How to Choose Mens Overnight Toiletry Bag ?

Whether you’re travelling across continents, staying overnight, pulling a weekender, or going to the gym, a mens overnight toiletry bag is a gent’s must have travel companion.

Why do people like to use toiletry bags?

The simple explanation can be summed up in one word: convenience.

What is a (mens) toiletry bag used for?

Of course, the toiletry bag can be used for its intended use: to store all of your grooming supplies, shaving supplies (for  gentlemen), make-up (for women... or hey, for men too), toothpaste, deodorant, lotion, shampoo and any other supplies you might need to have within arm's reach while preparing for the day.

A mens overnight toiletry bag is to keep your essential products organized and in place, saving you the chore of uprooting everything just to find your toothbrush. Keep reading and there are a few factors about how to choose mens overnight toiletry bag. 

Safety

If your suitcase is going to get stolen, there’s not much you can do to prevent this and I don’t recommend those heavy metal systems that people buy but then never use. This is why travel insurance is good and you should carry your most valuable possessions in your handbag (toiletry bag), not your backpack.

However, the reality is that the majority of thefts are due to convenience, so in this case, a toiletry bag that has zippers will help ward off any wandering hands most of the time, making a bag with safety features such as this a top contender for the best mens overnight toiletry bags.

Price

It goes without saying, we need a durable and practical bag but also with a good price. No one wants to spend hundreds of dollars on overnight toiletry bags.

What you have to remember is that this is not your average handbag like the type you used in school. This is the thing that will act as a “home” to all your belongings for the duration of your trip. You need that home to be built to last.

Your bag will see so much abuse from you along with transportation baggage handlers, and will also be placed on the roughest and dirtiest of surfaces. You can’t have a cheap bag that rips and falls apart. You get what you pay for and, in this case, you need a bag that can handle the trip.

This doesn’t mean that you should buy the most expensive bag on the market. You just need to know why your bag is important. So much so that you will probably even become very attached to it.

What items are recommended to put in the mens overnight toiletry bags?

The Necessities:

  1. Disposable face masks
  2. Soap and facial tissue
  3. Hair spray
  4. Toothbrush, toothpaste, mouth wash, dental floss
  5. Razors and shaving products
  6. Nail clippers and nail files
  7. Brush and comb
  8. Multiple sets of towels (hand towels, face clothes)
  9. Band aid
  10. Bug spray (only if traveling in jungles, forests, or anywhere bugs might be or malaria may be present)

 How to save money:

Follow the below shopping tips to help you find the best prices for your dream bag:

  1. Shop around and compare features and prices on websites such as REI, Sierra Trading Post, eBags, and Amazon.

  2. Look for close-out options like REI Outlet where I bought my first backpack.

  3. If you can, go into the store and take a look at your options so you can determine what style, size, and brand suits you best.

  4. If you can’t go into a store to take a look at your options, order your top two or three choices from a company such as eBags that offers free returns. I ordered my new Meridian in red and black to see what color suited me better. I returned the red and had my money back in my account within a couple of weeks.

  5. Sign up for email updates from online retailers that offer you a discount for signing up.

  6. Shop on holiday weekends such as Easter, Memorial Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas to get the best bargains.

Final Tips

Once you’ve chosen your ideal bag, fill it up! Pack it up with the things you want to take. This will help you determine three things:

  1. If you’re packing too much stuff

  2. If you can handle the weight

  3. If you need a different bag

Once you’ve determined the above items and have reconsidered all your packing choices, it’s time to take the bag for a overnight. Check more mens overnight toiletry bag here: mybosidu!
