Best Toiletry Bags
Standout Picks
Criteria Used for Evaluation
Features
There are certain features in a toiletry bag that makes them stand out from other bags on the market. Mesh pockets are always a plus when it comes to bags meant to hold a bunch of different types of accessories, because it means that you can see at a glance where everything is, and you won’t have to rummage around in a bag to find a pair of clippers, for instance. Bags that also had a look at the top is always a welcome plus because it means that you will have the opportunity to free up some countertop space by hanging your bag on the wall. Built-in mirrors are a feature that comes with some brands, and that is always a welcome plus. Sometimes when you are camping in the middle of the woods and you need to shave or makes you got all of the soap out of your hair, a mirror can be a much-needed tool that we often forget about how often we need one. However, if you are camping and don’t have access to the proper tools you require to look your best- such as a hair dryer or powerful shower… you might want to opt for the bag that doesn’t come with the mirror- for your own personal benefit and self-esteem.
Materials
While cotton and various types of soft fabrics might seem nice, they are absolutely the worst materials for toiletry bags- so we avoided those types of materials at all costs. The materials that make the best toiletry bags are ripstop nylons and different types of treated polyesters. While water-resistant exteriors were good, waterproof shells were even better. If we decided to select a bag that only had a water-resistant shell, we made sure to check the lining of the bag to make sure that it was line with a thick waterproof material. You are most likely purchasing a toiletry bag because you have suffered the messy plight of a leaky shampoo bottle for the very last time, and want to purchase something to solve that problem. If the bag cannot keep shampoo away from your clothes- then it is not a very effective bag.
Value
While there really isn’t a market for high-end toiletry bags that rival the cost of a car payment, some of the bags on the market were a little bit more expensive than others, and most of them for no real discernable reason. While we want to ensure that you get the best bag out there, no one wants to pay extra for something when they can get virtually the same item for half of the cost. We made sure to inspect each product on this list to make sure that the lower price point wasn’t due to inferior materials or poor craftsmanship. Money should be spent on buying road trip snacks and marshmallows to be roasted around a fire, so if we found an opportunity to save you a little bit of money- we took it.
Use
You would assume that when it comes to the best bags for your bathroom accessories, the bigger the bag- the better. But this isn’t always the case. Of course, you want to bring all of the items that you require to look your best and stay clean and fresh, but you also don’t want to weigh down your luggage in order to achieve this. The best bags out there were able to allow you to bring all of the things that you need, but also keep them neat and organized. When we began selecting the best bags, we used a certain set of criteria to judge all of the different styles and brands against. It may be a tad vain, but this is a bag isn’t something that you will be shoving under the bed once you reach your destination. It will be something that will be out and on display in the bathroom at the place you are staying or hanging from a tree at your campsite. With that in mind, we wanted to select bags that looked sharp and were offered in a variety of colors for the consumer to choose from. Just as you always want to present the world with your best self- no matter where you are in the world- we wanted to keep that same motivation in mind when selecting the above products.
