Why use wetbags?
My SIL is smart. She recently asked me to make 2 wetbags for her son who has just started pre-school. My nephew need a bag to place all his cups, cutlery and plates. Another one is for storing his swimming attire and towel. I was wondering why she would not want to get the cheap ones from shopping malls (don’t think she ever thought about the harmful substance in PVC). But guess what, and when I found out, her concern is that her son’s bag must be “machine washable”!
Why are wetbags so expensive? Can’t we just use the very cheap and commonly PVC bags?
Unlike PVC bags, Wetbags is totally made of cloth and a water barrier layer sewn seperately inside to prevent wicking. You can easily toss them in your regular wash and dry cycle along with your cloth pads or cloth diapers. By washing and reusing these bags, you can help to minimize the use of plastic and help to save our environment.
What is PVC?
PVC is one of the most toxic substances contaminating our planet throughout its lifecycle. A plastic commonly known as ‘vinyl’, PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) is the most environmentally damaging of all plastics. It is so commonly used and many “better” plastic zipped bags are sold in the market and made of these materials.
