Travel Essentials: Toiletry Bag
I got my toiletry bag from Target over five years ago. It doesn’t really matter which brand you get as long as the bag suits your needs. For me, I needed something that would hold all of my essentials in a size that was smaller than my old Caboodles box. For you, a Caboodles box might be perfect or even a tackle box. The important thing is that the toiletry bag is always full and ready to go. Last April, I included a packing list to help make your packing experience easier:
Many things on that list are toiletries. Now, I have a toiletry bag that holds EVERYTHING I will need like shampoo, toothbrushes and contact lens solution. Anything that I use in my daily life is in that bag. I also include some first aid items like bandages and triple anti-biotic. I even include some drugs like pain killers and anti-nausea medicines. Now, if I have to go out of town, all I need to do is pack my clothes and grab the toiletry bag. It has made packing for a trip much easier.
Here is a picture of my toiletry bag and a complete list of its contents.
- Contact lenses: cleaner, saline solution, case
- Binder clips
- Facial cleanser (travel size YOUR way)
- Multi-vitamin pills
- Calcium pills
- Perfume

- Fingernail clippers, tweezers and fingernail file
- Condoms and lubricant
- Bar of soap (travel size)
How did I get so many things in such a small case? The travel size bottles really help, but I also have another secret. Tune in on Monday to find out!
I was wondering if you could tell me the name brand of the toiletry bag? I had the same bag in the past, need another, and can’t recall it’s name to find it again. Thank you

I also had this same toiletry bag for 25 years and I loved it. Unfortunately, somebody stole our suitcase this weekend in New Orleans with it inside. I wonder if you could tell me the brand name I can’t recall too. Thank you.
