Poll: What Kind Of Icing Bags Do We Use?

featherweight for BC and royal (occasionally parchment when I just need a little of one color) Parchment for chocolate
I prefer featherweights but I also use disposables (Wilton).
I don't have much of a problem with cleaning the bags. I use the saran wrap method and then throw the bags in a sink filled with soapy water. I will even run the bags through the dishwasher, which I prop open by attaching the bottom edges to the spokes by using binder clips.
For some reason I don't like the feel of the disposables. Maybe my hand slips or something. I'm not really sure what it is.
The saran wrap method is where you roll up the BC in saran wrap and then stick the saran wrap roll into the decorating bag. You pull the wrap through the coupler and trim off the end before applying the tip. You still get some BC at the end of the bag where the coupler is located but for the most part your bag stays clean. Unless, of course, you use too much BC for the amount of saran wrap which causes a blow out inside of the bag. I also advise to use garbage bag wires to tie of the top end of the saran wrap.

Cool. Thanks for sharing!
I have used parchment triangles for quick stuff like piping on petit fours yet I have disposable Wilton bags for my dark colors and I have reusable bags when I have a lot of piping for one color so I go for variety. I have even used sandwich bags/snack bags plastic of course cut the corner and use that if I'm in a pinch. Hope that helps.
Featherweight (wilton) for icing tip...if I use it
Disposable for most decorating
Parchment for some royal icing and piping.
