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.

  • These are the GOAT of reusable bags. They wash incredibly well and are leak-proof (though I’m not carrying soup around in them, so ymmv). I’ve tried other (cheaper) brands and nothing holds a candle to Stasher. We go back to these time & time again.

  • Great, but a bit pricey for what you get! Ours lasted 3-4 months but then we had a bunch tear right around the same time. Also a bit tough to get stains/smells out if you leave something in there.

    Feedback

    Price point is high - they tear easily.

  • I love these! They are easy to use everyday and are a great alternative for plastic bags.

    Feedback

    Sometimes my food tastes a little funny after using them.

  • Love!!! Super easy to clean, keeps food fresh, and I love the colors.

  • We got some small stasher bags two years ago for our treat bags on dog walks. They work like a charm, fit in even tiny pockets, and are eco friendly.

  • The bags are sturdy and looking fine, but it is really hard to wash the zipliner part so food can get stuck there and this makes the bag unusable.

  • I love this product. They have such a variety of options and I use them for everything. I love how they are non toxic too.

    None

  • These are amazing, you can put them in the dishwasher. I've had mine for years and they don't smell or anything. I love them!

  • Love how sturdy they are but still easy enough for my younger kids to use.

    Feedback

    Color options and designs would be nice.

  • An easy step in achieving sustainability and creating sustainable habits.

    Feedback

    The openings are really small, so I usually have to size up a bag (ex: can’t fit sandwich in sandwich bag so I use a quart sized bag)

  • Love these, great that it’s sustainable and easy to use. Dishwasher friendly, and great to have one hand.

    Feedback

    There needs to be a way to store these better, maybe I have not figured it out yet. Can take up a decent amount of space in drawer/cabinet.

  • I love the idea of these bags and I use mine a lot! Very convenient and waterproof.

    Feedback

    The thickness of the side walls could improve. I was using one for a travel-toiletry bag and the side of the bag completely split. Not on a seam, on the middle of the side. I had to replace it for $20. Other similar bags have not done that to me!

  • Useful alternative to disposable bags. They stay shut when put in a lunchbox or tossed into my messenger bag- don't have to worry about spills.

    Feedback

    One of the lighter colors I have stained lightly, and the stain didn't come out even after multiple washes- it's very slight though and the bag is still usable.

  • These bags are an excellent idea and work so well but also we broke two within the first two weeks - we are delicate with them - they are too pricey for a product so un-durable. I'm willing to pay that price point so I don't HAVE to replace them every few months. Defeats the idea. Still use them though and if they get more durable then I would rate them five stars. Also, it's amazing they are dishwasher safe.

    Feedback

    Make them more durable! They break easily!

  • Stasher makes it easier to be more sustainable, which I love. The colors are super fun, and clean up is easy with most foods. We bought them for school lunches and snack for my preschooler, and she gets excited each day to see what color combination she gets in her lunchbox.

    Feedback

    The bags are challenging to open for small hands - you really have to put strength into it, so it took my little on a while to be able to access what was inside by herself. It would be great to see if there was a way to make that easier. Also, the nooks/crannies on the bag can be hard to clean, even after a run in the dishwasher, as food can get stuck in there.

  • Useful as a sandwich bag, I like having an alternative to Tupperware that is squishable in my backpack

    Feedback

    A little hard to clean. can it be made from recycled plastic (or if it is already, cool!)

  • I love the idea of a reusable "ziploc" bag. But, they were in my cabinet for three months before I used them for the first time. They seemed difficult to clean given the geometry of the bag.

    Feedback

    I think I'd rather use aluminum foil that can be recycled. I wish the bag geometry was light and closer to a plastic ziploc bag, thus making it easier to clean and carry. I love that the bags are re-usable but are they eventually biodegradable (or is there a plan to make the same design with non-silicone materials)? Or will they have been used multiple times but still sit in the same landfill as ziploc bags?

  • I’ve had been using ziploc bags for forever. I’ve started using stasher bags because they looked cute. But shortly after buying my first one, I realized how good they actually were. Today we only use stasher bags in our home and not only for food storage. I use them as make up bags when I travel, the snack size is great for taking jewelry on the go in handbags. High quality and amazing initiative to reduce worlds plastic waste.

  • Love these for saving the rest of a package of somethingive opened that needs to be refrigerated. It keeps things nice and fresh plus the little bags are so cute
