Whether you’re a frequent traveler or a weekend warrior, a decent wash bag is probably the most useful pre-holiday purchase you can make. But even seasoned travellers know that not all wash bags are created equal. The best toiletry bags are spacious enough to accommodate the essentials (like a toothbrush, shave gel and travel-size shampoo), have thoughtfully designed features like extra pockets for cologne, deodorant and hair spray as well as elastic loops for slim items or shaving brushes, and can be stuffed into the tightest of suitcase compartments with ease. And, of course, they should also look stylish and masculine.
Fortunately, the perfect mens toiletry bag selections are more accessible than ever before. Whether you’re searching for something sleek and minimal, or a rugged carry-all that can handle abrasions, there’s a dopp kit to suit every taste. We’ve rounded up our top picks, from the most compact to the most sophisticated, in the gallery below.
For those who want a toiletry bag that’s as minimal as possible, check out the Dagne Dover Mila—it’s essentially a plush drum made of water-resistant recycled nylon. Unzip the lid and you’ll find a grid that divides the bag into several separate sections. This helps keep products from rubbing against each other and makes it easy to find the one thing you’re looking for without having to empty the whole bag.
If you’re looking for a more spacious mens toiletry bag selection, consider the Cuyana Travel Beauty Case. It’s made from buttery soft leather that’s both sturdy and stylish, and comes in three classic colors. It’s sized to fit in most luggage, including weekenders and carry-ons, and its interior is fully lined with waterproof fabric for peace of mind on your next excursion.
Similarly, the Sea to Summit small Travelling Light Hanging Toiletry Bag is packed with thoughtful storage options. Its internal zippered pocket is divided into multiple sections to help keep all of your toiletries organized, and it’s also built for durability with a rugged waxed canvas and hardy leather handle. And, it’s easily hung from your shower hook, making this the perfect toiletry bag for camping trips.
