Kalencom Potette Plus On the Go Potty Liner Re-Fills 10-Pack

I am a pregnant mom of two, ages 3 & 1. I got them in the car after shopping and realized I had to go! I wasn't about to drag them back into the store! I have a minivan. I crouched between the seats, and took a chance. These bags can hold a lot of volume! So, they're durable! Not a proud moment, but necessary! My 3y/o is great with them and they were a lifesaver when we drove 12hrs to vacation with a preschooler with a tiny bladder!

We love, love, LOVE our Potette Plus, but these inserts are waaaaay too expensive for what they are. They are just plastic GROCERY BAGS. Yeah, they have an absorbent pad thingie on the bottom (which is so stinky I get a headache), but you can get the same effect by using a panty liner (way cheaper), or a diaper turned inside out (and we had plenty left over when our kiddo crossed over to potty training) on the bottom of a grocery bag...and then you are just using things that would get tossed out anyhow.

First of all, I want to start off by saying I love recycling and have done the reusing of grocery bags with everything possible, potties included. Grocery bags work great if you're alright with all the added bulk. But with the Potette and Potette Plus, it's a very compact potty and the extra bulk can be obnoxious when you take it shopping/zoo/hiking/park or sometimes even annoying in the car. I use the grocery bags (preferably the thicker Target ones) with either a maxi pad (weird, but it works) or napkins (who doesn't have napkins in the car?) in a pinch. I tried to re-use gallon sized ziploc bags, but they were too small. If I am taking our Potette Plus out and about with us, I MUCH prefer to have these. Much more absorbent than they look. Faster to use. Just very convenient.

The bags could stand to be a little thicker, but so far, I've never had a leak. I also immediately find a trash to toss it in instead of leaving it in the car so this could be why I've never... Read more
