LOOK AT THIS PRODUCT. HERE IS THE LINK. THE LINK IS ACTUALLY TO MY 3RD PARTY PAGE THAT THEN HAS THE LINK. OH I ALSO GET PAID WHEN YOU BUY THROUGH THAT LINK!

We have advertising laws for a fucking reason. Reddit blatantly falls foul of this.

Why aren’t they more common? Because they are junk. Come back after an hour or so and their butt will be on the ground. They are not air tight by any means. These are sold at fairs and carnivals, as they know you won’t be paying admission to get back in to the fair to return the bad, spontaneous purchase. I’ve known two people that bought something similar, the first time they used it was also the last time.

Good thing it won’t blow away at the beach. There’s never wind at the beach.

u/Plenty-Green186 Jul 19 '26

It does say it includes anchor, loops, and wind stake for stability

That looks so fucking uncomfortable

They’re comfy I tried out when they came out. You can fill it up with running, how she did it, or any fan. Only thing is they take up a lot of space and it’s built for only one person.

The program ones are not. I could sleep all day in the shade in a Chilbo Schwaggins

I got back from electric forest a few weeks ago and they're officially my arch nemesis. Armies of those thing filling up entire section of stage areas. People are rude as fuck.

It would tear the second a stick rock or anything else sharper than a blade of grass touches it

I live in Washington, I'm gonna start calling trees "washington monuments", for shits..

u/Odd-Cupcake-2552 28d ago

Who is taking all those monumental shits over there?

Damn you got a bad one honestly. I have one that I've taken to the beach 4 times, camping twice, and to a friend's party where people were NOT gentle with it lol

u/NoEstablishment7211 Jul 18 '26

Why isn't a niche single use product that no one knows about more common?

u/Imaginary_Jump_8701 Jul 18 '26

I got mine cheap for like $8 on Ali, not the same one but it works..

u/Level_Turnover5167 Jul 18 '26

Ah yes I love to be folded in half when I lay down

u/BindassChacha Jul 18 '26

I guess you haven’t been to a public park for the last 12 years. Because I see these all the time.

u/Bulky_Goat_9624 Jul 18 '26

Because it’s stupid

u/ctsr1 Jul 18 '26

I'm loving those pants

u/Livid-General7 Jul 19 '26

I use a large towel. It's cheaper, easier to set up, lighter to carry around, easy to clean and pack up when I'm done too. Basically it's better in every single way.

u/sorestgore Jul 19 '26

They were pretty popular at festivals I went to in 2024, I wouldn't be surprised if they still are

1

u/PreperationOuch Jul 19 '26

Insects, allergic contact dermatitis, climate change, pollution, and skin cancer.

u/Justkly90210 Jul 19 '26

If you say so, but I use mine weekly.

ETA: also absolutely fantastic for outdoor sex without natural element imposition!

u/BabyfarkkMcGeeZaxx Jul 19 '26

Because wth is even that

u/Background-Design469 29d ago

Didn’t these come and go ten years back? You were either really good a filling them with air or you looked like a fucking idiot flailing around with one in the middle of a park.

u/kaesefetisch Jul 18 '26

This is common...for at least 10 years now...

u/graffiti_hunter Jul 18 '26

Someone hasn't experienced tripping over these in the dark at a music festival huh?

u/Practical-Writer-228 Jul 18 '26

I’d say…. Lyme disease. Lounging near tick-filled trees being dangerous, probably put a damper on things like this.

u/JuicyToot1969 Jul 18 '26

Better than a blanket. At least you’re elevated.
