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.

  • Given the popularity of the Stasher Bag and our family's desire to make sustainable swaps where possible, I wasn't terribly impressed with these. I was willing to overlook the bulkiness of the bags, but I couldn't get over the fact that they never felt clean after the first use. There was always a slight film to them afterwards, which made us not want to use the bags for food storage. We repurposed the bags to container small art supplies and other non-food items so we weren't wasteful, but we're still on the hunt for a better option for food storage.

  • I love the stasher! I use it for just about everything, even making popcorn! I have several now and don’t buy anymore ziplock bags.

  • Great to use anywhere

  • I LOVE stasher bags! They were one of the first brands to offer silicon baggies, and now with so many on the market… they remain the best quality!

  • These are great but not for food I do like to have a couple of round. They're cute they have fun colors. They clean up pretty well but not if you have anything that's super messy for food-wise

  • was pretty good. not as leak proof as a ziplock but sustainible

  • Absolutely love these reusable ziplock bags! They're a game-changer for reducing waste in my kitchen. The quality is top-notch, and they're so easy to clean. Highly recommend!

  • These last a long time, I love freezing and microwaving things in them knowing they’re safer than plastic and better for the environment too.

  • Great reusable bags! I use these for sandwiches, freezing marinated food, and brining snacks on the go. These wash in the dishwasher really well, and I've used mine for over 3 years, with no issues.

  • Great product! I wanted to use fewer plastic storage bags, but I lose things in my fridge if I can't see the contents in the container. These solve that problem. They come in a large variety of sizes and shapes. I love the little Stashers for toddler treats and to protect my phone and keys in my beach bag. I love the colors. The quality is amazing. Easy to use, wash up in the dishwasher. Love them.

  • These bags are really useful, make me feel better about not always using single use plastic, and are actually surprisingly easy to clean. But honestly it hard to give up a regular ziplock. Disposable is just so easy

  • I have come to appreciate Stasher Bags and overall I love them. One thing I wish I could change is the silicone taste that it leaves on the food that is stored in the bags. Kind of a big issue for me personally and I have stopped using them altogether. Maybe it's a me problem?!

  • Cleaning these are the bane of my existence. Great idea in theory, but i just avoid these like the plague because the material holds on to crumbs and sticky foods, and I hate cleaning them

  • The Stasher Bag deserves some credit for reducing plastic waste. The quality silicone makes them durable and long-lasting. However, I don't reach for them as often as I'd like due to a few pain points: - They're tedious to clean thoroughly. The thickness, while durable, makes washing the insides a chore. Frequent hand-drying is needed to prevent residue build-up, making the dishwasher less convenient. - The seals are unreliable and not completely air-tight. This causes issues for storing items that need maximal freshness. - The sandwich bags don't work well for soft breads, usually resulting in smashed sandwiches. The sizing of the inserts just doesn't play nice with standard sandwich dimensions. I love the idea. But the consumer experience needs refinement before these can be seamless swaps for disposable bags. For now, they work best for small loose snacks that don't require airtight, long-term storage. The hassle outweighs the benefits for more delicate foods.

  • Love these, conceptually. They’re great for packing stuff like electronics chargers and personal care items. Cleaning them can be super annoying. I stored pet treats in one of my clear ones and I haven’t been able to fully clean it.

  • The Stasher bag initially seemed like a game-changer for sustainable storage, but it fell short of expectations in maintaining its cleanliness. While I appreciated its reusable design, it lost its pristine look after just one use. Despite thorough washing, it retained a slightly dirty appearance that never quite returned to the original, new feel. It's a decent choice for eco-conscious storage, but be prepared for it to look perpetually used.

  • Durability and Reusability: One of the most significant advantages of silicone bags is their durability. Unlike plastic bags that can tear or degrade over time, silicone bags are made to last. They are highly resistant to heat and cold, making them suitable for a wide range of storage needs. This durability also means they can be reused multiple times, reducing waste. Versatility: Silicone bags are incredibly versatile. They can be used for storing leftovers in the fridge, freezing food, and even cooking. Many are microwave and dishwasher safe, making them convenient for everyday use. Some can even be used for sous-vide cooking, a method of cooking food sealed in airtight bags in a water bath at precise temperatures. Eco-Friendly: By using silicone bags, you contribute to reducing the amount of single-use plastics that end up in landfills and oceans. Silicone is a more environmentally friendly material than plastic, and its reusability makes it a sustainable choice for conscious consumers.

  • We have tried multiple types of silicone reusable bags and these are, by far, my favorite! The zipper works great, is leakproof and the bags are easily cleaned. The different sizes serve many puposes - leftovers, snacks, school lunch, etc.

  • Best thing since sliced bread! I used these for snacks and even leftover spaghetti sauce, which did not stain these well-made bags; quite the miracle on that one. I highly recommend these for everything including trinkets or things like safety pins, etc.
