The bathrooms on cruise ships are often small, so reaching for toiletries can make things difficult. After seeing many cruise programs over the years and receiving advice from Tiktok, I decided to invest in a hanging wash bag.
Hanging washing bags maximize bathroom space, organize toiletries and make them easy to access. Also, there are often multiple compartments that help separate and organize different types of toiletries, making them easier to find. I've returned from rave reviews about toiletry bags hanging from the cruise.
For many years, cruise queen Jane McDonald has raved about her hanging toiletry bag.
This is ideal for a cruise ship if you have a small bathroom. This is because storage space for unpacking toiletries is often limited.
She also advises on packing full-size toiletries, suggesting that these can be purchased on board or on the cruise.
However, if you're cruising for quite some time, it may be better to consume two hanging bags to pack the full size.
I was grateful to have bought this toiletry bag before the cruise.
There were plenty of places to hang toiletry bags, but I easily went behind the toilet door. If you are taking multiple doses, you can also hang them in your wardrobe.
With the three compartments, it was easy to separate items, so I was shocked at how much the bag was actually attached, as I wasn't scrambling for a particular item.
One compartment had shower products. Another compartment had facial products, with a small section at the top perfect for cotton pads and tweezers.
The hanging bag contained far more toiletries than the other bags I normally travel to. Plus, when folded, they felt wonderfully safe.
I think I'll use this toiletry bag not only when I'm off, but every time I leave.
I picked up mine for just £10 from Amazon, but many stores, including boots, sell them.
