    I often use those plastic zip bag things that sheet sets etc come in. Maybe see if you've kept any of them.

    A plastic shopping bag? We use these as bin bags as well, and if you tie them carefully I've re-used them as wetbags many times. That's personal use though, I don't think day care, for example, would see the point of tying carefully so they can be untied without ripping.

    I want something nice to go with my nappy bag which really isnt a proper nappy bag just one that I spotted at a bag shop and bought. I had to buy a mummy hook so it can hang off my pram.

    i think the $15 baby beehinds wetbags are very well made, but as they are a plain PUL, no print, they are not a fashion wetbag, and as such, as priced much lower than the really fancy ones. So i think that is a bargain entry, yet excellent quality - if keeping the smell in, and the nappy bag dry is your aim. (i quite like the purple myself but we all like different colours).

    by the time you BUY two nappy cuts of PUL, and a good chunky zip, and the thread etc, i think $15 IS A BARGAIN. (esp for those of us sewing challenged types - although learning how to sew in a zip, is on my list of things i want to learn).

    i liked having at least two wetbags - one in use (sitting in nappy bag, ready to go), and one in the nappybucket/being washed/drying.

    If i hadn't put one in the childcare bag, i know the CCC staff would have sent home ONE plastic bag for EVERY nappy they took off my child (even the dry ones!!!). So i'm glad on an environmental level, and a economic level, that we used wetbags.
