The 13 best men's toiletry bags

Maintaining your self-care routine when you travel is a great way to avoid burnout and come home from your next trip feeling refreshed — and one of the best ways to keep your routine going is by making self-care a daily practice. That applies to everything from meditation and journaling to skincare. The best men’s toiletry bags can hold and organize all of your personal care essentials.

The first thing to consider when searching for a toiletry bag is the size. Larger bags will be able to store more (and larger) items, but the bigger the bag is, the more difficult it will be to pack in a suitcase. Small bags can be easily tucked away in luggage, but may only be able to hold enough supplies for a short trip. You’ll also want to think about whether you plan to primarily use your toiletry bag for travel or simply to keep your personal care items organized at home or at work.

Next, decide what material is best for your needs. Polyester and nylon are popular choices because they can be water-resistant or even waterproof, so a spilled bottle of shampoo won’t leak out onto your clothes. Leather is another great option because it’s durable and has a classic look. It’s not waterproof, but some leather bags have an internal waterproof liner to keep your belongings safe. Faux leather is a good choice for anyone who loves the look of leather, but wants something more budget-friendly.

You may also want a toiletry bag with special features, like a waterproof pocket you can use to store wet items. Some bags have hanging designs, which allow you to save counter space and easily see everything inside. There are also lots of different types of pockets, like fold-out side pockets, interior mesh pockets, and even removable pockets.
