The Ultimate Wet Bag Guide: 10 Ways to Use Your Wet Bag
If you think wet bags are just for dirty nappies, you're missing out. A good wet bag is one of the most versatile things you'll own as a parent. Here are 10 ways to use yours.
1. The swim bag
The obvious one. Throw wet swimmers, towels and goggles in after the pool or beach. No more soggy towel leaking through your handbag. Our large wet bag fits everything for a family swim session.
2. The daycare bag
Dirty clothes happen. Wet clothes happen. Food-stained clothes definitely happen. Send a wet bag in your kid's daycare bag and the carers will thank you. Everything messy goes in, zips shut, and comes home contained.
3. The beach day essential
Sandy swimmers? Sandy towel? Sand literally everywhere? Zip it all in a wet bag. Your car will thank you.
4. The travel laundry bag
On holidays, use a wet bag to separate dirty clothes from clean ones in your suitcase. No more mystery smells on day 4. Game changer for family road trips.
5. The gym bag insert
Yes, wet bags work for adults too. Chuck your sweaty gym gear in a wet bag inside your regular bag. Keeps the smell contained and your work clothes fresh.
6. The snack bag
Our smaller wet bags double as reusable snack bags. Throw in some crackers, fruit, or sandwiches. Waterproof lining means no leaks, and it's washable so you can reuse it endlessly. Way better than zip-lock bags.
7. The toiletries bag
Waterproof + wipeable + cute prints = the best toiletries bag for your bathroom drawer or travel kit. If your shampoo leaks, it stays contained.
8. The nappy bag organiser
Use different sized wet bags to organise your nappy bag. One for spare clothes, one for snacks, one for nappies and wipes. Suddenly your nappy bag isn't a black hole anymore.
9. The emergency car bag
Keep a wet bag in the car with a spare change of clothes, a towel, and some wipes. For the unexpected puddle jump, ice cream disaster, or car sickness moment. Every parent needs an emergency car bag.
10. The grocery bag
Our large wet bags are sturdy enough for a quick grocery run. Waterproof means even the leaky chicken won't be a problem. Plus you'll get compliments on your bag at the checkout.
What size wet bag do I need?
We make four sizes:
- Small - Perfect for snacks, dummies, small items
- Medium - Great for daycare, a single swim set, nappies
- Large - Fits a full family swim session, travel laundry
- XL - Beach days, weekends away, everything bags
Most parents start with a medium and then come back for more sizes once they realise how useful they are. (We warned you.)
How to wash your wet bag
Turn it inside out, machine wash on a gentle cycle, and hang to dry. That's it. They're designed to handle hundreds of washes.
Why Pekpi wet bags?
Our wet bags are made from Repreve® recycled yarn - each one uses the equivalent of several plastic bottles. They come in the same bold, exclusive prints as our swim nappies (yes, they match), and they're built to last years, not months.
They're also our second-bestselling product. Once you own one, you'll understand why.
