What is commonly referred to as a Wet Bag is a bag made from PUL (a waterproof material). It is usually sealed with a zip and designed to store used or wet items before they are washed. They are a great accessory to use in your cloth nappy journey. From storing dirty nappies when you are out in your changing bag to storing them at home before you get enough to do a wash.

The design means that they keep moisture and any smells contained within the bag so that they are a practical storage for soiled and wet nappies. They are really handy to be able to add to your changing bag when you are on the go or for storing nappies after changing at home.

Wet Bags are available in a range of sizes, from small to the largest in which you can fit 15-20 nappies. This is large enough to use as your at home, before wash storage. One of the many advantages of using a wet bag like this is that you can simply unzip the bag for and put the whole thing inside the drum. This allows the nappies to fall out during the wash cycle. All the nappies are then washed and cleaned. No need to touch or even look at the nappies for anyone who is worried about this side of using cloth nappies.

For use when out and about most people opt for a medium size bag, enough to hold a days worth of nappies. All you need to do is unzip and place this bag inside your largest storage bag. Then wash the whole lot together.

The small size tends to store 1 or 2 nappies or your reusable wipes.

Some wet bags have two sections with protection between so that when you are out of the home you can keep your dry unused nappies in one half and your used, wet nappies in the other. The bags tend to have some kind of handle. Either one that snaps together to form a loop or else permanent strong handles.

They are a crucial part of making the use of cloth nappies and wipes easy and practical. We would love to about how you find using wet bags?
