I kind of feel like I’m cheating on my Baggus by writing about these flip & tumble reusable bags. So I’ll start by saying that I love my Baggus. I really do. I use them constantly - for library books, groceries, gathering oranges from my parents’ trees, toting gear to swim class…you get the idea.

From what I can tell, the big differentiator is that the flip & tumble’s carrying case is attached to the bag itself. So basically you just scrunch the bag into its stretchy flaps, kind of like rolling your socks into a ball. Baggus have a separate little pouch, which really has not been a big deal for me, because I keep those in my backpack for when I need them. But my mom has commented a few times that having the pouches attached would be more convenient for her.

Also, it looks like the shape of the flip & tumble is longer and more purse-like - perhaps better suited to carry taller objects like a yoga mat. And maybe just a tad more fashionable than the Baggus. However Baggus can carry up to 25 pounds to flip & tumbles’ 20 pound limit. And Baggus now come in 21 colors including STRIPES! Finally, the flip & tumbles are almost as affordable as the Baggus, which are $8 each. I’m having the sudden urge to create a comparison spreadsheet. Go away corporate flashback!
