How strong are our bags?
We’ve all had that moment on a dog walk… you bend down, bag at the ready, feeling smug about being a responsible dog owner — and then RIP. Suddenly, it’s “Hand-On-Poo, Eugh” or a HOPE moment, that you hoped didn't happen to you. Your once-hopeful stroll has turned into a walk of shame, and of course, you’re miles from home.
When I started Margopop Ltd, I decided enough was enough. I didn’t just want biodegradable bags — I wanted bulletproof ones (well, maybe not bulletproof, but definitely poo-proof). Bags that are like mini Hazmat suits for your hands. Ones that would save you from ever having those dreaded HOPE moments So I began testing them in ways other brands would never dare. Basically, if these bags were a person, they’d be auditioning for Ninja Warrior.
Here’s some of the “scientific” testing we do:
- Carrying a poo bag filled with 3 kg of weights over a 1 km walk to see if it splits.
- Rubbing it across rough concrete to mimic the hazards of everyday handling.
- Pick up four jumbo, cold, wet sausages — the ultimate test of grip, stretch, and general ick factor.
If our bags survive that, they’re ready for whatever your dog dishes out.
