What is a Dopp Kit?

Wondering what a dopp kit is?

A Dopp kit is a toiletry bag. Your toothbrush, shaving cream, moisturizer, etc, go into the dopp kit bag to help you stay organized, especially when you are traveling. You obviously don’t want to turn your suitcase upside down to look for something small and very important.

The term ‘dopp kit’ comes from Charles Doppelt, who fashioned it out of leather in 1919. However, now you can buy a dopp kit in various materials, from cloth to plastic.

Material

Many people like to splurge for a toiletry bag that matches their luggage. But most end up not using it since such toiletry bags or kits are usually heavy and people want to travel light.

A great dopp kit or toiletry bag can hold all your bathroom essentials yet keep them easy to find. Travel Badger offers transparent toiletry kits and bags which contain all your essentials, such as shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, toothbrush, body wash, deodorant, lip balm, wipes, mints and more! You can choose one based on your needs.

Size

The size of the kit or bag depends upon what you’re carrying. While some men like large dopp bags, many others are minimalist. Ask yourself one simple question while packing your kit: “Do I really need this?” Then find a toiletry bag or dopp kit that fits just those things.

Style

You can find a mind-boggling variety of dopp kits and toiletry bags online. There are leather bags, waxed canvas, cloth, or easy-to-clean plastic bags.

Regardless of what design and style you choose, buy something you can be proud to set on the bathroom counter.

You want to bring stuff you are comfortable with but you don’t want to be lugging too much stuff wherever you go. That means you may have to limit yourself to a smaller, lighter bag which may seem an impossible task. However, the following guide will help you travel light without sacrificing a great deal. Travel with One Bag To ensure you can travel with a single piece of luggage, you need the right one! Ginormous bags will always tempt you to fill them. Think of a backpack or a rucksack.
