Ice cube bags needed

Does anyone know where I can get the old fashioned type of ice cube bag: the type that have to be knotted at the top? I specifically do not want the self-sealing with frozen water type.
I found one on Amazn, but the reviews were not very good.

    Thank you for the links. Unfortunately, the Caroline ones are self-sealing meaning they leak as they thaw.

    Make the ice cubes, transfer them to another plastic bag and put them back in the freezer ? Then you can take out as many as you need.

    I have never had a self sealing bag leak and I make ice cubes all the time?

    I just use Asda ones and I turn them upside down once filled to make the bag seal which works.

    Good idea Meer. So blinkin obvious!!
    However, being able to re-use the same bag would be an advantage as
    I want to take the bags as impromptu freezer blocks whilst travelling abroad. I don't have the extra capacity for proper freezer blocks. A couple of cube bags take very little space and weight. I already use the freezing water bottles method. The advantage of the cube bags is that they are flat and can be placed above and below the food in a flattish bag, unlike water bottles.

    So why not just use freezer gel packs?
