Bumkins 2 Count Reusable Snack Bags

Bumkins 2 Count Reusable Snack Bags, Blue/Green, SmallI was bit confused after reading two previous reviews about the waterproofness of these bags. Decided to give them a go. I've put in sliced up apples, just washed grapes and sliced pears and it all worked out fine for snack time. Wouldn't put strawberries or raspberries or anything that can get mushy in a bag for snack. They do hold up for day to day snacks. but not for sliced pears left in a backpack over an entire weekend:) my bad. The wetness was 99 percent contained but not the smell. We really like these bags and use them to replace zip lock where ever possible.

I own both the Bumkins snack bag and the Itzy Ritzy Snack Happens 2 Count Snack Mini Reusable Snack Bag, Funky Monkey Remix.

Here's my review of the Itzy Ritzy: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3NN1E99D5C4HM

I like the Bumkins bag a lot better because:

1. it's MUCH easier to thoroughly wash and dry on a day-to-day basis. This is the same material as the super awesome Bumkins Waterproof Super Bib. It doesn't hold stains and dries in a jiffy. This makes it very practical to use every day which is key for busy moms. Itzy Ritzy was a lot more difficult to keep clean.

and

2. way cheaper than Itzy Ritzy

Both have zippers, which I prefer to the velcro.

The prints are loud and colorful. Some adults may find them garrish. My kid loves the Dr. Seuss pattern. I personally would be fine taking this in my own lunch to work. Sure, it's a kid's print, but who cares. It's a sack lunch snack bag. If someone at work is going to make fun of you for having a Dr. Seuss snack bag, they need to seriously grow up.

It's NOT waterproof, but will hold moist things fine. You probably don't want to put anything super juicy in it.

Below is my original 4-star review...After using these for an entire school year I decided to upgrade their star rating to 5. Why?? They have held up very well and I wash them in the washer. I do not wash on gentle cycle but to wash them with only lightweight/non zipper-button clothing only i.e. PJs, T-shirts, etc. I do let them air dry. As my review below stated, I was apprehensive about the thinner material vs. the Itzy Ritzy Snack Happened Mini Playground Superheroes ones I ordered at the same time. However, at half the price I think they are definitely worth it. Give them a try, I think you will be happy with the experience :)

**Original Review**

I didn't give these bags 5 stars because the material is a little on the thin side. There is a big difference between these and the ItzyRity ones---but the price is cheaper for these. I am hoping they last---but for the price paid I believe 4 stars is fair.

"Made of bumkins easy wipe waterproof fabric" does manufacturer think that "polyester" would scare everyone off? Instead of coming up with new marketing terms please treat your customers like adults.

Overall it's a nice looking polyester fabric bag with plastic zipper closure. In my opinion it'll be less hygienic, in the long run, than reusing a zip-lock bag...but it looks good. The reason why I think that is that the fabric is woven (on the inside too there's no liner) therefore there's no way to wash all the food off the fabric and because it's plastic it cannot be disinfected with high heat.

They are practical. I use them for baby snacks. If she drops them when we're out and about I just come home and wash them. I was wasting too many disposable snack baggies before.
