I bought this toiletry kit for my husband because I was tired of seeing him stuffing all his toiletries on a groceries plastic bag every time we traveled somewhere. I was looking for something sturdy, easy to organize/find things. We have an upcoming 3-week trip and this kit has the perfect size. I haven't found anything this complete (with side pockets, see-through fabric, elastic holders, and hanger). I liked it so much, I'm buying one for myself, too!

I travel almost on a weekly basis and this traveling kit helps a lot. I can just throw it in my bag and go. Friends and family are always commenting on how great it is (and of course hinting for me to get them one). You won't be disappointed. It's durable and not cheap. The quality is great and compares higher to some purchased offline.

I've road tested this bag for three years now, and I must say that it's the best bag I've owned (actually, I purchased this elsewhere at a travel store, and mine is green, but it's the same style and manufacturer). With it, I've created a portable bathroom that rivals the cabinets in my own home.

This is a durable bag with lots of zippered compartments and storage. In my situation, I keep my contact lens & eye care in one compartment, my teeth cleaning in another, first aid in another, and other bulky items in the center of the bag. The two side pockets are also extremely helpful for larger items like saline solution, bottles of cologne, pens, or anything else you fancy. And, this bag also has a designated eyeglass compartment, though it is a fabric compartment, and not a hard one. I doubt anyone will be disappointed with the number of compartments.

The one thing I noticed after having the case for several years is that I grew tempted to fill this pack up to the brim (I mean, why not, it can handle it). It surely packs a lot. But, it can get rather heavy and sizable... but that's me. I like to feel like I have a portable bathroom accompanying me on trips. Certainly, you don't need to fill yours up as much as I do, but feel confident that you can fill it up if necessary.

The ONLY three flaws I've encountered was the following:

1. A simple thin metal retaining rod potruding from the side into the side pocket that eventually wore through (I simply push it back into place, however, and this item may not have that issue).

2. Inside the largest compartment in the center, there were elastic straps sewn in that are quite handy in restraining objects. Unfortunately, after about a couple of years, the elastic has stretched to the point of failure even though they are are still functional at helping separate items in the center compartment.

3. Lastly (a minor form detail), I like the fact that you can pretty much hang the bag anywhere away and off the counter and ground. However, I would have like to have included a hook for one thing. And the center of the pack does lean forward a bit away from the wall (in other words, not completely flat against the wall). It's not too much of a lean where things start falling out, but the pack could have been designed to sit flatter against any wall when hung, say, from a towel bar.

Nonetheless, I am completely satisfied with the case, and how well it can be stuffed to the hilt. Best I've ever owned, and I've owned many. Stitching is great... no tearing or loose threads. It is a soft pack with no hard shelled compartments. And, yes, when completely stuffed like mine, it can end up a bit bulky (fortunately, the closing strap is adjustable).

However, I've been around the world with this pack many many times, and will continue to do so for many many times more. A sturdy and wonderful companion for any traveller who wants an organized and spacious toiletry pack. I definitely recommend it!

I spend a couple of nights a month out on business. Looked around quite a bit for a replacement for a bag that was coming apart after many years. This bag is much more sturdy than the one it relaces. Love all the pockets/compartments. Couldn't be happier.

Huge! And the clip on the front broke within 3 months of light use. Really, too huge.

This is just what you need for any trip! It is the absolute perfect size to contain everything from toiletries to make-up! No more separate cases filling up your suitcase. It has a great hanging system so that you don't have to unpack your stuff at the hotel in order to find it all.

That means a lot if you go hotel hopping every couple days to different areas. It will also hold enough for a longer trip (maybe about 3 weeks) before you need to buy new supplies.

This is extremely well made, though it is made in China, and the red is an ACTUAL bright red color- not the pinkish-red shown in this image. It doesn't seem as if it will take up any more room in my luggage than all those separate cases did.

Also comes with a limited lifetime warranty. Great purchase, I will probably buy more of these as gifts! I haven't seen a bag like this before that is so well thought out.

I recently traveled for one month and used this organizer every day. It held up fantastically and was very convenient. The large central storage was able to hold my shaving cream, razor, toothbrush, toothpase, bars of soap, face wash, face lotion and a few other things. I also kept a larger container in each of the two handy side pockets.

I looked at a variety of sizes and styles, and this bag is more than perfect for my needs. I am ordering two more as gifts.

bulky, bulgy, hard to pack. it looked like a good idea, but this is really hard to deal with if you frequently travel light. by the way, it's hard to hang, too.
