for capacity, design, portability, and value, the Sea to Summit Travelling Light Hanging Toiletry Bag is hard to beat. Another favorite of our testers for its generous capacity and reasonable price tag, the WANDF Toiletry Bag is light and comes in a range of bright and neutral colors.

To determine the products to include in this test, we researched the top-rated products on the market from multiple retailers, considered popular and traveler-loved brands, and relied on the knowledge of our travel editors and their experience with a variety of toiletry bags. We also aimed to include a variety of sizes, price points, and intended uses.

We tested all 27 toiletry bags in our New York City lab space. Bags were rated on a five-point scale and evaluated for capacity, design, portability, and overall value. We averaged scores across individual categories to give an overall score. Testers packed each bag with the types and quantities of toiletries that would last for a long weekend trip. Once the toiletry bags were packed, our testers took notes on how full the bags were and any unique organizational or structural features. Lastly, they placed the toiletry bags in weekender bags and carried them around to get a sense of how heavy the toiletry bags felt and how easily they could be packed into other pieces of luggage.

BÉIS Cosmetic Case : This case is sturdily built with a couple of thoughtful extras like a standing mirror and a separate sleeve for makeup brushes. With its generous capacity comes a larger footprint, which may be problematic in smaller carry-ons or weekenders. Finally, we felt the price was too high for the quality of the materials.

Calpak Clear Cosmetics Case : Another spacious pick, our tester could appreciate the capacity of this bag with its convenient carrying handle, though it needs to be packed full to keep the contents from jostling around wildly. The design and internal organization were OK but not as good as some others.

Dagne Dover Hunter Toiletry Bag : Overall, we liked the Hunter Bag. The soft neoprene exterior felt durable and easy to clean. The interior features a few pockets and two removable zipper pouches, which our tester said they would probably leave out to make better use of the space.

Everlane ReNew Catch-All Case : True to its name, the Catch-All is a roomy yet simple option with both internal and external pockets. It isn't particularly structured, so it would slip nicely into any other bag, but we worry the contents could easily be damaged or crushed.

State Bags Benson Dopp Kit : The Benson Dopp Kit is a hanging bag with a solid capacity and a well-designed interior. Because of its size, this isn't the ideal option for short trips, and we found similar models that just edged out this pick in terms of the quality of materials and design.

Tumi Response Travel Kit : Our testers were hard-pressed to find anything negative about this bag. It features a clamshell opening for easy packing, is roomy but remains a good choice for weekend getaways, and offers enough structure to protect your toiletries. The real downside is the luxury price, which we found hard to swallow.

What to Look For in a Toiletry Bag

Whether you want something you can quickly toss products into or a hyper-organized toiletry bag with ample pocket space is up to you, but it’s important to think about how organized you usually are. Our advice? Look at how your purse or backpack is organized (i.e., is it a massive tote you throw everything into, or is everything organized in its own little pocket or bag?) to figure out how you naturally travel.

TSA Requirements

If you're carrying your luggage on a flight with you, be sure your items meet TSA requirements —one quart-sized bag of containers holding liquids in quantities of no more than 3.4 ounces. If you are checking your luggage, some of the large-capacity bags on this list can come in handy for packing larger liquids. However, rather than putting all your products into a flimsy plastic bag, opt for a reusable zippered bag instead.

Hanging Capability

Sometimes, the hotel you're staying at won't have enough counter space for a toiletry bag, especially if you're traveling with others. If you want to ensure that things don’t get too cluttered, consider a bag that can hang from the towel hooks on the back of the bathroom door. Bonus: You can use it to free up space at home, too.

Because they are frequently in wet and humid surroundings, most toiletry bags are pretty easy to clean thanks to the functional materials used to make them. Simply wipe down the interior, usually made of nylon with a water-resistant coating. Toiletry bags that are made of faux or genuine leather or polyester can be spot-cleaned.

