Want the best wet bag for your cloth diapers?

by Autumn Beck on September 21, 2009

We just bought a new camper (new to us) and we can’t wait to go camping!  But, first things first, I need a bigger wet bag before our first trip.

The first place I turn for wet bags is Leslie, designer of Leslie’s Boutique Wet Bags.  Over the last year and a half I have gotten to know Leslie and have seen first hand the love and quality she puts into her products.

I have been using the same Leslie’s Boutique wet bag for over 2 years…and it looks as good as new still.

I am looking for a bag that will hold at least 12 cloth diapers, cute print and is water-tight.  I don’t need any leaking of moisture or smell when I’m in a small pop-up camper. (the 16×20 wet bag looks like it might be the best fit for me)

I appreciate that on Leslie’s site (now called Cloth Diaper Superstore) has pictures of each wet bag size with the number of cloth diapers it will hold stacked next to the bag.  This is great for someone who is very visual!

There is one thing confusing about the site though, on the Wet Bag homepage there are 2 tabs: in-stock and custom.  I knew what the in-stock was but custom I assumed was a place for people who ordered custom items to go check out.  Therefore, I never clicked on it until this morning.

The custom tab is actually a page where you can order irregular, or custom, sized wet bags.  Fantastic!

Now for print selection.  What is your favorite fabric choice?  I’m leaning toward mardi gras, color bloom or fish (because we’ll be fishing a lot).

Since I’m shopping for myself I may as well buy a couple more…for two of you! Send me a comment of your favorite fabric choice and you’ll be entered.  If you want an extra entry blog, tweet or post on a forum about the giveaway.  No hoops to jump through ;)

I’ll pick a winner on Thursday the 24th around lunch time (I have 4 kids and homeschool can’t be more specific on the time :D )

Winners chosen!

Have fun!

I may be too late! But I love both of the owl ones, the frogs, and the monkeys. Too many cute fabrics! I think I may have to order one soon myself and would be ordering from here because of the fabrics.

2 Leslie September 24, 2009 at 1:38 pm

Wow Autumn….what a great response! Thanks everyone for all the kind words. As you can see, I’m a fabric FANATIC!
.
I just wanted to clarify on the custom tab for the wet bags. It actually is for fabrics that you may see on the in-stock section but they may happen to be out at the time. We will custom make your bag in any of the fabrics that are there, or even your own fabric. And yes, we can customize sizes too! We will get into the website in the next 24 hours or so and make it more clear so it’s not so confusing!
.
Good luck everyone!
Leslie

My favorite is the retro fruit and the fish. I’ve been thinking about getting a new wetbag and this would be great!

4 Kristen September 23, 2009 at 10:12 pm

I couldn’t wait to see what “Yoga Monkey’s” looked like – How Cute! Although a cartoon print isnt my first pick. The “Round About Spa” is my number one!

5 Jessie September 23, 2009 at 10:11 pm

I really like the coriander pine!

6 LesLee Parish September 23, 2009 at 9:17 pm

I LOVE the Night owls print! That is perfect for camping! Thank for the give away!

7 Jen Fischer September 23, 2009 at 7:59 pm

Hi!

I let my kids pick too, they like sock monkey and yoga monkey.
I like so many of them, I let the two older guys narrow it down. They are all so nice!

Take care!!
Jen

8 Tiffany N September 23, 2009 at 7:53 pm

What great fabrics! I really like the daisy one.

9 Laura V. September 23, 2009 at 3:00 pm

I really like the night owls! Thanks for the chance to win!

10 Lucy September 23, 2009 at 8:07 am

so many great fabrics! i’m going to go with fish. thanks.

11 Jens September 23, 2009 at 1:36 am

Wet bags can really come in handy if we will hit the road or if we will go camping. That is a real help specially for mothers. Just imagine if we have a baby in a trip without the wet bag?

12 Carla Nelson September 22, 2009 at 11:16 pm

I’d have to go with either the Brown Lotus or Boho Orchid:)

13 Erin September 22, 2009 at 7:11 pm

So hard to choose! I really love them all! I guess I would choose the mod green swirls, though for the camper I think I would go frogs or fish, good luck choosing :)

14 lynda September 22, 2009 at 7:07 pm

red asian is my favorite!

