I was on a flight a few months ago when a stomach bug started to get the best of me. I felt fine before I went, other than a slight upset stomach. I had no idea I was going to get to the point of throwing up on my final flight.

As I looked at the possibility of using that little bag they provide, I was remembering the last time I threw up, and could just picture me filling that and blowing it out of my hand.

Fortunately, I was able to hold my cookies and didn't need it, and now I travel with one of the hospital versions that was left over from my wife's chemo days last year. It's compact, will hold 2 liters and has a plastic ring to hold it open and to grip. Hopefully I will never need it.

Has anyone else here had the misfortune of using the provided bags, and were they adequate in size?
