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!

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 experienced a leak. If I can't get to a trash can, I do have a washed out plastic butter container that I'll set it in awaiting a trash or home trash, just in case.

Another reviewer mentioned letting their kid pee 4 times in this, but wow, I could never do that with my daughter. She soaks the pad included and then some in just one pee, plus I don't want to take the chances of using these bags beyond their limits (they're only meant for one bathroom break) and spring a leak.

The bags fit perfectly over the potty and hook on the super sturdy "feet" of the potty. At first my daughter did not like sitting on the bag so I had to MacGyver a solution. I cut down a 1 gallon ice cream bucket so it would fit perfectly under the potette plus with the feet down and locked, put the potty bag inside the bucket and over the edges of the bucket, then put the potette plus over the top of the bucket (with feet in place). That way, she was sitting on the rim of the potty and not the bag. Once she got completely comfortable with the Potette Plus, I was able to put the bag in the as directed position.

I like that they come in the smaller 10 packs so you can fit them inside the potette plus bag (that comes with the potette plus), along with hand sanitizer, flushable/biodegradable wipes, and even a couple spare sets of panties.

The price is a little out there most places, but reasonable here and very worth it if you travel and want quick potty breaks. Using grocery bags and putting paper towels/napkins/etc in them takes quite a bit longer to get situated than these.

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.

These things are very easy to attach to the potty and they are super absorbent! Definitely a must!!

Love this potty & liners! So convenient & handy to take everywhere! Lightweght & portable in the carry bag! Way better than dirty public bathrooms!

I'm a single dad who has a 1 year old boy and 4 year old little girl. Too many times I have been at a park, movie theater, etc. and my little girl has to take care of business. Strategically getting two kids into an open stall, frustratingly begging them not to touch anything while I try to build a layer of toilette paper protection for my girl was so stressful. Anyway this product helps so much because it covers the top and the sides. You are crazy if you don't get this product. I'm a 42 year old man and this is the first time I've ever felt an obligation to right a review out of sheer gratitude.

I bought the Potette plus when potty training my first child. Less than one year later, I am potty training my second. These liners are great! I know you could use regular plastic grocery store bags in a pinch, but when we are travelling, I only use these. First of all, a lot of grocery store bags have holes in them, so from experience, I can say that the mess of finding that out is not worth it. Secondly, these bags have an absorbant pad to help absorb more urine and it also helps to absorb odors. For those reviewers who are complaining about the quantity it holds, I can only imagine that perhaps they waited too long and were potty training an older child. When we were travelling to stay with friends for a few days, one liner held up to several potty uses before I discarded it. The Potette & these liners are best for people potty training their children between the ages of 18-24 months. I would not have been able to potty train my daughter & son as quickly as I did if I did not have this Potette system. This system allows for consistency which is key in potty training. It sure beats a trip to a public bathroom with a toddler! Just to give you encouragement, I was able to potty train my daughter in less than 3 weeks before her second birthday. My son is currently 21 months and after 2 weeks, nearly daytime potty trained.

This is great for any potty training parent but especially if you have multiple children or do a lot of traveling. This has been a life saver. The bags are a little pricey but so are pullups and diapers and keeping my kids potty trained is worth the extra cost.

I've gone through 10 or 20 of these packs in the past year - they are a real life saver. I'd rather have my kid pee in the back of the minivan on this, than try and find a public bathroom. The bags are not cheap - essentially they feel like cheap grocery bags with a small absorbing pad. In my past 2 orders, I've had several leaking bags, so I now double bag the Potette bags in a larger bag, as leaking urine starts to smell awful after a few days :(

[...] per bag is excessive, but you learn to live with it, especially since the convenience of not having to scramble for a bathroom makes up for the price.

The potette potty has been an absolute life saver and the refills are the cheapest here on amazon. Cannot imagine going on long road trips without them or even when she has to go potty and the gas stations are disgusting. Will continue to recommend these to every mom I know!!!!
