If James Bond needed a toiletry bag this is the one he'd pack along on his worldwide excursions.

Flying can be a stressful experience for some, so why not ease the hassle with these clear, TSA-friendly toiletry bags? These are available in sets of two, three or four 7.5- by 5.5-inch pouches that comply with TSA’s 3-1-1 liquid rule (i.e., creams, gels and liquids or pastes can’t exceed 3.4 ounces and must all fit in a single one-quart bag for a carry-on bag). Designate one pouch for any of your essentials that fall under that description and use the other two for powder cosmetics, your toothbrush and any other solid items.

These pouches boast durable zippers and seams and are made from waterproof plastic. This means that even if the worst occurs—a bottle accidentally bursting open during takeoff, for instance—the liquid will stay put in the bag without smearing around your suitcase.

While some buyers found that it’s “smaller than expected”, others note that it’s handy, with one shopper describing it as “a good go-to for toiletries and shower essentials.” Grab this in black, gray or pink.
