Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Personal Organizer Medium

We ordered the kit to replace an aging kit we have traveled with for years. The new one has a stylish look, and since it comes in several sizes, we were able to get one that turned out to be perfect for us. It is lighter than the old one, which is nice, but I would prefer the fabric to be a little heavier.

Transferring my personal care items from my old case to this organizer was a challenge. Most of the slots are for medium to full-sized bottles; I use travel sized and sort by Shower, Makeup, Face, etc. in plastic bags. Once I realized the organizer bottom was quite wide I was able to fit most everything in. I haven't traveled with this bag yet, so the fabric may loosen with use. The bag is well made, seems water resistant and I like the blue color and design. The hooks seem strong and easy to use in any direction.

We bought two original small bags (all nylon and mesh) when they first came out maybe 25-30 years ago, and are still using them. I bought a medium bag about 20 years ago, but had to replace it this year. The plastic compartment in the top part of the bag deteriorated with age and got cloudy, finally got brittle and broke up. Guess nothing lasts forever, but 20 years is probably long enough! The bag has lots of room, compartments, removables, even a mirror. It hangs almost anywhere, very convenient, I'm old enough that I won't need to buy another one in 20 years!

It's very functional. It's just not obvious how you organize it if you have several pill bottles or if you have some liquids like shampoo. It seems like you have to stack the pills and then you have to pull 'em all out to get access. That's just my reaction after ONE trip.

Love the bag, but the color selection at the store was lacking! At least I can't miss it, with this safety yellow!

Good quality toiletry bag, but seems a bit smaller than the last one I bought.

I took this bag on an extended trip and it worked very well for me. I didn't have to rummage for my tolietries very day the way I had been with my old system.

Sooooo...post-Covid, I was planning a trip and pulled out my trusty Bean toiletry bag, a monogrammed beauty I bought many years ago (can't even remember when). Imagine my dismay to discover the plastic linings disintegrating and the zippers stuck and unusable. Oh well, this is a Bean product from back when Bean had a 100% guarantee with no time limit, so they'll replace it, right? Well, the problem was that my trip was imminent, and I couldn't wait to send the old one back and get a new one before I had to leave. So I just ordered a new one. Didn't have time for a monogram (sigh). But of course this is a wonderful product, like almost all Bean products.

This is the third bag like this I've owned and very pleased with all of them...

The medium that I purchased is the new small. A medium will probably be okay for one person by themselves, but for a woman with all her extras a large is needed. I couldn't even begin to get just my stuff in even for just a two day trip. I ordered a large for for the two of us when we go together. Hopefully it will fill our needs.

It was smaller than I expected. My old organizer was a good 4" linger. Fabric is good quality.

I ordered the medium size of this travel bag, and it's smaller than expected. Makes you wonder how small is small? I suggest double-checking the dimensions if listed in the item description and measuring out before making the purchase. It will save you the cost for shipping back a return,

This is a useful product. It carries all my medications on a recent trip. My only suggestion is go for the large

Everything in one bag and not in suitcase. Great carry bag!

I love the bag, actually bought for my whole family (different sizes) but this one I had monogramed for my daughter-in-law. Did not realize the monogram was the size of a quarter; a little disappointing. I wouldn't pay for the monogram again.

My husband & I love the personal organizer. We each have one & have used them every time we travel. We just ordered each other new ones for Christmas because the old ones were getting worn. Truly, the only badly worn area on mine was the upper plastic compartment. The plastic gave way & no amount of tape or adhesive would hold it. Otherwise, the zippers & outer material are still fine. Very well worth the price!

Love the plum personal organizer! I bought it to replace an yellow one exactly like it that I have had for ten years. My yellow one had a mesh shoulder strap that attached to the little tabs on both side of the bag. My new one came without the strap!! So much easier to carry with the hands free shoulder strap. Other than that I am happy with the product. Thank you, Mary Carr

I bought it for my daughter to use. She has used it twice so far and seems to like it. She doesn't pack a whole lot in it for now since she is only 11, but it is has enough room for her.

Overall like it but thought it would be more waterproof than it is.

I got this for my son who works in the oil and gas industry in Texas. He needs something durable and easy to pack on the run. This fit him perfect, the quality and color (red) where spot on.

was a xmas gift for husband and he loved it. Used it immediately because we had to go visit relatives after Christmas and he could put all his meds and shaver in it. It has a lot of compartments for odd things.

Just like his old one. It does the trick and he likes it.

Purchased this toiletry case to replace one that was used for over 10 years. My husband travels on business and used the case extensively and it performed well. The clear vinyl window on the interior finally gave away. He liked the case so much I replaced it in different color.

This toiletry bag is perfect for my FIL for traveling. I didn't give it 5 stars though because I ordered a personalized bag and was sent a bag without any personalization. The bag holds everything he needs for traveling and the hanging hook makes it nice and organized rather then laying everything on the counter.

This product is very well made! However, it is a bit smaller than it appeared in catelogue.
