What an outstanding product. These bags actually saved my first floor from major flooding. When Hurricane Matthew hit, my home was surrounded by water. Fortunately, the water went down just inches before entering the house.
When Hurricane Florence was headed my way I knew I had to try anything to keep the water out of the house. Ordered the bags and received them in less than a week. The bags arrived, put them around the house that day, then evacuated the house for three weeks.
Upon returning discovered no water entered the house, but the sandless sandbags were totally full of water. Don’t know how well they will hold up on a second or third use, but they paid for themselves on the first use in my opinion.
When new these bags are lightweight and easy to handle. When filled with water they are heavy. Highly recommend these bags and I will definitely be ordering more.

Saved my home when water tank blew
Reviewed in the United States on 19 November 2022
I bought FloodSax after a hurricane to have on hand in case of emergency. I’m so glad I did. About 6 months after I bought them our hot water tank had a major leak and water was all over the basement. I opened the FloodSax, put them down wherever it was wet and within 30 minutes the water was completely contained. The damage would certainly have been worse if not for this amazing product.

These were a Life saver in 2024 Tampa Flood
Reviewed in the United States on 7 September 2025
So I saw these were online and I ordered them back in 2018. I live in Tampa Florida and had them in my closet until Oct 2024 and they saved my home from flooding. I cannot recommend them enough. I needed more than I had so I ordered some off brand version that would get here in time. Big Difference. They worked in a pinch so better than nothing, but stacked next to these FloodSax no comparison. I have since bought 40 more to keep in reserve and just ordered 40 more because the price has come down. They are safe to store for ever.

Flat pack sandbags - effective for dealing with emergencies
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 January 2026
Great for storing for dealing with emergency floods - whether caused by a downpour or accidental spills. They are effectively flat pack and light weight sandbags.

Great product - really works
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 November 2023
The FloodSax Sandless Sandbags were despatched the same day that I placed my order. Unfortunately my driveway slopes towards my garage and I needed to try to prevent water entering during storm force torrential rain that had been forecast.
The bags started to expand as soon as I put them into a large bowl of water and the square shape of the bags made it much easier for me (as an older person) to put in place against the garage door, rather than the 5 ft long very heavy expanded sausage style bags that are on the market.
They arrived well packaged in a flat vacuum bag and can be used without putting into water first, for such things as a leak from a washing machine etc. and the instructions also state that they can be used to push into the entrance of a toilet soil pipe to prevent sewerage flooding up.
Have ordered some more to have as a preventative measure.

A clever self-inflating sandless bag
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 March 2020
This is a great product. It self inflates on contact with fresh water so it can be placed by those who can’t carry heavy weights. It stores compactly too. Excellent!

Easier than sandbags!
Reviewed in the United States on 20 November 2017
These bags probably saved me from some flooding, but I slept better knowing they were out there just in course. I only took a star away because I wish they would dry up and be reusable in the future.

Great Product
Reviewed in the United States on 13 July 2017
If I had to sum up in one word: effective. I have had a flooding issue in a small room near the pool. We get torrential rains in Florida and sometimes the drainage system cannot handle it.
I have tried sandbags as well as another flood type barriers that just did not work. These ‘pillows’ are the real deal. They are super adsorbent and have completely solved my problem. I have two of them inside and I do notice a bit of residue on the floor if they have been engaged. However, that sure beats lugging the shop vac every time it rains.

Extremely happy with FloodSax
Reviewed in the United States on 13 September 2019
I was very happy with this product. FloodSax kept the water out of my sunroom and garage during hurricane Dorian. I stacked them two layers high using 20 bags total. I’m hoping they will hold up in place so I can use them through the end of hurricane season in November. I will definitely buy them again next year as I live about 18 miles outside of Charleston and deal with the storms every year.

I'm very satisfied with this product and I will be buying more. Our yard is slightly higher than our inground pool and when we get those Spring torrential down pours dirty water gets into our pool swimming pool but these bags do a great job redirecting the water.
