【3COINS】Convenient for outdoor use! I gained the freedom to do laundry with a wash bag that can also be used in emergencies

Have you ever felt, "If only I could wash this one item right now," while camping or traveling? This time, I tried doing laundry with the 3COINS wash bag using just water and a small amount of detergent. The actual experience felt like I gained the freedom to do laundry!

A wash bag that is convenient when you just want to wash a little bit

There are more situations than you'd expect while traveling or going out where you think, "If only I could wash just one item right now."

The morning after camping, you might suddenly notice that your T-shirt still has the smell of the campfire. Or, you may have felt reluctant to bring home muddy pants after playing in the park with your child.
That's why I decided to try the 3COINS wash bag. The motivation was to have an easy-to-use laundry item for camping, where I want to minimize my luggage.

Just add water and detergent and shake the bag! Wash without increasing your luggage

The rule of thumb for camping is to reduce your load as much as possible. However, you still feel uneasy unless you bring a certain amount of change of clothes. With a wash bag (laundry bag), you can assume that you can do laundry on site, which brings a sense of security. Additionally, when folded, it fits into the size of your palm, allowing you to tuck it away in the gaps of your bag.
This time, I tried washing my sweat-drenched T-shirt from camping using a wash bag.
I placed the T-shirt inside the wash bag,
added about 500ml of water from a plastic bottle, and
added one capful of liquid detergent, sealing it tightly.
Holding the wash bag with both hands, I shook it up and down for about 1-2 minutes, and bubbles began to form inside, with the T-shirt moving around well in the water. The 3COINS wash bag is transparent, so it's nice that you can easily see what's going on inside.
You can check the internal foaming and how dirt dissolves from the outside, so I could visually feel the assurance of "being properly cleaned."
After washing, drain the water, and if there are any bubbles left, refill with fresh water and rinse. Three rinses were enough.
Finally, twist the ends of the wash bag and wring out the moisture from the T-shirt thoroughly, and you're done. If you hang the T-shirt, it dries pleasantly by early afternoon.

The reassurance of "being washable."

In previous camping trips, I brought back "dirty clothes = things to wash after returning." However, just being able to do a minimum amount of maintenance on site significantly lightens both the load and the mind.
The expansion of the range I can control was a significant mental change. Especially when camping with children, dealing with unexpected dirt and sweat is part of the experience, so the reassurance of "being washable" is greater than I expected.

The reason I felt it could also be useful for disaster prevention

What I realized after trying it out is that the wash bag seems usable as a disaster prevention item. It allows for easy clothing maintenance without using electricity or gas, and just having water is very reassuring in emergencies.

It is more efficient than washing by hand, and the amount of water used can be minimized. I felt that "keeping one key item clean in case of emergencies" is not just about sustaining daily life, but also contributes to the hygiene and mental stability of myself and my family.

The feeling of regaining the freedom to choose laundering

Using the wash bag didn't dramatically change my life. However, just having the option to "wash here if needed" instead of "giving up because I can't wash" has certainly reduced the small inconveniences I felt while outdoors or traveling.

I feel that the freedom to do laundry has returned to me. I don’t want to increase my luggage, but I also want to reduce unnecessary stress... For adults who think like this, I believe this wash bag provides just the right amount of laundry freedom.
