This toiletry bag earns rave reviews for its compact design and variety of internal compartments, which include four mesh pockets, a zip pocket and a magnetic pocket designed for your toothbrush. The bag is also versatile – its structured build means it won't flop over when you set it on the bathroom counter, while an attached hook allows you to use it as a hanging toiletry bag as well. Available in black and sage (as well as a larger size ), the Peak Design Small Wash Pouch is weatherproof and easy to clean.

What our editors say:

This toiletry bag perfectly fits all of my travel-sized essentials for a trip and I love the separated compartment pockets. It's pretty small and its soft exterior makes it easy to shove into a carry-on or a personal item without taking up too much room. It also sits upright on its own, which is a nice touch. – Erin Evans , Managing Editor

Price: $49.95 or less

Dimensions: 6 x 9 x 5 inches

If you're looking for a Dopp kit (a style of toiletry bag, typically with a side handle), the Nido Accessory Bag – Cada Día is a solid choice. The toiletry bag offers three compartments as well as an interior zippered pocket. Plus, it's available in Cotopaxi's vibrant color combinations.

The Nido Accessory Bag can fit a lot – much more than I expected, in fact. I can pack my electric toothbrush (with its case!), a full-sized toothpaste, a hairbrush, makeup and more. Even with how much it can fit, I don't find that the bag takes up a lot of space in my carry-on. I especially love the Nido's three different compartments (plus a zippered pocket) to organize my toiletries and accessories. – Leilani Osmundson , Senior Digital Producer

Price: $45 or less

Courtesy of Topo Designs

Dimensions: 5.5 x 11 x 5.5 inches

Not only does the triangular shape of this toiletry bag make it unique, but it also allows the bag to stand upright on its own. The Topo Designs Dopp Kit is bigger than it looks, and its main compartment offers plenty of space for all the necessities including a razor. The bag is available in a variety of bright two-toned styles and solid colors.

The Topo Designs Dopp Kit's bright colors and unique triangular shape inspired my initial purchase, but its versatility and durability quickly made it my go-to toiletry kit for every type of travel. The spacious bag works just as well in my carry-on as on a camping trip and has stood up to countless spilled shampoos and exploded toothpaste tubes. The Dopp kit stays upright on counters, while the attached hook makes it easy to hang and dry. – Zach Watson , Senior Editor

Price: $34 or less

Courtesy of Lug

Dimensions: 4 x 8.75 x 3.75 inches

Lug's Trolley Mini Cosmetic Case is perfect for both toiletries and makeup. Inside, the main compartment features a patterned lining and two zippered pockets: one on the back wall and another on the lid. On the outside, there are two side pockets plus a front pocket with a divider for even more organization.

I've had this toiletry bag for four years, and it is the first thing I pack for every trip! I absolutely adore its compact design, multiple zippered compartments that make it easy to reach your essentials without having to sort through an entire toiletry bag, and the wipeable interior (for when that foundation or shampoo leaks in transit). For longer trips, I have the Lug Trolley , which can even fit a curling iron. – Rachael Hood , Senior Editor

Price: $49 or less

Courtesy of Wildkin

Dimensions: 5 x 9.5 x 5 inches

Available in a wide variety of playful colors and patterns (think: trucks and mermaid scales ), the Wildkin Toiletry Bag is perfect for kids. The bag offers a spacious main compartment plus an internal zippered mesh pocket and an external zippered pocket.

I bought this bag to coordinate with my son's Wildkin Overnighter Duffel . The quality of both bags is top-notch, and I know we'll be able to use them for a long time. – Amanda Norcross, Senior Content & SEO Strategist 

Price: $24.99 or less

Courtesy of L.L. Bean

Dimensions: 12.5 x 11.5 x 4 inches

The L.L. Bean Personal Toiletry Bag is a classic, and the largest size is perfect for weeklong trips and even multiple family members. In addition to having a variety of internal and external pockets, this hanging toiletry bag can hold up to 25 pounds. Available in a variety of colors, it also features a carry strap and tote handle as well as a small mirror.

While this kit comes in a few sizes, the large is my favorite. It fits everything I need for a trip, from shower essentials to makeup to medicine. The plastic front on the upper two compartments is beginning to wear away, but I can deal with that considering I've had mine for more than 10 years (if not longer). – Marisa Méndez , Senior Editor

Dimensions: 5.5 x 8.3 x 3.15 inches

If you're looking for a small toiletry bag that can be used for short trips, this is the one. But don't let the small size (and name) of this toiletry bag fool you. Two interior zippered compartments – one clear, one mesh – are big enough to hold all of your travel-size toiletries plus medications for even longer trips, and the zippered exterior pocket is perfect for makeup wipes. When you inevitably get the bag wet, its water-resistant nylon material makes it easy to wipe dry. The Small Toiletry Bag is available in black, navy, blue gray and white.

This is the toiletry bag equivalent of Mary Poppins' bag. It holds way more than it looks like it can. – Amanda Norcross

Price: $55 or less

Dimensions: 8 x 8.31 x 3.5 inches

Not only is this hanging toiletry bag well organized, but it also costs less than $15 at Target. The toiletry bag has a built-in hanger, four mesh pockets (two of which have zippers) and an additional compartment that can hold travel-size (or even full-size) toiletries and makeup. It also has an external tote handle. The Open Story Small Hanging Toiletry bag is currently available in light blue.

I've used this toiletry bag for a couple years now, and it's great for my travel needs. The hanging hook saves me a lot of space, and there's plenty of organization inside – all for an incredibly affordable price. – Catriona Kendall , Editor

Price: $12.99 or less

Dimensions: 6.5 x 9.5 x 3.5 inches

For a clear toiletry bag that makes it easy to see all of your essentials – plus a faux leather trim and matte gold zippers that make it just plain pretty – frequent travelers recommend this option by Fawn. Two interior compartments are large enough to hold both toiletries and makeup, and top grab handles make it easy to pull out of your luggage and transport wherever you go.

I was initially drawn to this bag for its clear vinyl compartments, but after using it for about a year I've been pleasantly surprised by how many items it can hold. I'm able to fit all my travel-size skin care and hair care products, and it doesn't take up too much space in my carry-on. It's also very easy to clean. – Ann Henson , Assistant Managing Editor

Price: $59.99 or less

Best Leather: Mark & Graham Dual Travel Organizer – Large

Courtesy of Mark & Graham

Dimensions: 6 x 9.5 x 2.25 inches

This toiletry bag is both elegant and efficient. Crafted with vegan leather, it's available in eight colors, including red, blush, camel, white and navy, all of which are accented by gold zippers. The toiletry bag has two spacious compartments and conveniently sits upright on flat surfaces.

I really like my large Dual Travel Organizer from Mark and Graham. The main compartment can hold your basic makeup essentials and a travel-sized toothbrush, and the bottom zippered section is ideal for jewelry, a contact lens case or hair ties. The vegan leather material is both soft and environmentally friendly, and you can also get the bag monogrammed for a personal touch. – Nicola Wood , Senior Editor

Price: $99 or less

This article has been updated with new information since its original publish date.

Used by: Madison Flager , senior commerce editor

How long I’ve been using it: Since 2019; I use this one when I'm traveling with just a carry-on.

Why I like it : The Peak Design bag is water-resistant, making it easy to clean up any spills, and I like that there is a specific compartment for my toothbrush and another for my razor. Inside, there are a ton of small pouches to keep items organized. It’s my go-to for a long weekend trip.

3 products you’ll always find inside :  Cadence Capsules , my  Quip toothbrush , and  contact solution .

How long I’ve been using it: Nine months; it is the one I use when I'm checking a bag.

Why I like it : If I’m traveling for a week or more, I’ll bring Calpak’s clear cosmetic case in the large size. I’ll admit, I was overwhelmed by the size when it first arrived, but it does fit absolutely everything—toiletries, skincare, make-up, even my hairbrush, vitamins, and full-size contact solutions—and it’s nice to have everything in one place. Plus, the clear design means I can double-check that everything’s there at a glance.

Used by: Meaghan Kenny , associate commerce editor

How long I’ve been using it: Eight months

Why I like it : This floral toiletry bag is so functional and versatile: it works just as well to organize makeup products and tech accessories as it does toiletry essentials. I recently brought it with me on a weekend trip and I was so impressed with how much I could fit inside this seemingly small bag. I was able to keep my travel-size face wash and moisturizer laying flat inside, along with other must-haves like sunscreen and deodorant. I used the two elastic slip pockets to keep Q-tips and my contact lenses separate from everything else. I also utilized the thin slip pockets on the top of the bag for my go-to lip balm and lip liner. The bag is compact enough that it didn’t take up much room in my weekender bag, but still tall enough that some products can stand up straight inside, like my contact solution and small Vaseline tub. Bonus: It’s made of water-resistant fabric and features a top handle to easily carry it around.

3 products you’ll always find inside : I never travel without my  Supergoop! Unseen sunscreen ,  Vaseline , and a  travel-size CeraVe hydrating face wash .

Used by: Talia Abbas , senior commerce editor at Glamour

How long I’ve been using it:  A year and a half

Why I like it:  There’s something about Ceremonia 's colorful "market" pouch that puts me in instant vacation mode. It’s more of a makeup bag than a traditional Dopp kit, with a single main zippered compartment and no internal pockets, but that’s why I love it. Well, that and the fact that it’s also very cute and handmade from upcycled materials. It has a spill-proof lining—ideal for throwing greasy sunscreen bottles and my smudgy Marvis toothpaste in—and can fit about a weekend’s worth of product, which is really all I need and tend to use anyway (even on longer trips). Did I mention it’s also a great beach bag companion?

3 products you’ll always find inside: Victoria Beckham's Future Lash , which gives the prettiest natural lift and rinses off with warm water; the  fragrance oil I wear every day; and extra  slip silk scrunchies , because you never know when one will vanish into the void.

Used by: Paris Wilson , commerce producer

How long I’ve been using it: 10 months

Why I like it:  The space inside surprised me the most. I travel very light, and that applies not only to my carry-on but my toiletries as well. I take only the necessities. The toiletry case comes with five individual pockets that line the interior which is surprisingly roomy; if that’s not enough, then I can always stack my toiletries on top of one another in the center. I’ll often worry about my toiletry bottles becoming loose and leaking onto my clothes, but the one time I did have a mishap my anxiety was quelled once I saw the bag kept it contained.

3 products you’ll always find inside:   Sol de Janiero Brazilian Bum Bum Cream ,  La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair UV SPF Moisturizer, and the  Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Parfum in the travel-size bottle.

This toiletry bag has four separate compartments and a metal hook inside, providing ample storage space for your items and an easy way to keep it off the hotel bathroom counter. With two main compartments and two foldable side panels, you'll be able to store bulkier items inside while using the side panel pockets for smaller essentials.

Pros -Optimal space for longterm travel -Top handles make it easy to carry -4.8 stars

Cons -The space inside is very compact

The Telena toiletry bag is made of a durable, waterproof polyurethane leather. The quick-drying material is easy to clean and can survive any humid bathrooms or shower areas. It has one main compartment with four smaller pockets inside. Thanks to the double zipper and button design, you can have peace of mind that your items won't tumble out.

Pros -Waterproof and abrasion-resistant PU leather  -Easy to clean -4.8 stars

Cons -Limited pocket space so some items will lay on top of each other

If you're looking for a more reliable replacement to plastic bags, look no further. These clear, TSA-approved toiletry bags come in a pack of two and are a much sturdier clear bag option—they have metal zippers and plastic framing to keep the case's shape.

Pros -Water-repellent  -Easy to clean -4.6 stars

Cons -Very small at 5.9" H x 7.7" W -Only one compartment

These color-blocked kits are a must-have for spontaneous trips. When you find yourself in a rush and shoving things in your weekender , you'll want to have this small toiletry bag that will easily slide in to your last corner of space. The Topo Dopp kit has a simple design of one main compartment and a zipper on the front panel. The triangular shape helps everything to stay upright while sitting on the bathroom sink or in transit, without the bulkiness of other options.

Pros -Easy to clean -4.1 stars

Cons -Has a water-resistant lining but isn't completely waterproof

With six colors and patterns to choose from, you'll find a perfect match to go with the rest of your luggage. The toiletry kit features multiple exterior compartments, including a small front pocket and two zippered pockets on the side. Inside, you'll find a hanging hook as well as nylon latches that can hold slender, rounded items such as toiletry bottles, makeup brushes, and your toothbrush.

