This item is a staple when I travel. I use the large size and it is more than ample, even when I am traveling for a week or longer. This makes a great gift and is so reasonably priced.
I purchased a medium organizer to hold my medical supplies in: My shift tools and reference materials, plus a few personals, fit perfectly into the medium organizer. I now have a bag that doesn't pull at my shoulder with a cross-body strap and is compact enough to hang outside Pt. rooms, rather than dump on the floor or squeeze into the common counter space. I also ordered an additional medium organizer for a coworker, who is quite pleased to have the organizer replace one she'd lost. This bag is a goody that every nurse could well use. Thanks again, LL Bean. smn
After receiving several LLB gifts, I became a Bean fan too! All my family seems to love LLB. I plan to review several of my favorites. I received the smallest size personal organizer toiletry bag and had also seen the medium. The medium size is big enough to hold travel size toiletries and such for two people for a trip, or absolutely everything for one, a great bag. I was surprised how small the smallest bag looked, but I've found it really holds a lot for its size and doesn't take up nearly as much space. All the compartments are smaller than on the medium size, of course, but the two mesh pockets in the main compartment could hold regular size, not jumbo, containers. There are two of these instead of three as in the medium size, and they will each hold two or more travel size products. The outside side compartments are big enough for a 2 oz. container plus a contact case or similar. The main compartment has a removable shower caddy in a slightly smaller size with mesh compartments. I don't use that or the detachable mirror, but they would be handy for camping. The main compartment will hold additional items, and the bag is tall enough for a hairbrush and regular toothbrush container. There are inside waterproof zip pockets at the top, and a big flat zip pocket on the outside of the front flap. It's amazing what you can pack into such a compact bag! I think I could squeeze in most of my makeup, too, but I prefer a separate makeup bag, and the whole makeup bag won't fit in this size. All my other travel size toiletries, allergy tabs, contacts, etc. fit fine, and it doesn't take up much space in a suitcase. Even when flying and using a quart ziplock, it's good to take this bag so your toiletries won't be all over the place while you're there. The hook lets you hang it anywhere. You will love this little bag! Mine is the carnation plaid with black monogram which looks great. Some other colors are on sale. Just the best bags and they come in four sizes.
I have the large size and have used it for several years. I absolutely love it. I also have bought several more for my neices for gifts. They also use theirs faithfully. You can't go wrong with the large size although it won't stand up on it's own. I really haven't found this to be a problem with the use of the hook.
