I used this toiletry bag for 5 years, 1 year of which was spent traveling around the world out of a backpack. I love how lightweight it is, and was pleasantly surprised with how much I can shove in there for a relatively small bag. I also really appreciate the two smaller zipped pockets on each side--they are a great way to separate things like a toothbrush and toothpaste, or smaller items (mascara, eyeliner, bobby pins, etc.) from everything else. Sadly, a tag in one of those zipper pockets started to fray on my old toiletry bag, and the zipper got caught and was irreparable so I had to toss it. But I loved it enough that I bought a new one in the exact same style! Will never go back to big, bulky toiletry bags.