If you plan to fly and take your liquids onboard with you, make sure to follow the TSA requirements, which allow one quart-sized bag of containers up to 3.4 ounces each. While it's not required to have a clear toiletry bag, if your bag is pulled for further inspection, it might speed up the process if the security agent can easily see what you've packed.

To recommend the best toiletry bags out there, we tested 27 items across various brands and price points in our New York City lab space, scoring each on its capacity, durability, portability, and value.

The author of this article,  Nathan Allen , is TripSavvy's Outdoor Gear Editor. He regularly takes toiletry bags on flights, road trips, and backpacking and camping trips. His go-to toiletry bag is the  Cotopaxi Nido  for its functionality, size, durability, and planet-friendliness.

Best Travel Toiletry Bag for Women

Whether you’re a long-term traveler or love your weekend getaways, a reliably great toiletry bag is an essential travel companion that every adventurer needs! This allows you to bring all your favorite products and not have to stress about buying anything at your destination or relying on an Airbnb or a hotel to provide things like shampoo or conditioner.

For a complete breakdown of how to prepare your toiletries for travel, read our ultimate guide to toiletries !

When it comes to toiletry bags, it’s important to me to feature products that are tried and tested either by our readers or by myself, I ordered a bunch of the most popular styles the TFG community raved about in order to check them out and give my review. Watch the video here:

Stick with me on this video as I break down several travel hanging toiletry bags at once !

Though I wasn’t sure about all the bags in my video, I definitely came out with ones I used over time, and found some new discoveries that I share further down the article!! When it comes to picking the perfect one, we’ve broken down the best features and shared the best styles among various categories.

But first, I want to address some FAQs that we consistently receive about toiletry bags.

The Bagsmart Hanging Toiletry Bag is #1 for readers due to its numerous water-resistant pockets to keep everything in its place–read more below!

What is a Toiletry Bag?

Toiletry bags are travel pouches designed to hold everything from your toothbrush and toothpaste to shampoo and conditioner to skincare and makeup! These bags will keep all of your toiletries organized and mess-free and allow for easy packing within your suitcase.

Though some travelers opt for plastic baggies or pouches, travel toiletry bags are way more durable, have organizational features, and will keep you so much more organized. You’ll be able to use a quality toiletry bag trip after a trip, too.

Some travelers choose to buy their products at their destination rather than packing them, though that can be quite expensive and isn’t very practical for trips that aren’t long-term. And if you have specific beauty products that you just can’t live without, then it’s definitely worth packing them in a toiletry bag and bringing them along with you!

If you’re worried about the extra space toiletries might take up in your suitcase, we’ve compiled this ultimate guide to downsizing your toiletries so you can save space but still bring the essentials. Take a look at the best travel containers to decant your products into!

The non-hanging Away Toiletry Bag has many broad compartments to fit everything (more on it further down!)

What is the Best Toiletry Bag for Travel?

Not all toiletry travel bags are created equal, and there are many different styles to choose from depending on your packing style, products, and the trip you’re planning.

If you’re traveling with a carry-on only, you may want to opt for a slimmer option that can pack flat. Flatter toiletry bags allow for more versatility with packing, though the shape and size depend on your packing strategy and the products you’re bringing. Of course, checking a bag gives you a bit more freedom with the size of your toiletry bag, so you may want to look for options that have plenty of organizational features and spacious compartments.

Luggage space aside, one common issue when it comes to toiletry bags is having enough countertop space to store them. If you’re a budget traveler and staying at a hostel or smaller accommodation, or if you’re backpacking or camping, I’ve found that there’s usually very little to no counter space to put your stuff, which is where a womens hanging toiletry bag comes in handy.

If organization is important to you, there are many travel toiletry bag women’s styles that feature pockets and compartments to stay organized. Or, if you prefer to see everything clearly in a single place, you might prefer the simplicity of dopp kits and cosmetic bags for your toiletries.

