Baggu Review


I have started to try to become as earth friendly as I can. So by doing this I was happy to review a bag from Baggu. I received this bag that is shown above. I take it to all the stores when I go shoping. I have also used it in my princesses diaper bag for a bad incase she was to have a accident.
This product is very easy to clean. All you have to do is pop it into the washer and hang dry the Baggu Bag. So for this case you could us the Baggu Bag for any messy situtions that you could come up with.
There are all kinds of different colors that you could choose from. I love the color that I received.
I have received Baggu Bag for my input of my thoughts about there product and I was not paid for doing this review.