Pros -Easy to clean -Multiple storage compartments -4.1 stars

Cons -It's wide and not ideal for those with limited packing space

More Dopp kits we recommend

“I don’t own this bag yet, but I think I need to. I spotted it on Instagram, and it’s the exact type of Dopp kit I’ve been looking for. With toothbrush and razor holders, an interior mesh pocket, a side pocket, and even elastic straps to stick in Chapstick, mascara, or whatever, it feels like a super smart organizing system (especially in contrast to my current method of throwing everything haphazardly into a roomy  Baggu pouch ). I love that it’s water-resistant, and the squared-off shape makes so much sense among my packing cubes. I also think the Terra collection this bag is a part of, which includes earth-toned, rugged-ready bags with tons of straps and compartments, is what might finally get me into  Calpak luggage —this Dopp kit feels like  Patagonia and  Baboon to the Moon  got together and decided to make a toiletry set for women who like a “gear” look but also want to organize their skin care products.”  — Megan Spurrell , senior editor

Inside this neutral-hued pouch you’ll find a large zippered mesh pouch that can fit makeup essentials, dental care items, or skincare products. The top of the Lululemon kit has a zippered pocket that can store flat, slim items (like a comb or toothbrush) for easy access. Made from 100 percent recycled polyester, it's easy to spot-clean on the go.

Pros -Water-repellent fabric -5-liter storage capacity

Cons -Only two compartments

Away has long been one of Traveler editors' go-to brands for luggage and travel accessories. Away is now offering its Large Toiletry bag in a smaller, more compact version. The newer version is still made out of the same water-resistant, durable nylon. Although compact, the bag is fitted with two interior compartments; one of mesh and the other a clear, plastic. This is the ideal toiletry bag for those traveling light and only toting a carry-on.

Pros -Under warranty  -Water-resistant fabric -An additional pocket on the backside for slim items

Cons -Things tend to rattle on the mesh side

This durable Monos Metro toiletry bag comes in nylon and vegan leather; spills and smudges won’t be an issue as both materials are water-resistant. Both are fitted with three internal pockets that can fit your favorite  hand creams ,  lip balms, and a set of Q-tips. The center compartment will easily keep your  skincare routine upright and side by side, no matter the path ahead.

Pros -Choices in color and material -Easy to clean -Scratch-resistant fabric

Cons -Not much room in the interior pockets -Non-flexible fabric, so no wiggle room for items

Pink will definitely be your color when it comes to this Dopp kit from  State Bags . Not only does it incorporate three compartments for you to store everything from medicine to makeup, but it also has a collapsible hanger that adds to the locations where it can be stored.

Pros -Detachable interior pouch -Very roomy -Has a handle for easy carrying

Cons -The hanger is small so there may be racks it won't be able to hang from

Dagne Dover's Mila toiletry organizer takes the Dopp kit to another level with a vertical design that gives you a bird's-eye view of your essentials. The clever design of this recycled polyester zip case makes it easy to see everything at once, so there’s no digging around for what you need. The case comes with a removable padded divider to keep items upright and protected and has convenient interior elastic pockets. Aside from the main compartment, a zippered mesh pocket on the lid is perfect for storing contact lenses, tweezers, medicine, and other small necessities.

Pros -With the divider there are over five compartments to place items -Easy to clean -Upright design

Cons -Bulky

A sleek design makes Lojel's  travel case perfect for minimalists. The case—which comes in gray or black—is made from water-repellent polyester and has a leak-proof base. Budget friendly and durable, this is the ideal case for travel pros only carrying the essentials, or everything you might need for a weekend trip. Four interior pockets will help keep you organized, too.

Pros -Lightweight  -Has a handle for carrying and hanging -Four pockets

Cons -The large shape (11.8" × 7.3" × 4.2") isn't quite carry-on friendly

The  Go Pouch bag set from Baggu brings a fun and playful design to the basic travel kit. These roomy recycled nylon pouches fit much more than you'd expect, creating an easy way to organize toiletries (or electronics, or accessories) while traveling. Great for those  traveling with kids , the best part of these lightweight and packable cases is that they’re machine washable—no need to worry about spills.

Pros -Lightweight and foldable -Machine washable -Multi-purpose uses

Cons -No structure, so certain items can create a bulkiness to the bag -Not water-resistant, so spills can leak through

Though pricey, this timeless  leather toiletry bag from jewelry brand Miansai might be the last toiletry bag you ever need to buy. Crafted from premium Italian leather, it's the perfect accessory for travelers who value both form and function. Three interior pockets keep your bathroom accessories organized, while the cowhide exterior looks better with every use.

Pros -Durable -Under warranty  -Has a handle for carrying

Cons -Non-flexible fabric, so no wiggle room for items -Pricey

REI's  shower roll is the most practical way to organize your toiletries on the go, whether you’re  camping , road tripping, or hotel hopping. The roll design and hanging apparatus makes all of your bathroom accessories available at once—without taking up precious counter space. Made of light and durable ripstop nylon, the hanging toiletry bag has three zippered pockets and a mirror, creating a convenient vanity, no matter where you are.

Pros -Comes with a mirror -Three large pockets -Easy to store

For travelers who value a streamlined airport security experience, Stasher is the bag for you—this set of infinitely  reusable silicone storage bags won't hold you up at TSA checkpoints. The clear pastel pouches are big enough to hold everything you need, from shower essentials to makeup to medications and more.

Pros -Easy to clean and can be put in the dishwasher  -Water-resistant  -Sealable design

Cons -Slightly less storage space overall

This  leather travel case set from Cuyana perfectly embodies the brand’s ethos of fewer, better things. The right size for makeup, shower items like shampoo and conditioner, and toiletries, the cases are also great for electronics and can even be used as a clutch or  wallet . Available in 16 colors, Cuyana's cases are handmade in Argentina from premium leather.

Pros -Customizable  -Comes with a large and small option for versatility -Easy to clean the exterior

Cons -Liquid in the interior can wear down the fabric and decrease longevity, so extra thought will have to be put into the travel bottles used

This  embossed croc wash bag from Ted Baker brings some luxe glamour to your travel accessories. The fully lined case has a zip closure and comes in red (as shown), black , nude , or light blue . Bonus points: It could double as an  evening bag in a pinch.

Pros -Small and packable -Choices in colors -Versatile

Best toiletry bags 2023: practical and stylish wash bags for travel

Going away? Keep your toiletries in a selection of these fantastic washbags

Every traveller needs a good toiletry bag. You may be the type that can get by on just a toothbrush and a tube of toothpaste, but the accessories you need for more than a few days away quickly mount up. Shampoo and body wash is increasingly provided by hotels these days, but you still need to travel with your own deodorant, razor, shaving cream, moisturiser, creams, gels, medication, tablets… for some travellers, the list goes on and on.

So while you may aspire to travel with just a toothbrush and a credit card, the reality is very different. Cue the travel wash bag, a long-time travel staple.

However, they come in many different shapes and sizes. There are luxury-looking wash bags fashioned from leather, canvas bags designed for camping, and all kinds of styles in-between. There are clutches, products with integrated hanging hooks, and ultralight designs that are all about saving weight. 

These toiletry bags must be paired with the best suitcase , best carry-on luggage , or best backpack .

How to choose the toiletry bag for you

Why you can trust T3 Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about how we test .

You may not spend as much time choosing a wash bag as a wristwatch , but what you choose will say a lot about you. 

You can pay for materials and style, of course, with leather (both faux and real Italian hide) in our lineup. Those materials are easy to clean and exude style, but they come at a high price. 

The soft leather James Purdey & Sons Leather Wash Bag is a high roller at aroud £295, but it's very basic in design. Even the faux leather Ted Baker Cobbler Wash Bag is more intriguing, though not as impressive as the ultra-organised Aspinal of London Men's Hanging Washbag .

In the mid-rage sits the attractive Filson Canvas Wash Bag at around £120, with the rest of our roundup concentrating on more affordable and outdoorsy, unisex designs using man-made fabrics, such as the feature-packed Snugpak Luxury Wash Bag , and the compact Lifeventure Travel Wash Bag ,

For those who prefer to travel ultralight, check-out the Osprey Ultralight Washbag Zip , which also acts as a hanging wash bag, but includes a tear-off, see-through pouch for storing liquids in hand luggage, as does the unisex OneNine5 , which is fashioned from recycled plastic.

From business trips and plush hotels to camping and backpacking, there’s a travel wash bag here for you.

The 8 best toiletry bags you can buy

1. OneNine5 travel wash bag

Reasons to buy, reasons to avoid.

If you’re the kind of traveller that takes a lot of creams, lotions and potions, this generously-sized wash bag is for you. Designed by a London based start-up, OneNine5 has the Millennial crowd in its sights; it’s got a 100% recycled plastic lining, but also a magnetised clear liquids bag for getting through airport security when you’re travelling carry-on only. 

Coming in three colours, the OneNine5 travel wash bag has seven separate compartments to maximise space, including a zipped area for must-not-lose items as well as a hanging hook and a separate toothbrush holder. It’s available in three unisex colours; blue, pink and grey. 

2. Snugpak Luxury Wash Bag

Sometimes you don’t have to spend big to get your money’s worth. If you can live with the polyester outdoorsy look, Snugpak’s offering has all you need and more; as well as two main individually divided and zipped compartments, the Luxury Wash Bag has a useful wet storage compartment, a detachable mirror, and a stainless steel hanging hook to store it up and out of the way in bathrooms. That’s three features you don’t usually get from a washbag. It’s also got four elasticated sections for sundries. 

3. James Purdey & Sons Leather Wash Bag

If you want to travel in luxury, look no further than this beautiful leather wash bag. The clutch design may be reminiscent of a handbag, but elsewhere it's masculinity defined; where else would you find a 'signature oak bark tanning technique' applied to hide? 

At 8x18x26cm it's roomy enough for most toiletries, while the nicely lined main area contains a small pouch for contact lenses. Elsewhere it's all about style, with excellent quality zips and an embossed designer emblem. It's beautiful, if a little basic, but does anyone need to pay this much for a washbag?

4. Filson Canvas Wash Bag

If you're after a more vegetarian retro look, consider canvas. It's light, durable and much more versatile than leather. Oh, and it's cheaper, too. Cut from canvas and lined with nylon for extra waterproofing, this simple toiletry bag from Filson is a one-compartment affair, though inside is an open side-pocket for easy division of kit. 

A grab handle on one end is a nice touch, as is a high quality zip. Measuring 14x19x30cm, it's big enough to take some serious gear, but it folds down to nothing when not in use, which is handy when you're back at your bathroom base.

5. Osprey Ultralight Washbag Zip

Take two wash bags into the bathroom? If you're quite the jet-setter who's just as likely to pop over to Europe for a business meeting – with hand luggage only – as you are to go long duration, long haul, you don't want to have to buy a different wash bag for every kind of trip. 

This well-designed and incredibly lightweight 14x23x7cm option from outdoor specialist Osprey has three separate sections that can be unfurled when you get to your destination. Weighing just 12g, it's got a small coat hanger and plenty of pockets, a built-in mirror, and a transparent compartment that doubles as a rip-off toiletries pouch.

6. Ted Baker Cobbler Wash Bag

At first glimpse this looks like a solid leather trunk bag, but a clever compartment saves the day. Made from faux leather, with brass-look zips and with some attractive detailing, this 12.5x13x26cm toiletry bag has one big compartment ideal for storing the usual suspects like deodorant, shaving cream and a tube of toothpaste. 

However, another compartment on its undercarriage contains a few mesh pockets and a host of elasticated straps ideal for securing shaving accessories (or even cables). It adds some much-needed functionality because despite the attractive look, the build quality here is actually pretty basic.

7. Aspinal of London Men's Hanging Washbag

• Aspinal of London Men's Hanging Washbag - £225

Are you the organised type? If you're the kind of man who likes to travel with everything you need at your fingertips, there are few better options than a hanging wash bag. When closed it looks like a regular wash bag, with a magnet keeping everything snug. There’s even a carry handle on rear. 

However, unfurl it and you find three separate compartments, two of them zipped. There's even a mirror. Handmade in smooth calf leather, each pocket is lined with water resistant fabric. It's a joy to use, but the bizarre choice to have a loop rather than a hook makes it harder to find it a home.

8. Lifeventure Travel Wash Bag

If you have no need for leather and looks, you'll love this small unisex toiletry bag that looks like a packing cube. Available in blue, red and grey, the 22x18x8cm Lifeventure is all about practical design rather than style. It's made from ripstop nylon, and has two compartments one a mesh pocket and the other a more secure zip top security pocket.

 Thankfully, the loop design also comes with a hook, and there's a zipped pocket to make tablets easily accessible without opening the whole bag. It's also got a mirror, though in practical terms it's mere novelty.

The 8 Best Travel Toiletry Bags Professional Travelers Recommend and Use Themselves

There are certain necessities that can make traveling a little easier: a suitcase , or if you’re packing light, a carry-on , and maybe even packing cubes if you want to maximize your luggage space. And whether you’re planning a spontaneous weekend trip or vacation , you’ll also want a travel toiletry bag to keep your beauty and personal-care items all in one place while preventing the risk of a toiletry explosion when in transit.

You don’t have to look very far to find a toiletry kit: There area lot of options to choose from, but to help you narrow down your choices, I spoke to well-traveled people for tips on selecting the best travel toiletry bag for every type of jet-setter.

