I THINK THEY ARE USING PARCHMENT PAPER CONES
I found one for around $5 on amazon and it is for small piping jobs. It is put out by Kitchen Krafts.

I tried to copy the link to the page so you could see if this is what you are looking for.
I grabbed some smaller freezer bags (sandwich size) at the dollar store awhile ago and found them to be too small for anything I really need to freeze so I tried them as a smaller piping bag and whallaa! They worked perfect. I wouldn't suggest using the regular strenght sandwich bags though as they were too thin and broke easily. But, because I still have more freezer bags I am doing a lot more small piping. You might want to give it a shot.
I can't seem to keep the icing from oozing out the top when I try to use parchment cones. Also, I don't have much luck with getting a good flow of icing out of the hole-too big, too small, not round. I've tried using tips but the icing oozes down the sides of the tips. Any advice?
Alana, I am right there with you. The last bit of piping that I did was copying 2 pages out of a textbook for a graduation cake. I used Wilton's premade black icing where the #2 tip attached right on thinking that would be easier. HA! I thought that I was going to need a hand transplant about halfway through. I have my first piping since then coming up, and have been worried about it because of the last time. I am hoping these small bags are the answer.
Thanks to everyone for all of the great ideas! I am going to give the small freezer bags a shot, and if that doesn't work for me, I now have a great website. YAY for options!
I was wondering the same thing, but I was thinking some type of mini plastic bottle would work well. You know like an eye dropper only bigger so you could fit a decent amount of piping gel in it? Even the hairdresser's color application bottles with smaller holes. I did find one with a slanted tip that might work wonders. Does anyone use something like that?
you can use the disposable ones cut down to size

I'm not sure I understand that, I'm a little slow today! Do you mean there are smaller bottles-or use larger bottles and cut them to meet your needs? Is the hole small enough to do detailed piping? Are there some that you can make your own hole for different piping needs? Uh oh, you got me started, be warned I'll have a thousand questions! Isn't it amazing how many different types of stores we can find decorating supplies?
I guess another problem that I have with the bigger bags is that in order for my penmanship to be legible - let alone neat and pretty - I want to hold the bag like a pencilish. Even if you trim down the big disposible bags, they are too big to do that. That my just be my poor technique's fault though.
yeah i did mean the bags and cut them down and twist tie them for no ozzing out the top