The Calpak Terra Hanging Toiletry Bag has tons of features that users love to organize their toiletries (more details below)!

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Toiletry Bag

Each toiletry bag comes with unique designs, materials, and organization. Here’s what to look out for when choosing your ideal womens toiletry bag:

Hook for hanging   – One of the most important features in a toiletry bag that I look for is a hanging handle. That way, the bag will stay nice and dry rather than sitting on a wet counter and is very convenient if countertop space is limited, whether a small hotel, a cruise ship, or a campsite!

Shape – Many toiletry bags tend to be on the bulky side, which is fine for checked luggage, but if you’re traveling with a smaller bag, then look for something flatter and wider rather than tall and bulky. Consider how you pack your suitcase and the available space left over for your toiletry bag when deciding on the right shape.

Size – I’ve found that several toiletry bags on the market are quite big, so if you’re planning on packing your toiletry bag in your carry-on or personal item, you’ll likely want to choose a more slim and packable option. You don’t want your toiletry bag to take up half of your suitcase!

Fabric – The best toiletry travel bag will be water-resistant or won’t absorb water easily, as it’s likely to get wet sitting on the bathroom counter. Interior lining is another great feature, as you’ll be able to wipe away spills easily. Spills and leaks aren’t uncommon when flying, both due to cabin pressure and getting knocked around, so a bag that’s easy to keep clean is vital.

Closures and Pockets – You’ll want your toiletry bag to last a while, so strong closures and sturdy pockets that’ll hold up to being packed full are very important to keep in mind. One factor that I’m very particular about with all of my travel gear is zippers, so always try to look for sturdy, high-quality zippers – you never want to have to deal with broken gear during your trip!

Organization – Many toiletry bags feature extensive interior organization, while others (such as dopp kits and cosmetic bags) offer a spacious interior that allows you to pack it however you want. If you like organization, look for mesh pouches and transparent pockets that’ll allow you to see everything clearly!

Now that the vital questions are answered,  please review this ultimate guide for the best women’s toiletry bag for travel. From hanging to non-hanging to dopp kits, there is guaranteed to be a bag for any purpose or trip!

I purchased the Bagsmart hanging bag. Took it on a car trip and it worked great. However, I’m a little confused by the two rows of of elastic loops in the middle section. What am I missing?

I love the eBag pack it flat bag. No matter how much toiletries I stuff in this bag it remains flat and fits in my suitcase.

I bought the Bagsmart hanging toiletry bag medium size and it was a lifesaver! So easy to find what I needed!

Sea to Summit is a great size and very light weight. The fabric adds minimal bulk which is a huge plus for me!

Thanks for these recommendations! Packing toiletries is still my biggest challenge.

My family got me the Bagsmart travel bag for my birthday. I don’t think they even know about this blog, haha!

Hi Alex, I absolutely love the hanging toiletry bag. I bought one for me and my husband bought one for him. We love them. We purchased the TRAVELON. Very convenient easy to use and love that it hangs in the in the bathroom great tip. I also purchased the small containers for pills and make up and that has really saved room for other things in that bag. Thank you for the tip.

I always struggle to organize my toiletries. Usually I just take them and toss them into a bag and then have to search through everything to find what I want. These sound like just the thing I need to make it both easy to pack and easy to find what I need while on vacation!

Love these suggestions. Great insight!

These are great options. I’m pretty good at packing light with clothing but the toiletries are my challenge. I’m looking forward to organizing in one of these.

Highly recommend another toiletry bag by Travelon as well as I keep my liquids in a separate clear bag.

Travelon Compact Hanging Toiletry Kit

Been known to see it at TJ Maxx for a great price. Happy hunting!

Great topic. I find my travel toiletry necessities change, depending on whether I’m doing an overnight, weekend or or two week trip overseas. It’s nice to have choices and you have some very practical ideas. As well as pretty ones.

