We have two very different ways of traveling.

I use one of the packing cubes to keep it separate.

Same. We just use plastic bags for dirty laundry, for dirty shoes, for wet or damp stuff (swimwear for eg). We carry trashbags from home, but also make use of plastic laundry bags that hotels provide. We find that folding dirty laundry neatly in the plastic bags takes less space in the suitcase.

In a bag. A plastic bag. This is not complicated.

I don’t even understand what you’re talking about. She’s looking for a laundry bag alternative, not an alternative material for a laundry bag. If you’re going to be sanctimonious, at least make sense.

Ha! No. The trash bag is in one of our carryons. It separates the dirty from the clean clothes until we either wash them while on vacation, or take them home.

I have a packing cube/non mesh laundry bag for dirty things. Or a pocket of the suitcase. We also wash mid trip usually.

You carry a trash bag around between cities? No wonder Americans have a bad reputation, sheesh.

How many people are going?
4 of us did a 10-day trip to Costa Rica. We all started with our own suitcase. After each location, we designated one suitcase for dirties. It worked pretty well. If you can't swing that, then try to keep one half of the suitcase for dirty and then the other half as clean.