What to look for in a travel toiletry bag

Material: When looking for a travel toiletry bag, first think about the material. “A bag that’s easy to clean will last you a long longer,” says New York-based travel journalist Nneya Richards . Richards recommends materials like nylon or neoprene, which are water-resistant. Kim Tate , the Seattle-based travel writer and blogger behind Stuffed Suitcase , prefers options made from vinyl, a material that is durable and more often than not waterproof.

{{post.sponsorText}}

Size and weight: You’ll also want a travel toiletry bag with enough room for the toiletries you’re taking with you. A small toiletry bag will save you space, but if you’re packing larger toiletries or for a longer trip, you may want to opt for a larger kit—keeping in mind that it will take up more room in your bag. Size aside, select something lightweight; many of the options on this list are less than half a pound when empty.

Additional features: Finally, consider the additional features that’ll make traveling easier. For example, a toiletry bag with a hook or handle will allow you to hang it up and maximize counter space, while one with transparent panels can offer a clear view of your essentials for easy access. Some also offer organizational options, like compartments, pockets, or even separate pouches to keep your things in order.

Whatever your preference, there’s something for every type of traveler on this list. Scroll on for the eight best toiletry bags, as recommended by well-traveled experts.

Shop the best travel toiletry bags

Material: Not specified | Size: 10.5” L x 5” W x 1.7” H (Small) and 10.5” L x 5” W x 3.1” H (Standard) | Weight: 9.5 oz. (Small) and 11.3 oz. (Regular)

Nomatic is a favorite brand of Kesi Irvin , travel writer and owner of the online travel blog Kesi To and Fro , and its toiletry bag has the one thing she typically looks for in a kit—a hanging component. “If I’m moving around from place to place, I like having the option to hang my toiletry bag up so I can see all the products I have,” she shares. The bag boasts a convenient hanging strap to help you save counter space while on your trip and several zippered pockets to neatly store your items. Plus, its narrow profile will allow you to squeeze it into your suitcase without compromising packing space. While the manufacturer doesn’t specify the material of the bag, it’s designed to be water-resistant. It comes in two sizes, and, as an added bonus, a lifetime warranty.

Available colors: 1

• Water-resistant material
• Internal zip pockets
• Lifetime warranty
• Only one color option

Material: Nylon | Size: 14” L x 9.25” W x 2.2” H | Weight: 10 oz.

Tate has long relied on this toiletry bag on her travels. “It has a very slim profile that won’t take up much luggage space,” she explains. While unassuming in size and appearance, it has spacious internal compartments that can hold enough for shorter or longer excursions—something to which Tate can personally attest. “It has a zipper compartment on the left, where I would keep all my skincare products, a larger zipper compartment in the middle for my deodorant and larger items, and then two zipper compartments on the right to hold my toothpaste and eye-care products,” she says. To add to its functionality, it has a hook and removable pocket mirror.

Available colors: 4

• Slim profile
• Spacious internal compartments
• Can’t stand upright on its own

Material: Neoprene | Size: 7.5” L x 4” W x 4.5” H (Small) and 9” L x 4.75” W x 5.5” H (Large) | Weight: 5 oz. (Small) and 7 oz. (Large)

I use and love this Dagne Dover toiletry bag. While I’m by no means a travel expert, it’s withstood years of long road trips and international journeys. The bag is made from water-resistant neoprene to contain spills, and it has a sturdy structure and multiple compartments to keep my things from jostling around. Plus, it zips open—and stays open—for easy access. I own the large version, which has enough space for all my beauty and personal-care products, with compartments to keep things like my razor and toothbrush from touching. A bonus: The large version comes with two additional pouches, while the smaller version includes one pouch, and both come in several stylish colors.

If anything, the bag neither has a hook nor a handle to hang it with—and if this is important to you, you might prefer the Seoul Dopp Kit , which has the stamp of approval from Richards. This particular product is made from water-resistant nylon, and it features a swivel hook and multiple storage compartments. You can shop it in two sizes and four colors, including black, gray, green, and pink.

Available colors: 9

• Multiple interior compartments
• Comes with additional pouches for storage
• No hanging component

Material: Not specified | Size: 9” L x 6” W x 3.1”H (Standard) and 9.4” L x 7” W x 5.5” H (Large) | Weight: 5.3 oz.

If you’re looking for something more affordable, this travel-friendly toiletry bag offers some of the convenient features of pricier options at a lower cost. It also comes recommended by Abigail A. of the blog The Lady Who Travels . It’s made from a waterproof material, and it offers a considerable space for your beauty products and a separate compartment for makeup brushes. The kit comes in two sizes: a smaller, more travel-friendly design and a larger model with more storage space, or for a few more dollars, you can purchase it as a set of two. With 12 colors, you’re sure to find an option to match your personal style. The bag folds flat when not in use to conserve space, but it also lacks the structure and compartments of most options on this list—a tradeoff for the price.

Available colors: 12

• Separate compartment for makeup brushes
• Folds flat when not in use
• Minimal organizational compartments

Material: Not specified | Size: 10.2” L x 4.3” W x 6.3” H (Basic), 11.8” L x 7” W x 7” H (Standard), 11.8” L x ” 5.9 x 7” H (Large) | Weight: 5.6 oz. (Basic), 10.2 (Standard), 11.7 oz. (Large)

Another recommendation from A. is this toiletry bag from Bagsmart. It’s made from a water-resistant material, and it comes in three sizes, with the standard- and large-size options boasting a separate compartment with elastic loops to hold smaller or more slender items, such as a toothbrush, razor, or makeup brushes. Each of the three options have interior mesh pockets, along with a large exterior zippered pocket lined with a waterproof layer that is great for breakable and spill-prone products. The bag is well-structured too, with a wide base that keeps it upright and prevents it from tipping over even when full. Shop it in four solid colors, including black, navy blue, pink, and gray.

• Waterproof exterior pocket
• Multiple organizational compartments
• Limited colors

Originally $99, now $50

Material: PVC (with leather trim) | Size: 8.4” L x 3.3” W” x 3.3” H | Weight: Not specified

Travel journalist and TV host Sarah Greaves-Gabbadon of JetSetSarah recommends and uses this pick from The Daily Edit, which meets all her requirements of a good travel toiletry bag: it is transparent to offer a clear view of packed items; it has a zipper that runs all around the three sides of the bag for easy access; and it is durable to withstand repeated usage. “As an added bonus, you can personalize it,” she says, and you can have the letters of your choosing stamped onto the bag. The bag, constructed from PVC, opens up to two roomy compartments, one of which has an elastic strap to secure smaller items in place. The bag is finished with a black leather trim and gold hardware, and though it only comes in one size, Greaves-Gabbadon says is ideal for carry-on travel.

• Water-resistant construction
• Offers a clear view of contents
• Personalizable
• Only one size and color

Material: PVC (with leather or nylon trim) | Size: 2.5” L x 7.5” W x 2” H (Mini), 5.2” L x 7.5” W x 2” H (Standard), 6” L x 9” W x 2” H (Large), and 6” L x 9” W x 3.” 3.75” H (Jumbo) | Weight: Not specified

Truffle Co.’s toiletry bags come in four sizes, the most of our picks of the list—and they are recommended by Greaves-Gabbadon. Like the previous recommendation, the bag features transparent windows so you can instantly see what’s inside and a zipper that runs around three sides. Plus, the standard option is just the right size for liquids and gels that comply with the TSA 3-1-1 rules . Size aside, you can choose between a leather and nylon trim and several eye-catching colors for each of the available options. The biggest downside to this bag is the lack of compartments to keep items separate and in place, but if you typically pack light, it shouldn’t be much of an issue for you.

Available colors: 8

• TSA-friendly design
• Available in four sizes
• No internal organization

Material: Plastic | Size: 3.1” L x 8.4” W x 4.5” H | Weight: Not specified

Anya Hindmarch is known for creating stylish, albeit pricey, storage systems. If money is no object and you’re looking to organize the contents of your carry-on, consider the In-Flight Case, which started Greaves-Gabbadon’s “lust” for travel toiletry bags. The water-resistant bag, made specifically for carry-on use, is fully transparent for easy visibility and features two roomy compartments with zippers that run along the three sides of the bag. According to Greaves-Gabbadon, each section is equivalent in size to a quart-size Ziploc bag to carry 3.4-ounce liquids and gels on board an airplane without risking confiscation by TSA. If you visit the brand’s website, you can also personalize the bag with a phrase or your name—it’ll just cost you a bit extra.

Available colors: 5

• Water-proof material with waterproof fabric lining
• Roomy interior

TripSavvy / Tamara Staples

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

Product selection, how we tested, other toiletry bags we tested.

• What to Look For

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.

Size: 10 x 9 x 4 inches | Weight: 4.7 ounces | Material: Cordura nylon

Best Budget

Wandf toiletry bag.

• 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

Bagsmart hanging toiletry bag.

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.

The Best Toiletry Bags For Mess-Free Storage And Travel

More than just a pretty case.

by Molly Wolfe Published on February 3, 2024

At Luxe Digital, we independently research, review, and recommend products we love and that we think you will love, too. Learn more about how we curate the best products for you .

It may not be the most exhilarating purchase, but we think that the humble toiletry bag may just be one of the most underrated bags of all—whether you’re a member of the Wanderlust club and hardly step foot on home soil, or you don’t need a vacation because you live the life you love already (go you!). 

Call it a cosmetics case, dopp kit, wash bag—or whatever you will—but it could mean the difference between a leaky, clothes-ruined disaster or an arrival that is elegant and poised. 

As for design…

Well, it’s not the most important thing. But personally, we’d rather have a trendy toiletry bag that we’re proud to display rather than one that constantly needs to be stowed away when you hear the doorbell ring. 

Where to find such a functional and fashionable essential?

Kiss your zip-lock bags goodbye—Our carefully curated list of the best women’s toiletry bags has one for every personality and preference. (We also curated a list of the best dopp kits for men ).

16 best toiletry bags for women

Beis the hanging: overall best toiletry bag for women.

Our rating:

• Can be hung or used as a box toiletry bag
• Easy to clean
• Convenient grab handle
• Includes a TSA-compliant clear pouch
• Transparent and mesh interior pockets to find what you need
• Hanger doesn’t rotate so the bag doesn’t hang flush against the wall
• On the heavier side

Our verdict:

Whether hanging against the bathroom door or neatly position on the counter, this versatile, organized, water-resistant toiletry bag is as functional as it is fashionable. 

If we had to own just one toiletry bag, we’d find it impossible to choose between a hanging bag and a box bag. Which is why we’re obsessed with this one by Beis. Owned by actress Shay Mitchell, the cult-favorite brand has a notable Instagram following—and one that it consistently lives up to with its chic, sleek travel accessories. 

As our best toiletry bag for women, the Beis Hanging Cosmetic Case is case (sorry we had to) in point. Featuring a hidden hanger, the stylish boxy silhouette plays double duty as a hanging toiletry bag. While the water-resistant finish protects our cashmere sweaters and slip dresses from accidental travel spills (read: shampoo explosions.)

Regardless of how you position it, the compartmentalized travel case is ultra-organized, with transparent (skim-friendly) pockets, as well as a TSA-compliant clear pouch for gliding through airport security. We use ours for shorter and longer trips and we’re always hugely impressed.

Gucci Jumbo: Best luxury toiletry bag for women

• Made in Italy from the highest quality leather
• Stylish, sophisticated and timeless
• Extra strong zippers
• Internal stretch pockets
• It’s expensive

Yes, this glamorous Gucci cosmetics case may seem totally unnecessary, but the high-quality accessory is almost guaranteed to last forever—in fashion and functionality. 

If you’re looking for a designer toiletry bag to luxe up your travel collection, the Gucci Jumbo toiletry case promises to make any average bathroom feel like a five-star hotel. Made in Italy from the brand’s signature monogrammed canvas, the cylinder silhouette oozes sophistication and class. But it’s not just a pretty case. The Gucci toiletry bag is also highly functional. 

The spacious interior features four stretch pockets, perfect for small essentials such as hair ties and lipsticks. The nylon lining is water-resistant and easy to wipe down. The zippers are incredibly strong and robust And we appreciate the grab handle when we’re carrying the Gucci Jumbo to the bathroom or hauling it out of a tightly packed backpack. 

Herschel Chapter: Best value toiletry bag for ladies

• Ultra-light for its spacious dimensions
• Water-resistant
• Internal and external storage sleeves
• Large carry handle
• Super affordable for a quality product
• Fabric marks easily
• Takes up a lot of counter space

If you’re looking to spend as little as possible without compromising quality, the Herschel Chapter toiletry bag is a no-brainer. 

At Luxe Digital, we’re only interested in quality brands that are designed to last longer. And while we’re usually prepared to pay more for luxury purchases, every now and then we come across an affordable gem, such as this toiletry bag by Herschel. 

The first thing we tested were the zippers (as these are usually the first to go) and were pleasantly surprised at how they held up—even when being tugged and pulled in a child-like manner. We also assessed the brand’s water resistance and are pleased to report that the toiletry bag is impenetrable. 

