What a Woman Wants for Her Toiletry Bag
Every woman wants a cute toiletry bag that can keep all her essentials neatly organized and last long for all her travels. But what else should a woman consider in her toiletry bag?
✔️ Waterproof – Unless you want your shampoo or other liquids to leak and make a mess in your suitcase or on your bathroom counter, a waterproof toiletry bag is something that you definitely want to consider. You can always opt for bar soaps and shampoos, however, there might not be a ‘bar’ or a solid alternative for your other liquids. So, water-resistant toiletry bags all the way!
✔️ Has a handle / hook – A toiletry bag that can handle all your travel essentials would be even better if it comes with a handle! It’s easier to carry, especially when unpacking from your suitcase to the bathroom counter, cabinet, or wherever you’d like to put it. Always check the handle for durability, especially if you’re planning to fill your toiletry bag to the brim.
✔️ Easy access – You want a toiletry bag that lets you find what you need right away whenever you need it. The answer is a clear toiletry bag. . Yes, that’s right. No need to dig around for you toothbrush or floss whenever you need them.
✔️ TSA-approved – If you’re a frequent flyer, you should know by now that the TSA requires each person to carry a limited amount of liquids in their carry on. All your 3 oz. liquids (including makeup items like mascara, foundation, etc. and skin care products) need to fit in 1 quart size bag. Having a TSA Approved toiletry bag will surely make your airport security experience a breeze.
Different Types of Travel Toiletry Bags for Women
“To each their own (toiletry bag)…” From hanging toiletries to clear ones, there’s a perfect match for every lady out there. Choose not only what best represents you as a traveler but also one that can keep your toiletries light and organized.
1. Hanging Toiletry Bag – If you like your essentials hanging rather than laying flat on a surface, a toiletry bag with a hanging hook will definitely float your boat. This will make it easier for you to hang them on towel racks, shower rods, and even on doorknobs.
2. Expandable Toiletry Bag – From its name alone, expect that a large toiletry bag for women will be able to contain all your travel essentials with its expandable capacity. Toiletry bags of this kind usually have multiple separated pockets and compartments, like a house with many rooms, that lets you store as many products as you want. However, this type of toiletry bag needs to be packed in checked luggage.
3. Purse Toiletry Bag – This type of bag is like a purse for your toiletries. The handle is on the side instead of the usual top and is smaller and more compact than other types. And yet despite being so, it provides adequate space to store all your essential travel-sized items.
4. Compact Travel Toiletry Bag – A compact travel toiletry bag allows you to customize and pack more while saving space. These toiletry bags usually have detachable pouches and mesh pocket designs that will let you organize your essentials right where you want them to be.
5. Clear Toiletry Bag – This type of toiletry bag lets you pass through airport security easily, especially if it’s a quart-sized clear bag with 3 ounce liquids in it. Since it’s made of clear plastic material, you will be able to find your toiletries right away whenever needed. This type of toiletry bag is usually easier to clean compared to mesh or fabric ones. You just simply wipe it with a towel or tissue, and voila! Good as new.

Hygiene Kit Packing List (Covid Friendly)
Aside from having a full-pledged toiletry bag in your carry-on suitcase or checked luggage, a hygiene kit is one you must carry in your personal bag at all times. The pandemic has affected the travel industry greatly and health must be your first priority as a traveler.
✔️ Hand Sanitizer – With what’s going on in the world today, you would never want to leave your house without a bottle of hand sanitizer. It keeps your hands free from many bacteria and harmful germs. The TSA is currently allowing every passenger to carry 1 hand sanitizer up to 12 ounces in their carry-on bags. Read more about that here.
✔️ Anti-Bacterial Wipes – An all-around travel essential that you must have in your hygiene kit. Remember to wipe door handles and other surfaces that you’ll be in contact with. Put them in reusable pouches so you can just refill whenever you run out.
✔️ Alcohol – Best kept in a travel-sized spray bottle so you can easily disinfect items that need to be cleaned. I
✔️ Tissues – Essentials to keep your skin free from oil, dirt, and dust when traveling. The greatest thing about this travel essential is that it’s available anywhere in the world. So if you happen to run out while traveling, you can easily refill and replace it in your hygiene kit.
✔️ Disposable Gloves – If you’re extra particular about things you touch and wiping just won’t cut it, pack a few disposable gloves with you to keep your mind at ease. Whether you’re shopping for your travel needs or sanitizing the things in your hotel room, a pair of latex gloves will keep your hands safe from germs and bacterias lurking about. Remember to wash your hands with soap and water after using the gloves.
✔️ Disposable Face Mask – The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends everyone to wear masks especially when in public. And since you’re traveling, make sure to bring extra disposable masks just in case you meet someone who needs one.
✔️ Travel-Size Soap – Having your own mini bar or liquid soap with you everywhere guarantees you can wash your hands even when you’re on the go. Hand sanitizers and isopropyl alcohol tend to make your hands sticky if you don’t wash with water first.
✔️ Digital Thermometer – To monitor and check your temperature if ever you feel a little under the weather. Some establishments will not allow customers to enter their buildings if their temperature is above the normal temp. A digital thermometer allows you to take your temp quickly and accurately.
