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 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.

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. :(

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 :) .

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.

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!

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

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!!! :)

Thank you! I love your site!

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!!

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)

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

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!

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!!

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

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!

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.

25 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!

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.

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

I love the Mardi Gras!

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.

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!

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!

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!

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

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

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!
