Side by Side Comparison of: eBags

With every toiletry kit I have purchased over the past 20 or so years, I have downsized each time. I started out with a monstrous thing given to me by my grandmother. I think this is perfect. It fits all I need, and nothing more. I find that I only pack what is needed, which cuts down on weight and waste. it is about 9 inches tall, so I purchased either smaller bottles of product, or got travel sizes. Obviously, It will not fit a hair dryer, but depending on the size of your hair brushes or flat iron, it may be able to accommodate them. It is flat, so I can easily put it in my suitcase. I am really happy with this purchase!

You can fit FULL SIZE products in this bag and still zip it! The expandable gusset on one side is great for times when you need just a little bit more space. Seems durable - eggplant color is nice and with the built in hanger - it is easy to find someplace to hang it in any bathroom. Makes packing easy too because it is so flat. LOVE it! Product arrived quickly with no shipping or quality issues. 100% satisfied!

Purchased this item along with eBags Small Packing Cubes - 3pc Set (Aquamarine) and eBags Medium Packing Cubes - 3pc Set (Aquamarine) for my daughter's 10 day school spring break trip to France and Italy. All fit into her Skyway Luggage Epic 25 Inch 2 Wheel Expandable Upright, Black, One Size and all color-coordinated in aquamarine. We were able to fit alot of items into this toiletry kit and nothing leaked. My daughter was neat and well-organized on her trip and received several compliments from her friends.

We usually pack our toiletries in a bag in our suitcase which takes up much room and requires unpacking and packing in each destination. This toiletry kit accommodated all our toiletries, took up the room of approx 1 pair of jeans in our suitcase. Best of all, when we arrived, we just opened it and hung it on the doorknob or towel rack (depending on the lodging.) I honestly can't believe how much we packed in this kit; looked overpacked to me, yet it zipped easily and lay flat without tears. Zippers are strong! Definitely recommend this. It's well worth the cost.

I was a little skeptical at first due to the shape of it. But oh my gosh it carries everything and I mean everything I need when I'm out on the road. I'm a flight attendant and so I don't have any liquid restrictions. So I was worried about certain odd shaped bottles and tubes I carry that wouldn't fit. But it all fits! I definitely recommend it to all my flight attendant friends and anyone who travels as much as I do. Don't let the shape fool you. It holds quite a bit. There's a pocket for everything you may need it for. I may just have to order another one. Fits flat right into my roller bag too. I'm very happy. I picked the green because it's my favorite color. You won't regret the purchase!

I -LOVE- this bag! I bought it right before 2 cross country trips within a month, so I got to try it out thoroughly. I also tried packing cubes, which I also love, but that's another review. This bag replaces a seperate 3-1-1 bag and 2 pouches (one dry, one wet). It all fits! I kept my 3-1-1 bag in my tote until I cleared security, then it slips perfectly into the larger middle compartment for the trip along with some nail clippers, comb, lady products, and band aids. The plastic lined section holds my toothbrush in holder and retainer case with room to spare. The other sections hold q-tips, medication (I don't check, just carry on), travel lint brush, floss, and a few other items I'm forgetting. And I didn't even need to expand the right side. But the best part is the bag remains thin and packable.The best part is how easy this is to pack. It was very inefficient to pack 3 small bags previously. Now it's all in one flat, compact bag with no bulges to deal with. This stacks very well with packing cubes and nicely fits across my suitcase. It would also stack well with folded clothing. I also had a mental lapse and bought a bit too much to bring home on my first trip. I was able to pack the packing cubes much better for the trip home and slip this bag into the small space in the empty "suiter" section (I leave the insert out so it's essentially just a buffer space between the main lining and compartments on the outside). Much to my surprise I was able to fill half the suitcase I thought was full on my outbound trip with stuff I bought. I was amazed, and the efficiency of this bag was a big factor in assisting with this because I was able to utilize a narrow space above the main interior because this could slide right in, where my previous 3 bag method resulted in thick spots that limited what could fit underneath.I'd recommend this to anyone that travels more than rarely. I travel 2-4 times per year and definitely feel this is worth the investment.

While still getting used to this item - new to me - I like the tidiness of traveling with this kit. Need a smaller version to complete my easy packing plan. Makes it easy to update with items between travels, too. Glad I bought it.

I have used this on 4 or 5 trips now and it has worked great. I like the expandable parts. This organizer holds a lot and I like that it is wider than most toiletry kits. It fits well in our large suitcase without taking up much space depth-wise (because it expands horizontally). For my use, I would have liked the portion for liquids to be a little larger but I'm sure it would work well for most people.

I think it's technically bigger than a pair of jeans.This thing fits soooo much!~Far right pocket I put a sonicare, travel toothpaste, dental floss,~2nd pocket from the right: travel hair brush, hair ties~Far left pocket (line with plastic): three 3 oz bottles (shampoo, conditioner, soap), one 1.25 oz bottle (face wash), nail clippers~Big middle pocket - pocket on the flap: four small bottles of medication, chapstick~Big middle pocket - thin pocket on front: tweezers, nail clippers.....I STIL have the actual big middle pocket to fill. I tested it out and that pocket can fit at least four 3 oz bottlesProbably not good for someone who is trying to travel with just a backpack and can't spare a single square inch - just because there is so much extra space left after the "essentials"

I bought this to add to my backpacking collection for when I travel abroad. I wanted a toiletry kit big enough to hold all of my things in one place so that when I'm going back and forth to hostel bathrooms, I can just bring one thing with me. This fits the bill for that. It's big enough to handle my overpacking tendencies but it's well-designed and flat so that I can more easily stack it in my backpack on top of other things. The side zipper pockets can also expand if you want to add extra space.The only reason I knocked a star off is because it's not designed particularly well for flying. The watertight plastic section on the side is long and narrow rather than wide, so it means that you can't just stick your Ziploc bag in there and pull it out easily. My Ziploc fits nicely in the center section, but I'm using that for other things. The minor annoyance of having to take things in and out of a Ziploc when flying definitely isn't enough to dissuade me from buying this.

