ProsDurable, Great Value, Performing as Expected, not pink
I hate pastels, and it's not a good time to be a pastel-averse woman. Even LLBean offers few clothing choices to women who like earth tones (hint). Nowadays, color choices for women seem to be limited to stark white, insipid pastels, or black. I have to resort to wearing men's clothing, or wear black and pretend I chose to look emo. It was with a great deal of trepidation that I embarked on a search to find a bag that would hold all of my stuff, including makeup, several types of products for my fussy curly hair, a first aid kit, and a little bottle of dog shampoo for Miss Stinky. And here it was in a vivid red fabric that had no trace of anemic pink grossness. I've had it for a year and it has loyally carried all the items I need to successfully transform from a drooling idiot into a somewhat sentient being.
I really like these bags for function, but I really wish they had more femine colors to chose from. Each member of our family has their own bag and color. We keep these packed and ready to go with extra bath supplies 24/7, so when one of us has a trip, we can just grab "our" bag out of the bigger suitcase and go. When we travel together, I just grab the bigger bag with everyone's organizer in it and I never have to worry about forgetting someone's hairbrush or toothbrush.
Unfortunately, the color options are paltry for our girl dominated family. On top of that the prints that I have seen will look dated really quickly.
My husband travels with all of 5 items, so I imagine more women than men purchase these. Add some more femine colors please!
ProsDurable, Great Value, Performing as Expected, functional
I bought both a medium personal organizer for myself and a small personal organizer for my boyfriend. They fit all of our items with a little extra room to spare. They are quite durable and very functional. I love that I can hang them on a hook in a hotel or the back of a bathroom door at a campground. My only complaint is that I wish there was a size between small and medium. I'd definitely recommend these to anyone looking for a bathroom bag.
Carry-on packing for flying requires small suitcases. I now have travel-size bottles, travel-size toothbrush, travel-size comb, travel-size deodorant, etc. Now, I need a travel-size carry-on LLBean. So, please make your SMALL - only, SMALLER!
And, as a side note, please don't include the plastic mesh. The regular mesh is great, but the plastic mesh is gross.