15 Catherine September 22, 2009 at 5:49 pm

I like the Night Owls or the Coriander Pine. I have Jungle Fever for my son, but I have a little girl now and need another wetbag! I love Leslie’s Boutique.

16 Nancy Liner September 22, 2009 at 5:16 pm

Wow what an incredibly tough decsion. I have never seen so many patterns I LOVE! My favorite is the retro fruit print. It is so cute! By the way I love your blog. Thank you. And thank you for such a generous offer.

17 Sandra September 22, 2009 at 4:46 pm

My little chunky Monkey would like the MONKEY print bag. Thanks, there are so many adorable prints, thanks for sharing this site with us.

18 Arwen Bobyk September 22, 2009 at 1:36 pm

Oh! Oh! I absiolutely LOVE the linen morning fabric! My 3 year old has a lovely dress I made her in this fabric and I would absolutely die to have a matching wet bag for the little lady who is expected to be born in early November! Love your blog! Thanks for all the great info!

19 Terra Jones September 22, 2009 at 12:02 pm

I love our wet bags – I think I could easily have another addiction to those ;-)

Good grief – those are beautiful fabrics! I think I’d pick Laughing Leaf b/c the ones we have are all brown & blue – apparently I’m drawn to that ;)

20 Erin Calcara September 22, 2009 at 10:26 am

I really like the fish! My son’s name is Jonah…so, I think that would be appropriate :) Thanks so much! I really appreciate your advice!

21 Joan September 22, 2009 at 8:14 am

I love the retro fruit one!! So cute!

22 Mary Beth September 22, 2009 at 7:21 am

Great giveaway! I like the Boho Orchid. marybethrabon at gmail dot com. Thanks!

23 Jillian September 21, 2009 at 11:34 pm

She has too many cute fabric choices. But I love the Yoga Monkey print. Makes me feel Zen/happy at the same time!

24 Joceline September 21, 2009 at 11:17 pm

It is a difficult choice, but I love Red Asian and Retro Fruit. Those fabrics are gorgeous!

25 Whitnie September 21, 2009 at 10:53 pm

What a great giveaway. I was wondering if I should register for one of these since we will be doing CD when baby gets here and it looks as if this is a must-have. Boho Orchid is ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE! It matches her nursery colors to a T!

26 Jennifer Bailey September 21, 2009 at 10:20 pm

My personal favorite is the aqua goth…it’s hard to find punky “goth” prints in the cloth diapering world and I’m loving that there are 2 skull fabrics here.

27 Danna September 21, 2009 at 10:19 pm

Ooooooh! I need a new wet bag. My current one is too small. i really like the red asian print as well as the orchid boho print. They are all so pretty it’s hard to choose which one I like the best!

28 Lauren September 21, 2009 at 9:18 pm

My favorite fabric…. ahhh… I like so many. Right now it’s the Coriander Pine. The selection is fantastic!

29 Heather September 21, 2009 at 8:11 pm

I love the sage zoo!

30 Nicole September 21, 2009 at 7:59 pm

So hard to pick!
But when factoring in 2 (soon to be 3!) boys, I know that “Frogs” would be a huge hit at our house.

I would LOVE a new wet bag – I have a boring plain white one that is really bugging me lately with its lack of cuteness.
Leslie’s prints are WAAAAAAAY more fun!

31 Nicole September 21, 2009 at 7:59 pm

Although it is hard to choose just one, my favorite is the coriander blue. I have it in a small bag size and I keep it hooked onto our stroller when we are out. I get TONS of compliments on the bag and it always leads to a cloth diaper discussion! :)

32 Alexis September 21, 2009 at 7:37 pm

I like black damask. Of course, that’s because it matches the black damask drapes in my nursery.

33 Amanda September 21, 2009 at 7:14 pm

As soon as I read the title of your post, I thought….Leslie’s, of course! Glad to hear that you share my love.

I’m between the fish and the laughing leaf…I love them both.

34 Heather McKinnon September 21, 2009 at 7:05 pm

My fav is Daisy Dreams. Having two little girls, this print would work with all 3 of us. :)

35 Marlana Ward September 21, 2009 at 6:50 pm

The Yoga Monkeys are just TOO cute!

