What is it?

The Cinchy is a cloth bag with a soft interior which can be turned into a mat in seconds. Once turned into a mat, it becomes 36 inches wide, and when it’s being used as a bag, the straps are 23-27 inches long. Inside, there are eight pockets made out of durable mesh, in which you can organize your essential items for the day. The versatile carryall comes in five different designs. 

How does it work? 

When being used as a carryall, the Cinchy looks just like a regular bag. However, due to its cinchable straps and soft materials, it can fold out into a comfortable mat in a jiffy. Just carry your much-needed items in its eight pockets to the park, beach, pool, or anyplace else you may be going, and then sit on it to keep your bottom free of water or dirt. 

How to use it: 

1. Uncinch the straps so that the Cinchy is a mat, and lay it down on a flat surface. 
2. Choose the items you want to carry in its pockets, and put them in, using whatever organizational scheme you like.
3. Place any additional items that are fine to stay loose in the middle of the mat. 
4. Pull the straps on each side to cinch them, until they’re pulled tightly enough to turn the mat into a bag.
5. Put the straps over your shoulder and be on your way. 

Advantages 

• Machine washable
• Created by a mom, and great for diapers and other essentials for children, such as toys, snacks, and sunscreen
• Eight different pockets help any user with organization 
• Can be taken virtually anywhere, including on overnight trips
• Keeps bottoms and supplies away from outdoor dirt and water
• Due to the five different designs offered, all Cinchy bags do not look identical 

What makes it better than a standard tote bag?

First of all, many tote bags just contain one huge pouch, while the Cinchy helps you get organized by offering you eight sturdy pouches to divide your items between. Secondly, it’s machine washable, so you won’t have to pay hefty dry cleaning fees as you may need to for other bags. Perhaps most importantly, since it can perform double-duty as a mat, you won’t have to sit in the wet grass or sand, and end up with soiled jeans. By sitting on the Cinchy, you’ll also feel more comfortable when forced to sit on hard bleachers or cement at events. 

Why purchase it? 

Aside from reaping all the benefits outlined above, you’ll also be offered two free gifts when you purchase a Cinchy. These include the Cinchy Buddy, which is a bit smaller than the main bag, and waterproof. It’s good for snacks, drinks, and other things you absolutely don’t want to get wet. You’ll also be given a free makeup bag, which is even smaller than the Buddy, and comes in the same stylish designs as the main bag does. Once you have this trio, your carryall needs will certainly be covered, whether you’re travelling to the local park or to a hotel in the next city. 

Conclusion

Whether you’re a parent or just someone who wants to carry a bunch of stuff more easily, the Cinchy will make your days a lot easier. Although women love the Cinchy, they aren’t just for the female gender. A couple of the designs available look rather masculine, so if you’re a guy who’s into efficiency, you won’t want to miss out.
