For someone who travels for work he lives out of a bathroom bag. I bought this for a Christmas gift. Black with his initials in bright blue. Bery cute. Unfortunately I did not recieve in time for the holidays. Took exactly a month. I bought the medium and it is a tight sqeeze for regular items, this includes travel shampoo. If he needed 1 thing more it would not fit. For an entire week I suggest the large so it is not "stuffed" The removable pocket was tossed.

This is a good, sturdy bag but definitely smaller than I expected. Good for overnight but not much longer.

I have had my Toiletry Bag a number of years. It holds all the necessities. However, the top plastic pouch broke down and I put plastic packaging tape over it but that eventually did not last either. That is the one pocket I open and close the least, so excessive wear was not the cause. The plastic just broke down. Will you replace this bag?

The medium should be ok for a single person ... but no... found that I need something bigger. The compartments were thoughtfully arranged... yet some items... were too long and did not fit in well.
The bag it self is so well constructed... the fabric, zippers, all are top. It is just the size. Then when it was packed... it was a big lump in the suitcase!
It got returned and I am thinking of the large size...

Just ok. Pockets for Meds too deep. Outside fine. Inside could use re-design to better suit travel needs

After years of great service, this bag finally let me down. The hook that holds the bag when it's unzipped broke. It looks like composite metal is the culprit, as usual. Use quality materials and things like this won't happen.

This toiletry bag was purchased because I'm constantly traveling and my personal care items were too bulky for my luggage. If you're toting along full size bottles, you're better off using a gallon Ziploc because this bag can't handle them. The pull-out section is only a couple of inches tall, the bottles are not supported and they fall out. This just isn't something that I can use on the road full-time.

I'd hoped to be purchasing a smaller tote than what I already have, but this is even larger. I had even attempted to measure my current tote, and could have sworn I'd ordered something smaller. Oh, well. It was on sale, so I'll keep it for a holiday gift exchange. I like the color/design (light grey heather).

Bought this item for my daughter in law for Christmas, to replace her old one. Was much smaller than we thought it would be. Sending it back and getting the family size. Would rather err on the bigger end. Made very well though!

I found the construction to be very good on this travel bag but it just didn't meet the needs I had for it. While I was able to get most all of my travel toiletries into this bag, I found the hook to hang the bag didn't fit on most of the areas I wanted to hang it. It wouldn't fit over the shower rod, it wouldn't hang on a closet rod or over a door frame.....I just found this to be too limiting as to where I could hang it...the hook is just too small and this bag when full does not stand well on its own on a counter so while I love Bean products, this one didn't make the grade for me..returned.

We searched for a bag to supplement my old bean yellow bag. I wanted one bigger cause I carry more stuff. Though advertized as 12" wide it was no bigger than my old one. The side "doors are useless to me and take up needed interior space. It is definitely a hang only bag. Falls over on counter as there is no hard bottom. I don't like the way the top handle is folded in half and sewed. Uncomfortable to grab and carry. Just "that much" too small.

This is large enough for more than you'll ever need to travel with.
It is marketed as a shower bag. The shower hook is inside the bag. Having the hook inside means you can't zip or unzip the bag while it is hanging. This is really a very poor oversight especially give the size of the bag. Due to the size and how much you put in it, the bag can be awkward to zip back up while trying to hold it in one hand.

Color shown is not what actual bag was. Actual was closer to hunter green, not teal

I'm on my second and unfortunately last of these bags. The layout and capacity are great, but inevitably the interior waterproof lining breaks down and flakes everywhere! With my first bag I thought it was due to wear and tear - I traveled frequently for a number of years. But the replacement bag was purchased during COVID and not even used for years at a time, and within 3 years it was also flaking. Wish they'd use a more durable option!

My family has loved these toiletry bags for decades and I upgraded my small for a medium but the top plastic compartment busted under the zipper. It would be better if the top compartment was net or reinforced somehow since it takes the brunt of the hanging weight

I was charged $39.95 for this bag, but upon receipt, the bag has a tag attached for $34.95. I was charged $5.00 more than tagged price!

I have owned two or three of these toiletry bags abnd have bought as gifts several. THey look nice and the canvas part is sturdy. Unfortunately the top plastic pocket always disintegrates. It is such a shame because the rest of the bag is in great shape. It seems environmentally irresponsible that part of it is made so well but a broken open pocket of cheap plastic ruins the product (and maybe pushes you to buy another?). From the outside the bag looks brand new but open it and it looks awful.

Had for about 4 years, it is falling apart, the plastic coatings are peeling, looks terrible. The clear pouch has ripped off. throwing away today. Will move into something that lasts a lifetime like leather or heavy duty canvas. I haven't tried getting a new one from LL bean I will try that first. See if they uphold their quality. Otherwise this should come with a disclaimer only to be used for 5 years tops.

I received a medium as a Christmas gift in 2022 and have used it off and on for the last 18 months. It has the space I need to pack for trips and has been useful in my camping and regular travel. However, the mesh attached to the hook is already tearing and I can no longer use the hook, which is the whole purpose... I would have expected L.L. Bean products to hold up against general, non-heavy/excessive, use. I am preparing for a trip abroad and have been excited to use the bag, but I am now less than thrilled.

I purchased two of these bags thinking they would be like the one I had previously ordered a few years ago.
Only upon receiving I realized it doesn't stand freely & doesn't seem to have as much room for toiletry items.
So somewhat disappointed as one of the two I ordered was a gift.
I definitely would NOT ORDER THIS BAG AGAIN.

I was very disappointed in this toiletry bag. The bag is a great material and well made, but the dimensions are way off! The back panel of the bag is smaller than the front making it have less useable space. This also keeps the bag from sitting upright on its own. Even though I lost $7 in return shipping, I returned this bag.

I purchased the family bag and I cant get the zipper to work without it getting caught in the front inside pocket net. The bag is not stable with no hard bottom or sides and it falls off the counters. It has only one handle making it very difficult to carry, falling front heavy.

The plastic lining inside the bag cracks after only a few vacations. They used to have a lifetime guarantee which they do not anymore. They would not replace my bag even though it was hardly used. I'm sorry I did not keep the photos to show others.