I have 3 of these but call me Goldilocks, I’m still searching! Someone gifted me the Bagsmart and I never use it – too big for my carry on. I have been using the Bago and it works fine if I don’t put anything in the sides and re-organize once I put liquids back in. Material is stiff so it doesn’t pack down much. It has lasted many years, trips and spills so I keep using it. My teenage kids use the Norway. It’s cheap and won’t last too long but it was compact and functional for a month-long trip.

Thank you for the recommendation for the Travelon Flatout toiletry bag. I took it on a 3 week trip to the UK this past summer, and it was really nice to have a hang up option in the many small bathrooms we found in our AirBnb.

It looks like this list is now 10 years old. Are these recommendations still valid? You featured this list again today in your blog/email. Thanks for your reply!!

Hi Mary, yes they are. We update this article regularly!

I love my Lug Trolley when I’m traveling for more than 2 days. It has a place for everything ( even a full size can of mousse). For shorter trips, I use my Bagsmart cosmetic bag.

Thanks for sharing your go-to toiletry bags with us Joanne. Happy travels!

Happy 10 year anniversary! Looking to replace my 20 year old toiletry bag that finally came apart on my trip last month. Will look in to these options!

Happy 10th Anniversary! I would like a new toiletry bag and appreciate the advice on this post.

Happy 10 year Anniversary! 💖

I appreciate these tips. I have spent money on a couple of different tolietry bags, only to find that they are not very useful or are too bulky. Lately I have been using Ziploc bags for certain items and a packing cube for my hair care items.

I love how all the categories for traveling carry-on are whittled down for us, complete with reviews, user comments, and tips! I get lost in your website every time I visit… in a GREAT way I mean! One subject, link, idea etc leads to another. I find that if I stick to just shoes for instance.. I’m better off not getting too distracted until I’m satisfied that I know what I want. ha Then on to luggage, capsule packing & cubes, and not to mention all the information on FaceBook that I read. Thank you for all that you do!

The Gonex Hanging Toiletry Kit was a game changer for my recent safari. Compact, lots of pockets and my quart size bag fit right inside the largest compartment so I could just pull it out to go through security.

Thank you for this thorough info!

I read every word of this article many times. Finally I bought the Travelon Flat Out Toiletry Bag. I used it for 2 weeks in Europe and 4 weeks in Latin America this summer. I saw every bathroom imaginable. I found it well made and loved the clear pockets. I loved I could lay it flat or fold it. Best was that the hook was a clippable loop. This meant I could hang or hook it in places where a hanger-hook style would not have worked. Thanks for the advice and being as obsessed as I am!

Alex. I love my D&D Hanging toiletry bag. I watched your video on downsizing items in you toiletry bag. Very helpful. I purchased the small containers I I loved them. I even have extra room for a last minute item! Thank you!

I purchased the BAGSMART and love it. I just bought their cord organizer bag. And, this year for birthday’s I am buying that combo for my daughters. I keep them packed and ready to go and it has made traveling so much easier.

I love the hanging bags. I wish I could find a nice clear one for tsa/ carryone.

I love my Bagsmart travel bag! Thank you for recommending it.

The best ever were Galante bags. They’d bi-or triple fold; have 7 see-through zip compartments and a big enough hanger for a towel bar or even shower rod. They offered several attractive print fabrics for the outside. And they last many years. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to reach them by phone or email, so I don’t know if they’re still manufacturing. I’m happy to submit a picture if someone wants to create more!

Hi Charlotte, thank you for sharing your recommendation of Galante bags with us, that is such a shame if they have stopped manufacturing them 🙁 Happy travels!

I compared eBags pack it flat and Bagail pack it flat. I found that any bag that folds over itself adds too much bulk. I use the eBags for my toiletries and the Bagail for my cosmetics and brushes.

I like both of these bags. Lightweight, expandable, good organizational pockets and compartments. Since Bagail is quite a bit less expensive I recommend that one over eBags. I could probably get everything into one but like having cosmetics separated from my regular toiletries. I can easily carry both of them in my personal item on the plane.

