Creative Uses for a Wetbag

Wet bags are fabulous inventions, designed predominantly to store dirty nappies when out and about, this humble creation has been raised to cult status with hundreds of funky styles, brands and prints available on the market. From an environmental perspective, wet bags are a fabulous alternative to non-biodegradable plastic bags that end up in our waterways and littered across the beautiful countryside.

We’d love to hear your ideas for the hundreds of possible uses of a good wet bag.

For a chance at the Nest Nappies’ $20 gift voucher, let us know (by commenting below) your most creative and original use of a wet bag. This competition opens at 8:00 pm and finishes at 8:30 pm on August 15, 2010, as part of our Community Games Night. The winner will be judged by Elizabeth from Nest Nappies after 8:30 pm on 15-08-10. The winner will be judged on creativity and originality.

  7. pop some ice in - a small wetbag could double as a stubby cooler .. and a large one could double as an eski ;)

    and we all know us mums need a beverage now and then ;)

  11. nothing as creative as above. we use ours as wetbags and:
    for wet swimmers after swimming.
    to put a wet face washer in while we are out and about for dirty hands and faces.

    ** I used it last week for the 2 stroke chainsaw oil I had to drop off to hubby so it wouldn't/might not spill in the boot of the car (as he had the ute)

    Camping, packing, stuff it full, fishing, splashing, whoops,
    raining, showers, dripping tarps,
    always lovely dry clothes -
    From a "wet" bag, how cool is that.

  13. Money pouch at a garage sale/sausage sizzle/goods stall. Especially ones that have more than one pocket (eg Cushie Tushies) as you can use one section for notes and the other for coins. Handles mean you can keep them on your wrist (unlike a money tin), making it harder for someone to take... Not that many people would want to swipe a nappy bag ;-)

  14. As a lady pregnant with her first baby, unfortunately i have yet to purchase a large wetbag (its on my to buy list). However, in my assortment of pop-in dream dri nappies i was lucky enough to purchase 2 x pop-in trial packs and received small wetbags, 1 of which is currently in my handbag, containing all the small items that usually roll around in the bottom of my bag: Lipgloss, panadol, tic tacs, mylanta (my life saver atm) eye drops, nail file handcream, small perfume, anti-bacterial gel and a muesli bar :) Nice to have everything within reach and not have to empty out my bag looking for something!

  15. great for using to put my toiletries in when travelling - just incase there are leaks they won;'t go through my entire suitcase, and they are the perfect shape for packing!
