Single parent and fed up of being the carrier of everything, especially when travelling and the passports, boarding passes etc. Ok when wearing a coat as can put in pockets but summer… not so easily as I have a small little backpack and the constant taking it off to get out passport, water bottle, wallet or phone drives me barmy!

any good recs? Decent size, as would love to include small water bottle, wallet, phone passports.

Dont give a hoot what it looks like. And happy to spent up to… £30?

Hence the user name.

I thought it was perhaps an ironic username

although perhaps you meant busy on mumsnet?

@Lesssugarketchup I've just seen you've stalked me on another thread and commented confusing it with this one. Hilarity has ensued!

It wasn’t a mistake! Bit of a joke

but my mistake. When someone is really tired, best not to kid around

No wonder you’re tired if you’ve been busy on mumsnet on all day poor thing!

Nice save. Loving the way you style it out. I shan't answer anymore as it's tiresome (see what I did there).

Well yes I imagine you do find it tiresome, given you’re so tired.

Omg. Will you two stop. My uni age DD has the Uniqlo one as do all her friends. It’s great. I have a much smaller one from Costco, a lululemon wannabe. It’s also great but half the size.

Decathlon do a Uniqlo dupe, saw it in there the other day for about £12 I think?

EmmaStone · 29/06/2023 21:22

I've got the Uniqlo one as well, I love it more than a bag of its size and value deserves! It's perfect.

Plump82 · 29/06/2023 21:27

These are identical to the Uniqlo ones and only a fiver

The healthy back bag large baglett is brilliant for this kind of thing, although you’d only get a small bottle of water in it.

I have this in navy and it’s great for travel. Can fit a surprising amount in.

Leftbutcameback · 29/06/2023 22:13

Does anyone have the Uniqlo one in green? I quite fancied that colour as well

Hedonism · 29/06/2023 22:23

I've got the Uniqlo one, it fits so much!

Pashazade · 29/06/2023 22:26

I see the Uniqlo has been purchased but Osprey do a nice one and it fits quite a lot!

Amazon is a recommendation. As I said good luck.

Blatantly clear she wanted recommendations of bumbags, not places to buy them. I have no idea why people can't just back down when the realise they've made a mistake. I'd rather step back and keep quiet then carry on arguing and just prove myself as being a complete arse for the sake of it.

Lesssugarketchup · 30/06/2023 05:28

Thanks for all the recs
excites to receive my Uniqlo one
and thank you @FarmGirl78

When it gets like this one of you has to bow out. It is usually me and I have to suck up the humiliation of the other person thinking they’ve “won” or that I have “flounced out” in a huff, but it’s better than the mind numbing table tennis of inane insults I have sometimes been drawn into.

Waystation · 30/06/2023 10:12

Just be warned with the uniqlo - I bought the black one for dog walking…. I now have four and use them all the time - I open the cupboard and look at my lovely (expensive) handbags and then just grab whichever colour works! So easy to use and as previously said it’s like a tardis!

Pandorapitstop · 30/06/2023 11:01

I bought the Uniqlo one for a recent holiday, and it was perfect for sightseeing day trips: a veritable tardis, as a PP said.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 30/06/2023 11:36

On the title it came up as this : I’m taking the plunge and getting bum on mine . I thought the rest of it was lift or surgery

But the Uniqlo bag is really good , my 21yo DD has one in black , I'm sure she'd get another colour too .

I have a Roka cross body scooter bag , it's lovely .