When it comes to organization and usability, the Herschel Chapter toiletry bag has plenty of pockets on the inside, as well as slips to store your watches and bracelets while you’re in the shower on the outside.

Cuyana Travel Case: Best leather toiletry bag set for women

• Sustainably sourced, premium leather
• Durable zippers
• Sophisticated and stylish aesthetic
• Includes two different sized pouches
• Can be personalized
• No external pockets

You can always count on Cuyana to elevate basics to iconic stature—that covetable blend of luxe-feeling, timeless style and flawless functionality. If you’re looking for something that is a little more stylish but not impractical, we’re pretty sure you’ll love Cuyana’s elegant travel case set.

After testing most of Cuyana’s best-selling products, we’re unapologetically biased towards the sustainable, minimalist brand. But that also means that we have impossibly high standards for the label. 

Handcrafted in Argentina from sustainable sourced leather, the set of two bags—a small and large—exudes sophistication. And the design is both timeless and practical with impressively strong zippers (coming from the overpackers themselves).

While the leather lining is easy to wipe down, it should be noted that these cases aren’t entirely waterproof. 

When it comes to price, the Cuyana toiletry bag set is on the higher end, but the quality and design definitely justify the cost. Especially since it plays double duty as one of our favorite clutches when not carrying your beauty regime.

Away Travel: Best large toiletry bag for women

• Fits an extensive beauty regime
• Lightweight for its size
• Structured silhouette doesn’t fall over
• Exterior zip pocket for grab-and-go items
• Not as flexible as other less-structured silhouettes

A large toiletry bag isn’t always appropriate for shorter trips. However if you need to pack an extensive beauty regime into one waterproof dopp kit, this super organized spacious travel case is the way to go.

If you’re anything like us and you’re constantly trying to squeeze just one more serum into an already overstuffed toiletry bag, the Away Large is an absolute game-changer. With a thoughtful design that’s quintessential of Away, the classically styled toiletry bag opens wide, so you can quickly access whatever you need, avoiding awkward fumbles. 

It’s palatial in size. The super-organized interior has three main compartments—one for your liquids, one for your dental hygiene kit and one for your razors and hair accessories. 

As one of the most functional dopp kits, the large toiletry bag is made from sustainable, water resistant nylon. And like most products sold by Away, it’s incredibly durable with a lifeline seemingly longer than our own. 

Besides transforming our own travel experiences, the Away Large toiletry bag is also a great gift for almost any woman. Especially if you make most of the brand’s sentimental personalization options. 

Bellroy: Best compact women’s toiletry bag

• Compact size is perfect for shorter trips
• Water resistant lining is easy to clean
• Separate toothbrush sleeve has a magnetic closure
• Made from recycled materials
• Compact size often isn’t big enough for longer trips

From separate toothbrush slips and ample pockets to water-resistant, recycled materials and a 3-year warranty, this cute toiletry bag is all about perfecting the finer details. It’s a big thumbs up from us.

One of the worst toiletry mishaps is to arrive at your destination to find a toothbrush covered in shampoo. That’s just one of the reasons that we’re obsessed with this cute toiletry bag by Bellroy. The brand has thought of everything—from a magnetic closure toothbrush slip to its carry-on compliant compact size. 

Inside the Bellroy toiletry bag , you’ll find a surprisingly spacious, water-resistant interior that easily wipes clean, as well as side pockets for smaller essentials. The addition of grab loops means that you can balance it on one finger while carrying a change of clothes. And we appreciate that the use of recycled materials aligns with the brand’s overall environmentally conscious choices. 

Calpak Kaya: Best clear women’s toiletry travel bag

• Transparent materials to see what’s inside at a glance
• TSA compliant
• Super organized
• Clam shell opening can also be hung
• Water resistant
• Zips don’t feel the most durable

We always love a clear toiletry bag as it’s easy to see if you’ve missed anything without unpacking the whole case, but this transparent accessory takes organization and convenience to a whole new level.

We can see clearly now. As much as we love a fashionable toiletry bag in standout hues, we have to admit that a clear toiletry bag is usually the most convenient choice. Particularly this one by Calpak. While it’s not a hanging toiletry bag per se, the clam shell opening and grab handles mean that you can hang it on your towel hook to save space. And two separate, water-resistant zipped compartments mean that if one of your liquids explodes, your toothbrush and razors remain untouched. 

As one of our best toiletry bags for carry-on, the clear PVC exterior is also TSA compliant (no ziplock bags for you). And while the spacious medium interior is perfect for most occasions, the Calpak Kaya travel case also comes in a small and medium for shorter or longer trips.

Nomatic 2.0: Best women’s toiletry bag for outdoors

• Strong zippers are engineered for heavy use
• Slim profile takes up minimal space and is incredibly lightweight
• Includes a hidden hanging hook
• Fully waterproof
• Not the most stylish option and only comes in gray

Aesthetically, it may be less exciting than others, but when it comes to performance and durability, you won’t find a toiletry bag more suitable for outdoor adventures.

As one of the best toiletry bags for camping and other outdoor excursions, the Nomatic 2.0 is unbelievably light and durable. The waterproof materials are totally impenetrable, regardless of weather conditions. And no matter how you treat them (we tugged and pulled), the robust zippers and seams always hold up. 

Additionally, the lightweight silhouette takes up very little space in a backpack. And the hidden hanging hook means that you can conveniently hang it up in your tent or cabin to save space. 

Which size to choose? When you’re hiking or camping, you usually don’t require your full collection of serums, moisturizers and makeup, in which case we prefer the smaller size. However, if you’re not one to leave anything behind regardless of your destination, the Nomatic Toiletry Bag 2.0 also comes in a larger size. 

BAGSMART: Best hanging toiletry bag for women

• Large capacity
• Hanging capability
• Well padded for extra protection
• Stylish design
• Super affordable
• Exterior isn’t the easiest to wipe down
• Seems aren’t quite as strong

It may not be a brand that you know, but this toiletry bag is surprisingly high quality and maximizes bathroom space by conveniently hanging flush against the door. Plus, it’s super affordable, organized and extra spacious.

While we’re all for prioritizing skincare, an extensive beauty regime comes with its travel challenges. Taking up space in your suitcase and Airbnb bathroom, it usually means leaving something else behind. Unless, you’re packing the BagSmart toiletry bag, in which case, you’re sorted. 

As one of the most popular women’s toiletry bags on Amazon, we were intrigued to see if the affordable accessory lived up to the hype. And it delivered in spades. 

With four main water-resistant compartments and ample pockets (interior and exterior), the fold-up silhouette is unbelievably organized and big enough for all the bathroom essentials (and non-essentials). While the hanging toiletry bag simultaneously maximizes bathroom space. 

We love the BagSmart toiletry bag so much that we use it at home, as well as for longer trips. It’s also affordable enough to invest in two if you’d prefer to keep one for storage and one for travel. 

Horizn Studios Kōenji: Best one compartment toiletry bag for women

• Same material as for bulletproof vests
• Magnetic pull tag maintains a structured silhouette
• Spacious main compartment
• Small zipped pocket for smaller items
• Carbon neutral shipping and 100% vegan materials

While we love a toiletry bag with compartments for organization, it usually means less packing space. So if you’d rather prioritize space and a compact size, we recommend this extra durable, one-compartment toiletry bag by Horizn Studios.

If you’re packing fewer bigger things, like shampoos and moisturizers, a one-compartment toiletry bag can actually be more useful. As our best one-compartment toiletry bag, the Horizn Studios Kōenji Wash Bag illustrates why. 

With ample room for larger bottles and hairbrushes, the water-resistant interior is incredibly spacious for its size. While the single zipped side slip is the perfect size for a toothbrush or hair ties. 

The Horizn Studios wash bag is also ridiculously durable. Made from ballistic nylon, we use ours all the time, and it’s yet to show any signs of wear or tear. Plus, it comes in eco-friendly packaging and ships carbon neutrally. 

Peak Design: Best women’s toiletry bag with compartments

• Ultra organized
• Fits in more than most
• Structured silhouette remains upright
• Separate toothbrush slip with magnetic seal
• Although it has a hook, it doesn’t hang flush against the wall
• Stitching isn’t the strongest

If organized travel is your main priority, this toiletry bag with compartments is unrivaled when it comes to tidiness. With countless slips and pockets, every item has its designated place. 

If you know us, you’ll know how much we harp on about organized travel accessories. And so it should come as no surprise that we’re totally biased towards this one by Peak Design. 

As our best travel toiletry bag for organized getaways, the wash bag has two main compartments with multiple space-saving, origami-style pockets, all of which are water-resistant and thoughtfully placed. 

While it doesn’t look like much from a glance, we were seriously impressed by just how much could fit inside the toiletry bag. And the accordion-shaped silhouette remained steadfast and upright even when full. 

Our one complaint is that the seams aren’t quite as strong as we expected, but seeing that the Peak Design wash bag is covered by the brand’s lifetime warranty, we’re willing to overlook it. 

Lululemon: Best roll up trendy toiletry bag for women

• Lightweight and compact to pack
• Conveniently hangs from a bathroom hook when unfolded
• Rrecycled, water-repellent materials
• Three main compartments including a see-through mesh pocket
• Doesn’t stand upright when not hanging
• No grab handle

If you’re looking for a hyper-practical roll-up travel toiletry kit that is also super sleek and stylish, Lululemon’s version is a standout. Just note that the bag doesn’t stand upright, it’s only designed for hanging.

We all know and love Lululemon for its cult-favorite collection of quality activewear . Which is why we were so excited to get our hands on the brand’s trendy toiletry bag. 

How did it perform? Well, it’s not perfect—it’s not as easy to clean and doesn’t have grab handles—but it’s still a standout as our best roll-up toiletry bag for women. The sleek design is compact and maximizes space. While the three water-resistant compartments are all you need to organize the essentials. 

We also love that the Lululemon Travel Toiletry Kit is made from recycled materials. And while it’s engineered with meticulous attention to detail, the quality accessory doesn’t cost the earth.

Cuyana Beauty Case: Best stylish toiletry bag for make-up

• Made from sustainably sourced Italian leather
• Elastic bands for beauty brushes
• Removable pouch for smaller essentials
• Wipeable microsuede interior
• Timeless, sophisticated and stylish
• Structured silhouette is heavier and takes up more suitcase space

If you carry around a fair bit of makeup, it’s worth having a toiletry case specifically designed for your various brushes and bottles. With ample storage space, removable pouches and carefully placed elastic bands, the Cuyana Beauty Case ticks all our boxes.

As one of our favorite brands for casual and business casual essentials, Cuyana consistently impresses us with its knack for turning everyday essentials into cult-favorite classics. Living up to its burgeoning reputation, the Cuyana makeup bag kit embodies everything we love about the brand. 

Made from premium Italian leather that is also responsibly sourced and tanned, the elegant silhouette is designed to add a sophisticated edge to your bathroom counter, while considering the planet in the process. The plush microsuede interior is effortless to wipe down. And we particularly love that there is a designated place for every type of brush and bottle—including a removable pouch that can slip into your handbag.

That being said, Cuyana’s Beauty Case isn’t the most affordable option, but it’s a lifetime purchase that you’ll only ever applaud the more you use it. 

Nuori: Best women’s toiletry bag for home and away

• Set includes a large and small toiletry bag
• Small case is clear and TSA compliant
• Vegan leather and comes in sustainable packaging
• Quality zips and seams
• Stylish and sophisticated aesthetic
• No grab handles

Two travel upgrades in one—A multitasking case and a clear travel toiletry bag that’s great for staying home, too. It’s all you need.

Usually, we’d get a larger, more structured toiletry bag for home and a more travel-friendly version for getaways. However, this Nuori two-piece set fulfills both functions. 

As one of our best dopp kits for women, the larger vegan leather has ample space for your capsule beauty regime , including carefully placed elastic bands for brushes. While the smaller skincare travel bag is more compact and carry-on friendly. It’s also completely clear and TSA-compliant so you can glide through airport security without worrying about ziplock bags. 

When it comes to aesthetics, this Nuori two-piece set is a masterclass in modern minimalism. And while it’s designed to organize your skincare, beauty and dental products, it simultaneously acts as a decor item on any bathroom countertop. For us, that’s a noteworthy bonus, especially because we keep ours displayed year-round. 

Dagne Dover The Hunter: Best lightweight toiletry bag for women

• Ultra-light and flexible for packing
• Soft, water-resistant neoprene protects toiletries
• Removable mesh pouch for customizable storage options
• Organized interior includes slips and elastic loops
• Neoprene may fade if placed in direct sunlight for extended periods
• Not machine washable as we initially hoped it would be

It’s not fancy but it’s ultra-light, robust, and gets the job done for a much lower price tag. 

Weighing only 0.3 pounds, the Dagne Dover Hunter Toiletry Bag has a barely-there appeal. It easily fits into carry-on luggage without taking up much of your airline weight limitations. And while the silhouette is structured enough to stand on its own, it’s also flexible enough to squeeze into an overstuffed backpack when not fully packed. 

