Stasher Bag wins praise in reviews for durable, leak-resistant silicone storage that replaces single‑use plastic, performs in freezer, microwave, dishwasher, and even sous vide, and comes in versatile, space‑saving sizes and colors. However, many reviewers flag persistent drawbacks: tough-to-clean seams, slow drying that can lead to odors or mildew, occasional staining or smell retention, tricky openings, and rare tears or imperfect seals with liquids—making bowls/stand-up styles preferred for ease of use.

  • I love my Stasher bags. They're so much cuter than your average Ziploc, and I didn't realize how useful they were until I actually owned them. They're easy to clean, and the colors make it fun.

    Feedback

    I'd love if they were a little bit more air-tight!

  • Stasher bags make it super easy to bring things on the go, and I love that they can go in the dishwasher! A much better alternative to zip loc bags. And if you like to cook they are great for sous vide!

    Feedback

    Sometimes I just cannot get them clean all the way and they feel dirty sooner than the price would warrant.

  • I love stashers! The number of colors and sizes, how well they lock and how easy they are to clean are the main reasons I love them so much.

    Feedback

    They're a bit pricey but I understand why. I try to wait for a sale and so many retailers carry them now that it's not too hard to find a sale.

  • I've tried to go cheap with reusable bags before and I hate to admit that nothing compares to Stasher Bag. They're pricey, but really the best. The closure seals tightly and efficiently, and I love the various sizes. Does well in the dishwasher - have had 0 problems and mine are from 3 years ago.

    Feedback

    I hope they can bring down the cost at some point, but I'm sure it pays off overtime if you're consistently buying plastic bags.

  • I really like these for the eco friendly value, and so that I can stop constantly running out of plastic bags. They are cute and compact, I wouldn’t use for larger things though.

    Feedback

    I wish they were easier to clean. I have a hard time cleaning them and getting them totally dry so they don’t mold.

  • Really great alternative to the single-use ziploc bags that we've all come to know. Easy to wash, and they come in nice fun colors.

    Feedback

    I bought the clear Stasher bags and they do stain a bit. I've stored carrots and after a week, the bag has a faint orange color.

  • It's hard to break old habits and moving away from plastic storage bags isn't easy. Stasher bags are a great substitute, and are sturdy, close air tight, and add some color to the fridge. I highly recommend buying a stand to dry these on as they dry faster when opened.

  • These are great replacements for zip-lock baggies and feel extremely well made. I've read about, but have never experienced issues getting them completely clean.

    Feedback

    Wish they came in more stand-up sizes.

  • Mainly use them for snacks so they're really good. Things like nuts are easy to pack and makes the product easy to wash. Wouldn't use for all types of food though.

  • These are perfect eco-friendly replacements for plastic bags and are still in great shape after many uses. I wish more people would make the switch from Ziploc bags to these!

  • The absolute GOAT when it comes to reusable bags to replace plastic use. I’ve gotten two as gifts at Christmas and it’s becoming a tradition I look forward to! While they can be a bit tricky to open, they are perfect for *stashing* items in the freezer!

  • I’ve tried this product and I love its sustainable and useful innovation. How much plastic bags end up in the dump each year? How many sandwiches do we eat? These little things add up and I love this brand for the work they’re doing.

  • I love these! I have tried other silicone bags and none seal as well as these do and I love that they come in so many shapes and colors. They are expensive so I recommend building your stash over time and buying when they are having sales directly from their website. As someone with a lot of friends who both love snacks and are trying use plastic less, I think these would make good gifts too.

  • Stasher bags used to be the ELITE option for reusable, eco-friendly food storage, but with the number of competitors out there today, I just dont think the product differentiates at the price point. The Good: High quality, dishwasher friendly and lots of shapes and sizes The Bad: Pricey, and often have issues staying closed. To the point of frustration where I dont feel like I can use them at full capacity, and wouldnt trust for anything liquid (or even storing cosmetics - have had a few mishaps trying to use these as my plane friendly cosmetics carrier)

  • loveee my Stasher sandwich bag. I only have 1, but have been able to refrain from buying plastic bags for over a year! Feels sustainable and washes great in the dishwasher.

  • I LOVE stasher bags! I use them every work day for my lunch! The closure is so much easier than the traditional zipper everyone seems to go with. It opens and closes easily and doesn't loose grip over time. I highly recommend.

  • Overall, I love my stashers! Would recommend the bowl shape over the flat ones. The flat ones are much harder to clean, especially if you like to use the dishwasher.

  • I like the concept of stasher bags but I wish the zip opening was wider. It’s hard to get a full sandwich in the bag without it breaking.
