The type of toiletry bag that you have is going to depend on the type of travels that you do. I have a very mesh material and the reason why I use that is I can put in the sample sizes of items that I have very easily, very quickly and if I need to pull it out of my carry-on luggage to show TSA, I can do it pretty quickly. But it really depends, if you have a lot of heavier, larger items, if you have a lot of makeup, if you have a lot of hairbrushes and so forth then you might want a larger toiletry bag so that you can keep all of those items safe. A lot of times toiletries can be expensive so you want to make sure that you do keep them safe and that they don't leak as well. You want to have a bag that has a plastic lining because one of the things that you do want to avoid is if there is any leakage, you don't want it to get all over your clothes. When you have a hook on your toiletry bag it does make it more convenient for you because what you can do, you can hook it onto a door or onto any type of hook and that way the items in your toiletry bag are much more accessible. Usually they're layered so you can have your cotton swabs in one pocket, your liquids in another pocket and it's a real nice easy convenient way to carry your toiletries.