36 Alison September 21, 2009 at 6:00 pm

Mango paradise all the way!!!!! Nice and brite. It would make a great convo starter!!!!

37 Stephanie September 21, 2009 at 5:22 pm

love the frog print!

38 Kathleen September 21, 2009 at 5:18 pm

Oh my gosh, how to choose! I would have to say In-The-Moood because it is just too cute! I have been wanting to try a Leslie’s wetbag since everyone seems to have only good things to say about her stuff.

39 Michelle September 21, 2009 at 5:08 pm

Brown Lotus and Sage Lacework are super cute. They would be my choice! Happy to find a link to wetbags people love, I need to find one that works for me.

40 Christine September 21, 2009 at 5:07 pm

There are so many awesome fabric choices that I couldn’t narrow my favorites down to just one so I let my boys pick. DS#1 picked the Surfboards print and DS#2 picked the Mardi Gras print. The Mardi Gras print was also one of my top picks.

41 Mya September 21, 2009 at 5:05 pm

I like brown owls! Etsy is another great place to find wet bags, but Leslies fabrics are amazing! Enter me for one!

42 Amanda September 21, 2009 at 4:33 pm

My boys love the Sock Monkeys print; they always ask why we give the monkeys dirty diapers instead of bananas in their bag! We get great comments from random strangers on this print also.

43 Stacy September 21, 2009 at 3:48 pm

I have two travel sizes in brown/blue dots and yoga monkeys and love them! I have another brand of large wetbag and have been patiently waiting to purchase a large leslie’s! Sock Monkey or Colored bangles…

44 sandy September 21, 2009 at 3:29 pm

love the cowprint! THanks! I have the travel one and it is so great for the diaper bag!

45 Melissa September 21, 2009 at 3:21 pm

I love the frogs one!

46 Shawnna September 21, 2009 at 3:19 pm

Super giveaway!! I love Round About Spa

47 Charlotte September 21, 2009 at 3:02 pm

Oh, how to choose just one? I love the Night Owls.

48 Sarah J. September 21, 2009 at 2:57 pm

What a tough decision choosing just one! There are some really cute fabrics! I think I would go with the Frogs.
We went camping this past summer in my in-laws’ camper. The bags I am currently using let moisture through, especially the dirty ones that have had the solids rinsed off and with a drawstring top, the smell started to seep out after a few days. It would be nice to have one that didn’t leak or smell!
Thank you!

49 anpnek September 21, 2009 at 2:44 pm

I blogged about it on my blog: http://thescrepneks.blogspot.com

50 Emily E. September 21, 2009 at 2:43 pm

So many cute choices! I think I would choose Carnival Bloom or Black Damask…tough choice!

Would you believe we have been using cloth diapers for 2.5 years and I still don’t have a wet bag? I know. Horrible!

51 anpnek September 21, 2009 at 2:42 pm

I like orchid dotastic and 2-d zoo. I can’t decide!

52 Becky Gittings September 21, 2009 at 2:36 pm

I really like the Color Bangles and Mardi Gras! so vibrant and colorful!! :)

53 Dae September 21, 2009 at 2:18 pm

Oh gosh, I would LOVE to win one of these! I bought a well-loved wetbag when my ds was born almost a year ago and it “died” on me a couple months ago. I’ve been using grocery bags for the past two months for dirty diapers! Let me tell ya, the crunching sound and lovely “artwork” of grocery bags stuffed inside the diaper bag is something I’d love to say, “good bye” to very soon! It’s not very appealing to change ds’s diaper and have to shove it in a grocery bag before someone sees, lol! I would love ANY print that’s not really girly, because I’m so desperate for a real wetbag! The brown/blue dots print matches my diaper bag, the brown owls, 2-D zoo, Round About Spa, Navy Santa Barbara, Frogs, Night Owls, In the Moood, and Surfboards are all adorable! I think the two owl prints are probably my favorite, but as I said, I’d take just about anything at this point, as long as it doesn’t have a grovery store logo on the side! : D

54 Jackie September 21, 2009 at 2:14 pm

It is so hard to choose! I like the orchid dottastic…one of many!

