Men's travel wash bags

The men's travel wash bag, from £14.90 to £151.90

On the road, a men's wash bag isn't judged as it would be at home. It has to fit in luggage that is already full, keep bottles away from clothes and remain usable in a hotel bathroom with no shelf. The models in this selection are in Oxford, nylon, linen, PU leather or technical fabric, and most of them hang up.

Hang your things in the hotel or at the campsite

In a small bathroom, being able to hang up your wash bag changes everything: it hangs from the door or the towel rail, and everything you need stays open before your eyes. The waterproof hanging Oxford wash bag, at £70.90 in grey or black, is the most robust of this type. At £14.90, three hanging models in Oxford or canvas do the same job on a lighter budget. The PU leather version (£34.90) keeps this system with a smarter look, in coffee, brown or black.

Compact or foldable for cabin luggage

When space matters, a soft wash bag adapts to your luggage. The compact foldable nylon wash bag, at £70.90, stores flat in the pocket of a suitcase or backpack. The foldable wash bag with wet/dry separation (£29.90) unfolds on arrival: it is the foldable, waterproof men's wash bag to take for a cabin-luggage weekend.

Liquids: see and separate

The transparent double-compartment model (£24.90 in Medium and Large alike) shows its bottles at a glance. So that a leaking bottle doesn't soak everything else, two wash bags have a wet/dry separation according to their listing: the foldable one at £29.90 and the hanging multi-compartment wash bag at £44.90, the most practical for organising long trips.

For a week or more

To go away for a week, you need room for the razor, the foam, the deodorant and skincare. The black men's model at £33.90 is designed for shaving products. Another wash bag comes in size M or L (£31.90). The tactical wash bag (from £32.90 to £151.90) adds a MOLLE system to attach it to luggage, and the multifunction canvas one (£29.90) comes in five colours.

Which men's travel wash bag should you choose?

The right choice depends on your needs and the length of your stay:

• For a cabin-luggage weekend: a compact or foldable wash bag, at £29.90 or £70.90.
• For the hotel or camping: a hanging model, from £14.90.
• For bottles: the transparent model, or a wet/dry separation.
• For a week: the multi-compartment one at £44.90.
• As a gift: the PU leather, in coffee or brown.

Frequently asked questions about men's travel wash bags

What should you put in a men's wash bag?

Toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, shower gel, razor and foam or gel, aftershave, comb and nail clippers. When travelling, add everyday medication and travel-size bottles for liquids.

How do you prepare your wash bag for flying?

Separate the liquids from the rest, put them together in a pouch that you will take out at security, and keep the wash bag at the top of your cabin bag. The rules on liquids vary by airport and airline: check them before each departure.

Do you have to have a transparent wash bag on a plane?

It is the liquids in the cabin that must be presented in a transparent pouch according to security rules, not the whole wash bag. A transparent wash bag simply saves you from decanting them.

Is toothpaste allowed in the cabin?

Toothpaste counts as a liquid or gel: it follows the same rules as bottles. The simplest thing is to pack it with them.
