Review on TSA Approved Clear Toiletry Bag Organizer Pouch for Men and Women - Perfect Travel Toothbrush Case & Shaving Kit Bag by Jennifer Miller

Revainrating 2 out of 5

His. Spring. rough enough. And hard enough.

I was looking for a toiletry bag that would fit an electric toothbrush, charger and standard size toothpaste. I travel a lot. To Europe, Africa and Asia. Advertised as "TSA approved," the usual suspects could barely hold a razor and shaving cream. So far I've settled with using a zippered freezer bag, which lasts about a trip or two. (The electric toothbrush is a weird shape. It doesn't fit in a standard toothbrush case as far as I know. Or any other stuff that's going around in my toiletry bag. And the toothbrush is often wet. Need I say more.) Yes, there are huge ones clear plastic bags. But they are usually so huge that the toothbrush lies around in them. And they consume valuable real estate in a suitcase. The toothbrush and charger fit nicely in this Rough Enough. In contrast to the cheaper transparent bags, it is well made. With strong YKK zippers, double stitching and thick fabric piping (as opposed to non-deformable plastic piping). Clear plastic is heavier than the usual suspects. Important if you don't want your toothbrush running around in your suitcase. Even heavier plastic (PVC?) does not decompose. That way nobody spends critical time cramming everything into one thing when there's a flight to catch. Yes, it's more expensive than most. But my time, peace of mind, and some frustration make up for the few dollars difference. Nice. If that's not important to you, be sure to use crumpled ziplock bags. And take your frustration out on the hotel receptionist. Warning: 120V chargers in the US don't work on 220V in most other countries in the world. Those cheap "converters"? Catastrophe. You will fry the charger. As I found out. Then the electric toothbrush becomes a manual one. The best solution? Buy a USB charger for your toothbrushes. Everything is about $5. On-line. Charges with any USB adapter. while you sleep
