How to open a T-shirt bag even with gloves

Now, for their own safety, everyone wears disposable gloves. Before going to the store, we put on and then just throw them in the trash can. The cheapest are plastic gloves, but it is with them that the problem arises in the store. It is almost impossible to open a plastic bag with such gloves. Everything slips, and you will waste your nerves and time on unsuccessful attempts or asking the seller for help. And if there is also a queue for you, then you can run into a scandal from impatient buyers.

These packages have a hidden secret that sellers know. That is why they manage to complete the task in a second. But they do it so quickly that it is quite difficult to understand the manipulation. So let's see what this secret is.

This way, you can quickly and easily open the bag without the unaesthetic (and today dangerous) wetting of your fingers with saliva. Try it and be surprised.

How to deal with a knot on a plastic bag

Oh, those nodes on the packages. Very little effort when tightening the knot - and it is easier to tear the bag than to open it. Most do so. The most unpleasant thing is when a bag with bulk products: sugar or cereals is closed with such a knot, double or single. Breaking such a bag is exactly like spilling the contents. What to do?

And it’s true: who would have thought that it’s so simple!

There is an alternative!

But it is even better to think about avoiding the use of such packages as much as possible. Does the thought of a string bag evoke memories of grandmothers in Soviet stores? For your information, the shopping bags are not the same.

And such bags can withstand much more weight than the same bags. You can freely carry a fifteen-kilogram watermelon home. And, what is more important, you will not suffer from squeezing your fingers and palms with the stretched handles of the plastic bag. The handles of the fabric bag do not put pressure on your fingers. In addition, you will definitely be warmed by the thought that you are making a small but real contribution to the protection of the environment.

So it is worth remembering that everything ingenious is very simple. And as a supplement to this material, we offer you a visual solution to another urgent problem for many: opening a sewn-in bag-packing:
