Toiletry bag

A toiletry bag (also called a toiletry kit, dopp kit, bathroom bag, ditty bag, sponge bag, toilet bag, personal hygiene kit, amenity kit, travel kit, or washkit) is a portable container—usually a pouch with a drawstring or zippered closure—that holds body hygiene and toiletry supplies such as toothbrush and toothpaste, dental floss, cotton swabs, deodorant, nail clippers, tweezers, soap, shaving supplies, hairbrush, contact lenses and feminine products.

Toiletry bags are most often used for traveling and in living circumstances where permanent shelves and cupboards are unavailable for use.

Designs range from simple plastic pouches to high-quality leather kits to roll-up bags that fold out for easy access.

The word was coined by leatherworker Charles Doppelt, who patented the idea of "Dopps" in 1919 and marketed them locally before landing a contract with the US Army during WWII.

[1] Dopp kits were once a common gift given to young men as they ascended from boyhood to adulthood.
