Cloth diapers...what do you do with the dirties?

Two of the most common questions about cloth diapers are 1) What do you do with the dirty diapers? and 2) What about poop? Here's my take on it. I started out using a wet pail (cold water in a bucket) and it was terrible. Stinky, messy, all around yucky. I don't recommend it. Then I got a step-pedal diaper trash can and used a linen bag (bought from Walmart). Because the pail was closed up and no air got in, it STUNK!!! Worse than the wet pail did. The ammonia smell was nauseating within a few hours of the first diaper going in. I then decided to get a hanging wetbag and I love it! It holds about 1 1/2 days worth of my 23 months old's dirty diapers. I keep it hanging on my garage door, next to the washer/dryer closet, and keep it open until it's full. There is no stink at all.

For the poop, I have a diaper sprayer I bought off ebay (this seller) and I love it. We use it with every single poopy diaper and it works great. I don't know how I lived without it, honestly. I keep an old ice cream container (plastic, one gallon tub) next to the toilet and I put the dripping wet, sprayed diaper in there until wash day.

If you are a cloth diaperer, what do YOU do with the dirty diapers?

Long time, no blog

My family has been sick, then there were the holidays, and now life is returning to normal. My first blog of 2009 is going to have to be this giveaway on Baby Goodbuys. What a great way to score some free diapers, or to try out a universally-liked brand, BumGenius. :)