Hi Marlaine, this is a really helpful comparison, thank you for sharing it with us. Happy travels! ?

I do not use a toiletry bag. I use as many 1qt ziplock bags as I need. One for makeup, one for shower stuff, one for tooth care, one for bandaids, one for hair stuff, etc. I label each with a permanent marker and they are see-through, never very full, and really easy to tuck into tiny spaces in your carry-on bag. You can pull them out at a hotel as you need them. I have never gone back to toiletry bags because they are so bulky!

Hi Shirley, thank you for taking the time to share your insight with us! 🙂

This is a great idea! I tend to fill up all the space available in any bag, so eliminating the bag all together and just using ziplocks that can fit in random places is genius! Can’t wait to try this on my next trip!

Is there a bag that has a removable TSA regulation pouch? I hate having two bags, one clear for TSA and one with everything else. I’d love to find one that has a snap in or zip in TSA pouch. Anything out there?

Hi Michelle, I am afraid that I do not have any suggestions to share with you 🙁 To get you some ideas, I have gone ahead and scheduled your question on TFG’s FB page, our readers have great recommendations to share, so keep an eye out for their replies from Sunday: https://www.facebook.com/TravelFashionGirl/ Hope this helps!

I use the Travelon Wet/Dry quart bag (which is not mentioned in this blog post but it was recommended in another article on TFG) and it has gone through TSA checkpoints several times with no issue, even though it is not removable.

Hi I have see through zip up “sandwich bag” style bags for my toiletries as, if you are going carry on these are the weightiest items and I put them into my handbag which can be taken out when getting inspected by customs as they can see through to make sure items are only 100mls each.

I’m using roadeavour’s travel toiletry kit! The best thing i had!

Hi! Thanks for the article – always good stuff here. One things perplexes me though – I find that any toiletry bag on the market, even on this list – has the “convenience” of a hook for hanging. But, pretty much most of the time I travel there is no where appropriate to hang a bag, and if there is, everything in the bag just pops out due to the weight of the items in the bag as it loses it’s shape. Quite frustrating. I have considered alternative bags, such as fishing tackle bags or electronics accessories, but I wanted to know if you can think other bags that might avoid this problem?

Hi Sarah, we also have a list of the best hanging toiletry bags: https://www.travelfashiongirl.com/best-hanging-toiletry-bag-for-women/

She said that hanging a bag is inconvenient but you send her to a sight for hanging toiletry bags! I too find this problem. There is no place to hang one, or if there is the place is far from convenient. Also everything falls out of the open compartment. Very frustrated.

My LL Bean hanging bag does not ever fall forward and things do not tip out. All 3 net pockets zip from left to right. It also has side pockets for taller items which zip separately from the main compartments. I have always found a place to hang it in hotels, air bnbs, cruise ships etc., either at the end of a towel rack, or behind the bathroom door if there’s a hook there, or from the shower rod in a pinch. That way if there’s only a pedestal sink I’m never stuck. I think it’s maybe the way you arrange your items? I can post a photo if it would help? I never even unpack it at home-it hangs on a hook behind the bathroom door so I can easily access it every day, and grab and go for quick packing in a hurry.

Hi, I’ve had the same problem sometimes, so have started using an old fashioned shower curtain hook as an alternate or additional way to secure the hanging bags. It does keep it from falling over too if you attach it to tha bag’d handle.

I am also used this types of bags….my bag color is in pink with phulka dot..Its look amazing…

I need something big enough to hold big bottles of shampoo conditioner and lotion any recommendations?

Hi Rhonda, I’d suggest measuring your bottles then checking the dimensions of a toiletry bag to ensure you can find one that fits your items.

so…. nice bags but what do you do with your liquids as you go through TSA? They must be separated into a quart size bag, correct?

