Your Summer (and Year-Round!) Secret Weapon: The Humble Wet Bag

A wet bag is a necessity in the summer. Honesty I keep it with me all year around but in the summer it serves as a place to keep swimsuits, wet towels, open popsicles and any matter of things that need to be contained. It is easy to throw in the wash and keeps the car and my purse clean from the mess that is inside of it.

Your Summer (and Year-Round!) Secret Weapon: The Humble Wet Bag

Summer is just around the corner, bringing with it sunny days, splashing fun, and... well, a whole lot of wet stuff! If you're not already a devotee of the wet bag, let me tell you, you're missing out on a serious game-changer.

Honestly, I keep a wet bag with me all year round, but in the summer, it truly becomes an indispensable companion. Think of it as your portable, mess-containing superhero.

Why is a wet bag so essential, especially in summer?

• Swimsuit Sanctuary: After a dip in the pool or a trip to the beach, where do those dripping swimsuits go? Straight into the wet bag! It keeps your other belongings dry and your car seats free from damp patches.

• Wet Towel Tamer: No one wants a soggy towel making a mess of their tote bag. Pop it in a wet bag, and you're good to go.

• Popsicle Patrol: This might sound odd, but those half-eaten, melting popsicles that your child insists on bringing from the park? Contain the sticky disaster in a wet bag!

• Mystery Mess Management: From muddy shoes to leaky snack containers, the wet bag is ready to tackle any unexpected damp or messy item that needs to be contained before it ruins your car interior or the contents of your purse.

The best part? These bags are incredibly easy to use and clean. Just toss the whole thing (contents removed, of course!) directly into the washing machine. They're designed to be durable and waterproof, making them perfect for holding in all the mess.

So, do yourself a favor this summer and grab a few wet bags. Your car, your purse, and your sanity will thank you!
