Itzy Ritzy Travel Happens Sealed Wet Bag

I am extremely disappointed with this product!!! I thought this bag was wonderful when I got it. It was a perfect size and unlike the liners with PUL I knew the water-proof layer wouldn't separate from the polyester fabric and rip. However, after just a couple of washes the "sealed seams" they brag about came undone in the inner layer. The waterproof inner layer is hemmed with stitch witch (or something like that). It is not durable and does not hold up to a high agitation wash with the diapers. I can fix the seams by using my sewing machines, but for nearly $20 a bag I shouldn't have to. The stitch witch is a good idea to prevent leaks, but it should be reinforced with stitching as well. I guess I'll go back to the bags with PUL lining. At least it takes more than 2 washes for them to fall apart.

So, I've only used this once so far, but I am quite impressed. I'm 8 months pregnant with baby #2 and have an almost 2 y.o. daughter. Her favorite thing to do is go to the zoo, and she is very excited about playing in the fountains with the other kids. I knew this would lead to lots of wet clothes this summer (plus all those yucky burpees I'm in for soon) so after reading review after review I decided this would be the wet bag for me. Here's the highlights:

CONS

Initially the bag had a pretty strong plastic smell, but this dissipated with the first washing.

Also I was sent a pattern different than what I ordered (by Itzy Ritzy, not Amazon.com) due to my choice being back-ordered. However, they quickly informed me that my original selection will be mailed at no additional cost and I may keep the one I already have.

PROS

Though this wet bag feels thick, almost insulated, it folds up to be quite compact. Empty, it takes up practically no space in the diaper bag.

It can hold a whole family of wet swimming suits, though it's not big enough for a beach towel (unless you have really thin towels). Probably two or three toddler outfits (right down to the soaking wet socks and shoes). If we're talking wet diapers or pull-ups, probably 6-8.

It was plenty big for the few wet things we had. I might add to this once I have newborn messes in the mix.

It's so pretty. Man, they sure do make cute stuff for moms these days.

All in all it did the job perfectly, no leaks, and Itzy Ritzy has great customer service!

I guess I should have read the dimensions more carefully, because this bag is really pretty small. I also didn't think about it at the time, but it could use a handle as well. I guess it's just meant for use inside a purse/diaper bag. It will hold one cloth diaper (maybe two if you stuff them in). It is really cute and well-made though!

I love this bag! I have used it coming home from the pool for wet suits, from on the go with spoiled clothes, and when I get home I just rinse it out let it air dry and its ready for the next days activities. It will keep your wet items contained, but don't place it upside-down in your bag as it may leak at the zipper.

We've had this bag for almost a year and it was awesome! I used to put dripping rinsed off diapers diapers in this bag and put it on the bag of the toilet, leaning against things and never had issues. Then recently I noticed the liner was cracking. The next thing I know the bag is wicking. I can't put anything in there that is even slightly damp. I can't bring it out of the house even for one day outings, even slightly wet diapers leak. I had bought a second bag around the same time and I have noticed that that bag is also now getting the cracking. I wash in a cold rinse/hot wash/ and a double cold rinse. I always lay anything with a PUL out to dry so this isn't going in the dryer. It's unfortunate, this had been one of the best buys I had. I'm giving it 4 stars because while it was working, it was great.