As one of our best dopp kits for women, the neoprene toiletry bag features a removable mesh pouch as well as elasticated slips and sleeves for various brushes and bottles. It should be noted that the neoprene exterior isn’t 100% impenetrable, but it’s water resistant enough to deter liquid spills from infiltrating your suitcase. 

When it comes to size, we opted for the small Hunter Toiletry Bag . And while some women may find it insufficient, we love the compact, lightweight silhouette for everyday gym missions, overnight hikes and other shorter trips. However, if you’d prefer to fit in more, the toiletry bag also comes in large. 

Bonus—Aesop: Best pre-stocked toiletry set

• Saves the time of looking for each item individually
• Travel sizes fit perfectly into all of our best toiletry bags
• Made from quality natural ingredients
• Missing a few essentials, such as a face cleanser and toothpaste

Saying yes to new adventures at a moment’s notice? Easy with this pre-stocked toiletry bag of matching quality, travel-sized products. Aesop’s Arrival collection is guaranteed to elevate your check-in experience.

Ok, so this one isn’t exactly a toiletry bag, but we think Aesop’s flight-ready travel sets are too good not to share? Our current favorite? The four-piece Arrival set. Featuring a mini (50ml) shampoo, conditioner, cleanser and body balm, it’s exactly what you need to kickstart your vacation with fragrant, natural ingredients. 

Aesop’s travel-sized essentials are guaranteed to fit into your designer toiletry bag—which we’ll assume you’ve already picked off our list. And we love the clean, minimalist aesthetic perched on any bathroom countertop. It may seem like a small detail, but these decadent staples really are an elixir for any weary, jet–lagged traveler. 

Buyer’s guide to choosing the right toiletry bag

While a new toiletry may seem like a relatively straightforward purchase, there is actually quite a bit to consider if you want to find exactly what you need:

Intended use

First consider how often you intend to use your toiletry bag and what for: on the move or home storage?

On the move

If you intend to travel with your toiletry bag—be it longer vacations or everyday gym excursions—you’ll want to look for wash bags that are lighter and maximize space. 

It can also be helpful to think about the type of travel you usually do. If it’s outdoor adventures, you’ll want a wash bag that is water-resistant and compact—after all you likely won’t bag an extensive beauty regime to go camping. On the other hand, if you’re traveling for business or a wedding, you’ll want a bag that fits all the everyday grooming essentials. 

Another important factor is how you intend to transport your toiletry bag. If it’s in a carry-on, a compact transparent, TSA-compliant bag is incredibly useful. And if it’s in a check-in bag, you’ll likely want to prioritize something larger. 

Home: everyday storage

Even if we have shelves and cupboards in our bathrooms at home, most of us prefer to store our cosmetics and skin care products in toiletry bags. If this is what you’re looking for, we recommend a stylish, spacious, structured silhouette that plays double duty as a decor piece on your countertop. 

Compartments and contents

Of course, different toiletry bags are designed to accommodate different contents, so in order to choose the right one, you need to have an idea of what you’re packing inside it. 

If it’s make-up, you’ll want a toiletry bag that has elastic rings for various bottles and brushes. If it’s liquids, water-resistant compartments are essential. If it’s a couple of bigger items, a spacious one-compartment version may be best. And if it’s a bit of everything, look for one with plenty of pockets for many different categories (medicines, electronics, hair products, brushes, skincare, etc). 

You also know how much you intend to fit inside. If your uncompromising beauty regime is pretty extensive, you’ll want a bag that fits every serum and cleanser. However, if you’re a light-packer with many adventures planned, a lightweight, compact version is likely better suited to your lifestyle. 

The question is: flat, hanging or a hybrid? 

Flat, boxy toiletry bags are easier to transport from mirror to mirror as needed and are often better for storage. However, a hanging wash bag is great for maximizing bathroom space and is often lighter to pack.

If you can’t choose between the two, a hybrid version gives us the best of both worlds. Just make sure that it’s structured enough to stand on its own and is flexible enough to hang flush against a wall or door. 

Things we specifically looked for

While all our favorites are made differently, here’s what we prioritized when picking out the best toiletry bags for women: 

• Easy to clean: a toiletry bag should always be easy to wipe down and bonus points if it’s also machine washable. 
• Strong zips: as zips are often the first thing to go, we tugged and pulled to ensure this wasn’t the case. 
• Size and capacity: even if it’s a smaller toiletry bag, it should still maximize its capacity. 
• Organizational features: we paid attention to how many compartments and pockets each bag had, as well as how strategically they are placed. 
• Portability and hanging capability: If it’s a travel toiletry bag, it should have grab handles or a hanging hook. 
• Water resistance: water resistance compartments are super important if you intend to carry liquids. 

Frequently asked questions about toiletry bags for women

The best women’s toiletry bag depends on your lifestyle and beauty needs. Stylish, versatile, and durable, the Beis hanging toiletry bag is our favorite toiletry bag for women, while Gucci is our best luxury toiletry bag. But to select the perfect dopp kit for your needs, check out our curated list of the best toiletry bags for women .

As our overall best toiletry bag for women, Beis’ toiletry bag is considered the most versatile for any situation. The considerate design can be hung against your bathroom door or perched on top of a counter.

A toiletry bag is designed to hold personal hygiene and beauty items such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, and skincare products, focusing on practicality during travel. A cosmetic bag, on the other hand, is intended for makeup and beauty products, emphasizing organization and protection for cosmetics. The bags are different by definition, however, a single wash bag can serve both purposes.

A women’s toiletry bag is often simply referred to as a “toiletry bag”, however it can also be called a “dopp kit” or “wash bag”. In some circumstances, a toiletry bag may be referred to as a “cosmetics bag” or “make up bag”, although strictly, the two serve slightly different purposes.

If you ask us, a good toiletry bag should have room for everything, including your favorite skincare sets , staple hair shampoos and conditioners , and must-have makeup products . A major plus is a pouch equipped with several compartments, especially one large enough to house more oversized items like your makeup brushes and tools, different sections to help you organize your goods, and enough room to fit a seven-step skin routine. Yes, it’s quite a big ask, but they do exist. Once you find the right bag, it’ll be one less thing to worry about on your next vacation.

Calpak’s new cosmetics case is genius because it features multiple compartments separated by zippers to store tons of goodies neatly. The transparent exterior makes it easy to grab whatever product you need quickly, and one wipe will take any marks or spills away. If the medium size isn’t your jam, opt for the small or large so you can take as few or as many products as you want.

Calpak star rating : 5/5 stars

An ELLE editor says: “I’d be lying if I said I didn’t grab this cosmetics bag because of its bright pink interior. Then, I started unzipping the compartments and immediately started mentally adding travel-sized beauty goods to my cart. There are so many varying sizes housed in this cute pink case, including two large side pockets and a mini pouch in the middle for tiny knickknacks.” — Nerisha Penrose , ELLE.com beauty commerce editor

Colors : Dragonfruit, emerald green, lavender, navy, white, black, caramel, and mauve

The bag even comes with a compact mirror for quick touch-ups.

Sea to Summit rating : 4.9/5 stars

A Sea to Summit reviewer said : “Excellent product design, lightweight with strong materials. I have taken this bathroom bag on numerous adventures, overseas, and motorcycle camping excursions and have had no problems. I like the strong zipper, internal mirror, and overall function of the design. I would purchase and replace it again if I lost it. Thanks, Sea to Summit, for another good product.”

Sizes : Small, large

Colors : Grey, atoll blue, spicy orange, black, orange, blue

Just as you carefully wash your brushes to extend their use, they deserve to be stowed away properly as well. This small case can keep your brushes tucked away from the spills and dirt they would normally accumulate from larger cosmetics bags.

Colors : Beige, black

This fancy leather pouch is the multipurpose piece your travel luggage has been missing. Complete with two interior zippered pockets, a removable divider system, a large elastic band to secure bottles, and a smaller elastic band to hold hair ties, it can be used for makeup and to store skincare products, accessories, and other trinkets you may travel with. You can even purchase the strap separately to wear outside.

Glossier star rating : 4.4/5 stars

A Glossier reviewer said : “This is literally the cutest makeup bag I have ever owned! It has so much storage and it makes you look sophisticated, haha!”

Everlane’s case has five pockets to help you organize everything from skincare to jewelry without mixing anything up. Uniquely, it snaps down and rolls back so you can easily sift through your products once you arrive at your destination.

Everlane star rating : 4.7/5 stars

An Everlane reviewer said : “I bought this to use as an organizer inside a handbag. It worked perfectly and I liked it so much that I ordered another as a makeup bag . The little pockets make it easy to organize your things, and I love the roll-down top for easy access.”

Size: One size

Amazon star rating : 4.7/5 stars

Colors : 13 hues and prints, including M-Navy Blue, M-black, palm leaf, plaid, and zebra print

Away’s travel kit is deceivingly compact-looking. Thanks to its three interior compartments and one exterior zippered pocket, there’s ample space to separate your makeup from your brushes for a no-fuss, clutter-free trip.

Away star rating : 4.7/5 stars

An Away reviewer said : “I’m really happy with this bag. It’s roomy but not oversized, the compartments and pockets are really handy for keeping things organized, and the material seems durable and easy to care for.”

Colors : Black, navy, coast, olive, and garnet

You can’t decide which beauty products to bring with you, so you bring them ALL. If that sounds familiar, you must get this top-rated Amazon pick .

Sephora star rating : 4.5/5 stars

A Sephora reviewer said : “I’ve had countless makeup bags in my life, and this one is by far my favorite. It holds all my makeup and the different-sized pouches enable me to organize to my heart’s content. It’s also really, REALLY easy to clean. I recently emptied out the pouches, tossed them in the wash, and wiped down the bag itself with a makeup wipe, and it was as good as new! Be forewarned, it’s massive, but if you have a lot of makeup, it’ll meet your needs perfectly!”

Colors : Black

Louis Vuitton Cosmetic Pouch

Nothing says luxury like packaging your makeup essentials in a Louis Vuitton pouch. This one has chic gold brass detailing and a washable interior, so you can travel in high style without sacrificing function.

A review from Wantastic Beauty said the pouch’s tapered design is great because of “how wide the opening of the mouth is and that the zipper extends right down the sides because you can access your stuff much easier and clearly see where everything is.”

Colors/Finishes : Damier Azure Canvas, Monogram Canvas, and Damier Ebene

First and foremost, consider how big your collection is and the types of products you’ll be storing. For instance, if you tend to pack light or your routine is somewhat minimal, a small zippered pouch should suffice. On the other hand, if you’re a professional makeup artist or a beauty enthusiast with a sizable collection, you’ll want a larger case with plenty of compartments to hold all your bottles, palettes, brushes, tubes, tools, and more. Look for options with special compartments that hold bottles upright, and consider styles that can hang, as they’re easily accessible and won’t overcrowd a small bathroom counter.

Remember that the larger the toiletry bag, the more room it will occupy inside your luggage. To find a happy medium, look for styles that can store your skincare and makeup essentials while occupying a reasonable space in your suitcase or duffel.

What fabric is best for a toiletry bag?

No matter which style you choose, it’s always a good idea to look for options made with durable, easy-to-clean materials like PVC or polyester, so makeup mishaps are a cinch to fix. Also, consider waterproof fabrics to avoid spills leaking through to the rest of the contents in your suitcase (aka, a traveler’s worst nightmare).

The best wash bags for men who groom on the go

By Heidi Quill , Jessie Atkinson and Faye Fearon

All the grooming gear but no idea where to keep it all? From The North Face to Louis Vuitton, GQ’s edit of the best wash bags for men will carry your toiletries in style

Take your grooming seriously? Then a plastic security bag just won’t cut it. To schlep your best toiletries, moisturiser , aftershave and the like in style you’ll need wash bags of repute. Or at least one that’s on a par with the effort you put into scouting an exfoliator worth its salt.

That’s why we’ve done our research to find the best wash bags for men to ensure you’re carrying your skin and haircare solutions in a gentlemanly fashion. From Reiss to Prada, these picks will marry with a suitcase , gym kit , duffle or backpack , or simply as a stylish tool to store any bathroom counter overspill. And once you have your wash bag sorted, be sure to keep it well stocked with our weekly pick of new grooming items .

What are GQ 's best wash bags for men?

You'll find all the wash bags worth your consideration in the gallery below, but first, here's what our editors are travelling with this season:

• Best classic wash bag: Bennett Winch, £425, bennettwinch.com
• Best value wash bag: Rains, £39, rains.com
• Best designer wash bag: Bottega Veneta, £1,350, mytheresa.com
• Best colourful wash bag: The North Face, £30, thenorthface.co.uk

What is the best fabric for a wash bag?

We tend to fill our wash bags with a variety of oils, creams and ointments that, when the victim of a pressurised air cabin or particularly bumpy car ride, can result in quite the sticky mess within your wash bag. It's for that reason that you'll most commonly find wash bags in a range of leathers or synthetic nylon, both being especially durable, tear-resistant and able to be simply wiped clean.

