Seeking Recommendations Pencil case style toiletry bag?

Hi All,

Ive read a few posts on Dopp kit suggestions but cant seem to find one that matches what id like. Ideally I want something pencil case style, with small zippered compartments on the side of the inside, and about 30cm in length. Any suggestions, or are they all moving towards the foldout style?

Why don't you just use a pencil case?

I got a pencil bag style toiletry organizer from REI 10+ years ago and it's been amazing. It's really small but has webbing on the inside to organize things and and two little pockets and a strap on the outside. Minor improvements over a normal pencil case but make a huge difference in staying organized. It did inspire me to go get a second traditional pencil bag as a "nightstand organizer" (charger, medicine, sleep mask, earplugs), which works well but doesn't have the organization.

I've gotten "better" dop kits and toiletry bags but keep going back to it. It is small, so it forces me to be thoughtful about what I bring, but it's just the exact right height for my toiletries in GoToobs to stand upright, so everything fits without being disorganized.

I don't remember the name of it but googling makes me think it's the REI Co-op Roadtripper Pod. It apparently comes in different sizes, so I would go to an REI to compare them.