I LOVE the design of this bag. We've had one for a long time, and it still looks brand new. Just bought another so that the males and females could each have shared kits for family vacations. The material for the waterproof section on the left has been changed; on the new version it's much thicker and more stiff than the old version. Some may appreciate that, but I'd rather have the fabric be more flexible, so I am deducting one star. I can fit a ton of stuff in it. On the left, cosmetics, brushes and a small mirror. In the center, shower gel, face wash, shampoo, conditioner, a small spray bottle, deodorant, and two small hair products, and a silicone diffuser. In the expandable pocket, a hair dryer and wide tooth comb. On the far right, a couple toothbrushes and toothpaste and room to spare.

Just the right size to fit everything you need on a one to two week trip for one. I also keep it in my truck when I am not traveling, It's thin but wide, and tall enough for your electric toothbrush or full size tube of toothpaste. When you don't think you have enough space in your bag and you realize you didn't pack your toiletries, you might be saved with this slim version of the traditional toiletry bag.

I like the flat design, but found that the pockets are all smaller due to the narrow design. I don't really do makeup but still find that it won't fit all of my stuff or that when I open the bag to hang for use, everything I have inside the middle pocket falls out.

Big in terms of taking up real estate but doesn't hold much. Still have to use additional bags that are more flexible and hold more.

The toiletry kit came missing the hook. Overall, it didn't seem worth the price, and I returned it for another case.

I like the theory of it and I'm using it but I'm having trouble finding the right place for my toiletries within the various compartments. I tend to miss the old bag I had which was one big pouch.

Well made however, compact, but it's too small to accommodate what I need when traveling. I travel with small containers of shampoo, cream rinse, electric toothbrush, tooth paste, etc....and makeup. Love their other packing bags.

I ordered the aquamarine bag and the color is true to the photo--very attractive. It's great that you can expand the bag a bit, but it's just not big enough for me. I'm sure that means that I carry way too much stuff in my toiletry kit, but so be it. The space on the far right did hold my manual and electric toothbrush as well as a small tube of toothpaste. But after putting a travel-sized shampoo and conditioner bottle in the large compartment on the left side, I was left with a space at the top only about 4 inches by 3 inches--not enough space for a little plastic bag with facial scrub. The middle compartment is relatively roomy, enough for 3-4 very small bottles and a few flat things.

After having read the earlier reviews, I was very excited to receive the eBags Pack It Flat Cosmetics Bag! Unfortunately I am VERY disappointed in the Size and amount it holds! I am a true cosmetics girl - I travel Internationally year round on business and each trip is two weeks long or better! I was hopingto use the eBag to contain either my Cleaning-Moisturizing Products or My Color and Make Up Products! This bag (though very well made) is REALLY not a bag for any serious Cosmetics / Makeup Skin Care female! However, I will say that It looks like it would work well for most Men's Toiletries!I opted to NOT return the eBag - and I am using it for all my travel Plugs, Converters, Apple Cords etc - and the bag does provide ample storage for these type of items! Serious Cosmetic gals - beware - TOOSMALL!

I could not really fit that much in here. It looked like a good idea but was really just big and bulky without much usable storage space.. It was not for me.

Returned. Too flat to hold much, lots of bag and organization, but doesn't hold all that I want to bring.

This product looks better online than it is in actual use. I found the wide design of the Packet Flat OK but the zip pocket seem awkward for my use. I guess I would prefer a longer bag with less pockets. Quility seems fine just not what I find convienient.

Lays "sorta" flat - but there's a lot of material for the little it holds. Quality/well-made but the design is poor if you like to hang your toiletrie bag to give yourself EASY access to ALL your stuff. You have to keep the three side pockets zipped up (closed) when you hang the bag, otherwise everything falls out. The middle compartment size is just "ok" - meaning not much room. Having to fuss with the bag to open the side zippers is a pain (and you need both hands to unzip). I'd give it zero stars for design...am giving two stars because quality of materials is good.

Wanted to love this but there was too much bulky material compared to useable space that I couldn't make it work. Other's probably love that it packs flat but for my needs I wanted something with a little depth to fit more stuff in a smaller cube shaped bag instead of a bigger flat bag. Nice bag, good materials it seems, though

This travel bag is very well made. Unfortunately I just really dislike the style. The idea of a flat bag seems great but I hated it. The middle section doesn't hold much without things falling out. I left it behind on a long trip and used a traditional bag shape.

This bag just isn't big enough. It's too thin.

Even though this item it is indeed flat it is too large for a carry-on luggage. Not really practical.

Not practical too small

I bought this bag to be able to organize my small travel items. It arrived with one of the two plastic zipper pulls missing. The material is a cheap crumpled up plastic. The 4 storage spaces are extremely small. The product will go into my garbage bag instead of into my travel bag.

Very small compartments, wanted something that would "lay flat" but it just wasn't big enough. Bought 2, one for sundry items and the other for make-up - didn't work for me at all. Returned both.
