Trash bags

Diaper bags can get overstuffed with junk in no time. In an effort to keep them tidy and manageable, I have started to use some convenient disposable diaper bags by Bags on Board. I know what you're thinking. . . they look like the baggies people use to collect dog poop. Well, you're right. Made by the same people who make doggie and cat trash bags, the diaper bags are tightly rolled up into a fist sized container that clips onto the diaper bag strap or stroller frame making them a cinch to snag in a stinky moment.

The next time you're lunching at your friend's house and Junior has an accident, you won't be embarrassed to hand her a heaping diaper. Instead, the messy nappy will be discreetly stashed away in a scented bag that never even made it into your orderly diaper bag!

When I'm on the go and run the risk of changing a diaper while I'm out, I carry a few mini disposable diaper sacks ($8 for a box of 250) with me.

When there's a trash can at your disposal, you're in the clear but many times, that's not an option. These petite trash bags will save your hide, if not your nose on occasion. Small and thin, you can easily stuff ten or so in your diaper bag without adding bulk. And, they are scented with a fresh baby powder perfume that will make everything smell better.

Useful for other things besides baby diapers, I often throw food scraps, used tissues, and my own garbage into them. Keep a few in the car for the unexpected junk that accumulates there as well.
