My son was 5 months old when I first visited Nicki’s
Diapers. When I walked in, I was immediately drawn to a table filled with
vibrant colors and beautiful patterns. I had no idea what the Planet Wise Wet Bag was, but I couldn’t stop sifting through the multiple patterns of these
great bags that I knew I had to take home. (Ask my husband, anything that is
appealing to the eye I want immediately, even if I have no clue how I’ll use
it.)
I decided on a small wet bag and matching changing pad, as I
was tired of the bulky all-in-one changing systems I had previously been using.
They weren’t flexible, they were heavy and they were huge! But as a new mom, I
didn’t know any different from purchasing all of my baby needs at big box
stores.
The Small Planet Wise Wet Bag turned out to be perfect for
my son and me. He wasn’t going through as many diapers as he had been when he
was younger, and I was ready to get rid of my huge diaper bag. The small wet
bag fit just what I needed to take my little guy out and about — two to three
diapers, the matching changing pad and a travel case of wipes — and it allowed
me to start carrying a purse again.
My son is 15 months old now, and that wet bag has traveled
all over the place. I’ve received multiple compliments along the way — from how
cute and stylish the pattern is to how compact and easy it looks to use, people
take notice, and I’m more than happy to say where I got it from and how great
it has been in my life! When I’ve had to throw a wet diaper in the bag until I
found a place to toss it, I’ve never had an issue with it leaking through to
other items in my purse nor have I had to deal with a permeating funky smell.
It’s been so useful in our life that with our second baby
due in the fall, I’ve already purchased another wet bag and changing pad. This
way I can still keep the bulky diaper bag at bay and give the kids a little
flair in their diapering identity. Not to mention the ease that will come for
both my husband and I with grabbing one little bag filled with all the
diapering needs when either one of us takes only one of the kids out and about.

I have two small wet bags and I have found that if I dunk the prefold in the toilet (like I do at my parents' house for BMs), the outside of the bag feels wet to the touch when I take it out. I make sure to wring out as much water as I can, but after a few hours it feels damp. Does this happen to anyone else? Is there anything I should be doing differently?
Do you remember what the red planetwise changing pad pattern was called? I was just gifted one and would love to get a matching wet bag but since it is retired, I'm having a hard time finding it.
