I've Been Using This L.L. Bean Hanging Toiletry Bag for 20+ Years

"In my opinion, the best products are the ones that are so essential, you can't remember a time without them. Exhibit A: my beloved L.L.Bean Hanging Toiletry Bag. I know I've had it longer than I've been a parent, and my babies are now 19 and 21 years old. If you don't want to do the math, I'll help you out-this $40 toiletry organizer has been on my packing list for 20-plus years."

"While the product is clearly made for travel, I actually use it both at home and on the road. Because I keep my daily essentials in the bag at home, it's always ready to go. When it's time to pack for a trip, it's already loaded with my must-have, yet easy-to-forget items, like extra contact lenses and solution."

"L.L. Bean has updated this toiletry bag a bit since mine was made by integrating one of the zipper pouch flaps into the main bag, adding handy side compartments, and throwing in a removable shower caddy. And while I do find my older version to still be quite perfect, I'm not going to argue with these genius design improvements. One thing that has stayed the same is the use of water-resistant nylon that makes it super easy to clean."

A versatile L.L.Bean hanging toiletry bag serves as both a travel essential and an at-home organizer. The bag stays packed with daily necessities, enabling instant departures and preventing forgotten items like contact lenses and solution. Multiple compartments include two zippered pouches in the top flap, a main compartment with soft mesh pockets, and side-zip storage, while a sturdy built-in hook enables hanging in bathrooms. Recent updates added integrated zipper flaps, side compartments, and a removable shower caddy. Water-resistant nylon construction keeps the bag easy to clean and long-lasting, with a modest $40 price point.
