Even with some kind of handle, a soft, floppy bag is less ergonomic to carry than a hard-sided container with a molded handle. The only use case for a soft-sided liquid container that makes design sense are the flasks that fit inside a running vest and therefore flex to the shape of your chest along with the vest material.
- rpgwaiter 3y agoThe pro tip is to get a hard container to hold your milk bag
- joker_minmax 3y agoIn Canada families have a pitcher that's the right shape and size for the milk bags that are sold, and is reused. You just snip the corner off the bag. That said, the milk is double bagged (several smaller bags of milk in a larger bag, 1L each maybe?), so there is still a fair bit of plastic involved. The time I was visiting my friend in Canada one of the bags that he brought home busted. Not exactly fun
- timbit42 3y agoThe outer bag contains three 1.333 litre pouches of milk for a total of four litres per bag. You definitely want to check that no milk has leaked from the pouches into the outer bag before purchasing. They are fairly robust though. They can withstand a fair bit of mishandling but sharp objects are their worst enemy.
