What is a WAG Bag?
A WAG bag, short for “Waste Alleviation and Gelling” bag, is a portable bag toilet to use when traditional restroom facilities are unavailable. These bags contain a specialized gel that solidifies human waste, neutralizing its odor and containing its contents to prevent contamination. They’re commonly used for camping, hiking, outdoor festivals, and even natural disaster relief.
Here are a few scenarios that will make you want to keep a WAG bag on hand for those just-in-case moments.
WAG Bags for Emergencies
When disaster strikes, sewer systems can leave people without working bathrooms. It’s a harsh reality. You’ll want the best WAG bags in your disaster preparedness kit if you live in a region prone to natural disasters like hurricanes or extreme flooding.
Severe water and electrical grid disruptions can leave communities without safe running water or functioning toilets. Disaster relief officials may even advise those affected not to send water down sewer lines.
WAG bags are an extremely practical solution for hygienic and dignified bathroom use during a disaster. With WAG bags on hand, you can place the bag inside your toilet, allowing you to use the restroom in the comfort of your own home. WAG bags render your waste odorless within 10 seconds and can be thrown away in the regular trash.
Just take it from a customer who used our products in the wake of Hurricane Helene:
“The storm destroyed the water and sewer system in the town where I live…We had no water, but we could get free potable water from the town and non-potable water from local ponds. However, we were asked to not send any water down the sewer lines. My husband and I used this product over 15 years ago when we went tent camping and I still had a few in the closet with my camping equipment. This product worked great on the toilet in the house and made keeping the waste out of the sewer system much easier tha[n] it would have been otherwise.”
You don’t need additional stress during an emergency. Keeping a few WAG bags on hand is a straightforward way to prepare for the unexpected.
