Buti-bag haul review!

I am pretty excited to share my reviews on the company Buti-bag with you! They were kind enough to provide some of their popular items for me to review for all of you!  This company was founded by a mother of 2 boys who was unable to find a way to organizer her toiletry needs and decided to design her own bags with the help of her step mother. The byproducts of their ideas and talent will be reviewed below! Disclaimer: this is is going to be a very picture heavy post (click for larger pictures)!


buti-pod travel wipes cases v4.0


We buy our wipes in bulk like most people and keep it in each bathroom, in the dog area, and in the garage to wipe dirty paws or for our dog's peri-hygiene! We were looking for a travel case to use so we didn't have of multiple large bags to have them dry out and these fit the bill.


The bag features gusseted seams so it is expandable to accommodate lots of wipes. Though, their website advises no more than 15-20 wipes in order to keep it from drying out and for freshness. To fill the pod, you just unzip and stick wipes in! Very intuitive.


This particular bag design is one I haven't seen on the market yet and it features a zippered design to close the bag in order to keep your wipes moist. The bag itself is very light and not bulky at all, but you can fill it with 12-15 wipes. This buti-pod measures 8.5" x 5" and is 1.5oz.

buti-pod flip

The buti-pod flip wipes case features a flip top design. I opted for the hummingbird design and a clear one. I wish they had a 2 pack of both clear, but I actually like the hummingbird design. I wasn't a fan of the other blue checkered design, though.


This wipe case also features gusseted seam at the bottom, but for some reason, this one doesn't stay compacted and together. Once out of the plastic packaging it came in, it just stays partially open so it doesn't lay as flat as its zippered pal.


The design of the buti-flip is pretty similar to the Huggies Clutch N Clean. It is a travel flip case that you refill from the top zip-lock style seam. I personally love this style of travel wipe bags because the flip is so easy to open and close one handed rather than the zip. But, it's hard to say how long that plastic piece will stay intact from the constant opening and closing. It's bound to eventually split, unlike its pal, the buti-pod zipper.


The bag features a little carrying lanyard on the side, very similar to the Huggies one.


Also, as I mentioned, to refill, you just open the top and slide the wipes in. This is just just like your typical ziplock top. Again, this is my favorite design for use out of all the wipe cases in this post. But I am concerned about the longevity of the plastic open/close piece. This case measures 7" x 5" x 0.5", so it is slightly smaller than the buti-pod zippered pouch. I will show you a comparison of all 3 pouches I am reviewing below!

bitty buti-pod

This is exactly like its big brother, the butipod. Except, smaller. This is perfect for holding facial wipes, makeup wipes, or nose wipes for your baby!!  This is the perfect size for these smaller wipes so I am so glad these are not available! These are available in the both zipper and flip designs, but here we are reviewing the zipper version.

This bag also features the gusseted expandable seam.


Keep in mind, none of these pouches are leak-proof and is not meant to keep your wipes moist forever. The bitty buti-pod is 6" x 4.5", and expands 1 inch with the side gusset. I love these bags for my makeup wipes, they are the perfect size!


Here is a comparison of all three types of their travel cases so you can see the difference between each one.



And here are the two buti-pod and buti-flip with wipes inside, ready for use!


I do want to mention here that my reviews on the wipe dispenser bags are first impressions and I have only been able to test them for a week. I will update my post if I have any issues with the product after a few months or use to determine if they are study enough to handle the beating of frequent use!

buti earth bags, Classic Black Lace (2-pack)



These are Buti-EARTH-Bags! Basically they are your normal reusable grocery bags but better! They are made from strong laminated polypropylene fabric making it extremely sturdy for heavy groceries (like a gallon of milk and juice in the same bag!). The fabric used for these bags make them wipe-able, which addresses the sanitary issues with many reusable bags.

The handles are nylon material and extend all the way around the bottom of the bag to offer extra support and strengthen the ability of the bag to carry heavy items without ripping.

Dimensions when open (in inches): 13" wide x 15" high x 9.5" deep


The bag is nice and rigid so it doesn't flop over when you have it open to put groceries in it. It stands straight up on its own. Nothing is more frustrating when you are trying to load stuff in your bag and need one hand to open the bag and keep it open!!


The bag has a bottom insert that is rigid and reinforces the bottom of the bag. This does make the bag harder to fold. You have to take the insert out and put it on the side to be able to fold it properly. That's the only downside with the plastic insert even though it creates more support. My husband and I now each have one in our car to use and loved using it at the grocery store. The design is not too feminine for him to use either.

I was told by the owner that Buti-bag has a 90-day guarantee on their products to give you enough time to try out the products and if there are any issues, they can issue you a replacement or merchandise credit, shipping costs both ways is your responsibility. It's great they have this guarantee, but as a consumer, that makes me feel a little insecure about ordering when I don't have a guarantee of my money back (the original form of payment) if the item does not perform its function or is a disappointment. This guarantee isn't as good as your average stores like Target, which you can return items up to 90 days and receive a return with the method of your original form of payment. Sometimes, if I don't like a product, I don't want store credit to purchase any other products. So, there's that small risk. See the screenshot of their return policy below as of 7/4/2017.

Note: I was contacted by the owner of buti-bag, Nicole, and informed that if the customer is dissatisfied and they contact the company within 90 days the company will refund you in your original form of payment. If they ask for you to return the merchandise, you will need to pay for return shipping. See details below.
