Do shredded clothes. Sand becomes to dense

You probably know this now but next time, buy a filled one.

As said above, fabric is the way to go. Old sheets, shirts, towels, anything. It takes a LOT of them and they will soon compress (meaning you need to add more) so don't spend a lot on them.

Is this the kind that you can put water in?

Go through your wardrobe anything you've not worn for 1.5 years or more, cut it up, stuff it in.

Get yourself to garage sales, table top sales, charity shops. People will sell clothes for a dollar or maybe 2. Doesn't matter what they look like, tshirts, dresses, ladies/men's/ old peoples, Stuff them in, your after quantity here.

Table clothes are good, a lot of material for less money. Maybe a fabric warehouse/wholesaler, you can buy it by the meter and cheap

I would not recommend sand it goes very compact and makes the bag very dense and heavy, meaning hurting hands. If you part clothes, part sand, the sand works it way to the bottom through all the cracks

no, its a normal punching bag

I filled one with sand before, worked very well IMO.
