I am shocked at just how poorly made this product is. I read some other reviews which noted that the Travelon bag rips easily, but since there are so few comparable products on the market (which is a shame) I decided to accept the risk. I'm sorry that I did -- normal handling caused the bag to form a small tear along one of the seams the first time I used it. As if to add injury to insult, the seams on the outside of the bag are so sharp that I cut myself reaching into my backpack to retrieve it (and I don't mean a scratch, either -- I was bleeding). This bag is junk and Travelon must realize that -- I'm disappointed that they brought such a crappy product to market and won't be buying another (or anything from Travelon, for that matter) ever again.

I liked the first one so much that I bought a spare. A good thing, too, since the first one quickly ripped. Then the second one ripped as well. I was more interested in the bag than the bottles but the one container that i used chipped on its maiden voyage. Save your money and stick with Zip-Loc.

The bag itself was fine (until I was forced to check my bag, and the cold temps in the cargo hold caused it to crack to pieces). But the bottles are cheap and the shape would make them hard to use, and the plastic jars were so flimsy that 3 uses had the lids cracking off in shards. I gave up and am just buying vinyl, gusseted zip-loc bags (with no bottles) from an online paper store. 12 bags for $15 plus shipping.

The lids cracked the first day of travel. I ended up throwing them away and buying new cosmetics. The bags are sturdy but sharp along the edges. Stay away from these!!

Don't even bother buying this bag. Keep on shopping. It ripped wide open when I pulled it out of the envelope after I received it.

I bought three sets of these, and most of the containers' lids (both the bottle and the round jars) broke after several trips. They did function well for several trips, but I wanted them to last for many trips, not just a few, especially for the price. The bag was too stiff and had edges that were rather sharp. I prefer the flexibility of a ziploc bag. Would not buy again. I am now searching online for a better option.

These worked perfectly on a 7 day trip. Each container was just the right size for a week away from home. Highly recommended!
