I’ll Never Use a Backpack Again After Finding This Tote Bag Hack (It’s Perfect for School!)
The beginning of the school year is filled with so many decisions, from choosing which classes to take to moving in and figuring out how to decorate your space. But after getting into a routine the first few weeks, you might discover you didn’t fully think through things like what kind of bag will work best for your schedule. If you’re still looking for the best way to cart all your things to class, or your internship, or job, you might be able to hack your way into making a bag you already own the perfect tote.
As a student on campus, I was always a backpack fan, but I noticed many of my friends and classmates carried tote bags to class. I gave it a try, but never figured out how to properly organize it and ended up using a backpack with built-in compartments.
When I saw a TIkTok video from @laurenresquir about how to tame the chaotic mess inside your tote bag, I was immediately intrigued. Is a tote bag organizer the answer to the biggest problem I always came across when trying to haul all my things? Depending on what you need to use it for, these interior storage solutions might be just what you need to make your favorite tote bag even more useful. Check out what this bag insert is all about as well as some alternative organizers.
How to Use a Tote Bag Insert
A tote bag insert is a thin, lightweight container with pouches and compartments that goes inside your bag. It almost looks like a purse inside of a purse. Adding this solution to your bag is so easy: You simply slide the organizer into your unzipped tote and fill the pockets with all of your bag essentials. No more rummaging through a messy bag to find something! Before you order an organizer, make sure to measure the interior length, width, and height of your bag and compare it to the organizer’s size chart to find the right one for you.
This type of organizer works best with a wider purse-style tote, as opposed to a more narrow canvas bag. However, the different sizes are compatible with a variety of bag styles, and the large size would work in something like an L.L. Bean Boat and Tote. Be sure to check the dimensions of the organizer to decide which size is right for your bag.
