Abstract
A laundry bag has two flaps, one for directly overlying laundry and the second to overlie the first and close the bag. Side panels at right angles to the flaps also fold over laundry. The side and flaps join the body of the bag at a seam. This seam provides a natural fold for the sides and flaps to fold over the top of a hamper and hold the bag to the hamper. A band extends from the seam to stiffen the fold and reinforce the bag proximate the seam.
