Packing food to take with you on the go is always a little risky—one poorly sealed container, and you've got a gigantic mess at the bottom of your lunch tote. But according to Amazon shoppers, these popular silicone bags are the secret to taking snacks, leftovers and even toiletries on the go without risking any spills (and they're under $15).
With thousands of reviews on Amazon, Stasher storage bags are loved by parents, teachers, and, well, everyone for storing snacks, leftovers, sandwiches, toiletries, and other on-the-go essentials. These premium silicone bags are designed to be a more sustainable option than single-use plastic bags, and they're also safe for the freezer, microwave and dishwasher. According to the manufacturer, they can even withstand boiling water. In other words, they're perfect for your lunch-packing, leftover-saving, and sous-vide-cooking needs. A single bag can be used over and over again (up to 3,000 times or over eight years of daily use), whether you need it to keep something hot, cold, or room temperature.
One Amazon reviewer even put their leakproof claim to the test. "The Stasher bag protects the content from leaking or encroaching spillage, which wipes away easily," wrote one reviewer. "I filled it 1/3 with water and placed it upside-down for 4 hours, and the bag did not leak. Needless to say, the seal is great and easy to operate, even for school-aged kids. It is flexible but keeps its form."
To remove any food remnants — whether sticky, smelly, or a mix of the two — simply pop them in the dishwasher and they'll be as good as new. But that's not all there is to love: parents especially rave about how the different size options make packing lunches way easier. Stashers come in 14 sizes and eight colors, with special pocket, sandwich, bowl and stand-up shapes to help you conveniently store different types of food.

The Good Housekeeping Institute is also a big fan. "In our Kitchen Appliances Lab’s test, the Stashers were more airtight than other reusable storage options like beeswax wrap,” says Betty Gold, senior editor and product analyst. "And we love that they are a greener alternative to using disposable bags."
It may seem like a big investment at first, but they definitely pay for themselves over time. Instead of picking up a box of plastic baggies — snack, sandwich-size, gallon-size, and freezer-safe options — every time you go to the grocery store, you'll already have a permanent collection of silicone bags stashed and ready to go.
