I’ve Been Influenced, and Now I Want (Need?) The Bogg Bag

When Crocs phased out their flat ballerina shoes, I felt a pang of sadness. After a brief moment of mourning, I went on a shopping spree for my kids, grabbing Crocs in case their favorites were also discontinued. I appreciate how easy they are to clean, especially since kids constantly step in all sorts of messes. Now, that same easy-to-clean, durable material is available in a tote—though it’s not affiliated with the Crocs brand, you can understand the vibe. It’s called the Bogg Bag.

Mom groups are buzzing about these bags. It’s as if there are no alternatives for lugging our kids’ wet towels, snacks, and water bottles to the lake or pool. While we know there are other options, many of us have succumbed to the trend (or peer pressure) and are diving into the Bogg Bag craze. Why not, right?

Created by a mom whose family loves the beach, this bag is designed to endure the wear and tear that only kids and sandy shores can inflict on a tote. The Bogg Bag is easy to rinse off and can manage spills, whether from kids or beach adventures. The family launched the company and patented the bag back in 2011.

The Bogg Bag embodies everything I’ve ever wanted in a bag—especially post-kids. Do you have any idea how much stuff I haul around for them? Stain-prone, smelly items that leave mystery debris at the bottom of my mom bag. Just the other day, I found a bird feather in there (yes, a bird feather!). My kids treat my bag like a bottomless pit, tossing in their treasures without a care for cleanliness. And in the summertime, it’s even worse. That’s why the Bogg Bag caught my eye.

Available in around thirty colors—okay, maybe not 6,000, but close enough—there are even prints to choose from. I could switch bags every day of the month! All these options make it perfect for my indecisive nature. Though they aren’t the cheapest bags, they are incredibly practical. Go ahead and take a look; you might find yourself drooling over them like I did. Don’t worry, you can easily wipe the drool off since they’re waterproof too.

The Original Bogg® Bag (Extra Large Tote 19x15x9.5) is my go-to. Sure, the smaller Bogg Bag is great as well, but I tend to stuff mine with all sorts of treasures (and trash)—remember that bird feather? Recently, I found a collection of pebbles and seashells from the beach at the bottom of my bag, thanks to my little collector. The bag features holes that help expel sand, eliminate odors, and allows for easy cleaning. That’s why moms are raving about it; we need more items in life that are this simple to clean.

Then there are limited edition bags, like my favorite with the pineapple design. Every time I see it, I imagine sipping a cocktail garnished with pineapple. Some people associate pineapples with swinging, but that’s not why I adore it!

For my birthday, I’m asking for a gift card to get a Bogg Bag. This isn’t a paid endorsement; I’m just genuinely excited about this bag. Bring on the pebbles, feathers, and sand—my future Bogg Bag can handle it.
