In this product review I give you 7 reasons why this is the best toiletry bag for travel. My only regret is not finding this essential hanging travel bag earlier in my travel life.

I've finally found the perfect travel companion in this bag and couldn't wait to share with my readers. The BAGSMART Toiletry Bag Hanging Travel Makeup Organizer with TSA Approved Transparent Cosmetic Bag Makeup Bag for Full Sized Toiletries is the best organizational toiletry bag I've found on the market and very reasonably priced. I've been traveling for 28+ years packing and unpacking toiletry items into shoes, side luggage compartments, zip lock baggies, you name it. I've tried finding space for all this in hotels and on cruise ships, only to be frustrated by the lack of space, especially when sharing with roommates. This is what led me to find the best bag out there and found it in the BAGSMART Toiletry Bag.


My First Impressions


When I first received this item in the mail, I was immediately excited to have a mini 'suitcase' for my toiletries. After taking it out of the box and unzipping and unfolding what would become my favorite travel essential, I was excited to add all of my toiletry items to see how they would look and fit so compactly. The material was so soft to the touch and zipper easy to use. The compartments opened easy enough for me to add the varied size of my products with one hand.

How I Tested the Product


I tested this product on the next cruise I took to Alaska. I had been using an over the door hanger organizer on my cruises which were clunky and took up tons of space. I knew I wanted something way smaller, more compact, and with the ability of taking it on all my travels, not just cruises. This new toiletry bag allowed me to ditch the old cruise organizer I'd been using. It also has saved me tons of times on my travels as both a checked luggage companion and a carryon item. I keep my toiletries packed in between my frequent travels so I don't have to keep packing and unpacking and trying to figure out if I've missed an item or not. Each section of the bag is has separate organizational spaces for my bath products, makeup, mani-pedi necessities, toilet necessities, and more. Having the ability to hang it in bathroom keeps the counter free of clutter or if there is no counter space, a place for my items.


I've used this product on my cruises, 7 day trip to Rome, travels to weekends in Michigan, Arizona, other weekend getaways, and long visits seeing family. I have had other family members test this product and love it as well.

  7. This product has an easy handle to carry.

"I like it very, very very much. It holds a lot more than you think it does and everything‘s all in one bag." - Tester

Pros and Cons


This product could solve your problem having to figure out how to travel with your toiletries but maybe not your brushes. I've stopped traveling with bulky brushes and large hair spray bottles. I use a compact brush and a sustainable comb I got for free from the airlines. If you travel with larger bulkier items, such as round brushes, gel bottles, and sprays, this essential toiletry bag may not be for you. I purchased the standard size.


  • Large Capacity: Medium size: Rolled - 11'' x 3.7" x 7.9"; Opened - 9.5'' x 4" x 26.5; Large size: Rolled: 12.2'' x 4" x 9"; Opened: 10.5'' x 4" x 29.8. 4 separate compartments with 1 TSA-approved cosmetic bag

  • Travel Friendly: Separate TSA-approved transparent toiletry bag strictly follows 3-1-1 regulations. Easy and quick to pass through airport security


If you have a need for larger capacity and cannot part with larger toiletry items, you may want to consider this item from BAGSMART:




Large Capacity: Dimensions: 12.2''L x 10.4''W x 6.9''H. 6 compartments meet all your storage needs. 1 Top mesh zipper pocket store small items. 1 main large capacity compartment can keep all your travel essentials organized. 2 side pockets separate wet and dry items. 1 front PVC pocket for makeups. And 1 area is dedicated to storing makeup brushes. Suitable for your business trip or weekend holiday.



The Final Score


In my 28 years of travel, my experience with this bag since August 2024 on my cruise to Alaska makes me the perfect person to give a recommendation for this bag. I give this bag a 5 out of 5 stars and two thumbs up. The value for money, the convenience for travel, the organization system, and the material make this a super winner in my book and the first item on my MUST HAVE Travel essentials list.