How do you clean a wash bag?

Whilst some wash bags will be able to go in the washing machine (the lapel should let you know), a spot of soap and hot water will never go amiss, and hand washing is generally a pretty safe bet. When it comes to leather wash bags, we recommend cleaning the inside with a damp cloth while gently wiping the outside panels with either a mild soap or an upholstery-specific wipe.

• Fabrication: Leather
• Colours: Black

Tom Ford knows how to serve timeless designs infused with just the right dose of glamour, and this extends to his selection of grooming accessories. Assembled from glossy, croc-effect leather, this stark black design is shaped with a solid rectangular structure and features practical zipped compartments across the front and inner. Decadently contrasted with gold-toned hardware, it's a must for serious fashion lovers.

• Fabrication: Polyester
• Colours: Yellow, black, beige, khaki (+4 more)

Masters of the raincoat and outerwear of all types, Rains has turned its practised eye to the wash bag. Utilising its same waterproof design and coated details, Rains' lime green option goes hard on durability, but style certainly isn't far behind.

• Fabrication: Polyamide

Looking to introduce a pop of colour to your bathroom shelf? Paul Smith is at hand to provide it. Centred by the designer's multicoloured striped webbing motif, this wash bag is as playful as it is practical: designed from a durable textured mesh, fitted with a small strap and complete with a pocket inside. If you ask us, it's an easy win – especially when partnered with the designer's range of similarly-striped accessory kits.

Marks & Spencer

• Fabrication: Recycled polyester

Hats off to Marks & Spencer for offering a wash bag which is environmentally-conscious and won’t break the bank. With sustainability in mind, this simple black style is made from a recycled Pro-Tect polyester fabric to promise serious durability and resistance against scuffs. Fitted with a water-resistant lining and two zipped compartments, rest assured that it will last for the long run.

Alpine Trek

• Fabrication: Polyester blend
• Colours: Black, navy, green (+1 more)

The small red fox that took over outdoor accessories has now moved into travel storage. Fjällräven's Kånken wash bag is by no means an exception to the label's practical approach to stylish storage, made from a durable, quick-drying fabric derived from recycled polyester and organic cotton. Put simply, it's ready for anything.

The North Face

• Fabrication: Recycled polyester blend
• Colours: Green, black, yellow

It’s an undeniable truth that smaller versions of large things are simply, and irrefutably, adorable. This wash bag from The North Face is a scaled-down iteration of the Base Camp Duffel bag, storing 5.7 litres in a durable, water-repellent construction. Finished in a laurel wreath green, this wash bag makes the ideal travel partner.

• Fabrication: Canvas
• Colours: Brown

Few brand motifs are as iconic as Gucci's recurring GG logo, making it an eternally stylish addition to your bathroom shelf. Dating back to the 1930s, the heritage rhombi print clads this supreme canvas wash bag – the middle of which is streamlined with the Italian house's equally iconic Web stripe and gold-toned hardware. Best of all, its brown leather trim is made through a chrome-free tanning process to reduce its environmental footprint. Just excellent.

By Jessie Atkinson

Horizn Studios

• Fabrication: PVC blend

Since most wash bags are covered in canvas, it's easy to throw too many belongings inside and run the risk of overflowing them with clutter. Fortunately, with this design by Horizn Studios, you won't make that mistake, as its silhouette is entirely (and stylishly) transparent. Swapping plastics for animal-friendly materials in its creation, it's finished with a branded logo patch at the front and also complies with airport size regulations – meaning you can use it at home or abroad.

The primary purpose of a wash bag may be practicality, but that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice good style in the process. Immediately ticking the boxes for both, this leather-crafted design by Loewe is the ultimate example of quiet luxury – inspired by the art form of origami through its panelling across the front. This format can also be packed down for space-saving, but if you prefer to keep it standing straight its full lining ensures the greatest shape.

Affordable accessories with strong cultural credit? Sign us up. These are served by none other than Fred Perry, whose simple but effective style status is evidenced by this staple wash bag. Coated in a shiny black shade, its rounded frame is fitted with a top handle for convenience on the go, and the bottom corner is stamped with the brand's acclaimed Laurel Wreath logo. Fuss-free and budget-friendly, what's not to love?

Aspinal of London

• Colours: Tobacco, Navy, Black

It’s not entirely clear why Aspinal of London has called its leather wash bag the “Reporter”. Perhaps it’s because you’ll want to report your new purchase to absolutely everyone on the same flight as you. Pebbled in tobacco (the most gentlemanly of browns), it comes with rubber base points and a loop, so as to keep your new toy out of the suspicious-looking water in the aeroplane bathroom.

If your interest in grooming has led to what some would call an unnerving (but you would call necessary) amount of moisturisers and beard oils , you’ll need something a little more capacious. Allow Lululemon to step in: the athleisure brand hears your plight and provides a 5-litre capacity bag with endless storage options as a solution.

• Fabrication: Recycled woven fabric
• Colours: Bronze, navy, grey (+1 more)

Encouraging exploration with style, Bellroy supports movement in all forms. Given a burnt orange hue, this Bellroy toiletry kit is as big on storage and organisation as it is on aesthetics, keeping your essentials in their place no matter your final destination.

Crafted from a water-resistant coated canvas and fully lined in black, Métier’s staple wash bag is one for those who like to keep things elegant in the bathroom. Featuring the London-based brand’s art-deco-like monogram across the silhouette, it fastens with a two-way leather zip pull and features a curved leather handle at the side.

• Fabrication: Polyurethane

Assembled from sturdy faux leather and structured to a rectangular silhouette, this black washbag by Ted Baker demonstrated the brand’s flair for quality at an affordable price. Featuring checked panels down the centre of the body, it’s fitted with an internal net pocket and handle on top. Currently on sale via Selfridges, be sure to add it to your basket before it’s too late.

If you’re looking to invest in a truly luxury washbag, Berluti is the brand to turn to. Having excelled in quality design since 1895, this Formula 1003 washbag is a prime example of its craftsmanship: assembled from the house’s unique Venezia leather and embossed with a signature calligraphic “ scritto” motif. A real beauty.

• Fabrication: Recycled polyamide
• Colours: Black, stone

If you’re less inclined to drop half of your pay cheque on something very few people are going to see, we wouldn’t blame you one bit. Head to Arket, we say. There, you’ll find a sub-£20 model that’s both generously sized and appealing to behold.

Bottega Veneta

Sometimes just one kind of construction says it all. Keeping things simple (and yet, oh-so-stylish) through the brand's signature Intrecciato-leather weaving style, Bottega Veneta’s classic wash bag is detailed with a side strap and zipped pocket inside. Guaranteed to keep you in good standing amongst the fashion crowd, it's an instant ‘yes’ from us.

Brunello Cucinelli

• Colours: Tan, black

With a price tag that’s not for the faint of heart, this Brunello Cucinelli wash bag is true to the ethos of the label that made it: if your new purchase isn’t an heirloom, why buy it? Grained leather and carefully sectioned, this wash bag does everything that its equivalents do…the only difference is that you’ll want to pass this one onto your offspring.

The Best Wash Travel Bags – Laundry Bags For Travel

There are two types of backpackers in this world: organized packers and disorganized packers. When all you have is a backpack to store all your travel belongings, it’s safe to say you won’t be traveling with an extensive wardrobe.

Simply put, travel is dirty work, and without stable accommodation, a personal laundry machine, or a daily routine, laundry might just be one of your biggest problems on the road. Traveling with only the essential clothing combined with daily hikes and adventures, you’re bound to charge through your clean clothes quicker than you can say ‘washbag.’

Lucky for you, modern adventurers have designed a nifty bag device that makes it easy to wash your clothing on the go. Lightweight, small, and easy to pack with you in your backpack, there is no excuse to wear your dirty clothing over and over (and we could not be more thankful).

To clear things up, a wash bag is by no means a toiletry bag to hold your toothbrush and hair products. Nope, these are different products with their own article. Instead, I’m talking about a bag that makes it possible to wash your clothing on the go.

Don’t let some smelly t-shirts ruin your buzz. Take your pick from these ten best travel wash bags on the market today, and get your order in quick:

Whether you’re exploring a new European city on foot at ten miles a day, hiking a bucket-list volcano in New Zealand, or partying the night away in Thailand , clothing gets dirty especially fast, when we’re on the road. 

There are various ways to keep your clothing clean while traveling:

Firstly, you could make use of hotel and hostel laundry services. However convenient, with hotels charging per piece of clothing, this service adds up fast. I don’t know about you, but I’d much rather spend my vacation savings on street food and adventures than the convenience of clean clothing. 

A slightly cheaper option would be to outsource laundry services. There are plenty of laundromats in backpacker hubs that charge a smaller fee per piece of clothing. That said, I’ve had countless items lost by laundry services before. And the worst part is, you’ll only notice you’re missing something when it’s too late. Self-service laundromats are another option, but sitting around and waiting hours for your clothing to wash and dry is an absolute no-no. 

One of my favorite ways to keep clothing clean is to wash it in the hostel shower and leave it to dry overnight. This is easy and convenient with things like travel underwear, swimwear, and light t-shirts, but it won’t cut it for heavy clothing. If you have the energy to scrub away at a pair of jeans, chances are they will not dry fast enough and will end up smelling even worse than they did before you washed them – no, thank you.

One thing you can do to keep your bag organized and your clean clothes clean is to keep your dirty clothing separate from your clean clothing. For basic hygiene reasons that I shouldn’t have to explain, this is where the iconic travel laundry bag comes into play. Not only are they useful for separating clothing, but they’re also necessary when it comes to transporting your dirty goods to get cleaned.

Space is tight; I get it. So, the first thing you’re going to want to look at in a wash bag is its size and weight. Sure, the smaller, the better, but you’ll also want to consider the volume each bag holds and how much washing you can do per load. Of course, you’ll also want to look for a bag that is easy to use and uncomplicated to clean.

Second, if you’re using your wash bag in the bush, outback, or mountains, you’re going to want to find a bag that helps reduce microplastics in each load. Microplastic-minimizing bags can also be used in washing machines since they catch most of the microplastics that are released from any synthetic materials before they end up floating in your local river. 

Going one step further, I would also recommend purchasing a bag made from eco-friendly materials that don’t lose fibers and microplastics themselves.

Mostly used by hikers, trekkers, backpackers, and eco-warriors, there are more travel wash bags out on the market than you might expect. Sure, you might have to hit the right shops and scour the web to find the best ones. But they are out there, keeping travelers fresh and reducing microplastics, one bag at a time.

To make your search for the perfect wash bag easier, we’ve put together a list of ten products that we have tried and tested. As always, these are the best of the best wash and laundry bags for travel:

• Size: 22 x 13 x 6 inches
• Weight: 6.5 ounces
• Capacity: 35 liters
• Price: $29.95

Ah, the classic laundry pack. Whether you’re an overly organized packer or a clean freak like me, a laundry pack is an essential accessory for outdoor enthusiasts or backpackers looking to maintain organization during their adventures.

Empty, the REI Co-op Laundry Pack is as lightweight as it gets. Designed with mesh sides and thin material, you’ll hardly notice its weight at all. Packed full, it can fit up to 35 liters of dirty laundry (or clean clothes). Made from durable ripstop nylon and mesh sides for breathability, you can stuff in your dirty laundry without worrying about breaking the bag. Close it up with the easy-to-use drawstring, and you’re good to go.

My favorite thing about this bag is that it doubles as a little travel backpack . It features webbing straps to allow you to carry it like a backpack to and from the wash. Heck, you could even use it as a day-pack and double its usage. I can’t promise you it’s the most comfortable backpack, as the product prioritizes being practical and lightweight over comfort, but it sure does do the job!

It’s also easy to wash. I put it on a gentle machine wash, and it worked wonders (but maybe check the inside label before following my lead). Best of all, it’s super affordable, selling for around $30.

• Size: 54 x 32 cm
• Weight: 5.3 ounces
• Capacity: 3 gallons
• Price: $54.95

Useful for backpacking adventures, hikes, and camping trips, and even to use at home, the Scrubba Wash Bag is one of the world’s lightest and most affordable wash bags for travel. This small bag is designed to wash your clothing – yes, I mean restoring your dirty clothing to clean – without the use of electricity or the heavy machinery you may be used to.

In just three to five minutes and using between three and six liters of water, you can wash a small load of laundry on the go. It’s also priced at just $55, affordable enough for just about all travelers and campers can pack less bulky clothing and survive on just the essentials on an adventure. 

Sound too good to be true? Convenient, light, and pocket-sized, this little companion really will help you save money, water, and time while remaining fresh as a daisy. The modern take on the good old-fashioned washing machine, the undyed and unbleached bag, uses a washboard mechanism that allows you to wash clothing without electricity. 

Aside from how lightweight and convenient it is to use, it’s an incredible product to use in places where water is scarce. AND it’s more hygienic than a dirty hostel sink.

