Tested by: Meaghan Kenny, commerce editorHow long I’ve been using it: It's been my go-to for over a year.Why I love it: Calpak is among our editor's favorite brands for luggage and travel gear, including this clear cosmetic case. It's ideal for travelers who want to bring all of their skincare or makeup products, like me, because well, it fits a lot. The case unzips fully so each side can lay flat and products can be separated into its different compartments. This helps keep my products organized, and since the case is clear, it's easy to find everything quickly. There's also an extra mesh interior pocket for smaller essentials and a top handle that makes it easy to carry or store on a bathroom door hook. I also love how durable it is—I've dropped it several times and all of my products have been protected. I bring this case on most trips, from weeklong vacations to short business trips. Calpak's clear cosmetic cases are also available in a small and a large size. Senior commerce editor Madison Flager uses the large size when she's checking a bag for a long trip—we'll warn you, the large is large!).

This is my go-to toiletry bag when I’m traveling anywhere for under five days.Why I love it: Dagne Dover is also among our top brands for travel accessories, including this super-soft toiletry bag. I love the fabric, it’s super easy to clean, and I often just throw it in with the rest of my laundry. Its neoprene material is very flexible, so it’s easy to squeeze into an overly-stuffed bag.

How long I’ve been using it: I’ve used this for the last three months. I took it with me on a two-week trip to Michigan to visit family and friends over the summer.

Why I love it: Nothing beats being able to hang up your toiletry bag. It makes it so much easier to find what I need, especially when I'm getting ready to do my makeup. There are elastic loops that are perfect for makeup brushes or a razor, a ton of interior mesh pockets, and a removable case. This hanging Dopp kit recently launched in Calpak's Fit collection—made for busy, active travelers on the go.

Tested by: Madison Flager, senior commerce editor How long I’ve been using it: Since 2019; I use this one when I'm traveling with just a carry-on.Why I love it: This Peak Design wash pouch is water-resistant, making it easy to clean up any spills, and I like that there is a specific compartment for my toothbrush and another for my razor. Inside, there are a ton of small pouches to keep items organized. It’s my go-to for a long weekend trip.

Tested by: Meaghan Kenny, commerce editorHow long I’ve been using it: I've been using this for over a year.Why I love it: This floral toiletry bag is so functional and versatile: It works just as well to organize makeup products and toiletry essentials as it does tech accessories. I'm always impressed with how much I can fit inside this seemingly small bag. I'm able to keep my travel-size face wash and moisturizer laying flat inside, along with other must-haves like sunscreen and deodorant. I use the two elastic slip pockets to keep Q-tips and my contact lenses separate from everything else. I also utilize the thin slip pockets on the top of the bag for my go-to lip balm and lip liner. The bag is compact enough that it doesn't take up much room in my weekender bag, but still tall enough that some products can stand up straight inside, like my contact solution and small Vaseline tub. Bonus: It’s made of water-resistant fabric and features a top handle to easily carry it around.

Tested by: Talia Abbas, senior commerce editor at VogueHow long I’ve been using it: Two years and a half years.Why I love it: There’s something about Ceremonia's colorful "market" pouch that puts me in instant vacation mode. It’s more of a makeup bag than a traditional Dopp kit, with a single main zippered compartment and no internal pockets, but that’s why I love it. Well, that and the fact that it’s also very cute and handmade from upcycled materials. It has a spill-proof lining—ideal for throwing greasy sunscreen bottles and my smudgy Marvis toothpaste in—and can fit about a weekend’s worth of product, which is really all I need and tend to use anyway (even on longer trips). Did I mention it’s also a great beach bag companion?
