I got these for two reasons, one is that my mother in law just had a double hip replacement and uses a potty chair next to her bed, and second we camp with little ones which can be a challenge. Firstly, they work great for a potty chair, obviously I will not show how great they work, but they are just as advertised. She is able to get her chair ready by herself and her aid can easily help her clean up. I’m not sure the exact clean up routine, but her aid gave a thumbs up. She said the heaviness/thickness of the bag was better than most she had used in the past, she like the drawstring style close to contain the mess as well as smell (sorry to be gross), and overall disposing of the used bag was easier since the absorbent pad helped soak up wetness. She said the size of the bag was perfect for a potty chair. Secondly, for the little ones while camping, we have a short platform/table set up with a bucket and seat on it, and we used other bags and it was always a mess. Since this is for little ones the bucket is smaller to this size bag did a good job and again, the absorbent pad made a world of difference in clean up. I am fortunate in that where we camp (boondocking) the campground has a space to dispose of such waste. Overall, I am more than satisfied with how this bag and pad system works. I will continue to use them. I did try to set up on a 5 gallon bucket, but my opinion is it would not work because it is too deep. Also, 35 oz. of absorbing capacity is a lot, which is awesome when you’re camping.
