State Bags Benson Toiletry Kit for $68: This can be a stable, easy bag with three mesh pouches and a snap-in/snap-out plastic envelope that would theoretically maintain one thing messy like a toothbrush or bar of cleaning soap. The navy model I examined had a coated polyester wipe-clean exterior and inside made out of recycled bottles, and I favored that it had the choice to hold. Nevertheless, the group was extra rudimentary than similar-category luggage we examined, and it was lacking a few of the considerate particulars featured on different luggage in the identical value vary, like a quick-access pouch on the again and a bigger hook with a rubber tip to forestall slipping. (This bag’s thick, small plastic hook wasn’t even large sufficient to hold on a towel rack.)
July Hanging Toiletry Bag for $85: I personal and love July’s carry-on suitcase, so I used to be excited to strive the model’s fashionable hanging toiletry bag. It is an awesome design with a zippered pouch on the again, plus a physique that zips flat to disclose PVC and pouch zip compartments and a big, rubber-tipped steel hook that tucks away. It appears to be like well-made and classy with leather-based trim and gunmetal {hardware}, however my husband took it on a enterprise journey and located that its pockets are literally fairly small, confirming a fear I had after I examined it in my toilet at residence. It would not be a problem if the bag itself had been small, but it surely took up a full quarter of the carry-on.

It has a clamshell design with a sturdy inside plastic hook. My quart bag of bottles goes into the big decrease zip compartment, my toothbrush and deodorant within the high compartment, and there’s mesh pockets and MOLLE webbing in order that your tiny issues are simply seen. Nevertheless, its dimensions are very giant, so this won’t be for you if you happen to’re a minimalist with only a toothbrush and a comb. —Adrienne So

It additionally appears to be like like a cute little purse with its 16 fashionable colour choices, twin handles, and steel backside studs. Nevertheless, contents aren’t as simple to entry as different beauty circumstances that simply open from the highest—it’s a must to lay the Calpak flat to open either side, which requires a 16-by-10-inch footprint, and the all-clear building is not very discreet.