• Size: 50 x 74 cm
• Weight: 79 grams (2.8 ounces)
• Price: $34.95

Weighing less than three ounces, the GUPPYFRIEND Washing Bag is one of the lightest and most compact washing bags on the market. It’s also one of the most effective solutions against microplastics.

If you weren’t already aware, synthetic fabrics like nylon, polyester, and acrylic are made from microplastic materials , of which tiny pieces are lost every time you wash your clothing. Microplastics? In my clothing? Yup! Especially when washed in a rough washing machine, these tiny particles eventually make their way into rivers and oceans, and we all know how the rest of that story goes.

But with a GUPPYFRIEND laundry bag for travel, you won’t have to worry about your micro-footprint. Not only does the bag reduce synthetic fibers from shedding during washing, but it also filters any microplastics out before they make it into the water. 

The bag is made from high-tech recycled polyamide materials that don’t lose fibers themselves, all while protecting your clothing and reducing pilling. It’s as easy to use as any washing bag. All you need to do is pack it with synthetic clothing and throw it in the washing machine. Clean the filter and dispose of the microfibers correctly, and you get a big old thumbs up from Mother Nature.

Unlike the product above, you’ll still need a washing machine to wash your clothes. So, it might not be as water and electricity (and therefore budget-friendly) as we could hope.

• Size: 15.2 x 40.6 x 15.2 cm
• Weight: 141 grams
• Capacity: 150 grams
• Price: £45 ($55)

Would you ever believe that you can hold a manual washing machine in the palm of your hand?

Built on the concept of the original Scrubba Wash Bag, the 2.0 is an upgraded product that allows you to wash your clothing on a patented washboard mechanism from just about anywhere in the world. On top of a mountain? In the snowy Alps? On a boat trip? No problem! This lightweight and small eco-friendly wash bag is a hiking and camping essential.

It is so small and light that the flexible washboard bends and folds into a compact, pocket-sized device and takes up almost no space in your backpack. This wash bag for travel is also super easy to use, with simple instructions showing you how to wash your clothing in just six steps. 

The best thing about it is its eco-friendly commitment. With just three to six liters of water and a bit of arm power, you’re stinky clothes will be as fresh as new. It’s also super convenient for backpacking trips where space is limited. Instead of packing multiple options of clean clothing, you can pack less and wash clothing along the journey.

Sure, it might not be as effective for bulky jerseys and heavy jeans, but the product can efficiently wash small to medium loads of t-shirts, underwear, delicates, and gym clothing. 

I also love that with the correct eco-friendly detergent , you can even wash your clothing with salty water and dispose of the dirty water without worry.

Scrubba Mini Wash Bag – Ultra Compact

• Size: 12 x 12 x 2.5 cm
• Weight: 0.08 kg
• Capacity: 85 grams
• Price: £35 ($43)

The smallest and lightest washing machine on the market, the Scrubba Mini Wash Bag is the compact version of the original Scrubba Wash Bag. The difference? It’s 50% lighter than its big sister, weighing less than 2.5 ounces, and only uses between one and two liters of water per load.

Of course, it doesn’t fit as much into one load and is more convenient for washing socks and underwear than larger pieces of clothing. Perfect for those on the go, staying in hostels, dorms, or camping, the patented washboard-in-a-bag design allows you to give the effectiveness of a machine wash in under five minutes. 

How does it work? Well, you simply fill it with water and a small amount of eco-friendly detergent (not included in the price), seal it like a dry bag, and deflate the excess air, rubbing your clothes against the washboard for under three minutes. It really is as easy as one, two, three.

Designed for the ultra-light packing hiker, this travel wash bag can fit a few pairs of underwear and socks into one load or one t-shirt. Between washes, you can even use it as a mini dry bag or to store your dirty laundry. Heck, I even used it as a pillow once – oh, how we love a good multi-functional product!

Now, you  could spend a fat chunk of $$$ on the WRONG present for someone. Wrong size hiking boots, wrong fit backpack, wrong shape sleeping bag… As any adventurer will tell you, gear is a personal choice.

So give the adventurer in your life the gift of convenience: buy them an REI Co-op gift card!  REI is The Broke Backpacker’s retailer of choice for ALL things outdoors, and an REI gift card is the perfect present you can buy from them. And then you won’t have to keep the receipt. 😉

• Size: 12.25 x 6.75 x 4.5 inches
• Weight: 7 ounces
• Capacity: 6L

It’s hard to beat the style and elegance of a Patagonia product, and the same can be said for the Black Hole Cube. Whether using it to help you fit what you need into a small bag or suitcase, as storage in the back of your RV, or even to store clothing at home, the medium-sized Patagonia Black Hole Cube fits six liters worth of clothing in it, making it one of the most convenient packing devices on the market – and ill say it again, it’s damn good looking too,

It comes in a variety of color combos, from plain black to perennial purple and classic navy blue. Following Patagonia’s commendable commitment to the environment, the bag is made using recycled materials and fabrics. 

With a simple zip mechanism, it’s easy to get into the main compartment, which is then divided into equal halves with inner zip pockets. This shallow-pack design makes it easy to access your clothing without digging and disturbing your beautifully folded on-the-go wardrobe. Use it to store clean clothing and dirty clothing or to separate your clean from your clothing in each side of the bag.

This was my first time using a packing cube, and now that I have, I don’t know how I ever traveled without them! The convenience is unparalleled and makes packing up and moving a breeze. 

I find the exterior daisy chain design super convenient for connecting it to bags with a clip. The durable, water-repellent exterior finish is so weather-resistant that you could secure it onto the outside of a bag. It also has a large handle that makes the travel wash bag easy to grab on the go. 

• Size: 9 x 7 x 6 inches
• Weight: 2,08 ounces
• Capacity: 1, 2, and 3 liters
• Price: $39.99 – $66

Osprey makes great gear and has wowed the packing cube market with its Ultralight packing cube set, which features three different-sized cubes designed to make your packing experience as convenient as possible. Easy to use when packing a backpack, a suitcase, or just storing things at home, the cubes come in three colors (grey, blue, and white), are super lightweight, and fit one, two, and three liters worth of clothing in them, respectively.

As a matter of fact, don’t limit the bags to pure clothing storage. They can be used to store and keep anything organized on the road, from your electronics to your dirty laundry to your toiletries.

Osprey prides itself on innovation and quality, which is exactly what these packing cubes are. Their perfect rectangular design allows them to be packed together, wasting no space or time. 

The cubes may look small, but they really do fit a lot in them. I love that these products are made from a super lightweight yet durable material, which allows you to pack them as full as possible without them losing their shape too much. What’s the point of a packing cube if it morphs into a blob when packed full, right?

• Size: 10 x 3 x 21 cm / 18 x 3 x 26
• Weight: 66 g (small) or 165 g (large)
• Price: £17 – £36 ($21 – $44)

It might be small in size, but this doesn’t mean the Mammut Travel Washbag doesn’t pack a punch when it comes to convenient storage. Available in two different sizes and color options, this polyester wash bag for travel will become your best friend on the road.

The larger bag has three foldable sections and comes with a mirror and a metal hook for hanging up. It’s the most practical toiletry bag on the market, with two zippers and mesh compartments creating considerable storage space for your toothbrush, hair products, and sunscreen. The small bag is more compact yet has the same features of a hanging hook, mirror, and zipper compartments.

Perfect for a hiking trip or to store your essentials in the cabinet of your car, the bag weighs between 66 and 165 grams (depending on its size). I use it as advertised, to store toiletries, which I decant into small travel bottles. The bottles sit neat and upright and are always kept dry because of the mesh pocket storage. 

I like that the fixtures are made of a solid-feeling metal. The mesh also makes it super easy to see what is what and who is who in the zoo of your toiletries! One worry was that the elastic pocket tops might not last forever- especially with so much versatile outdoor use.

• Size: 15.24 x 12.7 x 20.32 cm
• Weight: 376 grams
• Capacity: 2 liters

And Osprey is at it again with a highly convenient padded washbag. Let’s get one thing straight: this bag won’t wash your clothing for you. Rather, it’s a toiletry bag that makes it easy to pack all your products and essentials into one small and organized space. 

The bag comes in one size and is made from a ripstop nylon fabric. The ultralight fabric is padded on the inside to make sure your products are well protected (super useful if traveling with small glass bottles, I must say). 

The Osprey travel wash bag has a rectangular form and is closed with a zip. It features multiple pockets and a dedicated space for certain items. One of my favorite features is the straightjacket compression system, which allows you to compress the bag to get rid of any space that isn’t being used. 

No doubt a handy bag for a camping trip or as your general medicine or toiletry bag, I found it really easy to find my things and keep everything well organized and in its place. Once wet, the bag dries fast, which is convenient when camping in all weather conditions. 

On the downside, some of the inner pockets are really small but are useful for things like earbuds or small containers. I would even recommend using it as a small electronics bag if the pocket sizes don’t suit your toiletries. I’m not entirely sure the top needs to be padded since most products and toiletries that one would camp with wouldn’t be too fragile in the first place. 

• Size: 40 x 60 x 0.8 cm
• Weight: 71 grams
• Capacity: 15 liter
• Price: £9.99 ($12.20)

It might look like a traditional dry bag, but the Go Travel Laundry Bag was designed for a different purpose. Its primary use is as a laundry bag, fitting as much as fifteen liters of clothing into the bag. Designed for all my clean-freak travelers who can’t stand dirty clothing rubbing shoulders with their clean clothing, the bag is designed to separate dirty from clean clothes.

Other than storing your dirty clothes in a breathable laundry bag for travel , the container has a buckled loop that makes it easy to hang on any hook or tree. The drawstring closure is great for sealing the dirty clothing inside the bag and protecting your clean clothing from contamination. 

When empty, the bag is lightweight and compact – so small you’ll hardly notice it in your bag. It’s also easy to wash and can be thrown in the same machine load as your dirty clothes. I can even recommend using it as a packing cube equivalent before you gather up the dirty clothing to fill it with. At the end of the day, it’s another bag that can help you stay organized on an adventure.

Let’s be honest: general hygiene aside, there is not much worse than wearing dirty clothing. From personal experience, it dampens my entire mood and confidence.

Instead, traveling with a lightweight and compact travel wash bag offers an easy, convenient, and affordable way to keep your clothes clean while on the road. Some of the bags on this list are specially designed to wash your clothing using minimal water and no electricity. Other bags are ideal for storing and packing your items in a systematic and organized manner. I even threw in a few toiletry bags to store either your toiletries or electronics. 

Conveniently, a bag is a bag, and storage space is always welcome when on the road. Whether you’re going on a camping trip, backpacking through a foreign country, or staying in well-to-do hotels, there are numerous ways to use the bags on this list on your next adventure. 

With bags designed to separate your laundry from your clean clothes and wash bags inspired by the good old washboard of our ancestors, you’ll never be left to wear the same stinky t-shirt three days in a row again. Phew!

When it comes to the gamut of travel essentials, a laundry bag often goes unnoticed until it’s needed (usually at the point in the trip when your soiled clothing items begin to outnumber your clean ones.) However, the right travel laundry bag can transform your journey from a cluttered mess to an organized adventure. 

Whether you're backpacking through Europe, embarking on a business trip, or simply taking a weekend getaway, these travel laundry bags ensure that your clothes stay clean and odor-free, and that your dirty items are kept separate until the next time they reach the washing machine. From breathable mesh bags to waterproof options, there's a travel laundry bag suited to every traveler's needs.

Best Overall

Eagle creek isolate clean/dirty cube.

Isolated compartments make it easy to separate your laundry based on clothing type and level of soil.

The zipper closure doesn’t go all the way around the bag.

This innovative bag features a dual-compartment design that allows for the separation of clean and dirty clothes, ensuring your garments stay fresh and orderly throughout your journey. The clean side provides a dedicated space for neatly folded clothing, while the dirty side accommodates used garments, keeping them isolated and contained to prevent odor transfer to clean items. This dual functionality eliminates the hassle of rummaging through luggage to find specific items and simplifies the packing and unpacking process. It’s a total game-changer for travelers. 

Another detail that sets the Eagle Creek Cube apart is its premium construction: crafted from high-quality, durable materials, this bag is built to withstand the rigors of travel, ensuring reliability trip after trip. Its lightweight design adds minimal bulk to luggage, maximizing packing space without compromising on functionality. We love that the Cube's breathable fabric on one side promotes air circulation, helping to prevent mildew buildup, while the opposite side is sturdier to lock in odor or moisture. This pack is also super versatile — whether embarking on a weekend getaway or an extended adventure, it effortlessly adapts to different packing needs. Keep in mind, though, that the more you pack into the side with clean clothes, the less room you will have for dirty clothes that accumulate (especially if you also brought another pack or suitcase). 

The Details: 10 x 14.25 x 4.5 inches | 100 percent polyester ripstop | 2.7 ounces

Best Organization

Travelon set of 7 packing envelopes.

