We selected picks for a variety of travelers and those using it in their bathroom: a versatile bag for most travel situations, a dopp kit with loads of organizational compartments, an open-style dopp kit with plenty of space for larger toiletries, a compact hanging bag for light packers, and a hanging bag big enough for a family to share. We looked at a variety of zippered sacks, hanging bags, and structured, standing toiletry cases that open from above (what we’re calling “dopp kits”). Whether you are taking an overnight business trip or embarking on a 10-day excursion abroad, you need a way to transport your bathroom gear. After researching 69 and testing 23, we chose five bags that we liked for their style, packability, and quality of construction. To find the best solutions for carrying what is, essentially, a bathroom in a bag, we stuffed, shook, dunked, and examined toiletry bags meant for all sorts of travel scenarios.

I hope this article was helpful for those looking for more ecofriendly vacuum seal bags.ĭo you use a vacuum sealer at home? Have you ever tried plant-based vacuum seal bags? Let me know in the comments below.After nine years of testing, we know that no one toiletry bag works for all travelers.

I don’t currently own one, so I am going to refer to trusty YouTube to help guide your vacuum sealer purchase. I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t know a whole lot about vacuum sealers. If this bit of information piqued your curiosity into the wonderful world of vacuum sealers, I found a video to help guide your decision.

This is the only biodegradable sous vide vacuum bags I found.

Just double-check the recycling guidelines in your particular area (google it). They are recycled along with plastic bags.

Yes, in most municipalities, vacuum seal bags are recyclable. I am going to begin by answering questions about conventional vacuum seal bags and then discuss more environmentally friendly options. Honestly, there is not a ton of information or products about ecofriendly vacuum seal bags, but I did manage to find some and compile my findings here. My information on environmentally friendly vacuum seal bags is based solely on internet research, not real-life experience with the products. In fact, I don’t even own a vacuum sealer. Total transparency here, I am not a vacuum seal expert.
