I bought this product myself and this review is based on my own experience.
I’ve had this travel toiletry bag for around 18 months, and I paid about £18 for it.
It sounds like a fairly simple purchase, but it has genuinely made staying away from home much easier for me.
I seem to travel with a ridiculous number of lotions, potions and toiletries, and they used to take up a huge amount of space in my suitcase.
They also made the case heavier, which is particularly noticeable when you arrive at a hotel with no lift and have to carry everything up several flights of stairs.
I also had another problem.
A toiletry bottle once leaked inside my suitcase and went all over my clothes.
I ended up having to go shopping late at night to find something suitable to wear for work the next day.
After that, I definitely wanted a better system.
How I organise it
The bag has four separate compartments, which makes it really easy to organise everything.
I tend to divide mine into different sections:
- tablets and medication
- shower products
- toothbrush and toothpaste
- deodorant, face cream, hair products, brush and other everyday toiletries
Everything has its own place, so instead of rummaging around through a wash bag, I can see exactly where everything is.
The clear compartments make it easy to organise everything and see what I’ve packed without rummaging around.
The clear compartments make a big difference
The compartments have clear windows, which sounds like a small detail but is actually really useful.
I can see what is inside each section without opening everything.
That makes getting ready much quicker, especially when I’m tired or trying to get ready for work in a hotel room.
It also helps when I’m packing to come home because I can quickly see if something is missing.
It hangs on the bathroom door
One of my favourite features is the built-in hook.
I can hang the whole organiser on the back of the bathroom door.
That means all my toiletries are together, easy to reach and off the sink.
In smaller hotel bathrooms, that is particularly useful because there often isn’t much surface space.
I hang the whole organiser on the bathroom door so everything stays together and easy to reach.
It has stopped me leaving toiletries behind
Before I bought this, I cannot tell you how many times I left shampoo, conditioner or shower gel behind in hotel bathrooms.
It was usually because things were scattered around the shower or sink.
Now, because everything goes back into the organiser before I fold it up, it is much easier to notice if something is missing.
That alone has probably saved me quite a bit of money over the last 18 months.
It folds into a really practical carry case
Once everything is packed away, the organiser folds up into a compact carry case.
I particularly like that it can sit over the handle of my suitcase.
That means I don’t necessarily have to carry it separately when I’m moving through a hotel, station or car park.
If I do have to carry my case upstairs, it is also much lighter than using a traditional hard vanity case.
Once everything is packed away, it folds into a lightweight carry case
It is lightweight
The outside is made from fabric rather than a heavy rigid material.
That means the bag itself doesn’t add much weight before you start putting things inside it.
For me, that matters.
If I’m already carrying clothes, shoes, a laptop and everything else I need for a work trip, I don’t want my toiletry case adding unnecessary weight as well.
It is easy to clean
The bag is also easy to wipe down.
With toiletries, something will eventually leak or spill, so being able to clean the inside easily is important.
More importantly, if something does leak inside the toiletry bag, it is far less likely to end up all over the clothes in my suitcase.
After my previous experience, that is a big benefit.
Is there anything I don’t like?
After around 18 months of use, I honestly haven’t found a major negative.
The only thing I would say is that because it holds quite a lot, it can become heavy if you fill every compartment.
But that is really down to what you put inside rather than the bag itself.
The organiser is still much lighter and more practical than the bulky vanity cases I used before.
Who I think it would suit
I think this would be particularly useful for:
- people who stay away from home regularly
- anyone travelling for work
- people who take lots of toiletries
- anyone who regularly leaves toiletries behind in hotels
- people trying to keep their suitcase more organised
- anyone worried about shampoo or other liquids leaking onto clothes
- travellers who want something lightweight rather than a hard vanity case

My verdict
This is one of those products that doesn’t seem particularly exciting until you start using it regularly.
Before I had it, my toiletries were spread throughout my suitcase, bottles occasionally leaked, and I regularly left things behind in hotel bathrooms.
Now everything has a place.
I can hang it up, see exactly what I have, fold it away quickly and carry it with my suitcase without needing another bulky bag.
After around 18 months of use, it has become one of the things I automatically pack whenever I stay away from home.
For around £18, I think it has been excellent value.
Would I buy it again? Yes.
