Our planet wise wet bags seem to be showing a lot of wear and tear after 18+ months in heavy rotation.
Not sure if we should replacd with the same or if something better is out there...what has worked for you?

@autumnlove: how long have yours lasted? We were hanging them on the line with the dipes but they seemed to be deteriorating... This week I sprayed out a diaper, squeezed it out and put it in one of our bags and totally had a leaking spot! Yuck!

@MamaCate: About 16 months but I only wash them about once a week!

We use planetwise for daycare and we have one called Kangeroo or KangaCare at home. The planetwise ones are holding up great, and they each get washed approximately 2x per week.

We have wet bags that we bought on etsy through this vendor:
http://www.etsy.com/shop/SweetBobbins
We have two x-large bags, after just over a year of heavy use (we washed the bag with the diapers every time, which was ~8x a week at first) the lining started to crack so we bought a second at that time.
What we've started to do now is use these cheap laundry bags from amazon
http://www.amazon.com/Trademark-Home-Heavy-Jumbo-Laundry/dp/B001L1BTDY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1380300811&sr=8-1&keywords=laundry+bag
And we place those inside either the wet bag or a trash can that has a foot control. It has worked out really well for us, and we are not washing the wet bags nearly as much so I think these 2 will last us through the next couple babies.
My sister also had issues with planet wise bags but has also been happy with bags she bought through the above etsy vendor.

I preferred Itzy Ritzy and Blueberry and wasn't a big fan of Plant Wise, personally.

Hmmm...maybe the ones I got are just not as good. We have been hanging them inside lately but they just seen to be wearing out. I am wondering if it was the sun or bleach or something else.

I don't use them for CD'ing, but I just bought my second Itzy Ritzy Travel Happens Wet Bag because I was happy with my first one! Cute prints and large size. I haven't had any odor or leaking issues (storing blowout clothes and swimsuits, etc.)

I've tried a bunch of different wet bags and I found them all to be so heavy. I use good ole ziploc bags (the huge ones!). I love those!

Bump! Any other suggestions?
What to use in the nursery? (1-2 days worth of diapers)
What to use in the diaper bag on the go (1-4 diapers)?
What to use for daycare? (Cheap, hold 5-6?)

@T.H.O.U.: Fuzzibunz makes one with a zippered bottom that we use in a pail for in the house. I love it because I can set it in the washer and just unzip the bottom. We have a front-loader; sorry, but gravity doesn't work as well for "dumping" when you aren't doing it in a "down" direction.
I really like one I got off Etsy for working well AND looking cute, but it was a gift and, honestly, I wouldn't spend that much on a wetbag. Rumparooz makes our favorite for outings and can hold a full day's worth (even when she was smaller). They have a snapping handle, which I can connect to the outside of my bag or purse if I am ever running short of room. They also work well for wet pool stuff, or dirty clothes, or holding a woven wrap... I felt that the Planetwise ones we tried felt damp to the touch on the exterior. If it's going to be in a bag with my other stuff, I don't like that at all.
