However, with our regular trips to the pool I noticed we have been regularly filling it up so was thinking about getting a larger Bogg bag but am debating it if is worth the cost. I have read in reviews that it is heavy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bogg-bags#post-2928306 Wed, 12 Jul 2023 11:14:55 +0000 cake2017 2928306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Lahela017: I have one I use for swim lessons, church and traveling with kids.

We've just started swim lessons and this would be amazing. How many little pouches do you use? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bogg-bags#post-2928297 Mon, 10 Jul 2023 21:37:41 +0000 catgirl 2928297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Lahela017: oh yeah, I definitely don’t use it for the beach unless I am going on my own. Though, we take a lot to the beach. I do use pouches in it to organize things but I still get annoyed having to sort through them. My current beach bag is super heavy and cumbersome but has great pockets and can hold everything we need. But I figure there is always a trade off.<br /> I think it would be great for swim lessons. I like it when we are going to the playground or park because it stands up on its own and I’m not worried about putting it down on the grass/sand/dirt/whatever. I also tend to grab it if I want to corral things in my car. It stays upright and can sit at someone’s feet </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bogg-bags#post-2928296 Mon, 10 Jul 2023 21:12:05 +0000 Lahela017 2928296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catgirl: thanks for your review!

At first I felt so boujee, but really the bag works well for us. We’ve only had it a few months so I can’t speak about the longevity but so far so good! </p> <p>The Bogg has two clear pouches that come as “pockets”, which is nice because they zip and you can rearrange them on the bag. I also use small plastic pouches for other things I don’t want wet that I bought on Amazon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bogg-bags#post-2928293 Mon, 10 Jul 2023 18:18:46 +0000 catgirl 2928293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom has a bogg bag that I was intrigued by I didn't think it was worth the price (and my mom doesn't think it is either). But I did see a knock off style one at Sam's Club that I grabbed earlier in the summer when it was on sale. I like it but don't love it. It doesn't feel big enough for all of our things and I get annoyed to not have pockets. </p> <p>This is the bag I have. The quality seems similar to the Bogg bag: <a href="https://www.samsclub.com/p/sportbrella-beach-tote/P03015073" rel="nofollow">https://www.samsclub.com/p/sportbrella-beach-tote/P03015073</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bogg-bags#post-2928292 Mon, 10 Jul 2023 11:13:05 +0000 Lahela017 2928292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone have a Bogg Bag for swimming lessons/beach time?
