I love working with WAHMs! Work at home moms are usually enthusiastic and have a genuine love for both their product and what they are trying to do. I certainly can appreciate all the hard work and time it takes to create and maintain a successful small business.
Kristen Rickert is the mom behind 529baby. She has two kids, both cloth diapered as babies. Like any business, she started off small and now 5 years later has her own online store and plans to continue to expand.
I received the wet bags for the purpose of reviewing. However all statements here are my true and honest opinion.
I was excited to try 529baby’s wet bags! I was very happy with the quality right out of the package. The zipper was a good sturdy one with a nice sized pull (I can’t stand itty bitty zipper pulls!) The PUL used in the bags is also heat sealed to create a longer lasting and even more reliable wetness barrier.
I personally always look for something that’s a little different and ‘calls’ to me. She’s got a good selection of cute prints in all sizes of the wet bags. 529baby also sells wet bags with a dry pocket (to store clean items while out and about), bibs, kitchen and momma cloth wet bags and diaper pail liners.
So far I am pleased with the wet bags. I haven’t had to use them to cart around any poo diapers in public, but they do a good job of holding smells in at home. The zipper is also easy to open when you have your hands…full.
Fading is one of my pet peeves… Some fabric is so pretty, but then the minute you put it through the wash it looks 10 years old. Sad face…
Thankfully, I had no problems with that here! They washed and dried beautifully. You can machine dry wet bags, but I prefer to hang mine to dry. I feel like it helps the pul last a lot longer.
I probably sound like a broken record. But I really do love supporting made in the US/Canada products and I especially love supporting small business and WAHMs.

I loved your review on 529baby Wet Bags! The only child in diapers is my Grand Daughter and now she’s back at home at Fort Campbell, KY. I didn’t know that there was such a thing until I read your review! I guess it’s good for when you are out and about to have something to put your wet diapers in until you get home. These wet bags come in some very nice colors and designs! Hey, if they work, they work! That’s all that counts! Thanks for sharing the information on these bags! I truly appreciate it! Thanks again, Michele :)

Im new to the whole cloth diapering thing and I am just loving your posts! Cleanliness is for sure one of my biggest newbie concerns and Im happy that these bags wash clean!!

I’d like to try the Honest Organic Nipple Balm :)
Jaclyn Kolesar says
Oh my gosh! So many cute prints – it’s hard to decide on just one! I think I’m going to have to say Monkey Patchwork is my fave, although there are a ton of others I find pretty much just as cute! We don’t know what we’re having though (due in Feb) so I don’t know if I should lean towards girl or boy prints. Filosophia Floral, Owls, Splendid Paisley, Black and Green Butterflies, Black and White Scrolls… they’re ALL so cute! :/
Bethany says
I liked a lot of them, especially Splendid Stripes

Considering flu season has hit my area already and there will be lots of togetherness coming up with the holidays, I’d like to have The Honest Company’s gel hand sanitizer!