55 Kristin September 21, 2009 at 2:11 pm

I love the coriander pine. I use planetwise wetbags, and have only had one for about three months and the laminate is already peeling off on the inside!! I would love to try a new one out!

56 Libby H September 21, 2009 at 2:10 pm

I love the coriander pine! Thanks for the chance!

57 Tina September 21, 2009 at 2:10 pm

hmmm…gotta love the sock monkeys…(I already have different sized wet bags in daisy dreams and light blue pareo–i love the ‘grab-n-go’ 9×9 wet-bag for out and about)

58 Ruth September 21, 2009 at 2:07 pm
59 Ruth September 21, 2009 at 2:05 pm

I would love one of these! My current wetbag was tossed in from a Craigslist sale and holds three diapers tops. I break out the plastic bag if we need more than that. I love the 2-D zoo fabric. thanks!

60 Lacey Miller September 21, 2009 at 2:03 pm

My favorite so far is the Yoga Monkeys too! Sooo super cute!

61 karen September 21, 2009 at 2:00 pm

they’re ALL so pretty! i woudl choose the Carnival Bloom I think. Thanks so much!!

62 Beth R September 21, 2009 at 1:58 pm
63 Beth R September 21, 2009 at 1:54 pm

What a hard choice! She has so many awesome materials, but I would go with groovy orchid. :)

64 Kia September 21, 2009 at 1:45 pm

These are really nice looking! I’d select Daisy Dreams! Thanks for the chance!

65 Kate Awad September 21, 2009 at 1:42 pm

I love the chocolate damask. Super cute bags.

66 heidi September 21, 2009 at 1:40 pm

I love Red Asian and Sock Mockey!! there are so many cute ones though its a hard choice!

67 Denise September 21, 2009 at 1:37 pm

How do you choose with that many cute prints?!?

I think I like groovy spa, but they are all so cute!!

68 Kelly September 21, 2009 at 1:27 pm

That is REALLY HARD! But if forced to choose just one, I think I would go with the Red Asian! Very colorful and super cute! I love wetbags!

69 Shannon Ropp September 21, 2009 at 1:27 pm

I don’t have a wet beg yet but I need one. not enough $$ to spare. I love the love the ‘In the MOOD’ print!

70 kriscake September 21, 2009 at 1:17 pm

I love both the sock monkey and the retro fruit fabric. Both are amazingly cute and I would be proud to stick my wet nappies in them. I wish I had known about these with my first daughter. All I had was a plain wet bag from the camping store but it worked well and never sprang a leak.

71 Nicole September 21, 2009 at 1:16 pm

I love the Mardi Gras!

72 Jenn September 21, 2009 at 1:13 pm

So many great fabric choices! Retro Fruit is my favorite!
I’m posting link on my FB to your blog too ;)

73 Wendy September 21, 2009 at 1:13 pm

I’m leaning toward the Color Bloom. I think it very vibrant. I, personally, have the Yoga monkeys and think that one is cute too. I also love my wetbag from her. She does excellent work.

74 Lisa Steenberg September 21, 2009 at 12:53 pm

Wow! REALLY hard to pick ONE favorite!!!

But, since I have to…I will go with the CARNIVAL BLOOM…

…Very nice! Girly, but not too over the top. Overall there is a really nice variety of selections in the fabrics that look really good!

I like these a lot!

Lisa

75 Ali September 21, 2009 at 12:51 pm

I love Mod Green Swirls! I also like cow as it matches our carseat. I have been looking for a wet bag. My husband is really resistant to extended our cloth diapering outside of the home, but with a new and funky wet bag…I may be able to convince him.

76 Amanda Plouzek September 21, 2009 at 12:49 pm

Brown /blue dots would match fairly well in my little boy’s room. I love Leslie’s bags and own two of them! (I only have two). I am needing another for between washes, since we use one in the main floor, and one in the 2nd floor. I love the zipper closure and don’t find smell a problem. Thanks!

77 Vicky September 21, 2009 at 12:43 pm

Oclothdiapers just twitted about your giveaway :)

78 Vicky September 21, 2009 at 12:39 pm

Hi Autumn
My favorite fabric would be the yoga monkeys – oh so cute!!!

