Use a piece of dense sponge, same as they use in camera bags. You sculpt
it to suit. I suppose a medium sized potato would do, but you'd need to
replace it periodically. . .

What's wrong with the above, though? I'd have thought that was precisely
what was needed here. If that's no good I'm not sure what your criteria
are.

Failing that - couldn't you just keep a small pouch inside your bag, along
the lines of http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/270633312777 to store the charger
in?

The bag itself looks reasonably robust to me anyway though - is it really
likely to be punctured by a 3-pin plug?

It is - when every lead of pretty much every brand new appliance that
passes through my hands has one in the packaging. And they all go

Push it into a bit of florists foam, the stuff they use in flower
arrangements.

Save the plastic protector that nearly all appliances have on the plug
when you buy them.

It tends to crumble into green dust pretty quickly. You want the closed
cell packing foam that heavier bits of delicate kit get delivered in to
protect the corners from damage. Cut a piece just big enough to cover
the plug and drill three holes in about the right places and squash it
on and you are done. Sculpt it to taste afterwards.

Failing that balsa wood would do...

Alternatively, the OP could google for "folding 13a plug" and replace
the offending plug with a suitable foldable/stowable alternative from
the many various models on offer.

Yes but, as others have said, that's horribly crumbly.

How about a small offcut of Kingspan?

A 3 pin socket will do that, after rounding off or masking any sharp edges.

If you fancy that idea get a single rubber trailing socket (Duraplug etc)
which has no sharp edges.

A good use for one of those dangerous unfused and unshuttered travel
adaptors that often come with electrical goods from China, at last!
Just remove the pins.

Jeez, the photo gives a perfect demonstration of how to totally f'ck the
lead on an adaptor/hair drier/etc by tightly bending it double at the
strain relief.

I use the foam block solution suggested elsewhere on thread.

everyone else who posted their thoughts.

I throw away (on average) four plastic plug pin protectors that come

Find an old mains plug from which all the metal bits can be removed.
Once removed, reassemble it and use that empty plug as a socket.

You could buy a multi country charger where the appropriate mains plug adaptor
slides and clips into the charger body, the pins on the loose adaptor might be
less likely to pierce the bag.
