I do not think it expands to 60L though! And it's very expensive!! At the moment I have no room to store anything, let alone Fitch otherwise I'd try that, though I am planning on getting a couple of the 1kg bags (which is the smallest the do) to try - might use in the carrier or play box or something for now. Hopefully once I move I will have a lot more space so can get Fitch! Am still on the lookout for something that is absorbant, doesn't smell and isn't too expensive!!
I found Carefresh to be even worse than Fitch for odor control (absorbency was alright) and it was expensive too - I can't afford to pay £18 for bedding every month!

The Fitch bag is actually quite easy to store as it can compress into different shapes - I have mine in a corner p my mums bedroom with a blanket draped over it so it looks like a beanbag