79 Amy September 21, 2009 at 12:39 pm

I can’t decide between Sock Monkeys and Paradise Mango! So many cute choices. :-)

80 Sarah Flukinger September 21, 2009 at 12:37 pm

I love all the prints!! I was having a hard time choosing just one, but I really like the Night Owls, maybe because we are gearing up for Autumn, Autumn!! LOL!! But that seems like so much fun and very gender neutral!! Thanks for your post as I will be looking to add more wetbags to my collection soon as we are expecting #2!!

81 Kari September 21, 2009 at 12:36 pm

that’s awesome…love the maxfield blue print! please enter me in the giveaway. Love all the helpful info…I’ve been researching cloth diapering for months….I have 55 days to go to my little man is here & I’m just as confused as the day I started researching. I’m so glad I found your site, great info!

82 sonja lange September 21, 2009 at 12:33 pm

I love Maxfield Blue! These look way more cute than the plain red one we currently use!

83 Allie September 21, 2009 at 12:31 pm

Wow! So many cute prints to choose from but if I had to choose a favorite it would be the boho orchid. So pretty! Thanks for offering this. :0)

84 Stacey September 21, 2009 at 12:28 pm

This is a hard choice!! I think I would pick Frogs. How cute!! Thanks for offering a fun giveaway!

85 Nicole September 21, 2009 at 12:28 pm

The Animal Crackers print is adorable!

86 Casey September 21, 2009 at 12:27 pm

If you’re going to keep this wet bag in the camper full time I think the fish is really cute, but if you’re going to use it other times, too I’d go with the color bloom. It’s so hard to choose!
There are so many good choices, normally I lean toward stripes or the damask, but for some reason the Turquoise Calaveras is catching my eye.

I love these types of contests! Thanks Mama!!

87 Tiffany Underwood September 21, 2009 at 12:26 pm

I just posted about the giveaway on my blog.

tiffanyselephants.blogspot.com

Thank you! I love your site!

88 Tiffany Underwood September 21, 2009 at 12:23 pm

LOVING the wet bag print choices. It seems so many wet bag makers tend to use the same fabrics! The fish are adorable, but I LOVE the Mardi Gras and even the Mod Green Swirls!!! I may have to get one for myself if I don’t win one!!! :)

89 Crystal September 21, 2009 at 12:23 pm

She has so many great prints- I think I like the colorful spirals because it is gender neutral. And FUN!

90 Cory September 21, 2009 at 12:20 pm

I like the sage lacework, which is stylish and looks like Queen Anne’s Lace — chic camping for sure. Or to go with something more whimsical, you can’t beat sock monkey!

91 Crystal September 21, 2009 at 12:18 pm

Enter me please! I am so excited to get started with cloth diapers!

92 Whitney September 21, 2009 at 12:14 pm

I just posted about this on Lake Norman Mommies Network in the Natural Living forum. Thanks so much!!

93 Cyndy September 21, 2009 at 12:10 pm

The Yoga Monkeys are so cute! I have put my Leslie wet bag through the wringer and it has held up well! I’m always finding another place/reason why I think I need another one, but have so far managed my impulses.

Have a great camping trip! Can’t wait to hear how it went.

94 Whitney September 21, 2009 at 12:08 pm

What a fun giveaway (and for something I am in desperate need of)!! I liked so many of the fabric choices, but my favorite is the classy Black Damask. Now I’m off to post about this on our local Mommy forum :) .

95 Nancy September 21, 2009 at 12:07 pm

Autumn,

Sign me up for fishies as well, lol! I’m glad you posted about wet bags because I’ve been too overwhelmed by all the choices. :(

Nancy Martin

96 Teri s September 21, 2009 at 12:02 pm

LOVE the green martini print!

97 Catherine September 21, 2009 at 11:57 am

I love Blue Sky and Green Martini Dots (which actually matches the fabric I used in the nursery!). So cute, and I’m so glad to hear a recommendation on wet bags, which I need to order some of soon.

98 Meg September 21, 2009 at 11:56 am

Our faves are the Linen Morning and Green Pears. So cute!