Yes they do, read these tips for more info: https://travelfashiongirl.com/3-1-1-liquids-rule/

I now use 2 separate, small Sea to Summit bags. They are clear plastic on one side so I can see everything. They are opaque nylon on the other side. To keep a neat appearance in my hotel bathroom, I turn the bag over on the bathroom counter and have the fabric side up to hide contents. I don’t want any more clutter in a hotel room or bathroom than is already necessary. One bag is dry toiletries, the other is for liquid. When I go through TSA, I take the liquid one out for them to look at if asked. They are two different colors. This is really working for me.

Great idea!

Ditto! And it works very well!

Love my Tumi Monaco Travel Kit, it’s a hanging bag with four sections, three with transparent faces so you can see what’s in that section, and one that’s a smaller pouch that’s solid and can be zipped of and used separately. Two of the pouches are a single space, one pouch has dividers, they all zip close. I’ve had product seep and it hasn’t made it beyond the pouch it’s stored in. Spills clean up easily.

Oh great suggestion Lisa! Glad you’ve found something that works so well for you! Happy travels!

I love my Rick Steves toiletry bag. It is similar to the ebags flat bag, but it was a separate hanging bag that holds 3 travel size toiletry items (shampoo, conditioner, face wash, in my case), and has two loops (razor and pumice stick). I can hang that in the shower for shower use even when there aren’t any shelves there.

My husband has the same bag (in black instead of my yellow) and he also loves it.

He has great products!

About your recommendation… I Really like and I would choice the “Rei Grande Shower Kit”, I hope this is practical an easy to packing in a Bagpack Foirpoint 55 L

Nice article on a subject that doesn’t much coverage. Personally, I love my Christian Dior waterproof toiletry bag. it has lots of pockets, is perfect for my mini perfumes and cosmetics and is slim and classically beautiful. They don’t make them any more but you can find them just by Googling “christian dior waterproof toiletry bag”.

Thanks! I’ll check it out 🙂

Sea to Summit makes a super light-weight hanging toiletry kit.

thanks for your feedback!

Thanks for recommending! I’m about to purchase this one based on reviews of some of these others listed and it seems actually small enough but still has capacity.

I’ve been using my L.L. Bean toiletry bag since I was 18 and swear by it. Europe, Asia and America it has held up and was a convenient design.

Definitely a traveler’s favorite 🙂 Thanks for reading and commenting!

Hanging toiletry bag size

If you go for a medial hanging travel toiletry bag, it’s perfect for long trips since it can hold more compared to small size travel toiletry bags. While the large travel toiletry bag and the extra-large toiletry bag can be used to pack toiletries for more than one person.

They are also good for carrying essentials for a day at the beach or a trip to the gym.

Toiletry bag pockets

The best hanging travel toiletry bags offer clear and mesh interior and exterior pockets. Travel toiletry bags that set with clear pockets allow you to see your toiletries without having to unpack all your items. The mesh pockets dry easily and help to keep your items better organized rather than stacking them all on top of each other. So, the more pockets your cosmetic toiletry bag has, the easier it will be for you to organize and access your travel bottles, lotions, etc. Another good feature of the best travel toiletry bags with detachable pockets is that you have the option to change the size of the bag to fit the cabin luggage, suitcase, backpack and carry on .

A top airline-approved toiletry bag has elastic straps to allow you to better organize your slim items such as toothbrushes, razors, etc. A hanging toiletry bag with elastic loops keeps your personal care, beauty products, and travel accessories in place during the trip. You also wouldn’t have to unpack because you will be able to easily access your travel items while the bag is hung.

Sturdy bottom

Top travel cosmetic bags feature solid material and a flat sturdy base to make sure your toiletries stay upright throughout the trip while hanging and sitting on the shelf. A personal toiletry bag with this feature can prevent spills and keep your clothes clean.

