Wet bag help!

[Lees75]

I don't have a wet bag. What do I need to look out for/consider? Do I need to buy a smaller one for wipes? I go out a fair bit. What is the difference between a wet bag and a tote bag? HELP!!!!!!!!

You need to consider size - how many nappies do you want to fit in it, materials - do you want fleece, plain PUL, printed PUL, lined or not. Closures - do you want a zip closure or a draw string? You only need a separate wipes one if you plan on taking wet clean wipes in a bag - dirtied wipes can go in the main bag with the nappies.
Personally, I prefer zippered PUL wet bags for keeping in smells. I have 2 that are both print PUL and I dont find I have any wiicking though I only use pockets so not really wet on the outside of the nappy. I have one from Nappies Covered that I love cause it has attatchment loops so you can snap it on pram handles or to another bag etc - or you can remove the snap on loops all together.

Thanks for that Hannah I have changed my mind and don't think i will get one right now. I need to put my money towards increasing my stash first! So I have bought some large Glad zip-lock bags instead!

lisa,
they're pretty s imple to make if you have a sewing machine. maybe get some fabric and give it a go

I can sew (sort of!) - but definitely not zips!

You could do a drawstring one then. Very easy - just a rectangle sewn at the sides and hemed at the top with a bit of string threaded through. But zip locks work ok too (just not as pretty, lol)