A variety of seven different sizes makes it easy to find the right place for all your soiled items.

The plastic construction of these bags makes them sturdy rather than flexible.

Rather than one larger pack, this set by Travelon includes seven envelopes of ascending size. Each envelope is crafted to accommodate different types of clothing or travel essentials, from wet bathing suits or underwear to hiking shoes or sweatshirts, ensuring an organized approach to packing your belongings big and small. Whether separating clean clothes from dirty ones or categorizing items by type or usage, these envelopes provide an easy solution for travelers trying to keep track of their belongings on the go. The durable construction of these packing envelopes also ensures longevity throughout countless journeys — crafted from clear printed mesh PVC, they’re great for protecting clothing and accessories. The transparent design of the envelopes allows for easy identification of contents, so you don’t waste time rummaging. 

The Details: 6.5 x 5 inches (small), 13.25 x 9.5 inches (large) | Clear printed mesh PVC | 0.63 pounds

Best Water-Resistant

Alo keep it dry fitness bag.

It’s perfect for keeping wet swimsuits or sweaty fitness gear contained.

Its medium size makes it better for quick journeys.

Crafted with durable Tyvek and featuring a top buckle snap enclosure, this bag by Alo ensures that your laundry remains protected from moisture and water damage, making it perfect for travelers who frequently encounter wet or humid environments. Its water-resistant exterior shields your clothes from rain, spills, or accidental splashes, providing peace of mind during your adventures. Its lightweight, easy-to-carry design offers an easy solution if you need to bring your soiled linens to the laundry while traveling — perfect for after a big day of adventuring. Adaptable and stylish, it also works for trekking through rainforests or on your way back from yoga class.

The Details: Tyvek | Water-resistant

Best Compression

Gonex compression packing cubes.

These compression cubes ensure your soiled clothing doesn’t take up the bulk of your luggage space.

Be careful not to clamp your clothing with the zipper, or it could get stuck.

This set of four expandable packing organizers by Gonex allows you to maximize space in your luggage by compressing clothing, reducing bulk, and optimizing the storage capacity in your suitcase or duffel. The compression feature not only saves valuable space. but also helps to keep belongings neatly organized and odor free throughout the journey. They also prevent clothes from shifting and becoming wrinkled during transit. Crafted from premium nylon material, these packing cubes ensure long-lasting performance trip after trip, and each feature a handy top handle that makes them easy to individually carry. The set includes four cubes of ascending sizes, helping with the separation of various types of soiled linens. Since dirty clothes tend to take up tons of space as a trip goes on, these compression pouches ensure that they stay tidy and unobstructed. 

The Details: 4 bags | 17.3 x 13 x 3.54 inches (extra-large), 14.5 x 10.6 x 3.54 inches (large), 11.8 x 8.9 x 3.54 inches (medium), 9.8 x 7.5 x 3.54 inches (small) | Ripstop nylon | 0.75 pounds

Best Odor Blocking

Stnky wash bag.

Crafted with health workers in mind, this bag keeps your soiled linens (and their odors) from interacting with your clean ones.

While it has a small carrying loop, there is no larger handle.

This unique laundry bag by STNKY incorporates both an inner mesh bag and an outer layer made from odor-resistant polyester material. The clever design ensures that travelers never have to touch their soiled clothing, since dirty laundry is cradled by the inner layer, attached at the top of the bag’s interior. The inner mesh bag is made with zippers at both the top and bottom, so when travelers arrive home from a trip or pay a visit to the laundromat during their travels, they can simply unzip the bottom zipper and then unattach it from the outer. The entire mesh pouch can be thrown in the wash and in the dryer. It makes sense that the bag is favored by health care professionals such as nurses, doctors and EMTs who rely on the bag to keep themselves and their loved ones safe when bringing home scrubs. For those on the go, it means never having to come in contact with used airport outfits (or their odors) until they are fresh out of the wash. 

The Details: 16 x 14 x 0.3 inches | Polyester | 0.26 pounds

Best Durable

Thule clean/dirty packing cube.

Crafted from ultra rugged materials, this travel laundry container was designed with durability in mind.

Some might wish it could fit more inside, due to its dual compartments.

Crafted with high-quality materials, this packing cube by Thule ensures longevity and reliability for travelers entering even the most rugged of conditions. Its durable construction, featuring waterproof 100D ripstop nylon, YKK zippers and reinforced stitching, withstands the rigors of constant travel, ensuring that it remains intact trip after trip. Whether tossed into a suitcase, backpack, or carry-on, the Thule Clean/Dirty Packing Cube maintains its structural integrity, safeguarding your garments throughout your journey. Separate compartments meant for clean and dirty laundry allow for effortless organization while on the go, and the waterproof lining in the dirty clothing compartment locks in odor and moisture. 

The Details: 7.87 x 9.45 x 13.39 inches | Nylon | 0.4 pounds

Best Large Capacity

Aurflo jumbo mesh laundry bag - set of 2.

This dual set of extra large laundry bags is perfect for a longer trip.

There is no outer layer, so it might not be best for wet items.

With its spacious design and breathable-yet-tough material, this duo of laundry bags offers ample room to accommodate tons of dirty clothing, making it perfect for extended trips or family vacations. Since there are two that come with your order, it’s also easy for a couple to separate their soiled linens, or to separate dark and light colors. The latter is especially helpful as these are machine washable, so pre-sorted laundry post-trip becomes a breeze. Once in the washer and dryer, the bags help to protect your clothing as well. It’s also a plus that the mesh material not only provides breathability to prevent odors but also allows for easy identification of contents, ensuring efficient sorting. The inclusion of a sturdy drawstring closure and a loop for hanging or carrying adds to its versatility and usability while on the go. 

The Details: 24 x 20 x 0.5 inches | Polyester blend | 0.3 pounds

Veken 8 Set Packing Cubes

This travel organization set will not only keep your dirty laundry sorted, but your entire suitcase.

The laundry bag itself is not machine washable.

The packing cubes come in various sizes, allowing you to efficiently utilize every inch of your luggage space. A classic drawstring laundry bag can be used for all dirty clothes on short trips, or can function as the bag for storing your smelliest items. The other cubes in the set can be set aside for sorting other types of soiled linens. 

The Details: 20 x 14 inches (laundry bag) | Polyester | 1.26 pounds

Best Machine Washable

Grove co. laundry bag set.

This machine washable set will also protect your delicates when not traveling.

They may not be spacious enough for longer trips.

This duo of delicates bags is great for use at home and while traveling, providing you with a way to sort and protect your laundry all year round. Crafted from sustainably sourced machine washable mesh, they’re created by Grove Collaborative, which specializes in green household and personal care products. The machine washable mesh material makes it easy to see what’s inside, but contrasting colorful zippers also make it easy to identify which bag is which, in addition to their different sizes.

Best Collapsible

Honoma sturdy mesh laundry hamper basket.

It’s not only super portable, but incredibly affordable.

It can take up a lot of room if overstuffed.

Affordable, light and collapsible, this laundry bag provides some major bang for your buck without taking up virtually any room when empty. It’s constructed from thick mesh with sturdy side paneling, and can be purchased in a horizontal or vertical configuration. Its large capacity means it can hold tons of soiled laundry, making it a good option if you plan on staying in one accommodation for an extended period of time, and doing your laundry while traveling. An additional side pocket is perfect for stowing a travel-sized laundry detergent, and sturdy carrying straps make it easy to take it from point A to point B. The sturdy nature of this laundry bag might not make it the best option for shorter journeys or those where you might be moving around frequently, as you won’t be able to easily pop it into a suitcase when full.

Quiet Town Re:Canvas Laundry Bag Pine

It is both colorful and well-constructed.

There is only one large compartment, which doesn’t allow for sectioning laundry.

Crafted from durable, heavyweight cotton canvas, this bag by Brooklyn-based brand Quiet Town exudes playful elegance with its minimalist design and bold colors. The thoughtful inclusion of sturdy bright blue backpack straps ensures easy portability, so locals will be none the wiser that you’re toting dirty laundry around. The spacious interior provides ample room for stowing away your unlaundered garments, but be aware that there is only one large compartment. There is a small compartment on the front of the bag for laundry detergent, though, and a smaller one at the top of the interior compartment that would be perfect for coins or dryer sheets. Its collapsible design allows for effortless storage in your bags when not in use, making it an ideal choice for space-conscious travelers, and its attractive design means you can even use it as a normal backpack when the laundry is all done. 

The Details: 31 x 15 inches | Cotton canvas | 2 pounds

Dagne Dover Rae Roll-Top Dry Bag

Dagne Dover

This small travel bag is perfect for transporting a wet swimsuit or sweaty garments.

It won't fit more than a few garments.

This compact laundry bag features a roll-top design that not only maximizes space, but also ensures a secure closure, keeping odors and moisture at bay. Constructed from durable waterproof nylon with a roll and clip closure, it’s perfect to pop into your backpack before traveling to the beach or lake, or for use after a strenuous, sweat-inducing hike. Despite its petite size, the Rae Roll-Top Dry Bag boasts just enough room for storing dirty garments, making it ideal for short trips or as a supplemental laundry solution in larger luggage. A wipeable interior also means you can get multiple uses from it on one trip — if you aren’t using it for laundry at any one time, it can also store snacks for a hike or produce picked up from the local market.

The Details: 5.25 x 1”x 11 inches | Nylon | 0.21 pounds

Best for At Home and On the Go

It’s not waterproof.

For those who don’t have the storage space for multiple laundry bags, or simply want one that can do double duty, this classic laundry bag from Crate & Barrel is a great option. Made to fit inside of a hamper, it has drawstrings at the top and a sturdy carrying strap that also makes it easy to tote your laundry from the hamper to the wash, or to the laundromat while you’re traveling. Crafted from cotton canvas, it’s also machine washable, and can pack up tightly to fit into your suitcase or duffel bag. 

The Details: 15.5  x 15.5  x 27.5 inches | 100 percent cotton

Tips for Buying a Travel Laundry Bag

Prioritize materials the suit your needs.

When shopping for a travel laundry bag, it's crucial to pick one crafted from a material that aligns with your specific needs and travel style. Firstly, consider the durability of the bag. Opt for high-quality materials like ripstop nylon or polyester that can withstand frequent use and potential rough handling during travels. A durable laundry bag ensures longevity and reliability, preventing unexpected tears or damage that could compromise its functionality mid-journey. Additionally, prioritize water-resistant or waterproof materials if you anticipate exposure to moisture or inclement weather. This feature helps safeguard your clean clothes from accidental spills, rain showers, or damp environments, ensuring they stay dry and odor-free until laundry day. For those not anticipating rugged travels, and or anyone who prefers to prioritize washability, look for breathable mesh.

Consider the bag’s features

Each type of material presents an advantage. Polyester and nylon are both lightweight synthetic fibers that are designed to endure wear and tear. Polyester will repel water while nylon will absorb water. Neither are breathable, but natural fibers such as cotton are. Pay attention to what material best suits your needs and style of travel.

Those who travel with delicate garments will likely want a breathable, protective bag that can fold or hang. Others who travel under intense weather conditions should look for a durable, waterproof option. Adventure enthusiasts will likely want a laundry bag that allows clothing to breathe and prevents bacterial growth between adrenaline-pumping activities. You'll also want a bag that has a secure closure that's easy to use and won't break even if you fully stuff the bag with dirty items.

After investing in an excellent travel laundry bag, the last thing you want is to buy another one due to a defect or a short return period. Check the company policies to ensure you can get a refund should you need to exchange the laundry bag for a different option that better suits you. It is always worth noting the warranty as well as learning about free replacements and the corresponding time frame of availability.

Using a laundry bag while traveling is helpful for several reasons. First, it helps to keep your clean clothes separate from the dirty ones, maintaining organization and hygiene in your luggage. It also prevents odors and stains from spreading to other items, preserving the freshness of your garments throughout your trip. Many travelers find that using a laundry bag facilitates efficient unpacking, and it also helps speed up your wash if you have opted to use machine-washable, color-sorted bags.

Most mesh laundry bags can be thrown directly into the washer and dryer, solving the problem of washing the bag itself. Nylon and polyester laundry bags can usually be wiped clean with a wet cloth and mild soap. Before washing your travel laundry bag, make sure to double check the manufacturer's care instructions.

Some laundry bags can go in the dryer, but it depends on the material they're made of. Mesh or fabric laundry bags are generally safe for dryer use, but it's essential to check the care instructions first. Some laundry bags may be more prone to shrinking or melting in high heat, so it's crucial to follow the recommended drying settings to avoid damaging the bag. Additionally, if the bag contains any plastic components like zippers or drawstrings, it's usually best to air dry them.

According to Tumi creative director Victor Sanz, “Your garment bag should be sturdy, functional, and sleek. If you’re frequently traveling by plane, a garment bag that folds to fit carry-on requirements is essential.” He adds, “You want to find the size that will fit all your clothes without having to overfold them and will allow you to reach your destination in style.”

Once you start using one of these, you’re never going to go back.
