Washbag
Every trip needs a good travel toiletry bag, one that keeps your shampoo away from your socks and your bathroom bits easy to find at 6am in a hotel room. This range of washbags has something for every kind of packer, from lightweight polyester styles with smart organisation to a fully washable silicone option that's genuinely different from anything else on the market. Whether you're after a neutral-toned men's wash bag or something with a bit more colour, there's a style here that fits how you travel.
Toiletries: Sorted. Trip: Ready.
A good washbag is one of those travel essentials that you don't think about until it's missing, and then you really notice. The right travel toiletry bag keeps your bathroom bits separate, your liquids where they belong, and your morning routine intact no matter where in the world you wake up. This range covers four distinct styles, each with its own personality, so you can pick the one that actually matches the way you pack.
Wanderlite Washbag: The Organised All-Rounder
The Wanderlite Washbag is the most feature-packed option in the range. It has a front exterior pocket for quick-access items, elastic loops inside to hold your toiletry bottles upright, and both an open pocket and a mesh pocket in the interior for keeping things separated. The standout detail is the expandability, when you need more space, the Wanderlite opens up from 15cm to 18cm depth without fuss. It also features an elastic smart sleeve so it slides straight onto your suitcase handle, plus reflective details for visibility.
Cloudrider Washbag: Compact With a Complete Interior
Don't let the compact size of the Cloudrider Washbag fool you, the interior is thoroughly thought through. It features two zipped compartments, an open elastic pocket, a dedicated wet pocket for damp items like a face cloth or swimwear, elastic loops to keep bottles in place, and a mesh pocket for smaller bits. On the outside, there's a zipped front pocket for anything you need in a hurry, and you can grab it by either the top handle or the side loop. A solid option for anyone who wants a washbag that's practical without being loud.
Urban Groove Washbag: The One You Can Actually Wash
The Urban Groove Washbag is the most genuinely different option here. It's made entirely from silicone, which means it's fully washable, easy to wipe clean, and doesn't hang onto product residue the way fabric bags can. Inside there's a removable divider with a zipped pocket at the front and an open elastic pocket at the back, so you can configure it however works best. A side webbing loop makes it easy to grab and go. It comes in the widest colour range of any bag in this collection. t's the one that works equally well as a ladies wash bag or something bold and bright that stands out in the bathroom.
Puffypop Pouch: The Compact Everyday Option
The Puffypop Pouch is a slightly different take on the travel toiletry bag format. At 20 x 20 x 9 cm and just 0.2kg, it's the smallest and lightest option in the range, designed for light packers, short trips, or anyone who just needs a home for the essentials. It comes with an interior pocket and a dedicated AirPods pocket alongside a silicone handle for a comfortable grip, and a removable shoulder strap with an anti-slip patch so you can carry it independently. It's not a full washbag replacement, but for a city break or an overnight trip where you're travelling lean, it hits the spot.

FAQ
What is the difference between a washbag and a beauty case?
A washbag and a beauty case serve similar purposes but are designed with different priorities. A washbag is typically a softside bag focused on storing everyday bathroom essentials, think shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, deodorant, and a razor. It's built to be practical, lightweight, and easy to grab off a bathroom shelf or hook. A beauty case, on the other hand, tends to be a more structured, hardside option designed specifically for makeup, skincare, and beauty tools that need a bit more protection. Beauty cases usually have more organised interior layouts, with dedicated compartments, brush loops, and dividers to keep delicate products safe and separated. If you're primarily packing toiletries, a washbag is the right choice. If you're packing a full makeup and skincare routine with products you'd rather not have rattling around, a beauty case is worth the upgrade. Many travellers bring both.
How do I keep my washbag clean between trips?
The best approach depends on which washbag you have. The Urban Groove Washbag is the easiest to maintain, because it's made from silicone, you can rinse it out, wipe it down, or give it a proper wash without any worry. For the polyester options like the Wanderlite and Cloudrider, a damp cloth is usually enough for surface spills, and the wet pockets in those bags are specifically designed to contain anything that leaks. Generally, it's good practice to empty your washbag completely after every trip, leave it open to air out, and do a quick wipe-down of the interior before repacking. This keeps product build-up from becoming a problem and means your bag is always fresh and ready to go.
Is a washbag considered a personal item or hand luggage on a plane?
Most washbags are small enough to fit inside your main cabin bag or checked suitcase rather than counting as a separate item. However, the rules vary by airline, some allow a small personal item in addition to your main cabin bag, and a compact washbag like the Puffypop Pouch or Cloudrider could fit that role. The important thing to remember is that if your washbag contains liquids, gels, or aerosols and you're carrying it through security as part of your hand luggage, each individual container must be 100ml or less and all liquids must fit inside a single, transparent, resealable bag. Always check your specific airline's policy before you travel.