Waterproof material

The best travel toiletry organizer bag comes with water-resistant pockets and outer fabric. These top waterproof travel bags for toiletries can prevent leaks and contain the mess in case of spills. It’s an important feature to look for when buying a travel toiletry bag for men or women.

Not to mention some bathrooms don’t have shelves to put your toiletries. It’s also more hygienic, easier to organize and you don’t lose them when travel accessories are inside your mesh toiletry bag.

The best travel cosmetic bags/cases offer a thick padding on the bottom and on the sides of the small toiletry bags to protect your bottles and small travel essentials. If your custom toiletry bag doesn’t have padding, it doesn’t keep the sturdy shape and goes off balance easily so your small travel bottles will go from upright to sideways.

All types of TSA toiletry bags

Toiletry bags in many shapes, designs, and materials. Therefore, it’s important for you to know the types to be able to make the decision on which one is best for you. To make it easier for you we added the most popular and useful travel toiletry bags for women and men in this buying guide.

Clear travel toiletry bags

Also called see-through toiletry bag, it is very common among female travelers. Usually, these bags don’t have a hanging hook and compartments. They are transparent and TSA-approved to carry liquids inside the plane.

Most travel bottles come with a clear bag so you don’t have to buy another one. But if don’t have one, read on to the bottom of this travel toiletry bag buying guide. Note that most airlines wouldn’t let you take liquid (3 oz) in your carry-on bag unless they are inside a clear toiletry bag.

Flat toiletry bag

Also called rolling toiletry bag, they are popular due to the little space they take. After folding they are similar to a tablet.

These tri-fold cosmetic toiletry organizers with a hanging hook are also usually expandable and feature mesh and clear pockets for your liquids. If you are going on a short trip, these slim toiletry bags are convenient.

Leather travel toiletry bags

Sometimes referred to as TSA-approved shaving Dopp kit. They come in many shapes and designs and very popular as men’s travel toiletry bags.

The majority of these men’s luxury toiletry bags, don’t have hanging hooks, so it’s something to be aware of when buying a leather toiletry bag.

Mesh portable travel toiletry pouch

Also popular as a nylon mesh cosmetic organizer bag, they are very popular among women. They are super lightweight (10g) easy to dry and clean. These bags have usually equipped with a zipper to open and close and don’t have a compartment.

So, you can’t really organize all your travel items inside one of them. However, they are usually sold in a pack of 6 pieces to allow you to put every cosmetic and travel necessity item inside one of them.

Cosmetics/makeup case with hardcover

It’s another type of travel toiletry that has velcro compartments to allow you to adjust each internal section depending on the size of your items.

These bags usually hold less than soft hanging toiletries bags and they don’t have a hanging hook. However, some of these waterproof toiletries makeup bags can prevent any spill inside your carry-on luggage.

Hanging toiletry bags

The last type is the one of this review, the travel hanging toiletry bag. It’s probably the most popular and practical type of toiletry bag that comes with multiple compartments to allow you to easily organize your items. The best hanging toiletry bags make traveling easy as you don’t have to unpack your items every time you travel.

Pack them once and when it’s time to use them hang the bag to access every single item without taking the other items out of the bag. These men’s and women’s travel toiletry bags also feature detachable pouches to help you decide how many accessories to take with you.

The TSA-approved toiletry bag

The materials and the size of men’s or women’s hanging travel toiletry bags meet the TSA regulations as they are small. However, what you put inside your personalized toiletry bag also affects whether it’s TSA-approved or not. The list of the items not allowed in the carry on luggage is long and sometimes varies depending on the country and airlines.

Therefore, for peace of mind, we suggest you check out the website of the airline you are taking. Note that you’ll have to remove liquids and place them in a clear quart bag unless you have TSA pre-clearance. We included some TSA-approved clear toiletry bags in this review. So, if your shower toiletry bag doesn’t have clear detachable pockets, we suggest you also get yourself a separate clear makeup bag to put your liquids in.
